II will be seen from the above testimony that Mr..
Appebee was murdered between the hours OF and 10
o'clock on "Wednesday evening; that IT il probable he
was deceived into the back room by some person VINO
came into the store after the clerks had left preteS ding
10 wish to purchase some butter ana VINO must nave
known the eased's habits, and that he had large
sum of money upon bis person. and while the deceased
was stopping the refrigerator to get sample OF
butter struck him blow upon the bach of the head,
which if not producing death, so stunned his victi
as To render the completion OF the murder not difficult.
Who the perpetrator of this iendish outrage is It re-
quires time to ASCERTAIN. Mr. Nowlin ana MS comps
Mon who went the store between 81 and 10 o'clock
10 make some pufchastr, anu iounu tiei oI".o',
apparently in charge of the store, must have met the
murderer In the person OF that stranger and II I'M
fortunate indeed that they unable to give more
exact description of his person
Mr. Applebee was a quiet, unas.uming man, and
highly respected by all VINO knew him. He leaves
family Of three children, the eldest girl OF sixteen or
seventeen years of age.
After hearing all the testimony that could be pro-
cured the Jury returned verdict that deceased came
TO bis death from blows inflicted upon his head with
Ratchet or sharp Instrument, by SOME persons u-
known to the Jury and that he was deliberately and
wlfuliy murdered.
The Jury also passed resolution requesting the
acting Sheriff and Coroner to oner reward Vi so9O
r. addition 10 the reward offered by the Mayor for
The detection and conviction Of the murderer or muir
