: The residence Of Mr.. e. L. Harman,
special policeman at the Little Miami
Railroad depot, situated at No. 81 Par
sons street, Fulton, was the scene of an
unaccountably sad occurrence, about
II :45 this morning, the victim of which
was so severely burned about the legs,
hands and face that life was almost inn
mediately extinct. The oircums tances
Of the accident may be explained as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Sophia Cowan, the victim, an old
lady about 70 years Of age, and mother
in-law OF Mr.. Hartman, while sitting
about five feet from stove situated in
the front room of the second story Of the
building, had her clothes to catch in
flames by spark from the fire.
Tue light material in which she was
clothed added immediate strength to the
iapidly increasing flames, and before
and aid could be summoned, the poor
woman, who has been paralyzed for the
past four years, had fallen victim to its
powerful sway.
The first notice given of the accident
was when dense volumes OF smoke were
seen to be issuing out Of the window.
The nelghb0rs Immediately notified the
wi OF MIR. Harman, but the poor woman
at seeing her mother enveoped in
flames, and the room filed with smoke.
became so diStiact that on the spur OF
the moment nothing was done.
The Coroner has been notified and will
probably hold an inquest this afternoon.
The alarm of fire from box No. 10, about
noon to-day, was for the fire at the above
place. 1t was eXtinguished, however,
with few buckets of water, thus dam
aging the property very little.

tbs Prosecuting Attorney, MIR. Ger
rard, has occupied the attention of the
Court and Jury all of to-day in his argu-
ment OH the part Of the Stale. He has
gone entirely over the circumstances
connected with the case as brought out
in evidence, and presented all of the
facts of the case in clear and concise
way to the J ry. No..
Beginning with Rufer's connection as
an enIpioye in Freiberg's lannery, he
traced up his connection with the
Egners and Schilllng, showing his ami
mus toward the murdered man and
his intimate and confidential rela-
tions with his murderers, and it
could not be, he said, that Rufer be-
lieyed that the Esners intended only to
whip schillng, hen, as he himself says,
they had ON previous occasions threat
ened to kill him.
He claimed tnat the evidence did not
prove any duress, but on the contrary,
showed that the prisoners confession
was his own free and voluntary act.
His argument WIS concluded about
half past twelve O'Clock, when the Court
charged the jury. The charge is very
lengthy one and embraces all the po nts
Of fact in the case and the law applyin
to them.
1t instructs the jury that there are
many points of fact TO be taken into con-
sideration which are totally opposed to
each other. IfIt is found from the evil
dence that the prisoner was a will
ing, party to the act; that he was
not forced through fear to become
an accessory, but participated solunta.
rily and by his own VIII, then the charge
in the indictment is proved and ver-
dict must be rendered accordingly.
Ii, OH the oUher hand, it has been prov
ed that, as tile prisoner claims, he was
an unwilling party to the deed, ,tnat
he went into the yard without a
murderous intent and that he was
forced to remain and witness the deed
through fear of great bodily harm, then.
the law does not hold him guilty, and the
prisoners statement must be given full
weight and consideration.
The charge further instructs the jury
as to the claims of intimidation to force
confession, set up by the defense that
must be determined by the quantity OH
either side of proof.
The charge :, as given to the jury in
writing, and covers fifteen or Twenty
pages legal cap.
