The Crime of Noah Hale, Near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. SHOCKING DOUBLE TRAGEDY _._â€" A Sault Ste. Marie, Ont... des- patch saysj Noah Hale, one of the bestâ€"known farmers in this district, residing on the People's Road, six miles northwest of here, on Friday morning shot and killed his son, Frank Hale, attempted to murder his own wife, and afterwards, it is believed, committed suicide. Father and son lived almost opposite. eack other. Early Friday morning the mother and son were seated at breakfast in the son's house. when the old man entered with a shotgun, and With- out Warning shot Frank. The gun .Was charged with buckshot, which took effect in the victimjs side. Frank ran out of the house, but fell in the yard. The murderer then turned on his wife and beat her with the butt of the gun, knocking her down. He then ran out into the yard, Where he saw his son lying dead. This seemed to make him even more frenzied, and he ran back into the house, saying that he would kili his wife also. In the meantime the Woman had recovered her feet. He struck her .with the gun again, and she started to run. With great difficulty the injured woman reached the house of her daughter, Mrs. Panther, who lives half a mile distant, where she still is. She sufiered as the place for the deed. Rose was to receive $500 for his share in the murder. Brown gave Rose 820, $10 at one time and $10 subsequentâ€" ly, to defray expenses, and one day Rose started out With the old lady on what, it is stated, the son be- lieved would be 'her last journey on earth. Rose came to Toronto with Mrs. Browu during Exhibition week, and secured lodgment for her with Joseph Levi, 39 Edward street, a former resident of Collingwood, who knew the old lady. During her stay in Toronto Mrs. Brown did not say anything regarding the alleged plot. Rose declares that while in Colling» wood he acquainted several friends with Brown’s proposal. It was Mr. W. J. Peck who induced Rose to make the statement to Crown At- torney Curry, which the agent, af- ter consulting a, lawyer, subsequent- ly refused to sign. Rose left the employ of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company some time ago to become traveling agent for the Continental Life Insurance Company. On hearing of his con- nection with the Brown affair Man- ager Woods, of the Continental, sus- pended Rose. The agent admitted on Wednesday that he had been in- discreet in accepting the money from Brown, but stated that he had acted in What he thought was the best in- terests of the old lady and the Coroner Dr. McLurg and Magis- trate Norris, who went to the scene have returned to the $00 with the body of the murdered man. Noah Rule is a market, gardener, and is well known in the Canadian 800. He is 65 years of age. Frank Halo, the victim, was unmarried, and was well liked by all who knew him. He was a. hard-Working, industrious young man, and had acquired a. farm and a home by his OWn ef~ forts. A BROKEN ARM. and several bad wounds in the head and body, but, may recover. After leaving his Wife Hale ran to the woods. and a, little later a, shot was heard from that direction. It is supposed that he committed suicide. Those who know the family say that Mrs. Hale and the children nev- er knew a, moment’s peace. as al- most every day threats were made against their lives. The old man has always been somewhat peculiar, and five Years ago was arrested for threatening the life of his wife. Three weeks ago he was again arâ€" rested. and on the same charge, and was bound over to keep the peace. Since his arrest the old man has made many threats against his whole family, and those who have heard him talk are not surprised at what has happened. On account of the trouble Frank took his mother to his home two weeks ago, and she has remained there since that. “Frank and I were at breakfast on Friday morning when my husband opened the door and fired at my son. He then struck me on the head and across the face with the butt of the gun. I heard my son cry, ‘Oh, dear.j Husband then folâ€" lowed me out of doors, and struck me again with the gun, knocking me down. He then Went away, but returned in a. few minutes, just as I was getting up and said! 'I killâ€" ed Frank, and now I will finish you.’ I succeeded in getting to my daughâ€" ter’s house. My husband is subject 'to bad spells. I was at my son’s house, where he had asked me to come and stay. I never gave my bus-band any cause whatever to have anything against me." W. H. Brown Arrested at Calling- wood by Detective. A Toronto dcspatch says: W. H. Brown, a. fireman employed at the water works station at Collingâ€" wood, Ont., was placed under arâ€" rest on Wednesday evening by Pro- vincial Detective Greer on a charge of attempting to encompass the death of his aged mother in order to secure the $1,500 insurance which was on her life in the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company. Following is the statement under oath of Mary Martha Hale, mother of the victim and Wife of the mur- derer. The statement was made to Coroner Dr. McLurg' Brown, who was at. his post at, the water works when arrested, Was most. emphatic in his protestations of innocence. He declared positivch 1y that the policy on his mother’s life had lapsed in June, 1901, and that he would have no object, in