The most remarkable feature of the
case, however, aud one that has excited
a curiosity that will never be allayed
until the guilty parties confess and ex.
plain it, grew out Of the secret and mys.
FERROUS financial transactions which
we're carried on between Mrs. Glenn and
her victim, Young, and other prominent
citizens Of Indianapolis for months prior
to the murder and up to the very day
OF its commission. Young, the murdered
man, had been a porter in q hardware
store, and was known to be poor. Sud.
denly he gave signs Of wealth, improved
his property, bought him a horse and
carriage, quit working, and informed his
former employers that he wal engaged
in a 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 a 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

paper matured in bank on the l4th.
This amount was paid by his indorsers.
He was cen in a 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 murder. +
These financial transactions of Young's
covered a period Of six months, and |
the whole time he was visiting |
Mrs. Clem's house as often as two or
times q week, and always when
her husband was at his grocery store.
Mrs. Clem's husband never met Young,
and W 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 a 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.
rersation and writing for q few minutes
When questioned by her sister.in-law
about the nature of her business rela-
lions with Young, she put her off with
indefinite answers. Meanwhile Mrs.
Glenn and Young both had plenty of
money. During the same period the
'ortunes of her convicted accomplice,
Abrams, who purchased the gun, began
to improve. He quit working at
