siding at Scion, IN this county, was found mur-
dered in his cabin. The deed had evidently
been done several DAYS before. hut WAS shroue-
ed In mystery. Officers, however. scut 20 i'm

stances that the murderer was a left andet
person, and this belief led 60 the arrest OF Ia
only left-hanled person I'm the vicinity. Albert
W.Chamberlain, age ~, n member Of one Of
the most widely respected families I'm the coua-
". The young man had always borne excel
lent reputation, and the evidence against him
was purely circumstantial, but 10 proved cor
rect, for yesterday he made fun confession OF
his guilt. The murder, according TO his con
fession, was committed on the night OF January
&. He fired i'm at the window, and shot the old
man dead n he was sitting before his IRE. Tbs
victim fell upon the live emhers, which psf-
italy consumed his body. Chamberlain did not
enter the house till the following dsy. when hs
took S12 In money from the pocket Of the deaf
man. IL II one OF the strongest crimes ever
committed In this part OF the state, aud hss
