THE AR MSTRONG MURDER

PETER EpP UPsETs THE ALIBl IN THE
CASE.
On Wednesday afternoon, Immediately
following the sensation produced by the res
port of Hunters attempt to poison Graham,
District Attorney Jenkins and Sheriff Daub-
man came to Philadelphia and at the Ger.
trail Station met Detective Yoder.
The trio then proceeded to the residence
of Mr.. Peter Epp, the witness who was 90
positive in his assertions that Hunter had
been at his place on the night of the tragedy,
the 33d of January about the time the
murder of Armstrong was perpesrsted iu
Camden.
By some means, through the relatives of
Armstrong, the officials had been apprised
that Epp was SO weakening" In his first
statement, and It was for the purpose Of
obtaining complete denial that Jenkins,
Daubman and Yoder visited Epp at his
place of business on Oxford street.
They found him there, and asked hin If
be was not mistaken in bis first statement,
and he replied that he was. They asked
him II he was willing to be qualified to that
and to make an affidavit.
He gave his consent, and person duly
qualified by the laws OF Pennsylvania then
administered the oath.
"You say that Hunter was at your house,
bnt not on the night OF the 23d, when
Armstrong was murdered ?" asked Mr.
Jenkins.
"No, it was the afternoon before, Tues
day, the 22 )" replied Epp.
How do you recolect that ?" was
asked.
Because" replied Epp, "I made out a
bill for party on that afternoon, and I
recollect the two circumstances together"
"Why then did you say before that Hun.
murder % q
because to the best of my recollection
thought that was the time, but never Was
willing to swear to that"
"Was Hunter at your place again 90 was
the next query.
"He was. He came Into my place on
the morning Of the Oath an , said "Good
morning 7"
~ thought that was a joke and didn't
mind it. He said:
81 would like to take a walk, ;" and we
started out together. On the way he told
me about Armstrong, and said he had got
In row over In Camden and had been
knocked 10 the head. Hupter said;
" would like yon TO 60 with me and sec
him. He lives at No. - Seventeenth street.
After we got to Armstrong; house we met
young man whom I suppose was Arms
strong's BOD, and several other persons.
Hunter introduced me and said, i" This Is
Mr.. Epp, he knows me, l was up to bis
house last night, wasn't 1 Mr.. Eppp Ire
piled yes" then went home abou. my
business"
This concluded Mr.. Epp's story, and he
signed the affidavit, which District Attor-
ney Jenkins placed in his pocket, and, with
sheriff Daubman, returned to Camden.
The secret of Epp's affidavit was conaded
TO Armstrong; relatives, aud other parties
interested In the case, and in this way 1t
leaked ont.
Detective Yoder, Sheriff Daubman aud
District Attorney Jenkins declined to say
anything abont tue affidavit this morning,
Mr. Epp also declined to talk.
