The Two Came to tin- Hotel (irifl'oi! Representing Themselves as Man ami Wlte It is Believed that the Double Crime was the Result of an Agreement Between the Two to Die Together (By the Associated Press.) New York, Oct. 27. Louis G. Hampton, assistant secretary of the limited Slates Trust Company of this city, shot and killed Victorie I. Tacz kow, ii beautiful young woman, in the Hotel Griffon in West Ninth street, late last night, and then committed suicide. Hampton was infatuated with the woman, and they had been seen together many times during the past month. They had been at the hotel where the tragedy occurred since early yesterday. Whether or nol the tragedy was tiio result of a pact between the man and woman to die tog'ether has not been determined, lull the circumstances seem to show that the young woman had agreed to die with her companion. Hampton, who was about sixty years old, leaves a wife and two chil dren. Miss Taczkow was twenty-nine years old and lived with .her father and invalid mother. She was em ployed in a Fifth avenue department store. The United States Trust Company, of which L. G. Hampton was assistant secretary, is one of the largest and strongest .trust, companies in New vtirk. Ex-Seeretaiy Lyman J. Gage was its president until recently, and on his retirement Edward W. Sheldon was elected president and Mr. Hamp ton for some time acted as secretary. Last Chapter of Tragedy. The events leading up to the trag edy have been traced by the police, and according to them the last chan ter in what looks like an illicit ro mance opened on Thursday afternoon last, when Hampton called at the Hotel Griffon and engaged a room. He said he would return late that night or the next morning. "I expect to have my wife with me," he said, as he was about to leave, and then, half hesitating, he said: "Would you like me to register now?" The maid replied that the time to do this was when he arrived at the hotel tovtake the room. Hampton then left the hotel and nothing more was seen of him until Friday, when about 9 o'clock he entered the hotel, accompanied by a woman and going straight up to the hotel office he reg istered as "Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, Burlington, Vt." The Woman Appears. The woman who accompanied him was an unusually handsome brunette. She was fashionably dressed and car ried in her hand a small traveling hitg, The collide look breakfast and then wont to their room. The woman left the hotel several times during the day, but Hampton remained in his room. Soon after she returned from one of these trips a light dinner was sent to their room and a request was sent to the clerk to call them at 11 o'clock last night. "We want to be called at 1 1 o'clock so that we may catch a train," said Hampton. The Curtain Falls. From that tlmo until half-past 10 nothing was heard or seen of the couple, but at that hour a maid was in the corridor outside the room which they occupied, when she heard what she thought was an explosion In the street. She took no partlcu nlr notice of it at the time. At five minutes to 11 she went to the room to call the couple, but when her repeated raps at the door brought no response she reported it at the office. The room was opened and the mystery explained. Identified By Brother. The first positive IdenUflcatton of the victims of the tragedy was made by the dead woman's brother. He had been notified that a young1 woman wearing Jewelry bearing his sister's Initials had been murdered, and went to k police station to look at the article.-, which had been taken there. He at orice recognized a pair of silk garlers with gold buckles as the property ot Ills sister. One of the buckles bore til' letters "V. I. T.," while on the other! was mscrinea u. ,. h. xoung laez- dInn aB ying that a deed of separa kow also told the police that the man tlon between the Duke and Duchess undoubtedly was Louis G. Hampton, j of .Marlborough has been signed on who had been very attentive to ills Sis- the around of fncomnatlbilitv of tem tor for some lime. "Hampton told us that he intended to marry my sister when his mother died." said Taczkow. "I never knew much about him. but he seamed to be honorable in his intentions and appear ed to be very fond of my sister. Vlc- torla was a good girl and never stayed out all the night. We thought wo knew where she was all of tin- time." Louis O. Hampton had a summer home at Highland, in Ulster county, this state, and Mrs. Hampton and he: daughter spent the last summer there Able and Kflicient Man. At the United States Trust- Company il was said today that Hampton was at the office of the company on Thursday attending to his duties. On Friday he telephoned that he was indisposed bull'"g ina. lue aeeq oi separation ue would be at the office today. An officer tween the duke and duchess has been of the company said that Mr. Hamp-1 signed. Both the duke and duchess ton's duties were secretarial only and have been invited to confirm or deny that he had nothing to do with the com pany's finances. It is believed, the offi cer said, that his books were correctly kept. Mr. Hampton had been employed by the trust company for five years, and was a protege of former President John A. Stewart, now chairman of the board of directors. He was regarded at the office of the company as an able and efficient man and of gopd habits, ComoTlCatlons In Case." New complications in the case arose when an examination of Miss Taczkow's bank book disclosed the fact that she drew $300 from the savings bank yesterday. Only a small amount of money was found on her body. In Hampton's pockets the po lice found $49. The relatives of both families have demanded" a rigid investigation as to where the balance of the $300 drawn by Miss Taczkow has gone to, as they hold it impossible for her to have spent, that amount of money in one day wilh nothing to show for it. . HMD BATTLE At the game at end of the first half in the Blchmond this afternoon be tween the University or worm i;aro llna and the V. P. I. the score stood 0 to 0. Both teams fought hard, but failed to gain a point. The final score was 0 to 0. PICQUART ABOVE PETTY REVENGE. (By the Associated Press.) Paris, Oct. 27. The attitude of Gen eral Plcquart, the defender tff Dreyfus and now minister of war, towards bis old persecutors in the army was de fined yesterday when an officer who was involved in the conspiracy prac tically to banish Plcquart to the border of the Sahara, entered the minister's office and began to stammer out a statement on the subject. Plcquart stopped htm, saying: 'I know only one thing, and that is that you have always been aji excel lent Officer. You may be sure that I shall not forget that." PULPITS NEED A THOUSAND MEN. (By the Associated Press.) Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 27. One thou sand ministers are needed to equip the vacant charges and new missions of the Lutheran Church throughout the country. This conclusion was re ported at a conference of officers of the home mission board and minis ters of Pittsburg synod, now in ses sion here. The facts developed that from fifty to eighty men could be used at once In New England states where new missions have been or ganized rapidly. AT RICHMOND MARLBOROUGH AND WIFE PARI Med to Confirm or Deny Both Are Mote LITHE SURPRISE FELT! Friction Between the British Peer and His American Wife Became Greater With Her Inrreasins Deafness The Duke Too Komi of a Voting Friend of His Wife. (Bv the Associated 1 rear.) London, Oct 27. The afternoon pa pers here quote the Manchester tinar- per, by the provisions of which the DucheSS keeps Sunderland House. Lon don , and her own dowry, but is pie eluded from going to Blenheim, The document it is added was signed Oct ober 23. .'lie Duke is now at Blenheim anu the Duchess is staying at Sunderland Horse. Although the principals concerned maintain absolute silence and de cline to furnish any information, ail indications tend to corroboration Of the stories that a climax has baaji reached in the domestic affairs; ;:' the ducal house of Marlborough. Both the Loudon and provincial pa pers give circumstantial details, say- the report, but they are both mute, the duchess sending word thai she has nothing to say on the subjaC of the reports, while the duke, thus far, has not. answered the telegrams addressed to him at Blenheim where he is at present rusticating in com pany witli Winston Spencer Church Ill and ol her relatives The Duchess in Seclusion. The neonle on the Blenheim Cas- ,.,. frppIv rti!i,,ssie the. affairs, and it appears to be the gen eral understanding that the magnifi cent palace will be closed, as the duke will find difficulty in keeping it up. It is said he will take up his residence at Woodstock House, a small place on the estate. The duchess remains in close seclusion at Sunderland House, on Curzon street this city. Her father, W. K. Vanderbilt, was with her until three days ago when he le.t London either for Paris or New York. The reports of the separation of the duke and duchess hardly come as a surprise. Rumors of their dis agreements have been circulating for several years and recently be came more positive and despite the desperate efforts of friends of the family to keep their differences from the public, gossip has been busy. There are unconfirmed re ports that as late as last week final efforts were made by Mr. Vander bilt for a reconciliation for the sake of the children. A Slighted Wife. People intimately acquainted with the Marlborough household intimate that the friction Eiecame more acute owing to the slighting, unsympa thetic attitude of the duke since the duchess' deafness became more pro nounced. According to Reynolds' Newspa per, the duke in the opinion of the duchess, paid greater attention than necessary to a young girl friend of his wife. The duchess, has the warmest sympathy of every one in London conversant with the situation. THE MUTINEERS ARE RESPITED (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Oct. 27. The presi dent has granted a respite until De cember 15 to the two negroes Arthur Adams and Robert Sawyer, now un der sentence or death at Wilming ton, N. U., for mutiny and murder on the high seas. They were mem bers of the crew of the schooner Harry A. Berwind and were convict ed of participation in the murder of the captain and others on that ves sel.

He has said that while he expects 2.r0n he w ill be satisfied with half that number. He thinks 1.2W would be a good majority. Hackett on I the other hand confidently expects to win but is certain that he will not have a great majority because the district; isn't built for it il" everybody comes out. It is close at best and only by the: greatest stay-at-home vote, or the most' savage cutting of tickets will there be a creat difference in the majority of 1905 and 1906. Mr. Hackett with nor mal conditions would win undoubtedly. Just what disaffection there Is, can not be told. There seems to be no fac tional opposition to Hackett and there j is to Blackburn. For once, one can put his hands upon republicans who swear! positively that .they will not vote for Blackburn. There are others who1 swear as vehemently but do not sayj much about the votine. Tt is fairly safe to say Blackburn will not be scratched generally, and both men ap pear to have practically their party strength. What is that strength? in Rowan and Stanly. In Rowan, the largest democratic county of the slate, the republican hope of making any increase has been aban doned. It appeared for a time that Blackburn was to be gainer by the acute paroxysm of crime and incidental lawlessness here as manifested In thej lynching. He expected tt and is known! to have proclaimed that he would re-j eeive the lynching vote. Today there is every indication from the tax books that the democrats have more na1d j polls In proportion to the number of voters and that the county is in every way better off than it was two years ago. Chairman Yanderford of the con gressional committee is certain of 1.500. Ex-Lieutenant Governor W. D. Tumor of Iredell was here yesterday and says the democratic majority In his county will not be less than 700 and may go to SdO. Stanly is in infinitely better shape if the woik of redeeming that county which went Republican two years ago by default, counts for anything this time.
