THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.

THE CKIS-E FOX WHICH MAX WEI... WAS ARRESTED IN AUCKLAND.

lli-scovcry of IS is Vh-fim's Body.

The St. Louis morning papers of April 15 each contain a full pago descriptive of tho finding of tho body of Preller on the pre vious day, with many interesting details in rogard to the actions and appearance of the supposed murderer, Maxwell, alias D'Au euior, who was arrested at Auckland, and is now under romand awaiting extradition. A sketch of tho room in the "Globe Demo crat" shows that, a largo trunk and two valises had been . piled upon -Maxwell's trunk, which contained the body of his friend. Tho account of the finding of tho remains, and of the singular carelessness of the management of tho hotel, is thus given in tho " (Jlobo Dcmo.r.it.''

A horrible stench, so sickening that the , boarders at the Southern Hotel were almost , driven from tho house, brought to light yesterday ti crime ns mysterious as it was fiendish, Tho nauseating odour which had been noticed for two or three days was traced to room 144, which hud been occu pied by two Englishmen, who had disap peared from the hotel without exciting tlio suspicion.'- of the management. In the corner of this room woro throo trunks, heaped one upon tho other, and it was not dillicult to detect that tho smoll cuino from tho under trunk, The attention of Mr _-.cl.ney, manager cf the Southern, had been directed to tho peculiar stench in 144 on Sunday and ho visited tho apartment, but concluded that the occupants hud left some lunch, which had been allowed to de compose. When l.iio smoll grew unbearable the porter was ordorcd to carry the baggage j dowi I'airs and find out tho cause of nil tho complaint. Tho three trunks were lowered to tho baggage-room, and tlio one from which the foul odour aroao was hastily cir ried out to tho sidewalk, whero it was broken open, and tho body of a man fright fully decomposed was di.covored within. Tho hotel help, who had gathered uroutid out of curio. Hy, drew back in horror. Somo of them wore almost overcome by tho vile stench, and tho scene around tlio hotel cor ridors was one of the wildest excitement. The body was doublod up, and occupied all the space in tho trunk. At the head was written in largo letters : " So porish all traitors to tho gr_.it cause," A messongor was .out forthopalrolwaggon, and in fifteen minutes aftor tho trunk had given up tlio decaying corp.o all traces had been re moved. How Maxwell Acted. Tho " Republican" roportcr gives tho fol lowing interviews with employes of tho Southern Hotel, who _aw Maxwell frequently : —

Henry Arlington, captain of tho dining room, said : "I nm tho officer, or captain, cf tho dining-room, Tho n.-an Maxwell camo hero on tlio Hist ot last month. Ho got litre in the illuming, and I showed him a table. Ho said to mo that ho expected a friend. Then ho remarked suddenly that ho would go up to his room, and left without gelling lii-i breakfast, f did not see him uny tnoi'o that day until dinner-timo. On April 3rd his friend t-uiiio. Ho camo into tho dining loom for lunch at about 12.30 o'clock, i noticed, of course, that thoy wero Englishmen. Bring un EnglUhman my sol f, I asked them ah mt the chances for war. Maxwell said ho guessed thoy woro going to have a car. in tlio course of the conversation that ensued ho said ho had been house surgeon at the infirmary at Manchester for two ycirs. Tho next 1 saw of them was on Sunday evening, April sth, I hoard Mr I'rcllor play upon the piano He tlid not seem lo bo nblo to play well, but just drummed on tho keys. On Sunday night Miixtvoll came to supper alone at hi HO o'tlo k, and ordered a small bottlo of champagne Ho drank ono glass, and gave tho rest to two wnitots and tnysolf. lie was pretty drunk at tlie time, Ho said that his Iriend bud gone ti tho country and would not bo back, in.il that lie (Maxwell) was going to pay his bill. Be asked tne where he should pay, nnd 1 said in the ollico. Then ho wt nt to his room. I told him thero was no necessity to bo in a hurry. When wo got out-"i.lo tho dining-room wo had a little friendly talk. Eager te Go on a Debauch. "Ho said : 'I guc°s I will soil all my clothes and risk it in Western attire. Ho thon pushed hack his coat and pulled out a •15 calibre revolver and said: 'Tlieso are the boys to carry with you.' Ho thon took out, a gold pencil. 1 asked him to lot me look at it It tin .of gold and had a seal.

