Great Land suit-Esfate effhe Alleged
Murderer of Helen Jewe,t Involves.
From Texas Correspondent OF tbs RepI

hcab.
While at Marshall few deys ago /
met an attorney who was engaged in
hunting up testimony 10 be used in
suit growing out of the estate of Colonel
Richard Parmlee Robinson, who was
tried in New York in 1896 upon the
charge Of having murdered Doreas
Doyen known in history as Helen Jew
EFT, Robinson was acquitted by the
Jury bat the case had become so widely
known, the beauty of the woman and
the brutal character of the murder com
bined to make Robinson odious and he
left New York and settled in the edge
OF the then small city of Chicago upon
farm OF three hundred and twenty
acras OF land which he purchased But
the story of Helen Jewett followed him
there, and ne removed to Texas in
about 1888. aud settled near the present
site OF Marshall Here he dropped the
Robinson and was known as Richard
parmtee He soon married, and at the
tire of his death, shich occurred about
twenty years ago, was the father of one
child.
The widow afterwards married Judge
VIM. B. ochiltcee, a distinguished
lawyer, who died in 1866 About the
time of the death of Judge Uchiltree,
he widow and daughter brought suit for
the 800 acres of land in Chicago, which
was held by parties there under mort
gsge-or rather the foreclosure of
mortgage The property was valued st
millions. and the occupants made a
bitter fight, and the widow and daughter
lost their suit But before their suit
was concluded, other parties appeared
and set up claim 10 the ground upon
an absolute conveyance from Robinson
or Parmlee.
This gave the case a new phase and
the defendants NJ once procured the
indictment OF the new plaintiffs upon
the charge of forgery. The attorney
has succeeded in procuring testimony
which fully establishes the genuineness
not only of the signature of Robinson
but of one OF the subscribing witnesses,
Mr. James Gray. II is also proved that
Robinson was crippled ID his right hand,
which caused him to write with his left
hand, thus changing the character OF
his ehlrography. If the testimony pans
out as is hoped by the attorney whom |
met, chicago will again be convulsed

RED muT CORRESPONDENTS,

He Writes so n Northern Paper an
Account Of Fr,xbtiui Tragedy in
Dallas that Never Occurred.
Some two weeks ago the editor of
THE HERALD received a letter from
Mauistee, Michig n, asking II man
named VanX4ndt WAS In Dallas, aud
also If tragedy had occurred IN
which two men were killed and one
wounded, In gambling house. The
editor OF THE HERALD answered it,
stating his ignorance OF NanZaudt,
and also informing the writer that no
such occurrence had trauspired here.
/ appears that au attorney of this city
also received letters iuquiring about
the matter. The reason of the whole
affair is, that 10 Manistee paper up
peared an article, signed "VauZ4ndt, -
in which is described a terrible fight
In Dallas, in a gambling hell, In which
two men were killei aud one wouud-
eJ. aud the writer had also been
wounded, and was just able TO sit up in
bed and indite the letter.
Now every citizen knows that no
such affair transPired in cur city. ana
what could have been the motive OF
She writer To make such a misstate-
meut of facts must be knewD only to
himself. II is alleged that the writer
4 Of the letter is one 4 NJ. Donald, who
/ came here from Little Rock. aud FOR a
! time solicited orders for Mark T9ain's
ana Bret Harte's works, as he has
claimed letters directed 10 VanZau dt.
