The trial Of Mrs. Glen has developed but partially
one 81 tue most singular aalirs IN the history VI
crime ~ indiana. The most remarkable feature OF
the investigation Is that so much should have been
brought out without clearing up tie whole mystery,
the TACT beng that there Is more mystery connected
with IL now THAN when these lacts were partially
~ own and frst as TO the motive for the murder.
Primarily money was undoubtedly AT the bottom OF
me ailair. the murdered man lad u considera-
bic sum Of money Immediately previous 10
his DEAN, but there is no proof as 10 It's
probable amount. it may have peen $1,000
or $50 600. lie had had control OF quite
large amounts, obtained ~ the assistance OF his
friends. These Trends were business men, usually
regaraed as careful IN the management OF their own
.fia It is the very natural belief that these men
know much moro about the mysterious transactions
of Young and his associates u an was brought out
the trial. In this case the TWO men who mad the
heavy dealings with Young seem 70 have lost largely
ana nave maze II appear, ~ leas., whetner true or
not that wBlle members Of tAe same nrm tney were
not aware OIL each others TRANSACTIONS WIN MN.
Young seems % have managed tue AFFAIR quite weil
FAR as they were concerned and the bank accounts
Indicate that Ia more than one ~ ance the endorse
ments OF one partner were made o pay or bill of
the other. 1t Is very evident that Dung was as guilty
a. any Of the parties II the money obtained was used
an unlawful way; but upon this question The in-
yestgatlon seems TO have LEFT everybody outside OF
the ring entirely In the dark. There Is no evidence
whatever tendinr 10 show how the money was used,
and there dircc Indications That the ring was
engaged as was at ofe time supposed, In counter
fetn@, thleynl or anything OF the sort. One OF the
latest theories has been that the parties were merely
engaged IN q gigantic confidence scheme, intending
TO secure q large sum OF money and then decamp.
This cannot have been the fact as there were too
many persons in II, and the amount OF money which
they could have reasonably expected to realize
would not have PAID them for the risk run, espe-
cialy after IL had cost them so much TO raise the
wind" The money was evidently used In
some venture where the returns were cx-
pected TO be large and where the risks
we're consequently great. AZ q consequence
q slight characterization might have lost
Them everything. Young had handled large sums OF
money, but unless he made money In a remarkable
way he eventually lost heavily, but may have had
but comparatively small amount when killed. 1t
Is In evidence that besides paying very heavy In
terest he had paid TO one endOrser over a. 600 and
to another $4,000 IN less than year for the use OF
their names II u noticeable that Hartman, the man
who Is presumed 10 have actually committed the
murder, had no part in any way In any OF these prior
money transactions. Hts sister, Mrs. Glenn, was con-
nected with some OF them, however, and he lived
with her, doing no work. His story connecting his
cousin from Missouri with nam In his effort TO prove
an abb was not believed SO far especially, as this
cousin was concerned, from the fact that he kept
alo0f from the Clenl5 and Har.mans, except SaH
and none OF them knew or his presence and
especially because effort was made TO obtain his
testimony II was net believed by anybody that ne
was here at all. IL oCcasiOned some SURPRISE there
fore, when tho clerk OF the spencer House found
such name registered, lie had locked fer II on the
register three or four days before and after the MUIR
der, and failed TO ind IL. lie was expected, there
fore, to prove that he was not there The cross OK
animation, however resulted IN tho investigation OF
