OFFUTT IN ROCKVILLE JAILSLAYER OF FRANK KERTZEMERRETURNED TO HOME TOWN.

Averse to Facing the Fopulace.Gives Details of Escape a

Week Ago.

S'wiial DispmU-h to Til* Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md., November 7..©heriff G^-orge W. Mullican and Speciall>eputy Joseph L,. Clagett returned fromNew York this evening with NicholasOITutt, who shot and fatally woundedFrank Kertzemer last Saturday nightwhile in the latter't> place of business Inthis town. Offutt was arrested within a

very few minutes after his arrival inNew Yolk city the day following theshooting.Immediately on reaching Rockville <he

prisoner was placed in jail, beinir held on

a charge of murder. His cell had beencomfortably furnished by his Rockville

-relatives, who will, it is understood, see

that he wants for nothing in the way off«»4d. Not once since his arrest ha*young Offutt referred to the shooting anyfurther than to say a single time that heremembered nothing that occurred thenight of the tragedy. He has, however,laughingly referr d to his escape fromConstable Whalen as that officer wasabout to close the jail door on him here.He says he had no idea of trying to es¬cape until he was about to enter the jail,when he suddenly became desperate atthe thought of beins locked up. He de¬nies striking Whalen. declaring that hesimply pushed the officer to one side andran.

kan Through the Town.Offutt says that after getting away from

"Whalen he ran down the main street ofR<»ekvillc to the Raltlmore and Ohio rail¬road. down the tracks to Garrett Parkand across country to Chevy Chase lake,where he took ji car to Washington, go-tnsr straight to the I'nion station andboarding a train for New York. He de-

scribes his journey across country fromGarrett Park to Chevy Chase as havingbeen rough. He says that when he reachedthe car 1 ne he was nearly exhausted.Offutt explains he had not been in New

York more than three minutes before hewas placed in arrest by a policeman, be¬ing pointed out to the officer by a cab¬man. who had been requested to be onthe lookout. The prisoner is said to thor¬oughly appreciate the seriousness of hisposition, and his appearance indicates thathe has experienced much mental suffer¬ing.

Dreaded Facing the People.Offutt dreaded facing the people of

Rockville on the way from the station tothe jail, and in deference to his wishes theofficers took him by an unfrequentedroute. Offutt seemed relieved when hereached the jail.Edward C. Peter and W. Outerbridge

Spates of the local bar have been re¬tained to represent Offutt. No intimationhas been t;iven as to what the defensewill be or whether an effort will be madeto have the case removed to anothercounty for trial.

Ash Barrel School of Criticism.K!«haril Hunting Itavig, in Collier's.Today dramatic critics might be divided

into two classes, the misanthrope, whohas set his standard so high that in themodern theater he can see nothing toenjoy, and nothing to praise, and thenewspaper comedian, who regards themen and women on the stage only as per¬sons in a pillory. Owing to some strangeinertia on the part of the public lie hasacquired the right to hurl at actors andactresses impertinent personalities, wit¬ticisms. sometimes cruel jests that festerand leave a scar. To some men, themere fact that a fellow human being isin the stocks, uhable to retaliate, alreadya figure for laughter, is reason enoughfor passing him in silence, with avertedeyes. But the low-comedy critic is notpaid to be magnanimous. If by a flashof his wit he can make his readers laugh,even though it send a leading lady intohysterics or sets an actor swearing, heis satisfied. To him, to see his name onan ash can. under some such stirringquotation from his deathless prose as"A chuckle every minute," "It will makeComstock sit up." is Fame. It is hisbusiness, by ridicule, to send chorus girlssobbing to bed. .

DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDEHUSBAND FINDS WIFE, CHILD

AND SLAYER DEAD.

Son-in-Law After Committing DeedGets Into Trouble and

Takes Poison.

