cupied the seat with Mr.. Young's wife in
his carriage. Silas Hartman, who followed
in the buggy, was her brother. A close

before the grand jury that she was at homeI
and in the house Of her slster-in-law, next
door, during that afternoon, and these per-
sons afterwards confessed their pepiures, 1
and testified on oath that she had Suborhetll

swear that he had delivered a book to herl
in person, at her house, the afternoonbfl
the murder, and persuaded a miller who
had delivered sack of flour at her house
on another day, to swear that twas 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 post-offlce, and ac-
cidentally trod on her dress and apologzed
to her the same afternoon. She procured
two women to swear that they met her
shopping in a dry goods store few min

retu rn from the murder she told neigh
Dor, who noticed her flushed appearance,
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 examination before
the corouers jury before her st she
swore she was at home at the time the muir
der was committed. On the day of the
funeral Of Young and wife, she stood at her

and hired others to tell for her.
When she was arrested she was wearing
Il pair Of carpet slippers belonging to her
colored servant, and not a slipper or shoe
Of any kind belonging to Lcr could be
found about her house. Inquiry was made
at number of the shoe stores in Indanap-
oils, aud ii was ascertained that a boy had
sold Mrs. Glenn pair of No. 3 CATERS few
days before the murder. The boy was re-
quested to get a pair Of the same size Of the
same manufacturer. 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, bat cor
responded with them in every other par
ticular. Upon this being mentioned, the
boy remembered that Mrs. Glenn complain
ed of the high heels when she bought them,
and inquired for n shoemaker, and upon
being directed where TO go. started to have
them al ered The shoemaker remember
ed that he sltered the heels Of a pair of
CATERS for Mrs. Glenn, and upon being re-
quested to alter the new pair in a similar
manner, he removed portion Of the heel
just as he had done for her, and when thus
altered tho CATERS fitted the tracks near the
dead bodies to perfection. The servant girl
swore that she saw Mrs. Clem's new CATERS
lying on a bed in the house day or two
before the murder; that sne saw the same
CATERS solled and muddy on the porch the
morning after the murder; that Mrs. Clem
passed out by them upon the porch, and
that they were never seen afterward. 1t
was also proved that Mrs. Glenn was seen
TO go 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 had
known her and her brother Silas for years,
met them coming home in buggy from
the direction of the murder, at a rapid pace,
and swore that they refused to recognize
him.
The most remarkable feature the case,
however, and one that has excited n curl
osiy that will never be allayed until the
guilty parties confess and explain it, grew
out of the secret and mysterious financial
transactions which were carried on between
Mrs. Glenn and her victim, Young, and
other prominent citizens of Indanapo-
lis, for months prior to the murder and up
to the very day of its commission. Young,
