!. When Mr.. ,Tomlinson went up. stairs
to get. his. coat the reporter put some
questions to Mr.. Waters and his wife
They said that a young man. named
Jones had remained all night with MIR.
Tomlinson about three weeks. ago. 1t
was Sunday night. He went away the
next morning and Mr.. TomlinsoD: saw
him to the depot. This was enough,
certainly, TO clear Mr.. Tomlinson of any
charge that might be made against him
of numbering the man. ". ~. l@r2.. y,
Tomlinson put, his coat and got in,
to the wagon. He, however, was I'M

Mr.. .Tomlinson was taken. before JUS
tice Butts, and gave about the same
good account of himself. The drafts
were duly accounted for, and the gentle
man was submittedto the Rev. Mr.. Jones
who severely questioned him. 1t was
hard for the old gentleman to learn that
the boy in whom he reposed so much
confidence. had been drinking and ca
rousing in Troy, but alas, it was but too
true. The gentleman blamed MIR. f..
much for not watching the young man
| more closely, if they were true friends.
| Mr.. Tomlinson said he did the best he
could, but Frank would have his own
way. During the examination the
room was crowded with eager listen
+ ers, as the, story of a supposed murder
had gone all through the village. !