LATER PARTICULARS.

Tracking Miunvcll.

An Autopsy Showing that Booth wns Caused hy Poison.

The Coronor yesterday afternoon mado nn autopsy of tho remains of Prollor. Tho ox tornal nppcainnco of tho body indicated that poison was tho causo of death. Tho faco and cheeks woro swollen and tho tongue protruding, An examination of tho head failed to show nny signs of violenco, and tho brain, though .oftonod from do composition, was normal and showed no' signs of violenco. An incision was mado in Iho body, and tho lungs found to bo also normal. Tlio intestines wero normal, the stomach nliino showing unmistakable signs of great inflammation, indicating again the presence of poison, '1 ho stomach is boing analysed Chloroform was not tho poison used. It was ascertained to-day that Maxwell, two or three days before tho murder, was in great need of monoy, and that honttompted to pawn his watch nnd to sell his stero optican apparatus and views, but failed, On tho Monday following, before ho loft St, Louis, ho was known to havo monoy, as ho informed persons to whom ho had tried to soil tlicso articles that ho no longer needed money, and displayed plenty of cash, lie also purchased .ovcrnl things, including a valuablo hold glass and a pair of spectacles. Theory of tlie Murder. It is now thought that Maxwell deliber ately planned to murder Proller for his money. On Sunday night last a bottlo of wino was ordered to parlour l.J^ occupied by Maxwell and Proller, and it is bolievod that this wino was poisoned. Tho next morning the tody was put in tho trunk and all tho monoy and jewellery wero taken, .Maxwoll loft, tho hotel on the tith, saying thalj ho was going East. On tho samo night, Mr L Bauman, hoad of a wholesale house hero, saw Maxwoll on a San fr.mcisco train going West,

Loulsvillk, April 15.-James Taylor, an Englishman, from New Yoik cily, says he is an intimate friend of Charles A. Preller, who was murdered in St. Louis. Ho says that the description of tho corpse as givon in tho morning papers is accurate. Proller, ho says, is a eon of E. Preller, SO, Wood street, London, EC. Ho and his brother wore associated with their father in busi nof s at that address. He was also interested with Dickson, of Yorkshire, Ensrland, manufacturer and dealer in high grades of decorative print cloths and embroideries, for which Prcllor had quito a taste. Ho travelled in this country as their represen tative. He was gentlemanly und relined in manner, of a retiring disposition, and almost of an effeminate nature. Ho was about 2S years old.

St Loitih, April 15.—Tho mystery of the Southern Hotel trunk tragedy has gradually cleaved away, and the police are now hot upon tho track of tho murderer. Tlio p?eudo Frenchman who registered at tho Palace Hotel in Sin Francisco on Satur day as D'Auguicr, and who sailed on Sun day afternoon on a steamship bound for Honolulu and Auckla-.d, ii positively shown to bo Walter 11. Lennox Maxwell. It has been shown positively that tho laat seen of C, Arthur Trollor was nt three pm. on Easter Sunday, when he bought a box of cigars at the stand in the rotunda of the Southern Hotel. Maxwell watt with him, and the two walked towards the elevator together. It is also shown that Maxwell bought some chloroform at about 1 p.m, on Easter Sun day, and again at about C p m. ho bought four ounces more. That chloroform was used is beyond doubt, as the room smelt Btrongly of it, and a bottle half empty was

found in Maxwell's trunk, but that chloro form was tho cause of death is not yet established.

The Coronor does not seem to know, nor did tlio post-mortem develop, anything that will show the causo of the death. The organs wero found in a normal condition, except the stomach, which was inflamed. It was turned ovor to Dr. Luedeking for analysis. In the mean time doubts are expressed as to the result or benefit of an analysis. It is maintained that tho analysis cannot develop the cause of' Preller's death if an alkaloidal poison was used such as strychnine, morphine, or atropine. It has already been decided that no amesthetic was used. This w-ill leave the causo of death an unsoly arjle mystery. The elements of "alkaloid poison are supposed to be in the body, and when decomposition sets in a post-mortem synthetic action takes place, uniting the elements and forming the alkaloid poisons. Under this theory, any of the alkaloids might be found in the stomach of an infant who hnd never swallowed anything but mothor's milk. Therefore the result of the analysis need not be looked forward to with much anxiety. There seoms no room for doubt now that tho body ia that of Piollei', notwithstanding the fact that thoro is no moustache. The Coroner says he has not the least hesitancy in saying that tho moustache was Shaved Off Just Beforo or Just Afjer Death. It is equally beyond doubt that Maxwell had nearly 82,000 in Bank of England notes changed into United States notes on Mon day, the (ich inst, ; that ho bought a ticket for San Francisco, and loft that ovoning ; that ho arrived in San Francisco on the lllh, nnd sailed on tho 12th for Auckland, New Zealand.

