!. the atto0neys, but after while sh c
became more communicative an(
testified that the evening previous Il
the arrival of Miss Beaver at he
house, Mr.. A. l.. Wheeler, Of Plym
outh, came to see her AMI told hel
that young lady whom she knew
would be at her house on the mex
day, and that he wanted her to take
care of the young lady and SHE
should be literally rewarded for sc
doing; that on the next day the
young lady arrived, and she found
her to be Sue Beaver; that Miss
Beaver and Mr.. Wheeler had long
consultation together; that soon af
ter DR.. Vinall was called in, and that
Wheeler consulted with him. She
stated that medicines were given the
young lady, and that the young lady
was delivered Of child. That DR.
vinall and Wheeler were present at
the time Of the delivery OF the child
and that DIR. Vinall joked Wheeler
about his boy, and Wheeler replied
that he did mot care damn about
the boy" That DR.. Vinall took
charge of the child, wrapping it up
and putting it in his overcoat peck
ct That Wheeler was at the house
every day, except one, during the
whole time. She also testified that
Miss Beaver informed her that she
had been criminally intimate with
A. L. Wheeler for the past three
years, and likewise stated that Wheel
err had given her money at various
times. The testimony Of Mrs Hop
kins is very full and complete,
entering into all the details of the
revolving scene, and portraying cir
cumstances connected with the Sat-
urday night OF blood, and agony and
death, that make us shudder at the
thought that such depraved beings
exist within the limits Of Plymouth.
This testimony is printed in full in
the Indianian Of to-day, and this
testimony, together with the rest in
full, can be read in that paper, a
large number of which. will be in
Plymouth, and tb oughout this part
of the State to-day.
In addition to the testimony given
by Mrs. Hopkins, the facts develop
ed by the post n'srtens examination
must be considered in the same con-
nection-and taking all the sur.
rounding circumstances, the testi>
mony Of Mrs. Hopkins, and the facts
developed by the post morton exam-
ination-the conclusion must be,
that the statements Of DR.. Vinall are
very far from the facts in the case.
But we do not wish to enter into any
argument upon the subject. We only
desire to state facts, leaving the
reader to draw his own conclusion.
A revolving crime has been commit
ted a crime that thrills the hesrts
Of orr citizens with horror, and sui
fuses the cheeks of the pure and good
with the blush Of shame.
The deceased was engaged in the
dressmaking business in Warsaw, and
was, as we learn from the highest
sources Of information, above sus-
picion while there. A short time
before her last fatal visit to Plymouth
she was present at sociable in
Warsaw. and stated to one Of the
ministers OF the place that she had
been in the habit of attending
religious services in Plymouth,
and LATTER little while" she
should begin such attendance in
Warsaw. Il was shown in the
testimony before the Coroner's in
quest that just previous to her de-
parture for Plymouth, Wheeler was
seen talking with her at her resi-
dence. This explains the safer 9
little while"
She liv cd in this place also, and had
many warm friends here among oul
best citizens. Many of our mos
worthy families have employed her
and with no suspicious of anything
improper on her part. She has beer
recognized at religious services OF
Sundays, and at other times-but
now it seems that while she was in
dustriously laboring to'support her
self, and struggling to lead life o
purity, the "artful iiend," who has sc
long held this place in his satanic
-grasp,wa on her pathway dragging
her down to a sad and bitter end o
agony and death
When the evidence had been giver
before the Coroner's inquest, tele
gram was sent to Henry Logan, oul
Mars al, stating that the evidence
was sufficient for the arrest of A. l.
Wheeler and DR.. j. j. Vinall, and re
questing their arrest Immediately
No reply was given, and nothing he
ing done on the part of Plymouth
