Horrible Affair.

The Lexington (I<y.) Atlas gives the fol-
lowing particular account of the horrible
affair in Shelby County, of which we had
notice day or two ago:
fFRANKFoRT, April %, 1913
Shelby county has been, within few days
past, the scene of an Outrage, almost without
aparaIIel in the history ofcrime in this sinful
world.
physician, by the name of Mtchusson,
who resides in Shelby county, has been for
some time the family physician of Il gentle
man named Guthrie n citizen ofShelby coun-
~. The wife of Guthrie was indisposed
some time since, and Mitchusson was called
in. The wife was several years the junior of
her husband, though the disparity in their
ages was not very great; she was woman
'0t fine person and attractive. Mitchusson is
himself n married man, the father ola family
ofinteresting children. lie became enamour-
ed with Mrs G. and seduced her, as she says
by administering to her inciWe of cnnthni-
dcs; and when she became fully sensible of
degradation, and the great wrong she had
done to her husband, she was deeply distrac-
led; but the sin was again and again repea-
ted.
Itwas finally suggested by Mitchusson,
that, in order to place themselves in position
20 become one in law, he (Mitchusson) should
;ake the life other husband. She was finally
overcome by the wiles of her seducer, and
consented to the proposition. Among the
many arguments addressed her by her des-
iroyer were many adduced from scripture.
A few days since Mr. Guthrie was slightly
indsposed, and Mtchusson was called to see
him. The Doctor prescribed for Mr. c.
There were several papers marked "white
POWDER" and "yellow powder"-with secret
4s.,oT IN fiat hr,. ft,o,,
administered. The "white powder" was
prepared for the patient. 1t did not look like
the medicine he had taken on former occa-
sions. He held the spoon containing the
medicine IN his hand,aud walked to the win
dow to examine it: his wife followed him.
and leaning on his arm, tainted, or affected
TO faint, and fell on his arm, so as TO tro,o the
medicine out of The spoon. In opening her
dress to relieve her, he found several other
papers ofthe same medicine. She was per-
fectly frantic. The husband was COMPOUNDED
for he was still without suspicion She,
however, in spite of herself told everything,
and IN confirmation of her story, produced
the letters ofMitchusson, addressed TO her,
which are filed with the most ardent profess
tations of love, and with the hints of their
plans.
She was Immediately sent Otto her friends
who are people of great worth and the high
est responsibility legal gentleman came
Immediately TO Frankfort TO secure her par
don, that she might be witness against
Mitchusson. and for the reason, that w. Gu
ihrle was unwilling to see the woman who
had been his wife, prosecuted for SO great
crime. The Governor declined to pardon
her, at present, and the gentleman returned
Immediately to Shelbyville, resolved to arrest
them. Meanwhile, the story had gone a
broad Il Mitchusson had deeamped-S- was

A Crash!

This afternoon at about half past two o.
clock while the workmen on the fine three
story brick building which Mr. Amasa Drew
is erecting on Water Street, opposite the Ex-
change Hotel, were engaged in elevating the
rafters TO their positions, one of the shores or
props, which sustained the cross timbers,
gave way, the front wall fell outwards, and
the whole were precipitated amid falling
mass of timbers and brick to the first floor, n
distance ofsome 30 or 40 feet! There were
eight men on the building at the moment,
and Messrs Seth and James Morse and one
or two others were in the basement They
all escaped urhurt, or with slight injury, eX-
cepting two-Edmund Powell, n mason in
the employ of Messrs Morse, and a MIR Van
dewater. a carpenter, who resides IN Wills
borough, N. Y. MIR Powell was thrown out
side of the building aud nearly buried be-
meath the brick aud rubbish; He was eXtrlca-
ted, however, very soon, and though very Sc
verely cut and bru Used, is not considered 10
be fatally hurt.
Mr. Vandewater fell with the timbers, plank
sc. within the walls,and was so seriously in
jured that he is not expected to recover. He
was carried to his residence, an hour after
the occurrence, in state of entire insensi-
biiity. 1t is certainly remarkable that n much
greater loss of life was not occasioned by
this deplorable accident.
The cause of the disaster unfortunate in
its consequences to Mr.. Drew, and tenfold
unfortunate in the probable and possible loss
Of life that attends it) was unquestonabIy
that the cross-timbers were not sufficiently
Shored or propped TO sustain the weight that
was upon them. A single strip of ordinary
plank, not more than 8 or 8 inches wide. was
all the propping that was placed under each
timber; and the width of the building rem
dered additional, or greatly stronger props,
necessary as matter of the most ordinary
precaution. Tie lesson of prudence taught
by the calamity that inevitably followed so

AWFUL AND BLOODY TRAGEDY
A WHOLE FAMILY BUTCHERED!!

a WHOLE FAMILY BUlCllERED!
We have Just learned few of the portcu-
lars OF q most unnatural and shocking affair
which occurred on Thursday night ast,in the
town of Edgecomb, about five miles from
Wiscnsset Village. A man named Pinkham
we have not learned his Christian name
abont 45 years of iage, by occupation Il ship
carpenter, with n sharp axe, completely de-
Capaated his ,cyc and four children, the oldest
Child about twelve years ofage, leaving the
heads hanging to the bodies only by small
portion ofthe neck, and then cut his own
throat most eftectually with u razor. The
house standing some dstun ce from other
dwellings, the awful deed was not discover
ed until some time OH Friday,when the moth
er of the man, having occasion to visit the
house, found the inmates in the horrible SIT
uation described; not soul being left TO tell
the tale of blood. But the nIaugled victims
ola fathers madness,t the fatal axe, the marks
of blood upon the floor, the fathers throat
and the open razor, disclosed an awful tale;
while paper found OH the premises, in the
Joint hand writing of the parents, revealed
condition of mind which shows how fearful
" appalling are the fruits of religious error.
1t appears that Mr. and Mrs. Pnkham had
been victims of the Miller deluson; but the
full force Of its crushing influence upon their
spirits seems not to have been suspect
ed by others. The paper to which we have
referred, an exact copy of which was seen by
our informant, continued n statement i'll the
hand writing Of Mrs. p. followed by another
by her husband, setting forth that they had
become tired of life--that there was nothing
in prospect for them worth living for, and
that they had mutually agreed upon the de-
struction of themselves and their children;
requesting that their bodies might be depos--
tied in n stone tomb. Tie wife when found
was in he'd, partially undressed, The eyes open
as though awake ut the moment of decap-
itation. The children were also in bed,prob-
ably sleeping, unconscious of any danger.