Special Dispatch to The Star.PITTSBURG, Pa.. November 7..His

wife and daughter lying dead, with theirthroats cut and the body of their allegedslayer, George Hartsell, who died by hisown hands, jammed into a trunk, was

the discovery made by William Caseywhen he returned to his home in 5th ave¬

nue, East MeKeesport, late last night.In his absence, Hartsell, who was his

son-in-law, had murdered Casey's wifeand daughter as they were about tor re¬

tire for the night. Squeezing his own

body into a trunk, Hartsell then drainedthe contents of a bottle which, it is sup¬posed, contained poison. His victimswere Mrs. Mary Casey, thirty-seven yearsold, and Irene Casey, six years old,adopted daughter of Mrs. Casey.Hartsell was twenty-three years old.

Less' than a year ago he was acquitted ofa charge of murdering his wife. Sincethen lie had been living with the Caseysand in tliat time there had been constant

unpleasantness between him and the fam¬ily.

Hartsell chose a time when Casey wasabsent from home to commit the crime.AVhen Casey left the house at 7:30 o'clocklast night to visit a sick brother at Pit-cain Hartsell is thought to have plannedthe deed. Mrs. Casey and her daughterwere fully dressed when found. Thewoman lay across the bed in a pool ofblood and the little girl's body lay onthe floor at the,foot of £he bed. Thetrunk lid was jammed down on Hartsell'sbody, which was bespattered with theblood of his two victims.

Pittsburg the Picturesque.From Harper's Magazine.Beneath its soot and grime he will dis¬

cover In Pittsburg one of the most pic-

turesque cities in America. Here he willfind nothing stolen from Europe.nothingderivative. It is the very quintessenceof what one is in the habit of styling"American."The temptation is very great for the

writer who is handling Pittsburg to fillpages with ponderous figures, and totake the unsuspecting reader into hisconfidence and tell him he struck a 200,-000-pound blow by the mere touching ofa button, or to talk glibly of mill build¬ings a quarter of a mile long, or to cas¬ually refer to steel plants a mile inlength.You leave with an overpowering sense

of your utter insignificance, and sitspeechless, gazing through your car win¬dow as titanic hills loom up in all theirgrandeur and race past in mighty pa¬geant into the night, their sides andcrests flaming with acres upon acres ofcoke furnaces, tingeing the vast rollingforms, slowly pacing across the glowingheavens with the golden splendor of somegigantic conflagration.

Winter Drainage Suggestion.From the Outing Magazine.Winter drainage Is not the same as sum¬

mer drainage, and it must be attended tovery carefully at this closing-up season.In summer we simply want capacioustiles running through the soil, capable ofkeeping it from being waterlogged, andwe want a sloping of drives, so that swiftshowers shall be carried quickly by sur¬face djtches. But In winter there Is oftena body of melting snow very suddenlylet loose that will wash the best soil offyour land, tear gutters through yourstrawberry beds, and possibly even heaveout your young trees. It Is extremely im¬portant Just as you wind up your workto cut surface drains of a temporarysort where the slopes are likely to bewashed, so as to catch the flush of waterbefore It accumulates and throw It out ofyour garden and off your lawn. Thesesuperficial drains can be closed In thespring or, if left at all, can be modifiedto very shallow and almost unnotlceablesluices.

BODIES STILL LIFELIKECarbon Monoxide Pbisons

and Preserves Victims.

FUNERALSERVICES MONDAY

Mother, Wife and Son of C. L. Brem-erman to Best Side by Side.

THEIR GRAVES AT OAK HILL

Experts Discuss Action of DeadlyFumes.Water Gas, as Used in

Washington, Heavily Charged.

"Twenty-four hours after desith. thew>dy of Cutts Bremerman. the eighteen-months-old boy of Clarence L. Bremer¬man, who died from carbon monoxidepoisoning, was startlingly lifelike in ap¬pearance." said Dr. I^arkin W. Glaze-brook last night."There was a tinge of color on the

skin and the cheeks were a pretty pink.There is no turning of the skin blue or

black, as in some cases of poisoning."The child had the appearance of be¬

ing asleep and in the full blush of health."Dr. Glazebrook, deputy coroner, per¬

formed the autopsy yesterday on Mrs.Bremerman. one of the victims of thetriple tragedy at 1309 1st street. He saidthere were several interesting featuresfrom a post-mortem standpoint.In the past ten years he has been of¬

ficially cognizant of about ten cases ofcarbon monoxide poisoning in the Districtof Columbia. He described carbon monox¬ide as "a colorless, tasteless and odor¬less Kas."

