THIS ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
Sr. Louis , April 14. A sensation was
lused at the Southern hotel this morning by
ndicg in a loom a trunk containing the
icadlcss body of a man with n note within
lie trunk sayinpr. "So porl&h all traitors to
ho great cause. The room was assigned
torch 30 to Walter II , Lennox Maxwell , M.
1) . , London , Eng ,
Maxwell is dotcrlbed as a very girlish looTc-
ng blonde young man , wearing n dark wooly
ut-away suit of English stuff , face clean
Imven , and wore his hair banned , not parting
; at all , was frequently soon with a dark look-
ng gentleman about five feet ten inches tall ,
'ho lattorworo a dark moustache and bed
ark hair. This gentleman registered as "O
Irthur 1'roller , " London , England , and was
ssignod room 184. Four dnys after Maxwell
tad registered , a telegram received Irom
rollur asking whether Maxwell was a guest
f tbe house was answered in the affirmative
nd ho soon came on and was assigned to the
oem given , Both men occnpiod room 181 in
ommon a considerable put of the time ,
Sach called for the key and the clerk gave It
o each indiscriminately as they seamed to be
oed friends and intimate acquaintances ,
'ho men were much remarked about the
otel for their dudish appearance and dandy-
ed airs. M < x\vell loft the hotel a week ago
unday night but had paid a full week's
srd promptly and it was supposed he would
return any day. No suspicion was attached
o his absence until a horrible smell called
ttontion to the room and led to the opening
f tb.9 trunk. When the trunk containing the
ody was opened , it was found to contain the
ody of a middle-aged man , face and breast
p and the body BO doubled about the
ips and knees that it filled the
sceptaclo. One side of the trunk , over
ip head of the corpse was
rinted in large letters the words ,
So perish all traitors tothogreat cause. " The
runk and ghastly contents were immediately
urried to the four courts , The body as it
ppaarodin the trunk presented a horrible as-
ect. The face and parts of the body bei.ig
ncovered , the oply garment being a pair of
rawers reaching just to the knee , which were
ntiroly black and showed advanced decom-
ositlon.
1'roUer'c trunks are of much better quality
ion Maxwell's , "being made of fine leather.
* he personal effects in them indicate that the
wncr was a gentleman of means and culture.
" 'he trunks have on them labels of the Canard
teainshlp company , and Continental , hotel ,
Philadelphia , where he occupied room 180.
larch -u. lie had also been at the floasiu
ouse , Toronto. The following Is a descrip-
ion of Maxwell , given by the person who
aw and conversed with him daily while he
was at the Southern hotel : ' 'lie was about
fcet'Ji inches in hslght. weighed about 1-10
ounas , well proportioned , and of rather
oed figure. His face was of the
English type and cleanly shaven ; eyes light
due I think , or at least they wera not dark
n color ; hair of light sandy color ; wore it cut
ery short behind and rather bushy in front ,
without any part , and banged like & girls :
enerally dressed in a brown twcoj suit of
Cagliah cut and Newmarket overcoat and
lien derby bat. In his manners he was
ifeimnato and be oven carried this go far ate
walk with a short , mincing step , llkea woman.
'his afternoon the body of Trailer was exposed
n a slab for further identification , with the
allowing description given by Superintendent
tyan : .Deceased was about 5 feet 9 inches in
leight , weighing about 170 pounds ; black
ialr , eyes of brown color ; wore white
tnic drawers ; no othdr clothing came
with the body ; was about 22
or 23 years old. Tha body was very much
decomposed , and has been dead ten or twelve
days , the tongue protruding and larga blisters
ou both legs. Across ia cut into the flesh on
, he breast.
The following telegram , found among the
papers of Preller is the best clew to the rela-
, ions of Preller and Maxwell :
Boston , Mass. , March 10 , 1835. Caprollo
at Belvidere hotel , corner I'ourth nvunie and
Tenth street. Yes , could go direct to Auck-
and from here. Will write Philadelphia
to-morrow. [ Signed ] W. II. LENNOX.
From a letter Irom the steamship company
It Is inferred that Preller sailed from England
to this country on the Cephalonia January
21st , 1835 , on a commercial tour of this coun
try and Australia. The telegram given above
would indicate that Maxwell agreed to accom
pany him to Australia. Among the letters
found in Preller'g trunk was the following :

It lifts ntno been learned that on Monday

to wore reduced to n moustache and Imperial ,
and on the ratno day ho purchased a snull
colored felt hat , slouch , with a croose crown ,
narked on the inside "Herald Harland luff. ) "
'uttliiR these things together , It is boliovetl
by those who have studied the casoiuost
fosely that Maxwell chloroformed and killed
'roller on Sunday , April fi , nnd
t is known ho has not been seen In the city
inco Monday. Sotno detectives wore at first
ncllned to believe the body bad benu placed
n the trunk by some medical student with n
lew of playing n ghastly juke upon the com
munity , but thist theory is now aban-
oncd by all. Chief of detectives Burke
aid to a reporter : "It is a foul mur-
er and nothing less. Tbe man in the trunk
vas killed in the room , the marks of his
lood arc there yot. Hero is the trunk strap
pith blood on it. The idea It could bo a hoax
i absolutely absurd. What do you think of
ho placard In the trunk : "So perish all
raitora to the great cause. " That may or
may not bo a clew , it tray bo a dollberatu
ttempt t make us bollovo the murder was a
mlitical assassination while it is murder for
nonny. Of course all that can bo done to
an the criminal down will bo done , surely
lie man must not escape. Everything that
an bo doao will bo done to capture him. The
mblio may depend ou that. Maxwell's Lon-
on address appears to have been No , 14

lis trunk was found tin envelope addressed
n his handwriting to Rev. D. G. A. Lewie ,
I. A. , curate of St. Paul' * , Morley , Leeds ,

