Identifying; Victim of Sulctd
Prof. W. A. Young of Central university
at Pella, Ia., has written Chief of Police
Richmond, expressing his belief that Oliver
Hamilton, the stranger who committed sui
cide here by taking strychnine, was prob
ably A. D. Cox, a former profeakor at the
Pella Institution, who left there January
12 last and had not been heard from since.
Professor Young enclosed a photograph of
Cox, which In many respects resembles
the suicide victim.
Cox's mother. Professor Young says, lives
at Hapscot, Nova Scotia. When Cox left
the university he was despondent over a
love affair. While at the university Cox
told Prof. Young that he had been
a trained nurse and Intended to take up
the study of medicine. Prof. Young
stated, however, that Cox had never been
known to be addicted to the use of mor
phine or any other drug. The suicide victim
was a morphine fiend and marks on his
arms Indicated that he had been injecting
the drug for a long time.
Chief Richmond, while admitting that the
photograph of Cox resembles greatly the
dead man, had doubts they are one and
the same person. Major Richmond Is now
communicating with two doctors In St.
Louis, whom Hamilton, while at St. Ber
nard's hospital, told Dr. Barstow he had
worked for.

NO "ARCADE" XIN THE WEST END
Chief of Police Richmond "ays It Will
Not Bo Permitted.
"This talk of Martin moving his 'cribs'
to this side of tho river, or, In fact, any of
the houses of 111 fame from the proscribed
district being transferred to this side of
the river when the district Is closed In
Omaha Is sheer nonsense," said Chief of
Police Richmond yesterday. This state
ment from Chief of Police Richmond was
prompted by the appointment of a com
mute by the West Council Bluffs Improve'
ment club Tuesday to take steps to prevent
the removal of any of the houses from the
Omaha Burnt district to this side of the
river.
T. C. Kern and W. O. Hlnton, property
owners Jn the western part of the city, re
ported to the club that they had reliable
Information to the effect that Martin had
Inveated $8,000 In property along North
Thirty-seventh street on which he proposed
to erect another "Arcade."
Chief Richmond, In commenting on the
fears of the westenders, which he declared
were utterly groundless, said: "It has al
ways been the policy of the police depart
ment to bar all such places from the resi
dence districts of this city and this will be
the policy so long as I am at the head of
the department. The people of the west
end may, rest assured that no bouses of
such character will be permitted In their
neighborhood." -
