HIGHEST COURT

W:ili lie Appealed to by Jol»s' Lnwycrs. Course Decided On.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—The attorneys of th'i convicted officers and directors of the American Railway union have at fcwsfi decided what legal course to puraufx They will apply to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus without:. going through any of the interHifcdiate courts.

They have little hope of success, but •feSais will not deter them from using titf.Ar beat endeavors. In any case the maui thing sought is to put the higher •toarts on record as favoring a con-struc-of the law which absolutely pre-TTt-iiits strikes as they are ordinarily c-on-*iiacted by orders from some recognized pes:.on or persons in authority. In Mpii,iking of the determination of the lawyers to adopt this course, Attorney Cirogory said:

There seems to be a popular idea Debs and iiis companions are going

£&y<ul of their own volition on Monday frauds,

Nothing could be further from '.ruth- The fact is, they are going •feo i-ciil because they can not possibly fcelu themselves. We have tried every "ELIiii our power to keep them out of j,ai5,. but without avail. There is no jimx-os of law by which they might Jaav« been kept out."

WATSON'S MURDER.

Mutter Wis No Doubt the Motive Fop the Foul Crimo.

TOPF.KA. Dec. 22.—The murder of Mrs. Matson remains as much of a mystery as ever. Little can be made of the story of the deaf aud dumb negro who claims to have seen two men enter and leave the house on the night of the murder, and no tangible clew has as yet been discovered.

The most, plausible theory of the murder appears to be that" she was murdered by some one familiar with her ways and with the fact that she kept mone}" iu her house, collected each month from a half dozen tenants. Mrs Mat-sou's husband, from whom she is separated, but not divorced, lives in San Diego, Cal. She was expecting liim to visit her in Topeka some time this month.

A message was sent to San Diego yesterday, telling of the murder and asking if Albert Matson, the husband, was still there aud had been continuously. A reply came in the afternoon saying: "Albert Matson is still in the city, but has heard nothing of the murder. Your message has been sent to his house, about two miles out. He is a music teacher here."

Yesterday two letters were found in Mrs. Matson's house, written by her husband from California in November. They told of some domestic trouble between the two and expressed contrition on the part of the husband and a desire to return to Topeka, which place he left eight years ago.

Sheriff Burgde last night arrested a negro named Frank Nevilsou suspicion, but refused to give any information as to the connection which the arrested man is supposed to have had with the crime. (Governor Leweiling will offer a reward of !?'J00 for the apprehension of the murderers, and there is talk of raising a purse of $100 for the employment of professional detectives to work on the case.

Her Husband Heard From

SAN DIEGO, Cal., Dec. 22 —The husband of Mrs. A. D. Matson, who was foully murdered some days ago in her house at Topeka, and discovered Thursday afternoon, lives in the suburbs of San Diego, where he has

urchased several lots, and is staying for his health. The first he knew of the terrible affair was when he was notified by Attorney A. L. Wright, who received word from a friend in Topeka that Mr. Matson was to be found there.

Mr. Matson said he had no idea of the murderers and lie knew of no trouble between his wife and others, and, in fact, he has been away for several months and did not know of the domestic arrangements at his home. He said the last letter from his wife, received some weeks ago, was to the effect that she intended to go to their ranch, some 125 miles from Topeka, on business. It was there when Mr. Matson first heard of her murder tiiat he supposed the deed was first committed.
