Office. and accidentally trod upon her dress
and apologized to her, the same afternoon.
She procured two women to swear that they
met her shopping in dry goods store few
minutes afterward. Immediately upon her re-
turn from the murder she told neighbor, who
noticed her flushed appearance, that she had
been at home canning grapes over hot stove
all the afternoon of the murder, the fact being
that no grapes had been canned. And on her
examination before the Coroner's jury before
the arrest she swore that she was at home at
the time the murder was committed. On the
day of the funeral of Young and wife she stood
at her front gate as the procession went by, and
said to friend that she had no acquaintance
with Young or his wife; the fact being that
she had been visiting his house with her sister
in-law two or three times q week for months
prior to the murder. In fact, there was no
end to the lies she told and hired others to tell
fer her.
THE SHOES SHE WORE.
( When she was arrested she was wearing a
pair of carpet slippers belonging to her colored
servant, and not slipper or shoe of any kind
belonging to her could be found about her n,
house. Inquiry was made at q number of the
shoe stores in indianapolis, and it was ascer-
tanned that boy had sold Mrs. Glenn pair OF
No. 8 CATERS a few days before the murder
The boy was requested to get pair OF the
same size Of the same manufacture They
were procured, and careful measurement
showed that the heels were too deep for the
woman's tracks in the woods near the dead
bodies, but corresponded with them in every
other particular. Upon this being mentioned,
the boy remembered that Mrs. Clem complain
ed of the high heels when she bought them,
and inquired for q shoemaker, and, upon being
directed where to 90, started to have them al
tered. The shoemaker remembered that he
had altered the heels of pair of CATERS for
Mrs. Clem, and, upon being requested to alter
the new pair in similar manner, he removed
portion Of the heel just as he had for her,
and when thus altered the CATERS fitted the
track near the dead bodies to perfection. The
servant girl swore that she saw Mrs. Clem's
new CATERS lying on bed in the house a day
or two before the murder; that she saw the
same CATERS soiled and muddy on the porch,
and that they were never seen aft.rward. 1t
was also proved that Mrs. Glenn was seen to get
into the carriage with Young and wife, as they
were going in the direction where they were
murdered, the afternoon of the murder; and
one witness, who has known her and her broth
er Silas for wears, met them coming home in a
buggy from the direction of the murder, at a
rapid pace, and swore that they refused to re-
cognize him.
MYSTERIOUS FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS.
The most remarkable feature of the case,
however, and one that has excited curiosity
that will never be allayed until the guilty par
ties confess and explain it, grew out of the Sc
cret and mysterious financial transactions which
were carried on between Mrs. Glen and her
victim, Young, and other citizens of Indianap-
oils for months prior to the murder and up to
the very day of its commission. Young, the
murdered man, had been porter in hard
ware store, and was known to be poor. Sud
denly he gave signs of wealth, improved his
property, bought him horse and carriage,
quit working, and informed his former employ
ers that he was engaged in business that was
realizing enormous profits. BE borrowed large
sums of money at enormous rates OF interest,"
invariably upon short time, and always re-
turned them before his obligations matured.
He kept large bank balance at one of the In
dianapolis 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 indorsers what he was doing,
he put them off with evasive answers. lie was
murdered Sept. 12, 1868, and S27, 1000 of his
paper matured in bank on the 14th This
amount was paid by his indorsers. He was
seen in bank the day he was murdered with
81 500, 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 muir
der. These financial transactions OF Young
covered period of six months, and during
the whole time he was visiting Mrs. Clem's
house as often as two or three times week,
and always when her husband was at his gro
Gerry store. Mrs. Clem's husband never met
w OF 10 wifi q g.
ouainted with him until after the murder
Mrs. Glenn was also in the habit of visiting
iYoung's house two or three times week in
company with his sister-in-law, and when there
she and Young would retire to an adjoining
room, where they would be engaged in conver-
sation and writing for few minutes. When
questioned by her sister-in-law about the nature
of her business relations 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 pur-
chased the gun, began visibly to improve. He
quit working at his trade, commenced loahng
and borrowing money at high rates of interest,
kept respectable balance in bank, paid his
bank paper promptly, and spent a good portion paa
the strangest part of these financial transac-
tions remains to be told. DR.. Duzan, a leading
physician of Indianapolis, and man of wealth,
had been acquainted with Mrs. Clem since she
was a child, and had always been her family
physician. Before her arrest, Mrs. Glenn had
testified as q witness in the grand jury room,
and had there positively asseverated that she
had never had any financial dealings with Dr.
Duzan, and that he would not testify other
wise. All the leading bankers in the city were
examined and compelled to produce the bank
accounts of DR.. Duzan, Young the murdered
man, and Abrams, Mrs. Clem's confederate.
Mrs. Clem kept no bank account during these
transactions.
A comparison of these bank accounts re-
yealed the fact that there were the most init
mate relations existing between them. When
DR.. Duzan would check $4,000 out of his
bank, Young would make deposit of the same
amount the same day; and when Young would
draw upon his bank balance, Duzan's would
