GIRL MAY nAVE N MURDERCH -— Miss Schmidt Thinks She Met Pirie’s Slayer. HE POINTED PISTOL AT HER HIS DESCRIPTION FITS THAT OF WANTED MAN. She Was in Grove Near Vegus Station When She Encountered Him and He Departed Towards St. Charles. A clew that City Marshal Charles Graf of Ferguson believes may solve the Pirie murder mystery was placed in his hands Friday afternoon, and Friday night he de- parted for St. Charles, Mo., where it is be- lieved the assassin is hiding. The information was furnished Marshal Graf by Chief of Detectives Desmond, and all persons concerned in the unraveling of the mystery consider this the strongest clew that has vet been dincovered. Alice Schmidt, the 17-year-old daughter of Otto Bchmidt, who was gormerly master mechanic of the St. Louls Transit Co., but who now lives at Vegus station, one mile north of St. Charles, believes that she met the murderer on the day following that on which the crime was committed. Miss Schmidt visited a neighbor on that day. On her return she passed through a grove. The day was very warm, and she was walking slowly. It was Sunday, and near mid-day. She saw a tall and rovgh-looking man who was seated in the shade, ‘with his back resting against a big oak tree. _In his hand was a revolver which he was intently examining. Though the man was rough looking and was armed, Miss Schmiat was not fright- ened at first, for she was near her home. The man was examining his weapon so closely that, at first, he did not see her. Man Frightened Miss Schmidt. The path that Miss Schmidt was travers- ing lay alongside the place where the man was seated. When he saw her he sprang to his feet, and, uttering an oath, leveled his revolver at her and told her if she made any out- oF he would kill her. he eae apeesy frightened by the demon- stration. She thought at first that she was confronted with a maniac and, as calmly as she could, she told the man to put his revolver away. The fellow mumbled something and low- e the weapon. Then he allowed her to depart, after telling her that if she made any outc or attempted to block his way he would kill her. Miss Schmidt stood still as she saw the Stranger turn and walk rapidly away to- ward St. Charles. But, as he turned often and made warning gestures for her not to follow him, she hurriedly left the scene. When Miss Schmidt reached her home she told her father of her ex ence. He hurried to the grove but man had gone. As the stranger had offered her no vio- lence aside from merely pointing the re- volver at her, no great significance was paid to the incident. Later, when the Post-Dispatch reached Vegus Station and the description of the man suspected of ~g ~! Alexander H. Pi- rie was read, Miss Schmidt recalled the fact that it exactly fitted that of the man she had seen in the grove. He wore the blue overalls, the black coat, and the black slouch hat. As she was in front of him she could not see whether the diamonds in the hatband aa described by Theodore Ruehnpoh! were there. But the man was tall and slender, and he had straight sandy hair and a sandy mustache. She observed also that his teeth were white and even. Mr. Schmidt wrote the information Chief Desmond and Friday it was ven to Marshal Graf. Mr. Graf, with a depu- ty, left Ferguson Friday night in a buggy. Pinkertons Have Another Clew. Pinkerton detectives are working on what they belleve to be a strong clew, and which does not conflict with the theory that the murderer may have been the man who was seen by Miss Schmidt at Vegus Station last Sunday. A day or two after the murder one of the Pinkerton detectives found a rent receipt. It was about 200 yards from the Florissant branch of the Suburban road, and was close to where Mr. Rumsick was waylaid and robbed a few houns before Mr. Pirie was shot to death. This rent receipt was for a room in a cheap hotel tn Van Buren street in Chicago. It showed that the rent had been pald for the week from June 17 to June 24. This re- ceipt was sent to Chicago by J. G. Hoffrian, the St. Louis superintendent ‘of the Pink- erton agency. for Investigation. Saturday morning Mr. Hoffman received to the report on the case from Chicago. An investigation revealed that the room was | occupied by two waiters. One of the wait- ers was located In Chicago.

The escaping murderer was not seen along the route of the Suburban leading into St. Louls. J. Sheppard Smith, a prominent resident of Ferguson, who is the credit man for the Senrdder-Gale Grocer Co. tn St. Louis and who lives in the old Darst mansion, told Mayor Reld that at about 12:39 o'clock on the morning after the mur- der, his dogs were aroused and that they barked furiously.

NEW YORK, July 6.—But one thing has interested..Wall street during the past 24 hours—J. Pierpont Morgan is back again. Yesterday waa meant to be a holiday for the tired street, but Morgan's return drew everybody of importance back to the cen- ter of finance, and it was a lively day after all. Mr. Morgan sat all day at his accustomed window, in full view of the street, with- out either coat or waietcoat, and smokin his usual very black cigar. He smok with savuge energy, and laughed heartily in his basso profundo He was an emperor in a shirt. The first thing he did when he reached hia olce at 1:80 o'clock was to take his coat and w@sit- coat off. His partners and all the heads of departments gatnered around to wel- come him back. said he, good naturedly; “My, my, my,”’ “how glad I am I did not come back a week This is ago if it was as hot as you say. hot enough for me.” Mr. Morgan wore a stiff-bosomed white shirt and white striped suspenders. He soon found the suspenders too warm s'ipped hem down over his shoulders when he got to work. He wore a blue figured Ascot tie, which he had brought from London and which wae fastened by a pear] stickpin. His trousers were of light check ‘Morrison took the sentence calmly and re- material and he wore low-cut patent leath- er shoes and pink and blue hose. It was in this costume that the great man of Wall street received all of his visit- ors. Of the great figures of Wall street who called there during the day to pay re- ——- to Mr. Morgan, J. J. Hill was almost the first to come. “Bring him in,’* said Mr. Morgan, when he was announced. The two shook hands. Mr. Morgan led the way to an inner office —it was one of the two times ae the whole day that he went into this inner office. he two were inside for nearly half an hour. When Mr. Hill came out he looked thougntful. A half dozen conferences were held by Mr. Morgan and his partners during the day. During these the partners gathered about his desk “gy Mr. Morgan gat leaning back in his chair peer yg J and listening. Often Mr. Morgan would break in with a peremptory waive of the hand, a few quick sentences, and then would pass rapidly to something else.

