Some farmers, coming to lndlanapo-
lis the afternoon of the murder, met
Young and his wife going in their car
riage i'm the direction of the place where
they were murdered, with lady sitting
i'm the same seat with Mrs. Young. A
few rods behind the carriage, Silas Hart
man. driving the livery stable mare, was
seen by the same parties. lie was recog'

In him he turned his head and drove
by them without responding to their
salutation. Several of these witnesses
testified that Nancy +. Glenn, the wife
of n leadin. grocer in indianapolis, was
the lady who occupied the seat with Mr..
Young's wife in his carriage. Silas
Hartman, who followed in the buggy,
was her brother. A close watch was
placed upon Mrs. Clem's movements,
but her arrest was delayed for three
weeks. This delay in her arrest insured
her conviction.
The confederate, Abrams, was in Jail,
and had difficulty in raising money to
nav attorneys fees. He sent for his
brother, and directed him togo secretly
TO Mrs. Clem's house and get several
thousand dollars, and to " tell her that
the money must come" The brother
obeyed these directions, and Mrs. Glenn,
Welding to the demand, went into a
cellar, where she had package of bills
concealed in a stove-pipe hole in CHM
ney, and gave Abrams brother several
thousand dollars, and told him to tell
his brother in jail not to send for more
money, as it would excite suspicion.
The murdered man was known to have
had over $1,000 on his person a few
hours before he was murdered. On the
day of the murdar Abrams, who pur-
chased the gun, went to Mrs. Glenn
house. from which she was absent a
good portion of the afternoon, and re.
NAMED there till she returned, and re-
ceived large sum of money from heI
Immediately upon her return.
1t was proved that Mrs. Glenn offered
her sewing girl $500 if she would swear
that she was at her home during the
afternoon of the murder. By means o.
brides and threats she procured hei
niece, her sister.in-l law, and an Irish
servant girl to swear before the granC
jury that she was at home and at the
house of her sister.in.law, next door
during that afternoon, and these per
sons afterwards confessed their PERU
ries, and testified on oath that she had
suborned them. She procured book
pedler to swear that he had delivered q
book TO her in person, the afternoon Of
the murder; and persuaded miller
who had delivered a sack of flour at hen
house on another day, to swear that il
was the day of the murder, and that he
conversed with her at the very hour OF
the murder. She procured another
man to swear that he met her in the
indianapolis Postoffice, and accidentally
trod upon her dress, and apologized to
her, the same afternoon. She procured
two women 10 swear that they met her
shopping in a dry goods store a few
minutes afterwards. Immediately upon
her return from the murder, she told a
neighbor, who noticed her flushed ap.
pearance, that she had been at home.
canning grapes over the hot stove all
the afternoon of the murder, the fact
being that no grapes had been canned.
And on her eXami alton before the
Coroner's jury, before her arrest, she
was at home at the time the murder was
committed. On the day of the funeral
OF Young and his wife, she stood at hel
front gate as the procession went by,
and said to a friend that she had no ac.
quaintance with Young or his wife the
fact being that she Mad been visiting his
house with her sister-in.law two or three
times week for months prior TO the
murder. In fact, there was no end to
the lies she told and hired others to tell
for her.
When she was arrested she was wear
ing pair Of carpet slippers belonging
TO the colored servant, and not slipper
or shoe Of any kind could be found
about her house. Inquiry was made at
a number of the shoe stores in Indian
apolis, and it was ascertained that a boy
had sold Mrs. Glenn a pair of No.

The boy was requested to get pair o.

They were procured, and a cerefu

the woods near the dead bodies. but
corresponded with them in every othel
particular. Upon this being mentioned
the boy remembered that Mrs. Glen
complained of the high heels when SD,
bought them, and inquired for a shoe
maker, and, upon being directed wher,
to 20, started TO have them altered
! The shoemaker remembered that h,
had altered the heels of pair of CATER
for Mrs. Glenn, and upon being requested
to alter the new pair in a similar man

near the dead bodies to perfection. Tn

Clem's new CATERS lying on bed in tn
house day or two before the murder
