something definite of his wife's parentage.
Bhe had married In New Tork, a Dr. Cas
well, or Crowell, believed to be from Boa
ton, before becoming of age. The marriage
was annulled and as Mies Thompson again,
th girl wan engaged to Harry Adams,
of Mount Vtrnon. N. T. Meeting Mr.
Wondlll about this time she married him
lnHtead. The girl's foster brother is said
to have committed suicide because of love
for :her.
, Eastman Wall Street Man.
Kant man, according to the information,
received here failed In New York last year,
wan arrested twice In Chicago last August
for grand laroHny and since that time has
been a fugitive from Justice.
"Wall street never witnessed a more com
plete run than I,'' Earn men quoted as say
ing in New York,'
Eastman's f.. Identity, was . established
through a deed found in his posKession,
conveying certain property In Bogota, Ber
gen county, N. J., which he is known to
have held.
The police had hoped that something of
Kaufman's Ufa and of his relations may be
learned through Miss Kradcome, to whom
the letter found In his pocsesalon was ad-
drrssed. Believing that hli death ends the
Incident. thf- probably will consign the
body to a plac-? in the rotters Field, up
ices Mis nn.'.come Is definitely heard
f re tit.
The theory that the tragedy occurred in
a launch as worked "upon diligently by the
authorities today, but they could find noth
ing tanglblo to support It.
Eastman's Story Discredited.
No such party as that described by East
man In his letter aa seen upon any of the
creeks or rivers. A note telling of friends
that were to visit his place for a look at
the bungalow the night of the 16th gave
color to the Idea for a time, but no other
persons than Eastman and Mrs. Woodill
were seen in the vicinity at the time the
crime is declared to have been com
mitted. Reference in a letter to "the girl's being
at Annapolis" together with the fact that
a launch party lef: F.apton several days
ago for Annapolis, also promised a clue,
but the launch party remained at Anna
polls until today, and the identity of its
members is said to have been cleared up
to the satisfaction of tho authorities. Up
to a late hour tonight, however, the au
thorities would no divulge the text of East
man's letter and the report persisted that
new light might yet be thrown upon the
tragedy.
Eastman Acted Coolly.
Eastman watched the development of the
murder ' charges against himself, with a
smile oa his face. All day, of the morning
of the Monday after the or I me, he sat In
the' telegraph office at McDanlel. In the
afternoon he went to Baltimore to mall
the letter which Mlsn Carrie Thompson re
ceived on Wednesday mcrrlng and which
would have delayed the search for seme
days If the bod had not been discovered.
He returned on Tccsday night. Sitting In
the office on Wednesday afternoon, he
heard Oeorge B. Taylor receive a telephone
message announcing the finding of the
body.
"My God!" he exclaimed Jumping to his
feet, "you don't mean to say a woman
has been murdered here? Who is sheT"
He dropped back to his chair when told
she was unknown. After a few minutes he
said: "Get me a team, Mr. Taylor; I will
go over to St. Michaels to get a story
about this murder, and then take It to
Baltimore."
Eastman had claimed to be a newspaper
l man. Beaching St.' Michaels he watched

the proceedings, and did not leave until
the body had been idehtlfed.
Returning to McDanlel he ordered a
ticket for Baltimore. In the meantime the
constable called over the telephone to In
quire for him, saying he was a stranger
and might know something. Eastman then
said:
"Oh, If there is any suspicion about me I
will remain. I never saw this woman."
Letter Mailed by Mnrderer.
The letter mailed by Eastman at Balti
more and received here by Miss Carrie
Thompson, a foster sister of the murdered
girl. Is one of the incidents which seem
to connect Eastman moat cloBely with the
crime. This letter was written by Mrs.
Woodill, and was mailed several days
after her death. Whether it was written
by Mrs. Woodill to shield her visit to
Eastman's bungalow, or whether the man
had some evil Intent in mind and caused
her to write the letter to delay a search
for her body, may never be known. The
letter was Intended to give the Impression
that Mrs. Woodill was in Baltimore.