It is produced, he explained, when dar-bon is burned with a deficient supply ofair, especially charcoal and anthracitecoal. It is the most dangerous of poison¬ous gases known.

Quick, Painless, Unexpected Death.In Illuminating gas. to hide the carbon

monoxide, several other gases produce a

warning smell. But with subtlety carbonmonoxide kills its victims without warn¬

ing of any kind, painlessly and within a

few minutes. Its formation is due to in¬complete combustion without sufficientair. It cannot be produced where doorsor windows are open, allowing a circula¬tion of air.The bodies of Mrs. Bremerman and her

mother-in-law also retain lifelike color¬ing. The internal organs maintain a

bright scarlet color such as is found inhealthy persons in life. The presence ofcarbon monoxide in the blood was wellrecognized, Dr. Glazebrook added, underthe spectroscope.In paraldehyde poisoning, the deputy

coroner further explained, the effect uponthe blood and its brilliant coloring is thesame as in cases of carbon monoxide.The funeral of the three members of

Mr. Bremerman's fanvly will probably beheld Monday afternoon with' services inthe chapel of Oak Hill cemetery. Inter¬ment will be <nade there in three gravesin a row.The remain.* are at Wrights under¬

taking establishment. 1337 10th street,where Coroner Nevitt says he will prob¬ably swear In a coroner's jury tomorrowmorning should the investigation now inprogress at the Department of Agricul¬ture determine that such a step is neces¬sary.Dr. Lewis Wine Bremerman, a brother

of Clarence I.,. Bremerman, the bereavedhusband, son and father of the victims ofthe poisoning, is expected to reach thiscity today from Chicago. Dr. G. B.Heineck" of Takoma Park is a cousin ofMr. Bremerman and is attending 1iimwhile he is almost prostrated.Experts Discuss Carbon Monoxide.That the character of carbon monoxide

as a deadly and subtle poisonous fume iswell known to gas experts was statedlast night by Klmer Runyan, UnitedStates gas inspector.

In every home, in every kitchen wheregas ranges are used, in every bathroomwhere water Is heated "instantaneously"by an arrangement of gas jets this odor¬less and terrifically powerful agent ofdeath is present and awaits only thecombination of poor ventilation and lackof cure to strike down its victim.Death probably comes painlessly and

quickly, depending entirely upon the in¬dividual, the size of the room and theamount of gas.A little more than a year ago there ap¬

peared in a trade Journal devoted to gasappliances an account of a man whodied in his bathroom, which was equip¬ped with a gas hot-water' heater. Con¬trary to the regulations of the state ofMassachusetts, in which the death oc¬curred. no flue had been provided tocarry off the monoxide fumes. Conse¬quently the poison acted quickly whenthe oxygen in the bathroom had beenconsumed partially or entirely.Mechanics who put in the apparatus

laughed at the scientific explanation, andoffered to stay in the bathroom underthe same conditions for fifteen minutes.At the end of ten minutes one man hadto be carried out. The other man wasweak.Inspector Runyan nad not read the ex¬

planation offered through The Star, lastnight, by Dr. Haywood of the bureau ofchemistry. In his talk with a Star re¬porter he gave the same explanation ofthe death of the Bremermans and thesame description of carbon monoxide inalmost the same words.He explained that carbon monoxide is

present in all gas used for illuminatingand heating purposes. Water gas. thekind in use in Washington, he savs. con¬tains several times the quantity foundin gas made from coal.

Danger in Gas Stoves.According to him the greatest danger

from the poison comes from gas stoves.Flues and pipes carrying the gas becomeclogged and imperfect combustion results.Soot or grease will cause this. Unlessthe kitchen is ventilated well. the resultsmay be just as fatal as in the case ofthe Bremerman family.Gas burning at the tip of a chandelier

or gas fixture is not liable to produce thepoison for the reason that the lava gastip becomes superheated and gas pass¬ing through is fully combusted.The danger from gas tips or chandeliers

lies only in taking up all the oxygen inthe room. Then imperfect combustion willresult, as oxygen is needed for perfectcombustion. People in a room affected inthis way will suffer suffocation fromcarbon dioxide, known to every studentof primary school physiology.Inspector Runyan's explanation as to

why more people do not die or sufferfrom the effects of the poisons cast offfrom burners is that houses are gener¬ally more or less ventilated. He alsocorroborated Dr. Haywoods statementthat the suicides who Inhale the fumesof charcoal are poisoned by carbon mon¬oxide.

