A Remarkable Case of Circumstantial
Evidence.
This story is told by the Guadalupe
(Texas) Times:
One of the most fendlike-no, it
were Islander to say Satan would do
such Work-acts were perpetrated on
Monday night, the Goth ult.. in the Cot
tonwood neighborhood. A camp-meet-
ing was progressing in the Cottonwood
school-house, four miles south ofSeguin.
On this night, about ten o'clock, Mr..
Job brennan, his wife and daughter,
ana child of ten years, on returning
home from the meeting, were shot by
wayside assassins. brennan was killed:
his daughter, riding behind him on the
same horse, received five wounds, and
Mrs. Dreen received one severe wound.
The daughter alone saw man crouched
down in fence corner.
Next morning Judge Moore held an
inquest on the body of Mr.. brennan.
Among the evidence a piece of gun
wadding was found, but partially
burned. On opening it, it proved to
be piece Of a German newspaper.
Boot tracks were found and followed,
leading directly to the homes of old
man Kunda and his son Fred. These
houses were already strongly guarded
by citizens, whose suspicious fell there,
waiting the officers arrival At Fred
Kunde's house it was asked. ''Is Julius
here?" Fred answered, ''No; he's down
at the old MANS" But, in passing the
house, Julius was seen through win
dow. The brothers were both arrested.
Proceeding to the old mans, on his
mantel shelf was found torn German
newspaper. To the rent in it was APP
piled the piece of gun wad, which fitted
precisely. On reading the sundered
matter now broughts.together, to further
test the connection proper, it proved
complete. The interpreter read bro
ken line: 'And he raised his gun to
his face and shot him dead" Most sin
gular coincidence, though but part of a
story i'll the paper.
All the family were brought to town,
and on Wednesday, the goth. After a
court of examination, julius and Albert
Kunda were committed to prison, and
the old man and Fred Kunda held to
bail in the sum of So, 900 each. All will
be tried at the December court. The
child is now dead.