The letter follows:
Dear girl: A line only to say I am well
and safely landed. Stayed wltlT Little May
Bartlett in Easton. You remember her and
her aunt. Mrs. Emory. We had a fine
time talking over old days. Dr. Smlthers
fixed me up temporarily. v I have an en
gagement with him for next week. I'll
get all fixed up in Baltimore and then if
there Is any traveling to be done we will
decamp together. By the way, would yoir
like to come up now? Just say the word
if you want to. My face Is good In Balti
more. Expecting a check from Gilbert
any day to make good. Don't know how
many days I'll stay in town, but you know
where to find me. Write and tell me all
the news. I may stay until Thursday to i
go with Edith H. to see the factory girls;
am not sure. You know how It Is in Balti
more. I don't know where to go first or
what to do to keen step with the rush.
Better forward matt which you have for
me. Let me know If there are any little
commissions to be attended to in town.
As always, your baby sister, EDITH.
Colonel Thompson and Miss Carrie Thomp
son, both declared today that the letter
was In the handwriting of Mrs. Woodill.
They could offer no explanation as to why
she should have written a letter in advance
of a trip to Baltimore.
Grief of Foster Father.
One of the most pitiable figures in all of
the lamentable tragedy Is Colonel Charles
H. Thompson, of McDanlel, the foster
father of the murdered girl. Sitting on the
porch of his home ove: looking the waters
of Hirris creek where Eastman had ended
his life In the early hours of the dawn, the
broken old man told the story of the man's
life so far as he could tecall the details.
He had followed the girl's body to its last
resting place yesterday, beside the graves
of his wife and son.
The girl was devoted to her foster mother
and If she could have chosen her burying
place It undoubtedly woull have been at
the side of this dear friend. To the foster
brother, lying In the grave next to hers'
the girl had been I he Ideal of all that was
good and sweet and pure. The splendid
young fellow had grown up with her and
learned t) love her and it is said that he
desired her to become his wife. Hhe would
not. He killed himself. 1 hroughout the
neighborhood it Is common talk that young
Thompson's suicide was due to his failure
to win his foster sister's love.
"As for the man who slew her," 'said
Colonel Thompson, who from the first held
the theory that the murder had been com-
j mltted by Eastman, or Roberts, as he was
known here, "she knew nothing about him
until she came here to spend the summer
with me. I have heard people say she
knew Eastman before she came her. I am
i posltlvly persuaded that she did not. Their
', first meeting was here. Why he should
kill her I i-annhf Imagine. '
"Tbe horror . of the thing almost drives
me mad. My child Is gone, torn from mi
without a warning, brutally massacred in
the shadow of her father's home, and I
not able to raise a hand to ward off the
damnable blow of the wretched assassin."
The old man cried bitterly. As the Btory
of Eastman's suicide was told to him,
Colonel Thompson said:
"It Is over. It is settled. I am glad It
ended this way, and that there was no
trial."
Husband In Doctor's Care.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 25. Gilbert
Woodill, husband of the murdered woman,
today received the following dispatch from
Colonel Charles H. Thompson of Mc
Danlel, Md., foster father of WoodlU's
murdered wife:
"We burled Edith In the family lot.
Murderer was Bhot yesterday. Am writ
ing fully."
Mr. Woodill remains under the care of a
physician, and his relatives are endeavor
ing to induce him not to go to Maryland.
There seem to be no one In this city
who knows anything of the early life of
Edith May Thompson Woodill. Woodill
said his wife via in as great Ignorance
of her early history as anyone.
Meets Gaa-e Throua-h MeKlnley.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., June 25.-When told
of the.dlBpatches from Baltimore In refer
enca to the Woodill affair, ex-Secretary of
the Treasury Lyman J. Gage said to an
Associated Press reporter today:
"My relations with my ward, Mrs. Wood
Ill, were perfectly honorable, as Is well
known by those who know us. TShe was a
sweet and lovable girl and when . I first
met her I became deeply attached to her.
She has been foully murdered and I think
It is a disgrace that the poor girl's body
should be made the basis for an attempted
scandal. Futher than that I poultively
have nothing to say."
"Is it true you first met her through
President MeKlnley In Washington, when
she was about ii years old? he was
asked.
"Yes."
"Who were her parents?"
I have nothing more to say," declared
Mr. Gage and he hung up the telephone
receiver.
Victim Is Identified.
BOSTON, June 26. It was learned here
tonight from those who knew Mrs. Woodill
when she lived In Boxton, that she vva-i
