The Lawrenceburs Murder.
The murder of the Bradley family, near
Lawrenceburg. Indiana, yesterday, grows
mere sickening in its horrors, as the in

1y to conceal this crime. The two girls
killed were not violated.
William and Charles McDole, brothers,
relatives of the Bradley family, have been
arrested. Charles will probably prove an
alibi William fails to give good account
of himself, and is still held. His boots ex-
actly fit tracks found around the house,
even in some marked pecuiiarities. Me-
Dole is rough, ignorant farm laborer.
