He protested his innocence and declared that he came 2,900 miles to marry his fiancee and he did not see how any one could Imagine that he would wish to kill her. He Is 55 years old and a widower with six children, and since the death of his wife has paid Miss Fosburgh much attention. The authorities will not disclose the evidence upon which they felt justified In arresting him.
