Philadelphia Man Aven^d His
Wife With a r is til.
B?acfcaii^l3s (kbeir by means of
photograph* ot ( ^rUi r.nd blmself in
too friendly latitudes which he took
with a concert led ctuuern led to the
dwKii of Harry Peiree at the hands of
an oatragcd husband. Andrew Jack
son Detach. Jr., of 1S40 North Twenty
second st.-*et, Philadelphia, according
to tha Qaaker City police.
Surtllng facts lii the case were
broaght to lijcbt by the police and the
coroner's office. The police declare
that Kerree had blackmailed the beau
tiful Mr*. Detsch, who was only twen
ty. until It was Impossible for her to
naiQ FIVE SHOTS THROUGH THE DOOR.
comply with his demands for money
and she coufesred to her husband.
The police so even further. They de
clnre Pant the shooting of Forroe by
Det 'j was the result of a deliberate
plot t>" hi" bauil nnd wife to entice the
uwu to the Detsch hoaie. pretend to
mistake him for a burglar and kill him,
thus ending hi* persecution* for all
time.
Mrs. Dotsch persists that she mad* a
i full confession to her husband oil her
! friendship with Ferrey. . D^uch, who
is the son of a wealthy man and him
self prominent In business, denies this
and declares that when be shot Fer
ree he really believed him to be n bur
glar. He Insists that he never doubt
ed his wife, and when told that she
had said she confessed to him he de
clared she must be hysterical nnd did
not know what she was saying. Mrs.
Detsch Is in a pitiable state, while her
husband sits In his cell at the city
hall, only opening his Hps to give the
lie to any one who mentions his wife's
alleged confession.
The Detsches' room is on the second
floor of the Twenty-second street house,
and Ferree had a room on the second
floor. According to the jtollce, Mrs.
I*etsch sent word to Ferree on the
fatal night that her husband was not at
home. Detsch. who had bought an au
tomatic revolver, awaited the coming
of Ferree. Just as the latter placed
his hand on the door of the Detsch
room the husband tired five shots
through the door. When the jKtllce ar
rived the body, dressed In shirt, trous
ers and socks, lay on the floor jnst out
side the door.
A search of Ferree's room revealed a
large number of photographs of him
self and different women, among them
one of Ferree and Mrs. Detsch. Mrs.
Detsch denies that she posed for this
picture, and the police think It may
have been a trick. Ferree was a very
clever amateur photographer, and it
would have been possible for him to
have posed another woman for the pic
ture and then to have substituted a
head of Mrs. Detsch.
In the room were also more than 100 '
letters written by Mrs. Detsch. She j
confessed that she wrote these, but '
said Ferree forced her to write them j
by threatening to show the photo
graph to her husband.
One letter, dated Aug. 20, 1906, reads:
Tuesday. '
Dear Hallle? Wrote you a letter Satur
day. but same old story, didn't have time
to mall It. Well, dearie. It won't
much longer before you can see me again,
aa I am coming home the flrat week la

Un. Detach told the police that her
huaband becams suspicious of her and
(jD??tloB9<3 her. That, she says, was
tcben sha coaff?J?<l,.on Mocdoy. Nov 4.
"I told hi c that I TO3 rJrnid Perft*
would kill me, and he bought a re
volver for my protection On that
mwful, horrible night we heard a
nan's footstep outside our door after!
midnight. My husband took the re- f
volm and stood by the door. When j
the man outside tried to open the door
my husband fined through the panel
fire times. Then we opened the door
tnd found that he had killed Ferrte."

. WOMAN WORSHIPS FIRE.
Hsr Idolatry Mads Her Happy, Though
It Drove Daughters Away.
"For nearly six years 1 have been a
worshiper of fire, the poorest and clean
est element on earth," said Mrs. Au
gusta Maler of New York city.
"I have been burning on my table
in my room two flames which repre
sent to me all the iQre in the world
These dames supply me with an altar.
Through my belief In the worship of
fire 1 haye been made a happier wo
man, aud. although I love my daugh
ters. I cannot bring myself to recede
from religion to retain their love."
Because thefr mother refused to aban
dou the practice of fire worship at
their request her daughters. Helen and
Bessie, have abandoned their idolatrous
parent and taken tip a new abode.
Mrs. Maler remains in the old apart
ment. Two lamps, which Mrs. Maler
has kept burning for six years as part
of her ritual of ill re worship, were burn
lug brightly.
Mrs. Maler, who is a botanist, au
thor of several themes on mathematics
and at one time was governess In" a
family of distinction, declared she
would never give up her belief In tire
worship or her practice of Its rites.
"Not only are the two burning lamps
a menace to the safety of those who
live in the same building with mother,"
said one of the daughters, "but we ob
ject to that part of the ritual of her re
IIrIou which makes It necessary for
her to arise each morning before dawn
and to greet the coming of day with
a hymn which she Intones at the top
of her voice."

Ptoallns a ride. would have been lost.
The train was lumbering along the
rainshat-klc rails Just as Naeo was
reached. and a brakeioan called to
Cavoia that t ho roof of one of the cars
loaded with powder was afire. By the

Oarcla stuck to hla post, throwing
the throttle wide open. A curl of]
smoke and tile am ell of the burning car
top made n wnke through the town.
Hanging to the last car was the boy
Chlsholm. The rattle and bang of the
train as It gathered speed prevented
him hearing the cries of fright and
warning. Oarcla was Intent only on
saving the town from complete destruc
tion.
Ahead of him was n big section
house In which were a score or more
of Mexican miners. Garcia, himself
a Mexican, hoped to get the train clear
of that as well as of the town and then
Jump for his own life at the last rain
ute as the open was reached.
The Mexicans In the section house
heard the whistle of Garcla's engine
sounding long and shrill and flocked tc
the rails to watch It pass.
Then the explosion came.
The frlghtenod people of Naco stuff- 1
ed their fingers In their ears, but
the concussion threw them to the
ground, smashed every window in 1
town, and when they looked toward i
the section house up the road they
beheld merely a dark cloud of smoke.
Garcia, the boy stealing a ride, the
Mexicans, the sectlou house and even
the rails of the road bad disappeared, i
Naco was safe, and Its saving 1
from annihilation was due to Garcla's
willingness to face and accept a death
as swift and as terrible as any hero
had ever faced. Not a trace of Garcia i
could be found after the explosion.
