A TERRIBLE TRIPLE MURDER.
Confession Of One of the a~~a..,y.

CINCINNATI, June ga special dispatch
10 the OIanlerci0 from Logan, Ohio. dated
Yesterday, says: One OF the most atrocious
crimes ever perpetrated In Ohio was the
murder In this county, near the village of
Gore, about seven miles from Logan OF Juo
Weldon, his widowed sister, Mrs. Susan Nc
Clurg, and Miss Nancy Hite, q daughter OF
Mrs. McClurg by former husband. The
murderers are now In jail. One' OF them
VIM Terrill, made confession, which puts
tie crime on one Joseph King. King denies
any knowledge of the crime. The prevailing
opinion is that Terrill did most Of the horri-
bic work.
THE MURDERED MAN
was a thrifty farmer, and was generally sup
posed 10 have had money about the house.
Terrill says they met him about half a mile
nom his house; that King, without any
warning, walked up and deliberately shot
him In the bowels. Then ensued a terrible
tussle, during which King shot him In the
breast once, and twice In the neck. TIE vie
tim picked up an old corn cutter and threw
II al h ing and struck him in the back. King
seized the corn cutter and struck the old
man over the head. cleaving his skull, and
finished his work W. TN a club. They then
went TO a small stream aud washed their
hands, and then went TO the house
THE OLD LADY KILLED WITH AN AXE.
King took an axe from the porch aud went
into the HOUSE, and presently came out with
the old lady. They walked together v mo-
nent when, without warning. he struck her
with the axe across the head, nearly cutting
IL in twain. She fell and he then struck her
across the neck, seVering the jugular vein.
KILLING OF THE YOUNG LADY.
He then ran into the house and the young
lady seeing the CORY and blood besmeared
weapon, ran out the front door. The brute
pursued and overlook her before she NJ
taken many steps and dealt her a blow upon
the shoulder, sinking the axe TO the handle.
This brought her to the ground, AID Lee
struck her on the back OF the head, splitting
IL wide open. He again lifted his weapon
and struck her across the neck, almost sever
ing her head from her body. He then threw
the axe down by his victim and probably
went into the house TO find money. Whel
arrested there they had about s1l on their
persons.
THREATS OF LYNCHING.
The excitement is intense. About l.Jo0
people have gathered about the premises and
fears are entertained that there will be an
attempt to- night to take the prisoners from
the jail and lynch them. The militia are
under arms and a lot of extra police have
been sworE in The latest developments go
far TO show that King was not concerned In
this hellish crime. He is known 10 have
been in Logan at O'Clock on the day of TIE
murder and at O'Clock on the same night.
Terrill says the murder was committed be-
tween and O'Clock p. m. Late this even
ing numerous small groups of men are seen
quietly talking on the streets OF Logan. in
Guiding men from different parts OF the
county. Trouble is evidently brewing.
