AT Metamora, Mrs. Il. G. Workman,
once tried for the murder Of Mrs. Hedges,
has been indicted by the grand iury OF
Woodford county for larceny and bur.
glary. Ever since her trial for murder.
the Workman family have been living in
Metamora. The family consists Of Work
man, Mrs. Workman,and seven children.
the oldest boy, Watson Workman, almost
a man grown, Workman has led a pre-
carious life by plastering, endeavoring in
the meantime to get license to preach
again. Last Noven Der, Katie Evans,
Young woman now living in the Camp
bell house, FL Paso, went to Metamora,
and was employed by the Work
man family. The first day, on
going up stairs to make the bed, she
found tucked away in one corner a water
proof skirt, apron and waist. She rolled
them up, but the sight of blood spot
and splashes over the front breadth was
sufficient TO arouse her curiosity. The
second boy was in the habi of saying to
Watson ii know who killed the woman"
Mrs. w orkman was ordinarily morose,
and Workman was in great fear of her,
She would say, "You had better go and
get another Mrs. Hedges" to which he
responded one day, "Well, if | should
you'd kill her." The girl, Katie, says
Mrs. Workman robbed the house of
German named Bailer, next door. and
for this Mrs Workman has been indicted.
Katie also relates that one day Mrs.
Workman took her into her confidence
and confessed completely in the murder
of Mrs. Hedges. She told her she was
aided IN the bloody deed by Watson, who
struck her over the eye, on the temple,
with board. This stunned her, when
Mrs Workman, in a fit Of fury, cut her
throat with knife, searched the body,
and, aided by her son, threw the body
into hog lot, where it was found.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-There is another

these bonds shall hereafter be recognized and

claimed that, taking his former opinion aud the
