and revealed her fathers iniquity. Her
mother was in the habit of getting drunk,
and when in that condition would speak of
her husbands crime and threaten him with
exposure. The matter finally came to the
ears Of their neighbors, and the consequence
was that they were obliged to leave Charles
ton, from which city they went to Baltimore
and thence to New York. Her father and
his brother John, through the influence of
Controller Kelly, secured positions as night
watchmen, ETC., at City Hall, and the family
settled in Williamsburgh.
Shortly after her marriage two months
ago, she made confession to her husband,
and the consequence was quarrel between
the latter and her father, who accused her
of slandering him. The trouble continued
till last Thursday morning, when her father
attempted to kill her. He, had threatened
to take her life unless she denied, in the
presence of her husband, the truth of
her statement, but this she posi-
lively refused to do That her father
intended to carry out his threat she
had no doubt whatever, for only two DAYS
before he shot at her he called at the house
and swore that he would hang for her unless
she got Gown on her knees and with crucifx
in hand acknowledged that she had lied.
He had pistol in his possession at the time.
and would undoubtedly have used it had
not her husband and friend come in Just
at tDat moment. one then ulu fall down
upon her knees and raise the crucifix, but
only to reiterate the truth of her accusa-
tions and denounce him as fiend. Tle
next and last interview with her father was
on THURSDAY morning, when he made the
attempt upon her life. Her statement in
reference to the murderous attack CORE
spends materially with the report already
Published i'm the Eagle She says he fired at
her three times and then knocked her down,
and after beating her over the head
with the pistol, stabbed her on the
arm and wrist with the scissors. She
expected every moment to be her last,
but was sensible enough TO pretend to be
dead. hoping by that means to hasten the
flight of her asSailant. Twice, however. he
discovered that she had signs of life and re-
newed his attack. Rose is exceedingly bitter
not only against her father but her uncle
John Leon, wh) is also under arrest Her
statement places the latter in the light of
accessory to the deed. inasmnch as she says
that he stood quietly by and made no effort
whatever to save her, although she made
piteOus appeals to him to do SO. From the
closing portions of the interview with the
unfortunate woman, il is clear that she is
not likely to show any Observation-Disclosures

overheard conversation between
st. Clair and negro named Alex Cauthorn,
in which the details of the attempt to rob
the express car at Long Point were re
hearsed- This they repeated to Colonel
Dewey, and he, acting upon this evidence,
captured the whole gang.
KEPT IN CONFINEMENT.
The negro Cauthorn was induced to visit
indianapolis about two weeks since, where
he was arrested and has been kept in soil
tary confinement until to-day. From him
the officers gained much valuable information

keeper of house of prostitution in this
city. Alex and Sam Cauthorn, two negroes
who were in the employ of st. Clair
at the time; Billy Carr. son of
respectable citizen of Terre Haute; Jack

gagenen on the Vandalia railroad at the
time of the murder, and Jennie Osgood,
prostitute.

Colonel Dewey says the robbery was
planned at the house OF St. Clair and all of
the parties except Splan. and shoemaker
rendezvoused at Marshall Ill.
WOMAN HELPS N THE ROBBERY. -
The woman Osgood was dressed in mems
clothes. and wore a black mustache She
was one of the two persons who sprang
upon the engine, and she was standing on
the foot board when Eames the engineer,
was killed.
TAKEN To ILLINOIS.
Ali of the parties above named except the
woman 0sgood and Jack Splan, were sent to
Prairie City, Illinois, the county seat of

still in Jail in this city.

New YORK. Feb. 81.
To the Hon. Francis Herman, Washington, DC:
A telegram to the associated press pub
hShed this morning states that harmonious

Now that they have got the blood out of
their eyes, in a measure, the Indiana repub-
licans discover with surprise that Blue Jeans

fair TO make one OF the best and most popu-
lar governors Indiana has seen this quarter
of century. ani e"ii''i"" az - 2
