TWO SUSPECTS NAMED

The Evansville Police Are Looking' lor (lues to the Mysterious I)uub!e Stiaiiiflhi:? Case. Coroner Walker Gives Ont That He IIas a Cine Which May Lie Fruitful. Evansville, Ind., Nov. 15. Developments show little that is new in the mystery surrounding the deaths of Mrs. Railey and Miss Renner., Theories are plentiful and rumors are numerous, and all are Investigated, but nothing seems to come of them. The police have given out that they bus pect a certain man of the murder of Mrs. .Railey, but his name cannot be learned. He disappeared from here on Tuesday, and a detective is in pursuit. He was followed through Illinois and to St. Louis. He was so closely pressed there that he again returned to Illinois, and it is reported that he was still eluding the officer. An attempt has been made to keep the absence of the detective a secret, but the bare fact of his mission leaked out. Hayes, the St. Louis traveling man, is still to be heard from. The general belief is that the man will yet figure conspicuously In the case. The police do not discuss Hayes further than to admit that he was very intimate with the Railey woman and was extremely Jealous of her In regard to receiving the attentions of other men. Coroner Walker is taking evidence in both cases, but as the inquest is secret nothing definite can be learned regarding his information. He says he believes he has a clue to the murderer of the Renner woman and that he will order an arrest before the week is over. Mrs. Railey and her husband, while separated, were not divorced. Railey is said to be a farmer near Stephensport, Ky. KKITlt'S K.XKCUTIUN NoriA """"li ifV-r's l urtorer ' flipiat Criniti With Hi Life. Michigan City, lnd., Nov. 15. Joseph IX Keith was hanged in the state rrison here this morning for the murder of Nora Kit'er. He was removed from his cell at 12:10 a. m. and led to the scaffold. At 12:12 the drop fell and in seven and one-half minutes the physicians pronounced him dead, when his body was cut down. Keith confessed that he committed the crime. He had the prison chaplain with him from 8 o'clock yesterday evening to the time he was removed from the cell. He ascended the scaffold singing. "I am going home to die no more," and finished the song before the drop fell. Tne confession covers two closely written pages of typewrlten matter and is addressed to Keith's wife. He said that Nora Kifer annoyed him much, and fearing her, he put the girl out of the way for the sake of his wife. Keith was a farmer la Warrick county. On April 3, 1900, Keith sent Miss Kifer a note asking her to be at an old bridge that night. This is the last time she waa seen alive. Her dead body was found some time afterward In a erven near Evansville. Later evidence was discovered that she was murdered near Keith's home and that the body was placed in a well, from which she was taken by Keith when he became alarmed at threats of search, and thrown into a creek many miles from the well. The case went to the supreme court, which on Nov. 1 affirmed a death sentence. The execution to,1ay was the first that has taken place in Indiana since 1S97. when Homer Jcnes. colored, of Indianapolis, was hanged for murdering another prisoner, during chapel service at the state prison. John Rinkard will be hanged in Michigan City prison Jan. 17. unless the supreme court or the governor interferes with the decision of the trial courfcthat found Rinkard guilty of murdering his wife.

C. N. HOWARD. What Do They Him? Think of The best endorsement that C. N. Howard can have for bis work in which he is en craved is to know what both friends and foes of righteousness and sobriety say of him. Colonel George W. Biin of Kentucky says: "I would rather be C. N. Howard than the proudest general that marched off a fi-jld of battle." The Chicago Times Herald: "His address was that of a practical business man and appealed to that class of men of which the audience was largely composed. The audience applauded to the echo. Dr. P. S. Henson, pastor of the church, leading in the expression of approval. " From the Wine and Spirit N ws, official organ of thetra'le: "Howard is a blasphemous wretch and vile impostor. He is sailing the black flag of piracy from the Atlantic to thMissquri river. . Fornouetuiess in-, famuu l lying Aaaruas and S;ipphira were stricken dead.
