of the denomination of his note. The
pencil mark was at the point on thu
column of figures corresponding with
the note. A scrap OF paper, with figmes
made by Gen. Mcconnell corresponding
ing to calculations with that interest
column and that note, was found on his
Ia lie. The arrested man makes con
self. The Chicago Times gives the fol-
lowing description of the murder.
1.-The deceased was sitting in his
room, facing both and the on.y doors by
which the room could have been enter
ed. He was tourd on the floor, lying
on his face, Immediately in front of his
chair yet tie fiend must have approach

up, and stood by his left side and little
to his rear. The face of the deceased
was turned towards his own right shout
der, looking at his int rest tables. The
deadly weapon was drawn and the blow
was struck that fell behind the right
ear. The Gene al fell forward and the
second blow fell upon the back of the
head. He dropped to the floor, and the
assassin, to make assurance dOubly sure,
struck the blows upon the left side o.
the head, while thelifeless corpse was
pros rae; then. taking the instrume 1
of his malice with him, he rctreated
from the room, across the yard, the
street, and away. H. could not have
been more than twenty minutes in do
ing all this No one saw him e ter;
no one saw him depart. The milkman
says that he saw man go out of the
