HIS M0T11ER-IX-LAW THE: VICTIM.

A Witness Who Declarer She Saw I lie Accused Heat the I'nforl unale Woman to Di'iilh-Motlvv lor (ho

Crime.

HIE IIOCTOIt t'NDKU A RltlvST. CHUAOO,March 4. Dr. Henry M.Seuddcr. son of the former pastor of Plymouth church, was arrested Wednesday at. his fathers home, o'.rjl Grand boulevard, charged with murder. Owing" to Dr. Scudder's assertion that lie is sick and nnnlde to leave his bed he has not been removed to the jail, but is closely guarded.

The Warrant..

The warrant on which Dr. Seudder is held was sworn out by the venerable I'. II. Iliuiton, proprietor of the Spirit of 111e Turf, anil tlio father-in-law of tin- accused. In the complaint on which the warrant was issued by Justice l!rnyt:m Wednesday morning, Mr. Ihintou alleges that on Sunday, 1'ebruar.v ':1, Dr. Souddcr murdered Mrs. Duntoii by beating her on the head witli a blunt weapon. The warrant was Hfivcn to oftieers, who went to the house on Crawl boulevard Wednesday morninp at 10 o'clock ami placd Dr. Seudder under arrest.

Story of the Crlimv

Mis. Seudder is the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I'. II. Dunton, and was married to Dr. .Seudder, who was then a widower, last September. Mrs. Duntun. who. at the time of her death, was '.•I venrs old, was an invalid, and sat up ii jrood deal in a reeliniiifr chair, pla'-nd near her bed, and did so on the day of her death, which was Sunday. I'ciiniarv -1. Dr. Seudder, who was a constant visitor at the Dunton mansion, was there, and in the sickroom that Slinday moruinjj.

What a Witnes* Mud.

A wit.ness saw Dr. Seudder and Mis: Diintcm standing tofrether in the room, Dr. Seudder beiny between her and the witness, who was in the hall, or on the stairea.se. Dr. Seudder had in the poclj.'t of his overcoat KomethinR a foot or more in length, wrapped up in a white cloth, which protruded above his pocket. A moment later Mr*. Dunton uttered a piercing scream, which was heard all over the house. At or about the same moment, a witness saw her on all fours on the floor, and Dr. Seudder striking her 011 the head with something like a club. The witness was in fear of the Scudders. and suppressed the fact until later. /'J'

Scudttcr's SIory.

When Mrs. Dunton screamed, everyone in the house ran to the room, the tirst arrival being Mr. Dunton, whom Dr. Seudder gently pushed hack, assuring him that lie was too ill to see his wife. To the rest of the family lie said that Mrs. Dunton hail fallen down three times and .struck her head against the furniture. When they arrived Mrs. Dunton was lying on her face, with her head, which was near the door, bleeding profusely from several wounds. S1 re was only partly conscious, and said nothing that was intelligible- before she died. Dr. Seudder and others started out for physicians. When they arrived they made an examination of Mrs. Dunton's scalp, and found that it had on it live or more wounds, which peHe'trated to the skull bone, if they did not. fracture the skull. It was plain also that they were made downward and forward, 011 the top and rear of the head. Dr. Seudder told the other physicians that he was present when Mrs. Seudder fell three times against the furniture, while he was attempting to hold her up.

Mrs. .D IIIIton'* Deal It.

Mrs. Dunton lay unconscious until S:S0 that afternoon and then died. The funeral was managed by the Seuddcrs, who, it is said, had the services at the house, and gave no one an opportunity to view the remains, which were immediately removed to .lauesville. Wis., for burial. When suspicion was directed to Dr. Seudder is not known, but it did not. ripen into certainty until last Sunday, and Dr. Scudder's arrest followed.

A Possible Motjvn.

If Dr. Seudder is guilty of the murder of Mrs. Dunton. the motive is easily.understood. Mrs. Dnnton was the of b.v will several years ago. the will being now on tile iu the probate court. In this will she left a large sum to her adopted daughter after her husband's dentil, but a very small sum previous to that. hat Dr. Seudder seems to have* dehired was to have Mrs. Seudder to come into possession of a large fortune at Mrs. Dunton's death, and lo have Mr. and Mrs. Dunton die as soon as possible.

A l-'or^Ml tVlli Is lliKrovcrctl. It has been found that a forged will had been prepared and substituted for the one signed by rs. Dunton on the Thursday preceding her death. The genuine will had distributed about S100,000 among blood relatives of the maker. In the bogus document the adopted daughter. Dr. Scudder's wife, received lie bulk of the estate. It was this discovery thateonvineed Mr. Dmiton that his wife had been murdered for her money. On Wednesday morning he swore out a warrant before .111.t ice Drayton charging "murder with malice aforethought." iWef uf the rrUom'r'* family.

Shortly after noon Thursday Deputy Sheriff llawley went to the Seudder residence armed with the writ, issue I by .1 udge' Scales, directing that the man in custody be taken to the county hospital.

When he left the house in company with Deputy llawley and Ollicer Dealt in his wife broke completely down, screaming and sobbing with grief. The father and other relatives were also much affectod.

MONEY FOR PENSIONS.

N»m inUslontT Itaioii lv\ |tl tiiiH Urn K.ll niHtcM lor th« I'isrul War. W A S IN O N -, March *1. —The subcommittee of I he house committee on pensions on Thursday examined (Jen. Kaum, commissioner of pensions, with reference, to tiut. estimates for 'pension appropriations for the next fiscal year. The commissioner said that last year Sl.SSO.OUO had been spent for medical examinations, and tins year $l,:i)U,OUO would he spent, which would bring that work up to date. The work of medical examination had been pushed forward with a great deal of energy, and the appropriation on that account would be reduced for the next fiscal year. The actual amount of money expended on account of pensions during the first six months of the year was There as now on the books j'.!S,9S4.!W against which no requisitions had boen made and about. SI3.000.000 was in the hands of agents, so that S-tri.OIIO.OUO was on hand for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Mr. O'Neill (Mass.) suggested that this amount of money would not be spent during the remaining months of this fiscal year. Gen. Kaum replied that it must be remembered that the work was being pushed up close to date, and that as the tirst payments on new claims averaged SI:S5,, considerable money would be necessary for this purpose.

Mr. Mutehler called aUeutiou to the fact that S135,000.000 was asked for the next fiscal year that last year Slti-t.-000,000 was spent, and on March 1 the expenditures were ST,000.000 under the expenditure for the corresponding month of last, year, so that there ought to be money left over this year.

The unfinished sections were considered without amendment and the committee then rose and reported the hill to the bouse and it was passed.

In the morning hour the house resumed consideration of the bill allowing railroad companies to give special rates to commercial travelers. Mr. Otis (Kail.) antagonized the measure. It was a stroke directed at the fundamental principle upon which the interstate law was founded.

Mr. O'Neill li'a.) ottered an amendment providing that nothing in the. bill shall be eonsffiied to prohibit any common earlier f'oni granting reduced rates of transportation to passengers or making reduced rates for freight. r\ Harris (Minn.) offered an amendment providing that any common carrier may give reduced rates to member- of the Orand Army of the Republic when traveling to or from any annual encampment.

The demand for the previous question was voted down—50 to 70--and pending action on the amendments the morning hour expired ami the house adjourned. The bill will now go on tlie calendar of unfinished business.