Mr Prellor carried largo sums of money with him, and just before going on ono of these trips ho told Mr Owens that ho had $'SOO in his pocket. " Take my advice," said Mr Owens, " anil have your money turned into drafts. Large amounts of money are temptations to thieves." Tho young man did not take the advice, and when he left New York he carried with him ftI.OOO in bills. This money has not been accounted for,

lii conversation with Mr Owens he said that ho hiitl met Maxwell on tlio voyage to this country, and had again teen him in Boston. Both Mr end Mrs Owens received tho impression that Maxwell was a very religious person. "Mr Broiler was truly religions," Mrs Owens said yesterday, " and I am suro that ho would not havo takon up with Maxwell if he had not thought that ho was a good man. He always carried a Biblo with him when ho camo to see us, and was only happy when discussing roligion. Ho was quito reticent in his manners and very nervous. Ho did not like to live in hotels on account of tho noise. Ho was vory refined, and a rarely good musician. I do not think that there can bo any doubt that tho man found dead in St. Louis is Mr I'ieller If I had heard tho description anywhere, it would havo convinced mo. Thoro could bo no mistako about tho closo oroppod black moustacho and queer-shaped sido whiskers."

He told Mr Owens that ho was goingto San Francisco, whonco ho would tako tho stoamor for Australia and Now Zoaland, and showed him Maxwell's telegram mak ing an appointment to meet him in St. Louis. Mr Owens gavo him a letter of in troduction to Edward Mayes, of I ees, Now Zoaland, nnd.lohn McGlll, of Napier, New- Zealand, all of whom were members of his religious order. This letter was found in tho room with the body. Mr F. Sellonbach, said that ji-hen his cousin camo to America on his last trip ho mado Maxwell's acquain tance on tho stoamer. Maxwell told him that ho was the son of a baronet, "As I understood," ho continued, "they agreed to moot in St. Louis, and had intended to sail together from San Francisco to Austra lia, on April 12."

Mr Schlesingor could offer no explanation for tho paper found in the trunk, which said, "So perish all traitors to tho great 0au.0," His cousin, ho said, was neither a Mason nor a Socialist, and ho had nothing to do with tho Irish troubles, 110 thought thi'.t Maxwell had killed him, but could not think of any motive. He sail! that Mr Prollor had with him when he wont away from Now York $1,000 in cash, and that he was in tho habit of carrying largo sums of monoy. If necessary, ho woulcf go to St. Louis.