Recent Published Article.An article in the current issue of the

Scientific American dealing with this sub¬ject has preat local interest at this time.It fcs entitled, "Detection of Carbon Mo¬noxide In the Air." and is as follows:"Poisoning by carbon monoxide is of

frequent occurrence, for this gas is ex¬

tremely poisonous and it is generated inmany ways. The danger of poisoning isincreased by the fact that the pas iscolorless, odorless and tasteless. Its toxicpower is sixty times that of carbon diox¬ide.

"It is absorbed in appreciable quanti¬ties by the blood from an atmosphere con¬taining it in the proportion of one partin 5.000. When air containing one partof carbon monoxide in 2,000 is inhaledthe blood absorbs as much carbon monox¬ide as oxygen, and death ensues."The presence of carbon monoxide in

considerable proportions may be detectedby drawing some of the suspected airwith an aspirator, through a solution ofsilver nitrate. If the air contains muchcarbon monoxide the liquid soon assumesa grayish tint, due to the reduction ofthe nitrate to the metallic form. This

method is only qualitative and not verysensitive, hut It Is convenient for dis¬covering leaks in furnace pipes and fluesailil in ascertaining whether the latterhave been sufficiently ventilated to besafely opened for cleaning."MM. Levy and Pecoul have devised a

method and. apparatus by which as sinaila proportion of carbon monoxide as onepart In 100.000 can be detected, and verysmall quantities can he determined quan¬titatively by persons entirely Inexpe¬rienced in chemical manipulations. Thismethod Is based on the power of carbonmonoxide to decompose iodic acid, withthe liberation of iodin^, which is betrayedby its color."As a prolonged exposure to an atmos¬

phere containing even one part of carbonmonoxide in 20.000 is injurious to health,tests of this character should be fre¬quently made in all establishments inwhich there Is danger of contaminationof the air with this poisonous pas. allleaks should be promptly discovered andrepaired, pipes should be thorouphtly ven¬tilated before they are entered for clean¬ing. men should not be compelled to re¬main long at posts where the air is un¬avoidably contaminated, all conduitswhiph may contain carbon monoxideshould be painted red and workmenshould be strictly forbidden to remain intheir vicinity except when actually atwork there."

MOUNTAIN FORESTS ABLAZEFIRES RAGING EAST AND SOUTH

OF CUMBERLAND.

Much Timber Already Destroyed andProperty in Danger.Men

Fighting Flames.

CUMBERLAND, Md., November 7..The mountains in Allegany county eastof Cumberland and in West Virginia inview of Cumberland are all ablaze fromforest fires.Last night Milton Imes, who lives six

miles east of Cumberland, near Rush,sent a message to Cumberland that themountains in that vicinity were all .afireand that his own property and that ofGeorge Cross, Boyd Smith and LutherMartin was in daTiger. All the farmerswere out last night fighting the flames,after having moved their stock, farm¬ing Implements and household propertyto places of safety. Hundreds of pan¬els of fencing have already been burn¬ed and much timber destroyed. Thefarmers asked for assistance, andCharles A. Smouse took a force of mento the scene. The fire is in the vicinityof Rush and near the farm of Calton L.Bretz of Cumberland, general managerof the Cumberland and Pennsylvaniarailroad. Bx-Mayor Warren C^ Whiteof Cumberland, who has a lumber millin the vicinity of Rush, went out with a

party in three automobiles to fight thefire. He found that the wind was car¬rying the flames away from his mill,which was in no danger.A fierce fire is raging on Knobley

mountain, across the river from SouthCumberland, and Haystack mountain,west of Cumberland, is also ablaze. Themountains are afire along the Balti¬more and Ohio railroad east of Cum¬berland, and this morning the situationwas serious. It is believed by many thatthe flres have been accidentally startedby hunters. There has been no settledrain for months.

