Harold Poe of 692Q Minnesota avenue, whose purse it was, eee sy ne pursued a negro from the street *ar at St. Charles street and grappled with ham. The negro had the pock- etbook in his hand, he said. He was compelled to release him, however, when the negro with drawn knife threatened to cut. his throat, and he negro escaped. The rohbery occurred on Sept. 16. Hill was arrested on Nev. 12 and Poe at that time identified the ne- gro as the one he had pursued and with whom he had grappled. He repeated the identification at the trial vesterday. ; Steve Obrensky of .«@30 North Broadway, who was a passenger on the street car, testified that he saw a negro take the pocketbook from Poe and that Hill was that negro. Jurors, discussing thetr verdict, sald the testimony of Obrensky and Poe was contradictory in sevéral de- tails. They did not agree as to the color of the pocketbook They de- scribed the clothes worn by Hill dif- ferently. Poe said Obrensky gave him. 7 cents with which to continue on home. Obrensky testified he of- fered the. 7 cents, but that Poe did not take it. The jurors concluded, they said, men who differed in so manv detaila might be mistaken in an identification made nearly two monthe after the occurrence of the robery,, Hill's defense was an alibi.

It exists of itself for a specific purpose and is not procreated. “There was a mummy bnce in the British Museum which we believe was guarded by one of the elemen- tals, for everyone who came in con- tact with it came to grief. This was the mummy of a Queen, and even ene of my dear friends, a journalist, who investigated the circumstances surrounding the happening that be- fell the person who handled the mummy, was himself stricken imme- diately with typhoid and died. “The son of a friend of mine, Sir William Ingram, found a mummy while hunting in Samaliland. scribed on the mummy's breast were the words: ‘May the person who un- wraps me die rapidly and may his bones not be buried.’ This young man {in a few days was drowned in a water course, which rose with the spring freshets, and his body never was found. ‘Therefore, I think it quite possi- ble that Lord Carnarvon may have met his death through one of these elementals.

Archeological research, conducted on the scale he adopted, required almost unlimited resources which he had at his command. He was rated as immensely rich, his chief holdings being 36,000 acres of land.’ Besides, his fortune was aug- mented by an independent one of his wife, who participated in the di- vision of the estate of Alfred de Rothschild. The Carnarvon seat was at High- elere Castle, Hampshire, one of the Anest residences in England. The Farl was the fifth in his line, the son of that Earl of Carnarvon;. who was Secretary of State for the Col- onies under Disraeli. Lady Carnar- yon was Miss Wombell, a famous beauty and niece of Sir George Wombell of Balaklava fame. Resides his enthusiasm’ for ar cheology. Lord Carnarvon was an ardent photographer, and at least once a year every illustrated news- paper in England published some photographic study by him. He Was described by Intimate biographers as a small man with an unlimited sup- ply of restless energy. He spent at least nine months of every twelve in Egypt. and yet found time to maintain a stud stable and indulge in photography. He wrote prolif- fcally of his studies.
