cause of the rupture is believed to be the

/, THE FIELD-N ANDERpooL MURDER CASE
l in Michigan, now on its second trial, is
one Of the most remarkable cases in the
criminal history of that State. Herbert
Field was a native of Lewiston, Me-, and
81 years Of age at the time Of his death.
He had led a rowing life, having been a
sailor and a United States marine, and
c having escaped two most p%erilous ship.
5 wrecks, one of which was of a Russian
bark near Riga. He then passed through
e a commercial college at Auburn, Me-.
l and formed the acquaintance of Mis-;
Hill of Lewiston, who offered to educate
him, and when his health began to fail
from the confinement Of study, moved
with him to Manistee, Mich where they
y lived together as nephew and aunt, though
!. in no way related. He there met Van
derpool and formed with him a banking
e firm, investing about $1,000, which wa
furnished him by Miss Hill. Nanderpoo
n originated in central New York, bore ;
n good character, and has a young wife
He put in $4,000 into the firm. lnSep
TENDER, 1869, Field wished to withdraw
his funds and dissolve partnership, which
was finally agreed to, in spite of Wander
If pools reluctance. On Saturday nigh
l. they went into the bank together, and |:
d days after Fields body was found in tn
lake, several miles north of Manistee, hav
d ing been towed away by an under cur
rent. The theory Is that Nanderpoo
murdered him on Sunday forenoon in tn
e bank, and afterward deposited the bod
in the lake. Stains upon the floor of thu
bank and carpeting have been analysed
and the microscope reveals with s%tartlin
lie certainty the exact nature Of the bloc
S. corpuscles, that they must have belonge

>; Field. The character Of this evidenc
is one the features Of the trial, all efor
Of to invalidate the testimony Of tn
chemist having failed. The stron
BY point ofthe defense is that Field was sec
r. alive on Sunday afternoon, and if that
a. settled, Nanderpool could not have bee
the murderer. Thus the mass of ev.
III dence is entirely circumstantial, and onl
r. the most careful sitting and balancing wi
justify a verdict of guilty or clear tn
prisoner in the public mind. This is h
IN second trial by the first he was loun
lie guilty, but the feeling against him was S
strong that it was thought no more tina
fair to grant him a new trial in u diffel
ent part of the State. He is on trial f,
