carriage, quit working, and informed his
former employers that he was engaged
in business that was realizing enor
NOUS profits. He borrowed large sums
of money at enormous rates of interest,
| invariably upon short time, and always
repaid them before his obligations ma
tured. He kept a large bank balance
at one of the Indianapolis National
banks, and established credit that
enabled him to procure the indorse-
ments of some of the leading business
men of the place. No one knew his
business, and when asked by his in
dorsers what he was doing, he put them
| off with evasive answers. He was MUIR
dered Sept. II, 1868, and $27, 900 of his
| paper matured in bank on the 18th.
This amount was paid by his indorsers.
He was seen in bank the day he was
murdered with 81, 800 in his pocket, and
one witness swore that Mrs. Glenn said
that Young had given her $4,000 in
the morning of the day of the murder.
These financial transactions of Young's
covered period CT six months, and
during the whole time he was visiting
Mrs. Clem's house as often as two or
three times a week, and always when
her husband was at his grocery store.
Mrs. Clem's husband never met Young,
and never knew that his wife was ao-
quainted with him until after the MUIR
der. Mrs. Glenn was also in the habit
of visiting Young's home two or three
times week in company with her sister
in law, end when there she and Young
would retire to an adjourning room,
where they would be engaged in con-
versation and writing for a few minutes
When questioned by her sister-in-law
about the nature of her business rela-
tions with Young, she put her off with
indefinite answers. Meanwhile Mrs.
Glenn and Young both had plenty of
money. During the same period the
fortunes of her convicted accomplice,
Abrams, who purchased the gun, began
visibly to improve. He Quit working at
: his trade, commenced loafng and Dor
rowing money at high rates of interest,
) kept respectable balance in bank,
\ paid his bank paper promptly, and
spent 81 good portion of his time visiting
Mrs. Clen's house. But the strangest
r part of these financial transactions re-
mains to be told. DIR. Duzan, leading
physician of Indianapolis, and man of
r wealth, had been acquainted with Mrs.
e Glenn since she was child, and had
f always been her family physician. Be-
r fore her arrest Mrs. Glenn had testified
4 as a witness in the grand jury ROOM
i and there positively asseverated that
e she had never had any financial deal
;. ings with DR.. Duzan, and that he would
: not testify otherwise. All the leading
l. bankers in the city were examined and
i compelled to produce the bank account:
: of DR.. Duzan, Young, the murdered
a man, and Abrams, Mrs. Clem's con
f federates. Mrs. Glenn kept no bank &C
!, count during these transactions.
A comparison of these bank account!
t revealed the fact that there were the
e most intimate relations existing between
1 them. When DR.. Duzan would check
$4,000 out of his bank, Young woulc
e make deposit of the same amount the
same day; and when Young woulc
0 draw upon his bank balance, Duzan':
d would be increased to the same extent
+ 1t was the same with the bank accounts
of Young and Abrams. DR.. Duzar
n swore in all the trials that he never
a knew Oh saw Young, and that he hac
J. never had any dealings with him, direct
:, ly or indirectly. Duzan, however, haC
Ii large money transactions with Mrs
e Glenn. She began by borrowing small
/. sums of $500 or $1,000 at a time 70
e short periods of seven to ten days, a
e enormous rates of interest, invariabl,
IS returning the money with interest be
ii fore due, and telling Duzan that sh
II was engaged in large speculations wit
7, leading business men in Indianapolis
c. and that she would tell him all abou
le it at the proper time. These loans il
Is creased until Duzan at one time &C
ee vanced her over twenty thousand do
lie lars, for which he took no receipt, note
10 or memorandum. 1t invariably hal
Ill pened that the very day she would OF
tain money from Duzan, Young woul
r. make deposit of like amount or pa