New York, April 19.— The " Times " says : 1. roller'- cousin in this city, Frank Schlosingcr, telegraphed yesterday to Boy, Dr. Brooks, of St Louis, ask ing him to sco thot Preller's body was properly cared for and placed in a receiving vault until ho can sond further instructions. Schlosingcr cablod also to Preller's father, in London, and to his cmployor in Bradford, and ho will await instructions from them before taking any further steps in the matter. " All doubts 1 had yesterday," said Schlo.. ingir, " nbout tho body found in tho trunk bong my cousin's havo boon removed. Inm convinced that ho is doad, and that Maxwell murdered him for his monoy. Prcllor loft this city with sovoral hundred-dollar bills. I saw them. Tho hundred-dollnrbill whi.h Maxwell offered nt tho railroad ticket ofiico undoubtedly enmo from my cousin's pocket. I have received a dospatch from San Fran cisco informing me that Broiler did not sail on the steamer ho had arranged to take, while I sco by tho papers that Max woll did do so. Why Maxwell should havo murdered my cousin for his money I can not imagine Prcllor was warm-hearted and liberal to his friends ; undoabtcdly ho would havo loaned Maxwell tho monoy ho required to mnko tho journoy. It seems to mo that Maxwell has not dono a very shrewd thing in carrying out tho plans that had boon arranged beforehand, and with which Prollor's frientls woro thoroughly familiar, If ho had come to Now York and taken n steamer from hero, no ono would havo known him. The mnn had never been in tho city in his life." Prollor's Religious Boliof. New Yonic, April 10.—The St. Louis trng ody continues to bo tho absorbing sensation. Intimate friends of Preller stnto that his re ligious convictions wero very lingular. His rolatives did not fully uudorstand them, and rofrnitied from talking with him about tho subject. Ho belonged to a curious denomi nation, a community of distinctive ideas, very small as yet in America, but with quite a foothold in England. The believer, rofer to ono another in such terms as "kindred spirit," "dear brother," and similar expressions. Tho few boliovcrs in this city havo no regular placo of worship, and meet in public halls and private houses, devoting much of their labour to young men. Prollor's connection with those people mado him acquainted with Richard Owens. Frank Schlesingcr, of tho firm of H. Kalenbach & Co., is a cousin of Preller, and has been vory inti mate with him. Schlesingor took charge of Preller's letters whilo ho was travelling anel forwarded them to him ou request. Beforo ha bade his cousin good .bye Preller spoke of M-xwell and said that ho had ar ranged to moot him in St. Louis on April 4th." Maxwell In Chios go CiUC'A-0, April l(i, —It i 3 now rotnem bc-red that young Maxwell was in Chicago about two months. He called at one of the nowspnper offices and confessing himself "dead broko," proposed to wtite for the papors to cain sufficient money to defray Ins hotel bill. Ho is believed to have re mained here but a few days. The Body Identified St. Louis, April IC—Walter Arlington, head waiter of the Southorn Hotel, has positively identified the body at tho morgue as that of Proller. Letters for tho Murdered Man. A circumstance which illustrates the fact that C. Arthur Preller, who was murdered by his room-mate, Maxwell, in St. Louis, in tended coining to San Francisco, is that five letters have been awaiting him here in tho Post-office since the 12th inst. Three of the letters were from England, and post-marked Oxford, London, and Stoko _\'owing respec tively. Moto Disclosures. St. Low., April IS.—Coroner Nidele. this morning began the inquest on tho body of C. Arthur Preller, tho victim of the Southern Hotel trunk tragedy. A. L. 'Hunt, cashier at tho hotel, identified tho photograph of Proller as the man who registered at the hotel.

W. 1., K/j-b, of New York, occupied the room next to that in which the crimo was committed. On Easter Sunday he heard groans, and oalled tho bell-boy's attention to them. That bell-boy was found to-day. His name is William Davidson, 2-1 years old, and ho is of more than ordinary intel ligence. He flatly refused to answor any qucttions, Tho most peculiar development of to day is the discovery that tho boll-boy, Davidson, visited Mollier's drug store ur.der the Southern Hotel and tried to purchase chloroform. According to Mr Mellior, a young man called for four ounces of chloro form on tho afternoon of Saturday before Easter Sunday Mr Mellior refused to sell the drug. He now says positively that this young man was Davidson, the hotel bell boy, and that he said it was wanted for a guest at the hotel. Later ii the same day a man called and asked for fpur ounces of chloroform, and an

inexperienced clerk got it for him, but, not knowing tho price, asked tho head clerk, I ■who forbade him to sell the drug, and the man went away without it This man, both cUrks say positively, wa3 Maxwell. Next day, Sunday, the same man called ' again, and, finding tho young and inexpe rienced clerk alone, tried to persuade him to sell more chloroform, saying that he (Maxwell) was a physician, and would write a prescription ; but tho clerk positively refused, and again the man wont away without it. It has been previously shown that he did purchase largo quantities of chloroform at another drug store. An Officer to be Despatched to Auckland. On May 0, the St. Louis authorities learnt that Maxwell had been arrested at Auckland. On the 7th the following appeared in the San Francisco papers:—"Extradition papeis ■were prepared here to-day to be sent to Auckland, New Zealand, for Maxwell, the Southern Hotel murderer. No agent for the State has yet been appointed to go for Max well, there being some doubt as to the manner of his being appointed. There is no need for hurry, however, as the officer who goes cannot leave San Francisco before June G, when the next Auckland steamer sails. The Chief of Police cabled to the American Consul at Auckland this afternoon, instruct ing him to hold Maxwell at all hazards until an officer from Missouri arrived. He also telegraphed to Secretary Bayard that an officer will leave San Francisco for Max well on Juno oth, and urging Bayard, in conjunction with the British Minister at Washington, to see that Maxwell is not re leased on a technicality until the officer ar rives."

