CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

The grand jury Of fWoodford county. III.
| at their recent session. fully indicted Mrs.
/ Workman for the murder OF Mrs. Hodges at
| Eureka, last May. This peculiar crime. it
will be remembered, was occasiOned by the
| jealousy of Mrs Workman. her husband.
Rev. I. c. Workman, having been rather
too intimate with Mrs. Hodges: but the
grand jury, which was in session at the
time, unaceountably refused TO indict her
She and her husband have been living at
Lafayette, Ind, since they were drummed
out Of Eureka; but. on hearing of the in
dictment, sic proceeded to Eureka and gave
herself up.
Some Of the facts Of the Huntington, l..
| l., tragedy are being brought to light. Two
witnesses who were on the stand last week
admitted being present at the tarring and
I feathering. and one of them had lain in
wait for Kelsey, disguised, on previous
| occasion. Fred Titus, colored man en-
| ployed by the father Of Royal Sammis, re
luetantly admitted that he saw the
latter put on disguise, and that
he drove him into the village for
the purpose of waylaying Kelsey;
1 On the night Of the outrage and
also the next morning he heard Sammis
/ boast of having tarred and feathered Kel-
| seY. As yet nothing has been positively
/ learned as to the fate OF the latter after he
| left the premises of Mrs Oakley. where the
outrage was committed. An old man who
/ lives near the beach where the bloody shirt
and single boot were found. heard sounds
/ which led him to suppose a boat was on the
/ shore, and distinctly recognized the cries OF
| a man in distress. The sister Of Kelsey also
gave damaging testimony against Royal
l Sammis and Others.
Tuesday morning, Columbus and Rsy-
nOlds Bean, brothers, went to Samuels
/ Station, three miles from Bardstown, Ky,
and attacked g. W. Samuels, Of that place,
| with pistols. in front Of his house. Samucls
returned the FIRE with shot gun, killing
I Columbus Bean instantly. Reynolds Bean
then fired several shots NJ Samuels, when
/ William Samuols. his son, ran out OF the
/ house with a doublc-harrclei shot gun and
| discharging the contents at Bean, fatally
wOunding him. Slmuels and his son rode
to Bardst0wn and surrendered themselves
to the authorities. The affair created a
/ general excitement around BardstOwn- 1t
originated in too great intimacy between
! Samuels and the wife of Columbus Bean,
and the shooting had been threatened some
time by the Beans. who are highly respect
ed parties.