The safety of shoppers and pedestrians will be looked after by a collection of ‘‘the finest,”’ attired in the very latest style, as far as police equipment goes. Of the Broadway copper, paraphrasing an ancient verse, it will soon be said: There is no malice in his mind, .No wrinkle in his sbirt. Furthermore, there will be no dust on his shoes and no marring speck on his new white gloves. He will don a prim, fresh pair every morning and will look like a fresh prima donna. He will be ‘the glass of fashion and the mold of form,” an ex- ample for all gardeens of the peace who aspire to a job on Broadway.

The appearance of the fine-looking body of policeman on ‘dear old Broadway,’’ where ‘it's always bright and sunny,’’ according to the actor song, so captivated the west; ern chieftain that he determined to have some just like them. This accounts for the white-glove-gold-corded-baton order. BELLEVILLE BOOMS IT SATURDAY’S IS WORLD’S FAIR DAY AT THE CARNIVAL. DIRECTORS IN ATTENDANCE C. P.

BURGLAR ————— ~— Touranjou Shot Ed- ward: Larkin in Saloon. INTRUDER RAN FOR HIS LIFE BUT ONE BULLET WENT TRUE TO ITS AIM. Larkin Was Released From Peni- tentiary Four Days Ago, After | Serving a Two Years’ Sen- | tence for Picking Pockets. ‘Four days from the penitentiary to the morgue was the record made by Edward Larkin, alias “Sleepy’’ Rice, who was shot and killed Friday night by Joseph Touran- jou, while in the act of robbing the latter s saloon at 800 South Twelfth street. ‘Larkin chose for his final job a house only a block from the morgue. He fell and died only half that distance away. | — ‘Within an hour from the time of entering the saloon he was a corpse in the city eadhouse. ‘His transition from life and liberty to doom and death was brief, but exciting. ‘The body has been fully identified, through the Bertillon record, as that of Larkin. Not a mark is missing. The man was Bertillonized at the Four Courts less than two years ago, his person showing an unusually large number of cuts and scars. He was arrested Sept. 1, 1899, for picking ckets. His age at that time was 20 years, is height six feet and half an inch, and his weight 170 pounds. Larkin received a sentence of two years in the state penitentiary. His time, allow- ing for good behavior, was up four days ago. Saloon Keeper Touranjou was arrested by Officer Lawton and confined in the hold- over to await the coroner's inquest. The burglary and killing took place at 11:10 o'clock Friday night. Touranjou had closed his saloon about half an hour before and gone to bed. With his wife he lives in rooms at the side of the saloon. A screen door opens from the bedroom into the bar- room just in the rear of the large refriger- ator at the end of the bar. Mr. Touranjou Heard Burglar’s Operations. Mr. and Mrs. Touranjou had fallen asleep. Mrs. Touranjou was awakened by a noise in the saloon. ‘‘Joe,”’ she whispered, ‘‘I believe a burglar in the saloon.”’ Touranjou awoke and listened. The rattling sound continued. The gaslight in the saloon had been turned down by the proprietor and was still burning low. Touranjou took his revolver from under his pillow and crept through the door lead- ing into the saloon. His wife followed close behind. The burglar heard them. He had been behind the bar, seeking for money among the beer checks In the cash drawer. In another drawer he had found a bag con- taining 70 pennies. The beer checks and the pennies had made the noise which awakened Mrs. Touranjou. The burglar walked to the refrigerator, which is at the entrance to the bar, and peered cautiously around the side of it. Touranjou, with his revolver, peered just as cautiously around the refrigerator frum the rear. On both sides there was the stealth of the forest Indian whose fortress is a tree. When Touranjou beheld the head of the burglar, he fired. The bullet missed, going through the inner wali, just above the matchbox, on the end of the bar. The burglar then made a bolt for liberty. Not a word was spoken by either man. The pifol spoke again as the intruder ran for the door. This bullet went through the 7 sy that stood between the bar and the oor. Another bullet was buried in the wood- work of the door. The fleeing man threw up both fists and made a desperate lunge at the plate glass in the door. The glass was shattered. Burglar Was Shot While He Was Escaping. Then the man climbed through the open- ing. As he went through, Touranjou, from the edge of the refrigerator, fired again. his bullet appears to have been the one that hit its mark. After the man had reached the sidewalk and was running diagonally across Twelfth street, Touranjou fired his last cartridge. Officer Lawton heard the shots and went to the saloon on a run. Touranjou hastily explained what had happened. he officer procured a light and examined the sidewalk. There was a trail. It led across the street and along the north side of the Twelftn street viaduct to the rall- road tracks, half a block from the saloon There the officer found a man lying. He was breathing, but he.died in a few min- utes. Near the body was the bag of 70 pennies— the booty for which Edward Larkin paid his life. Mrs. Touranjou went back to bed. Mr. Touranjou was taken to the holdover. Lar- kin's body was conveyed to the convenient Morgue.

He wag 22 years old and was a shoemaker. His sister says he was staying at her house and that he left there at 10 o'clock Friday morning. ASKS FOR A SECOND TRIAL.