The town of Kingman, Kansas, was nearly all washed away by the flood, result ing Irom a cloud burst. Many lives were lost. The small town of Stirling, in the same State, was demolished by a cyclone a few days later. Texas has been Bwopt by Hoods, causing great destruction Of live stock and property. Th© Edmunds law againßt polygamy is being enforced so closely that the Mormons aro holding mass meetings to protest to tbo President. Tho prospect is that polygamy will soon be eliminated from tbe Mormon system. Paul Boynton, the swimmer, whilo endea vouring to fasten a mock torpedo to H.Mj Garnet, at New York, waa eeized and roughly handled by the officers before be could explain that it was only advertising Goodycar's waterproof clothing. 1 he jury toturned a verdict of not guilty against Short for stabbing Captain Phelan in O'iJonnovan Koesu's ollice.

United States officers roport that tho Panama Canal cannot bo completed in less than five years, nor at a smaller cost than 350 mil'ion dollars. They also say that should the receipts roach 13 million dollars annually for the lixed charges will swallow tho entire amount, leaving nothing for interest. A London syndicate]" has con oludod a contract with the Honduras Go vernment for an inter-oceanic railway.

A troaty betweon Columbia and the United States granted tho latter country a right to tho guardianship over tho rail and canal transit. 1,200 United Stat 8 marines landed on tho isthmus to keep the railroad open, but were nfterwards withdrawn under agreement with the insurgent leaders and French consul. The "Tribune's" correspondent tele graphed : " Evacuation ot city rofused. American prestige on istmus, and caused rejoicings amongst tho iusui gents and their sympathisers, who called Jthe Americans cowards. Tho settlement of tho trouble was the withdrawal of the revolutionists from tho city of Panama, which, with the re volutionary armnmont, waa handed over to thoeommand.r of the Columbian Government troops, who landed on May 1. In a letter to tho French commandant, tho French Consul remarked that the U.S. marines were scared out of Panama by tho protest of Paiis. Tho U.S. Consul demanded ro traction, but tho Frenchman denied the remark. Kiel Rebellion. Fort Pitt, in N.W, Manitoba, fell into tho hands of Crco Indians, and soveral of tho garrison were massacred. The com maodor of tho Fort was Jeffrey Dickens, third son of tho novelist.

Middle ton, it was said, did not appreciate the lighting qualitiosof half breeds or ho would not havo sent raw voludteers to dislodge such sharp shoot crs who fired with dead ly accuracy from behind sholter. Nearly all the killed, wore shot through the head or heart. Despite the reverse, General Middleton announced to the Ottawa authorities his intention to march immediately on Rielß head quartets in the Balmetic country. General Middle-ton says he ordered a charge with bayonet, but his untrained soldiers could not force their way to the rifle pits. Several sottlors in the N.E. region havo been killed and some women captured. They aro being horribly maltreated.

COROMANDEL COUNTY COUNCIL.

A full meeting of the Cwc-I'took place;; on Thursday last--ilr A. J. Cadman, * Chairman, presiding. The first business 'M was to stride a. rate, for- which a special....' meeting was called. The annual balance sheet was ?ead apd adopted, and a rate of.-,. } six farthings in the $, payable in one from : to the County Cletl; on the Ist of Jiiue, r w-as struck. Attentlou was drawn to the . fact of there being a large amount of;' arreare owing, and some action was l-econ. mended, but unfortunately many allot ments wero so small they were not worth tho expense of seising for therates. The ordinary monthly meeting was then held, : all the members being present. The road through Lynch's Flat came up far consideration, and caused some hours disr, ; oussion, and it was ultimately agreed bjr- , the Council that the road should befo»«e* to the first cutting on Wiaou -r*sk -oa. certain conditio-s. — A letter was read-} i, from Mr Merridith offering to .wake,tha-.; half of his portion of the A-ra-iwefci., . road (40 chains) on condition that he be,, paid for making tlio other half > Graatedv -, Mr Hannon, Mercury Bay, offered to fiiita . timber for feat bvidge, the Council to fiiia. ; labour: Granted, provided the cost does not.;. exctied £7. It was agreed that tbe liec-.e-.J*' ... repairs to Tol-atoaßoad,fromNiccols,bepro». .■ ceeded with at once.
