Asserts That Kc Has a Powerful Pro

Will Shield Uim Statsment Causes
Evident Uneasiness.
London, March 17. John Flower,
chairman of the shareholders com
mittee which instigated the prosecu
tion 6f Whitaker Wright, the director
of the London and Globe finance cor
poration, who was arrested yesterday
on his arrival at New York from
Trance, says:
"I see Wright i3 quoted as saying
he had a powerful piotectcr in an ex
alted' quarter. Thl3 statement is
not new to us. ' It is the keynote ol
the whole case. -Prior to the failure
of the London and Globe certain per
sons maintain Wright had in hi3 pos
session letters ifbm leading members
Of the English royal ftftnily showing

rreof of this. Wright ' himself is
probably the only man in the world
v.-ho could prove it. If he. has such
letters .they ought now to be in the
possession of the New York police aa
we suppose they searched his effects
and Wright is. not likely to 1st such a
powerful weapon of defense out of his
pernnal hoping. Within a few. weeks
the chief irpxte in the Wilght case will
be the question of the complicity or
otherwise of the most exalted person-agog-
In the empire in Wright's finan
cial ani other schemes. We do not
anticipate any difficulty in obtaining
his extradition, but if what Wright's
friends maintain turns out to be true,
hia genuine prosecution' will become
an extremely delicate matter. We
believe, however, that the -lawyers at
prerent engaged will sift the matter to
th3 bctlom, regardless of any consid

Irons 9 of corarnors this afternoon said
the crown would pay the cost of the
extradition of W.Ight and the pay

would be left in the hands of the offi

Six Persons Murdered In Arizona Stage
Coach. '
Ix)s Angeles, Cal., March 13. A dls
pat6h tiom Tucson," Ariz., to The Her
ald, says:
"Mexican bandits held up the stage
which runs between Potam and Toiin,
on the Yaqui river, in Sonora, cn last
Tuesday night, killing all of. the six
passengers. Among them was Fill
berto Alvarado," a wealthy Mexican,
who owns -a number of ranches along
the Yaqui river.
The authorities at Guayamas were
at once notified.
Alvarado and his wife had taken the
stage from Potam to Torin and the
men no doubt thought they carried a
large sum of money with them. The
stage carried very - little mail, and
scarcely suiy money ox valuables. The
hold-up took place afcout half-way be
tween the two towns. Just how the
stage was atteked will . never be
known, as all the passengers and driv
er were killed
They were picked up the same af
ternoon of the tragedy and the circum
stances give evidence that they put up
a fight, alse they would not have been
killb J. Their bodies vere' rifled of
everything of valu3 cn them. The
traces had been.cut and the horses had
been allowed to lun wild.' The cover
and body of the stage were shot full
cf holes.
It is thought by the Guayama3 au
thorities that the perpetrators were
some cf the bandits who have taken
refuge in the mountains back of the
Yaqui river and were watching for Al
varedo. Friends of the murdered
rancher say that he had little money
with him at the time.
Alvaredp had been marifcrd only two
months. With him were Senorita
Julia Berido and Senorita C. H. Gon
zales, both of prominent families in
tITat country, and bc'th of whom were
murdered.
Found
In-Berth of Pullman Sleeper
With Her Throat Cut.
CfcarJeston, S. C, March 13 Tetano
Jesado, apparently a Spanish- woman
of culture, cut herthrcat this morning
In her berth on a Pullman car just be
fore entering the Charleston yards.
The woman took passage at Jersey
City and is believed to have lived at
that place.- She had a berth engaged
for Charleston, on the coach which is
switched off the through train at this
point.
She had money and considerable
baggage, and nothing unusual was not
ed about her, except herioreign ap
pearance and name. She was about
30 years old. This morning when
the train arrived at Ashley Junction
the Charleston coach was switched in
to the city. Just before entering the
yard, the pc:ter went to the various
berths to awaken the passengers and
when he reached the berth occupied
by the Spanish .woman he found it
soaked with blood and the woman ly
ing within, her throat horribly gash
ed and bleeding fearfully. She was
unconscious.
Immediately upon reaching the city
she was taken to the hospital, where
she is new being worked over by the
physicians. They ssy there is little
chance to save her life.
It is not known just who she is be
yond her name, which was marked on
some of her possessions, but efforts are
being made to locate and communicate
with some of her relatives and friends.