'his is believed to make the theory of a hoax
ntenable , nnd the belief is that the corpse Is
ithor that of Maxwell or Prellor. No one

hi&f Detective Burke , after making an ox-
mlnatlon of the rooms at the Southern hotel ,
tys bo thinks the dead man is Caprello. who
rrived at the hotel on the 3d. and that ho
vas killed by Maxwell , who registered on the
1st of March. The murder took place
n Maxwell's room No. 1-14. and the trunk in

od hoi circus in the house this morning over
IB report of West's special commltttto to in-
ostigate Speaker H.ilnea' enormous pay rolls
I house employees. The report was extreme
y long and the house analyzed the pay rolls
xhaustivoly , comparing them in detail with
10 pay rolls of the thirty-third general as-
embly. It showed that in eighty days
taines' employees have been paid within
3COO of the amount paid tor the whole flea-
on two years aio of 167 days. It states
mt Haines has la'goly exceeded his authority
n the appointment of employes especially in
egard to the janitors. Ho was authorized to
mploy 44 and had appointed 85 for tbe "tern-
orary" organization. Uaineshad " 5 boys as
ages at a cost of § 2,335 , ten policemen cost-
ng $1,197 and twenty-four janitors at anci
ent of ? ! )3S ) , total 54-Kij which , the commit-
eo said , was $3,203 in excess of the amount
oally necessary , $3,948 in excess of the
mount actually expended by the thirty-third
eneral assembly. The committee consider
mt ten pages , four policemen and ten janl-
ors are sufficient for tbe bureaus of the house
nd all that can be legally appointed , and rec-
mmends the discharge of fifteen pages , six
olicemen , eixty janitors , two clerks , one
uperintendontof ventilation , two proof read-
is and eleven committee clerks ,
otal ninety-one. They r < commend

ho floor and scathingly reviewed the.circum
tanccs of tbo appointment , charging the ox

or p aces forjtheir friends. _ He held up Dell ,
democrat , chairman of the invcstifikting com-
nitteo in particular , and said Delllmd asked

Crofts and Klmbrough made motions in
tended to smother the report by
Its reference to tbo committee and otherwisi
which were not adopted , and the joint enisloi
intervened. After the joint eeeMon , Crafts
withdrew his motion for reference of the re

The Illinois Legislature ,
SrniNuriKLi ) , Illinpis , April 1-1,1885. Up
on tbe homo being called to order there Vas a
pretty full attendance. No business of Im
portance , There was a report of the special
committee on employei of tha house and It
proved an interesting document to them ,
at least the report showed that the
cost of the bouse and secretary of ttato'a
office so far this session had been $32,434.50 ,
\rhicUtber considered was far in ex cess of
what was necessary.
That the rnumbera employed more help
than wn < needed to carry on the businw of
the ItnifUture. The report contended that
Speaker Halnec hud only boon delegated the
power to employ twenty-fivo janitor * , but In-
Btod , ho bait employed oightj-five , and BO in
proportion with other olliccrs. The report
recommended swtci Dg reduction * all round.
Speaker Hainrs made a defense of his ac
tion , and criticized tbo report and also ridi
culed Dill , chairman , who , he claimed , had
got five penoni on the pat roll. Dill replied ,
defending his action and indulged In a good
do l of personal abuse. Before the report
wi s disposed of tha senate wan announced.
In the senate this morning the uossion was
taken up in dUcuutag the primary election
bill , In joint convention senators and 133
representatives were prosnnt Only ouo vote
was cast , which was for J. C. Black.
In joint session , the discussion on the re
port of the select committee was continued.
A Mibstituto to the report was offered by
McDonald , providing that fifteen janitois ,
ten pages and four policemen bs rtigared and
the balnnc" bo discharged after the loth ind.
This eauied more diicusslon , where as Iatncs
was about to reply , tbo previous question was
polled before the veto was taken. A motinn
to adjourn waa put ayes , 4Gj nays , 81 , the
republicans voting almost solidly for it. The
demociat" tried to break the quorum but
failed. Then on verification they voted no-
many of them. Yeas , 84 ; naya , 40. The
question is now being discussed a to whether
it requires a two-thirds vote of the houso.
.Still in session at 2:45 : p. m.
SrniNcH'lKLD , 111 , , April ll. The house
continued in session until about U _ 9 clock ,
tha time balng taken up by acrimonious debate -
bate and dllltary motions. On the decision
Crofts ( democrat ) who was In he chair in re
gard to a two-thirds vote being required to
adopt thn reports of the special c"inmittco
relative to the employes of the house , an np-
pool was sustained by the house by voto. It
stood 45 for to 80 against. This brought the
original question back to tbo house. The
choir then acting of course under Hainfs in
structions ruled that the clause with reference
to the committee on clerks and janitors ,
would require a two-thirds vote unless ono
days notice had been given. The report was
then adopted , with thu exception of that part
iiaving a bearing upon those employes.
Hpoaker Haiues all through the debate on
this question has made this a perform ! matter ,
and its adoption was a simple defeat for him.
It was reported currrut'y ' through the
house that ho naU If the report was
adopted he would lay It to the
democratic party , and nothing would bo left
for him bnt to resign. But the latest Intelli
gence on this subject fails t show that ho
has taken this step. These who pretend tu
know Speaker llainoa best claim that bo bas
no intention whatever of resigning.
Davis , the newly elected senator from the
Thirty-seventh district , arrived in tbo city
this morning , but as his credentials had not
been received ho was not sworn in.