seeking her murder, as stated by his accuser, John R090, an insurance agent residing at 411 Yonge street. this city. DETAILS OF TEE PLOT. It. was the story told to Crown Attorney Curry by Mr. John Rose that led to Brown’s arrest. Rose was the agent who made out the policy on Mrs. Brown’s life. His story is to the efiect that about one month ago Brown came to him and coolly proposed the murder of the old lady. The first plan suggested was to take her over the Nottawa- saga. River and drown her, repre- PLOT TO KILL MOTHER. STORY OF THE SHOOTING. sentng her death as accidental. Rose, who claims that, he was simâ€" ply leading Brown on, demurred at this plan, so the son brought forâ€" ward another scheme, that of poi- soning her. Detroit, was hit. upon Rose left the employ of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company some time ago to become traveling agent for the Continental Life Insurance Company. On hearing of his con- nection with the Brown affair Man- ager Woods, of the Continental, sus- pended Rose. The agent admitted on Wednesday that he had been in- discreet in accepting the money from Brown, but stated that he had acted in What he thought was the best in- terests of the old lady and the company concerned. A Harrisburg, Pa.. despatch says: Governor Stone intends to suppress rioting in the coal regions. He is determined to maintain order even if he should be compelled to call to arms not only the entire National Guard of the State, but its enrolled milâ€" itia of one million men. In fact, it is said by a, prominent member of the Guard that a call for the entire orgpnization‘ is probable. Governor Stone is known to be greatly worried and much grieved by the failure of President Roosevelt to effect a settlement through the medium of the Washington conference. He had done all in his power as Governor toward the establishment of amica- ble relations by advising with influ- ential men representing both sides, and was forced to admit that his good purposes were fruitful of no advance toward a. resumption of work in the mines. He at one time entertained the idea of calling the Pennsylvania Legislature into extra session in the hope of arbitration measures being enacted to deterâ€" mine the great strike struggle, but his abortive conference with John ‘Mitchell and representatives speakâ€" ing for the miners convinced him that the contention Was too formid- able to be settled by legislation or by anything he could do. The unâ€" satisfactory outcome at Washington has simply ‘ confirmed him in this opinion, and nothing further will be done by him except complying with demands for more troops if the three thousand in service should be inade- quate to the preservation of peace in the regions covered by the strike. He expresses his purpose to suppress all riotous demonstrations. While not apprehending a repetition of the scenes in Pittsburg a quarter of a century ago, he feels assured that no revolt could result in much deâ€" struction of life or property, in view of a well disciplined, Well equipped, and large army, supplied with evâ€" ery appliance to make it speedily effective. There has already been expended in calling into active ser- vice the militia. about $150,000. All the money that could be disâ€" bursed in any contingency could be obtained from the State Treasury Without resort to special legislation. Governor Stone May Call Out the Militia. Substantial Sum Likely to Be Voted at Next Session. An Ottawa. despatch says: Major- General Dundonald has had an exâ€" ceptionally busy time during the past, five or six weeks. and the ex- perience he has gained will doubtless lead to important recommendations. It is expected that Parliament next sexion will be asked to vote a. subâ€" stantial sum for the purchase of more rifles. There are only 40,000 stand of Leeâ€"Enflelds in the country, and with rifle shooting booming as Three Hundred Chinese Go Down With a.

COWS, each Calves, each A Washington despatch says :â€" The great coal conference between the President and representatives of the operators and miners came to an end at the temporary White House at 4.55 o’clock on Friday afternoon, with a, failure to reach an agreement. Apparently the rock upon which the conference split Was recognition of the miners‘ union. The President urged the contending parties to cease strife in the in- terests of the public welfare. The miners, through the President of their union, expressed a willingness to submit the differences to the arbitratiOn of a, tribunal to be namâ€" ed by the President, and to enter into an agreement to abide by the terms tixed by the arbitrators for a. period of from one to five years. The employers, through the Presi- dents of the coal companies and a. leading independent mine operator, Squarer refused arbitration, deâ€" nounced the miners’ labor organizaâ€" tion as a lawless and anarchistic body, with which they oould and would have no dealing, and demandâ€" ed Federal troops to insure com- plete protection, to workers and their families in the mining region, and court proceedings against the miners’ union. They oliered, if the men returned to work, to submit the grievances at individual col- lieries to the decision of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas for the District of Pennsylvania, in which the colliery WuS located.
