Also they seemed to be devoted friends. Charles A. PreJler and Walter L. Maxwell were the names they inscribed on the book, and It later developed that they were Englishmen, having come from Liverpool to Boston and thence to St Louis. At all events they were Inseparable companions, and their mutual devotion attracted the attention of the other guests of the house. Maxwell left the hotel first, saying that his friend Intended staying a few days longer. Also he suggested that he bad some work to do In his room and did not want to be disturbed. That was all very well, but when Prelier failed to make his appearance after two days the management of the house thought it was time to Investigate. There was no response to the knock on his room door and It bad to be forced. There was a trunk in the corner of the apartment It was opened and in It was found the dead body of Cbarlea A. Prelier. His mustache had been removed, probably to change his appearance, and on his clothing was pinned a sheet of paper on which was written: "So perish all traitors to the great cause." The first and most natural move on the part of the detectives was to try and find the former companion of the dead man. There was no special reason for suspecting that he had killed the friend to whom he seemed so devoted, but there was every reason for supposing that he might throw some light on the tragedy. Did the two men belong to some secret society? Were they being pursued by avengers? It was not easy to get on the track of Maxwell, but it was eventually learned that he had gone to San Francisco. The chief of police of that city worked In unison with the chief of police of St Louis. In a few days he was able to report that a man who looked very much like the description of Maxwell had been seen in the smoking room of the Palace hoteL Inquiry showed that this man had registered as T. C. D Auger, of Paris. He talked with a French accent, although one day, in answering a question suddenly asked by another guest, he spoke perfect English. Just when the police were planning to place him under arrest he left San Francisco for New Zealand. He was captured there, but resisted extradition. He seemed to have plenty of money and legal advice, but eventually the papers were signed by President Cleveland and the suspect was brought back to - A M tlUWi , Art I Mayor James RL Curley of Boston, nominated by the Democrats for governor of Massachusetts, will be opposed at the polls by Gasper G.

But the police got to work and in the course of time they proved a number of things. First it was shown that the handwriting on the note which was pinned to the clothing of the corpse in the trunk was that of Maxwell. It corresponded exactly with the signature he had Waced on the hotel register. That demolished the theory that Prelier had been the victim of the vengeance of some secret society. It was simply an Ingenious idea of Maxwell to send the police on a false scent Secondly, they proved that Maxwell had gone to a barber shop after leaving the Southern hotel and had bis beard taken off, and that after It had been done he turned to the barber and said: v 4ftNr V" 1 Miss Elinor Murdoch of New York, who was declared the winner of the "individual masters' championship of the American Bridge league at tournament In the Hotel Ambassador, New York.

Thirdly, they proved that he had purchased the trunk in which the body was found.

This furnished the motive for the calculated robcrime the bery of the man who had been his generous friend. At the trial he was confronted by the druggist from whom he had purchased the chloroform which he had used to overcome Prelier before murdering him.
