The Moat House murder, as it was known, was committed more than four years ago and hope of solving the mys- tery had almost been given up when the body of the victim, Miss Holland, was found last April buried in the Moat House grounds. Miss Holland was the owner of Moat House. About four years ago Dougal, who was supposed to be her husband, but who, it was discovered subsequently, had never been married to her, made his ap- pearance there, and Miss Dougal, sup- posed to be his sister, took up her resi- dence on the place. Miss Holland disap- peared suddenly and Dougal sued the woman supposed to be his sister, but who really was his wife, for_divorce. This aroused suspicion and led to an investi- gation. Dougal was arrested for cashing a check purporting to have been signed by Miss Holland and while he was in custody the body of Miss Holland, for which a thorough but unsuccessful search had been made, was accidentally found by a laborer in an old ditch which had been planted over by a shrub nearly four years previously. The laborer struck his fork into a hard substance, which proved to be a shoe containing a woman's foot. Then Miss Holland's body was found ly- ing face downward. An examination showed that the head had been pierced by arbullet, which was found in the skull. Dougal was suspected of having made away with at least five wives, Trunks for Summer Outings.

SAN QUENTIN, July 4.—With an in- ane grin and a display of composure that savored palpably of mental vacuity and physical helplessness, Frederick C. Fischer dled on the gallows at the prison to-day. Fischer stepped briskly up the stairway to the platform from which he was to drop to ‘death, and gazed about him with a seeming sense of interest in the presence of the 200 persons who had assembled to see him die. He did not speak, because the Warden had advised him not to do so, but he indicated clearly his willingness to pay the law's penalty for the atroclous murder of his unoffend- ing wife at Riverside a few months ago. The condemned man was visited the night before the execution by George Montgomery Bulla of the Salvation Army and the Rev. A. W. Dehnett. To them he sald he had killed his wife be- cause he believed she would enjoy greater happiness beyond the grave and that he rejoiced in the prospect of joining her in a short time. Sherift Coburn of Riverside, the officer who saved Fischer from a mob, called on the prisoner early this morning and ob- talned from him a confession of crime. Fischer told Coburn that he had served terms In the Sing Sing and Jollet peniten- tiaries for robbery and that he was a criminal at heart. He spoke without re- serve of his earlier crimes and made no effort to conceal from his visitor the tact that he deliberately murdered his wife and attempted to burn her body. Fischer stood on the gallows trap at 10:36 o'clock. He was accompanied by ‘Warden Aguirre and a couple o? deputies. The officers of the prison lost no time in adjusting the straps, and almost before the spectators were are the black cap had been drawn over the head of the doomed murderer. the knot had been | made tight around his neck, the Warden's | life was ended. He was on the trap twenty-nine seconds. It was nearly fifteen minutes after the fall of the body when Dr. Casey of the prison and Dr. Jones of San Rafael pro- nounced the murderer dead. The body ' CAPITALISTS PURCHASE STOCK FARM IN HAWAII Will Go Extensively Into the Busi- ness of Raising Blooded Cattle for Home Market. HONOLULU, July 14—The cattle indu- try of Hawail Is about to recelve great impetus. A company which Includes among its members Samuel Parker and other capitalists has been formed to go extensively into the raising of blooded cattle. The company has launched its scheme by the spending of $112,000 In the purchase of 9,000 acres of land suitable for its purpose. It is expected that with- in a few years Hawailans will in a great measure be independent of the stock- raisers and butchers of the Pacific Coast, on whom they now largely depend for supplies of fresh meat. —_————— Insurance Against Strike Losses. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. July 14.—The Strike Insurance Company, growing out of the discussions at the recent meeting of the Manufacturers’ Association in New Or- was then removed to the morgue and probably will be interred by relatives. Fischer left a number of letters, written in a religious vein. He mentions in one that he possessed 6 cents when he | entered the prison and desired that it be | used for the purchase of tracts suitable to | the spiritual welfare of condemned men. | Amorng the visitors at the prison at the time of the execution were Sheriff John Kelly of Kern Coun and City Marshal Bert Tibbet of Bx field, the fearless young officer who shot the life out of Out- law Jim McKinney a few months ago. Tibbet's brother was killed by McKinney a few moments before the desperado dropped dead with a load of buckshot in his head. —_——— Fusiomn Candidate Is Elected. BOISE, Idaho, July 14.—James H.
