TRAPPING A MURDERER.

Over twenty years ago (said MIR.
Whitmire, n detective with whom !
recently had an interview, was on
the police force of New York. One
summer night, few minutes past

you | would ring the bell. "
MIR. Bradley was wealthy old
bachelor, who had lived entirely
alone for years, in IN old fashioned
brick house. His riches were sub.
ject of frequent gossip; and it was
said that in his house, to which no
outsider was over admitted, he kept
large amount OF money and silver
ware. / rang the bell, but there was
no response.
Are you sure you saw him go in T.
l asked
"Yes sure of it. He hadn't been

heavy fall / have heard no sound

There must be something wrong,

ond time, and receiving no response.
| tried the door, but it was locked.
"lf were you would force the
door, suggested the man at the
window.
II don't like to do that. Is there
any other entrance?'
"Yes, that alley just beyond the
steps leads TO back yard; but the
gate is probably locked, as well as the
rear door"
II will go and see,' said | and
walking up the narrow alley, I dis
covered, by the dim light of n street
lamp nearly opposite, that the gate
stood open.
Hooked in, and perceived that the
rear door was open, and faint light

All was perfectly quiet. return
ed to the street, and said to the man
ut the window:
"rhe gate and back door are open
Come down and we'll go in"
In half minute he joined me on
the sidewalk, when I recognized him
as an acquaintance, named Henry
Collins.
"Ah, is this you' I didn't know
you lived here" said.
"Yes, and | didn't recognize you
when first spoke"
"Well," said I, "there may have
been some foul work in this house
and we had better both go in"
We went up the alley, into the
yard, and entered the open door
The rear room was evidently used as
a kitchen and guided by the din
light, we passed through another
open door into a narrow hall with
stairway. Near the street door wai
an old table, on which stood n light
ed candle, that had burned to within
an inch OF the candlestick. At th'
foot OF the stairs lay Mr.. Bradley
quite dead, and q frightful wount
upon his head convinced me that h
had been murdered.
Atmy request, Mr.. Collins hurried
away to the police station, two hun
dred yards distant, to inform th'
captain, while I took the candle ant
made hasty examination of the pre-
misses. A number of drawers in thu
second story back room had beer
broken open and ransacked, and ol
the floor lay half Of fresh-lookinl

bachelor was not in the habit O
spending money for newspapers

Murder of Johnson and Wife.

The Lexington Register extra received
late tonight, gives long, rambling and
voluminous account of the murder of B.
H. johnson and wife at New Lexington,
Sunday night, brief mention of which
was made in these dispatches last night.
1t appears that Johnson had not lived
happily with his wife and left for Ken
tucky some months ago. He returned
suddenly, Sunday evening, accompanied
by Lorenzo johnson, his cousin, one
riding fine horse, the other mule, and
stopped at the house of Mrs. Lindsey,
mother of Johnson's wife. About two
o'clock Monday morning, pistol shots
were heard in the room occupied by
johnson and wife, and on the family en-
tering, Johnson was found with bullet
wound in his head, and the skull broken,
and his wife's head mashed to jelly
with an axe A letter was found on tn"
table. signed by b. X. johnson, ad-
dressed to Lorenzo johnson, i'll which
he saws he committed the deed
and had determined to do so before
leaving Lexington on account OF his
wife's infdelity The statement in let
ter is not believed, however, for the rca-
son that Johnson could not write,
and Lorenzo is thought to be the muir
dcrer, although there is no proof of it,.
About ten O'Clock Monday morning Il
train from the west came down, and just
as Lorenzo was going aboard
he was arrested for horse stealing. The
horse and mule which he and his cousin
were riding, proved to have been stolen
at Fallan. Missouri, and these two men
answered the description Of the thieves.
Johnson was taken to Richmond and at
last accounts fears were entertained that
he would be lvnchcd The verdict of
the Coroners Jury was that Johnson.and
wife were killed by the blow Of an axe
and pistol shots after being chlorotorn"d.

Drafting.

HAVANA, August lS.-The recent de-
cree ordering the drafting OF all citizens
for military service, contained clause
exempting any conscript on the pay
ment of $1,000. Great numbers have
availrd themselves of the privilege, and
consequently the progress IN filling up
the c"ntingents for different corps is
very slow, and men are not coming in
sufficient numbers to meet the require
ments of war. The Captain-Gcneral is
sued another decree to-day requiring
all persons drafted for calvary and the
colored militia seeking exemption not
only to pay $1,000, but procure able
bodied substitute .conscripts, While the
infantry continues to be exempted on
