His father, mother and brother were burned to death. The fire occurred about 1 ¢’clcck in the Morning. Dr. Haugh's account of the affair was in- coherent, and the Coroner, after an inves- tigation, arrested the physician. Dr. Haugh is a “drug fiend” and has offen been under treatment for the mor- phine habit.

Dr. Haugh has been in .a secmingly dazed condition since his arrest, and indif- ferent to the death of his relatives or the charges pending against him.

This barber shop was the polling place of the first election district of the Eighteenth Assembly Dis- trict, which is the district where Charles F. Murphy, head of Tammany Hall, ‘is the leader. Hearst watchers found the two boxes. Deputies from State Superin- tendent of Elections Morgan's office taok | possession of the boxes. President John R.

The book was given to the jur: ‘ HEARST INCREASES REWARD. The situation to-day was described by William R. Hearst as follows: “The law committee has discovered | some very amazing things, and the deeper we go into this affair the uglier it looks. | We have evidence against twelve district | leaders, and I am confident that we shall | send two or three of them to prison. - I am just as much interested in the crim- inal prosecution of these cases as I am in the recount. In this case it makes no difference whether I am declared elected or not In comparison with the greater duty of sending criminals to jail. “It was for this purpose,” Hearst add- ed, *“and to strengthen the evidence against a certain district leader that I ‘made the offer of $10,000 reward to-day for such evidence. We have at least suf- Lficient evidence to prove the necessity of a recount, and 1 believe that a recount will show a difference of 20,000 votes in my favor,” Here Hearst said tbat many letters had been received by his managers purport- ing to show that men from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey had come to New York on election day and after voting fifteen or more times for the Tam- many ticket, for which they received a five-dollar note each time, returned to their homes. ‘Hearst denied the report that he had retained Joseph H.

Hearst to-day announced an additional reward of $10.000 for eviderige for the ar- rest, conviction and im nment of the first Tammany district leader to be con- victed of frauds agalnst the ballot in Tuesday’s elections. ' This is jin addition _other re- wards, aggregating $17.000, for proof of crimes against ‘the ballot’ and registra- tion laws in the election. ' This makes the. total of rewards.he has offered | 000, . President Voornis of the Board of Elec- tions to-day said the talk about missing | ballot-boxes was foolish. The board, he said, knew how marny boxes it .gave out, and as, far as he knew, all that should have ‘come back have been receued. He de- clared that the story, about ballot-boxes being found in the river is all false. It was announced at Tammany Hall to-day that Tammany district captains have secured evidence showing 'frauds committed by Hearst's supporters on elec- tion day. Sevcral leaders said that while a recount might lessen McClellan's vote, the countercharges of fraud which theyl intend to bring against the Hearst or- ganization. will likewise bring about the | Jessening of the Hearst vote and that in | this way an equal reduction will be maage in the vote Which will not affect the re- i sult. ————— = BETTING ON RECOUNT.