BUYS AN F STREET BUILDINGLOCAL BUSINESS MAN EXPENDS

$94,040 FOR PROPERTY.

Intends to Remodel Structure.Wilkes Booth's Horse Tied to

Post on Premises.

Ben Schwartz has purchased thebuilding 920 F street, the first floor ofwhich he occupies as a tailoring estab¬lishment. He intends to tear down thestructure and erect in its place a mod¬ern office building of eight stories.The property was for. many years

owned by the heirs of Mary Moore. Theprice paid by Mr. Schwartz was $94,040.The ground was included in the sale at

the rate of $17 a square foot. Mr.Schwartz, in announcing his purchase,said last night that he proposes to

commence the reconstruction early inJanu&ry.The building has a frontage of

twenty-four feet on F street and runs

back for 159 feet to an alley in therear. There is a wing to the buildingthat takes in the rear of 92:1 and 924 Fstreet, giving the rear of the buildingseventy-three feet in all.

Post of Historic Interest.The rear of the structuu adjoins the

Atlantic building, in which the forestrybureau of the Department of Agricultureis located. It is said that several of theupper floors of Mr. Schwartz's new build¬ing will probably also be used by thebureau.There is an old wooden post in the rear

of 920 F street which is of historical in¬terest and value and which is the prop¬erty of the owner of the building. Itwas at the post that Wilkes Booth Issaid to have had his horse tied when heassassinated President Lincoln.According to the story. Booth, after

shooting the President, rushed from thetheater, facing loth street, to the alleyin the rear, and, freeing the animal,^gal¬loped away. In his haste he did not un¬tie the hitch knot. Rather than lose any¬time lie reached for his pocket knife andcut the halter strap. The part of thehalter left dangling on the post is in thepossession of Mr. Schwartz.

BRITISH BATTLESHIP C0LLING-W00D TAKES THE WATER.

Sixth Vessel of the DreadnoughtClass.Premier Asquith Gives

the Signal.

DEVONPORT. England. November 7..The Collingwood, the most powerful ot

all British battleships, and the sixth ves¬

sel of the Dreadnought class to be placedin the water, was successfully launchedhere this afternoon.Mrs. Asquith, Who was accompanied by

her husband, the prime minister, pave thesignal which set the launching machineryIn motion, and as the huge mass of steel

plunged into the water she christened thevessel Collingwood.While this new battleship is of the

same type as the Dreadnousht and has

the same number of heavy guns, the same

radius of action and the same speed, thereare some variations of detail which makeher more formidable. Her big puns havea greater caliber, and the guns for de¬fense against torpedoes have a highermuzzle energy and velocity.The Collingwood was laid down in Feb¬

ruary, and as more work has been doneon her than Is usual before launching theadmiralty expects to place her in com¬

mission early In 1910.The hull of this ship is Uife heaviest

dead weight that ever left the launchingslip. It Is estimated that it displaces8,."{00 tons of water. When completed thedisplacement of the Collingwood win beover 19,250 tons.

Delaware and Virginia Railway Companyline, left here Wednesday afternoon forthe mouth of the river and Baltimore.Thursday afternoon as the Northumber¬land was leav.ng Coan river for thn land¬ings in Maryland Oapt. Smith saw thepungy about four miles away flying dis¬tress signals and laboring heavily.Under full speed the Northumberland

steamed to the vessel. He found theBradshaw badly damaged, with the watercoming into her at a rapid rate.

It was impossible in the heavy sea tolaunch a lifeboat. Finally, after muchdifficulty, a line was gotten to the pung>.The steamer towed the Bradshaw intoshpal and shelter water.When the Northumberland was sighted

by the Bradshaw the crew had l>eetiworking at the pumps for twenty-sixhours to keep the vessel afloat. In thegale she had lost her masts, the bow hada hole in it, and her planking was sprung.They could have kept afloat more than afew hours longer.

Oh._ tearful and sad was our parting.When shadows crept over the way.

And father closed his eyes to our pleadingAnd darkened our desolate way.
