on purpose to be killed. If such was
not the case, why did the girl bring him
here at all, knowing, as she says she did,
that Albright had threatened his lifeY
Why, If such was not the case, did AL
bright borrow an extra pistol ON antici-
patton of Miller's coming.
Perhaps j have already occupied
more of your space than you will care
me to use, but wish to say In conclu-
sion, that hope neither the detectives
throughout the country nor our home
officials will lessen their vigilance, for
they may rest assured that the murderer
of w. X. Miller Is still ui,burjed at any
rate. Should he be caught and tried
the public will be much wiser on many
points that now seem obscure.
WATTS.
The verdict of the jury which held
the first inquest, which our correspon-
dent calls farce, is singular doeu-
ment, but no more singular than many
other points in the case, but we give 1t
below so that our readers may form their
own opinion fit.
Perry County, ss.
An Inquest indented and taken in
Watts township in the county of Perry,
bIt tbD ubJ vi fihkuSbs III bAiC JCoh VI Jul
Lord 1879, before A. E. Howe, ESQ.,, one
of the justices of the peace, in and for
the county aforesaid, upon the view of
the body of Samuel K. Albright, late of
Buffalo township, county aforesaid, then
and there lying, on the oaths of Jacob
Wagner, Thos. M'Elvy, Harry Wright,
George w. Frank, Isaac Straw and II.
M. Shrauder, good and lawful men of
the county aforesaid, who being duly
sworn and affirmed and charged to in
quire on the part of the Commonwealth
when and where and how the said Sam
uel e. Albright came to his death, do
say on their oaths or affirmations, that
the said Samuel T.. Albright, not hav-
ing the fear of God before his eyes, but
being moved and seduced by the insti-
cation of the devil, on a day unknown
in the year aforesaid, at an hour un-
known, at Watts township, at what is
known as Girty's cave, and being then
and there alone, with certain revolver
of the value of SIS, which he placed to
his right temple, then and there with
the revolver aforesaid, voluntarily and
feloniously, and of malice aforethought,
shot and killed himself; so the jurors
aforesaid say that the said Samuel e. AL
bright then and there in manner afore-
said as felon of himself feloniously,
voluntarily and of malice aforethought,
himself killed, shot and murdered him
self against the peace and dignity of the
said Commonwealth.
In witness whereof, as well the afore-
said Justice of the Peace, as the Jurors
aforesaid, have to this inquisition put
their seals on the day and year and at
the place just above mentioned.
We are also informed by another per-
son who is reliable that he noticed the
bad smell while passing the notch on
Friday, the day after the murder, and
his wife noticed it and spoke of it to
him, when she passed on the Sunday
following, which was only three days
after the murder. These reports are
from such source that we are COM
PEELED to believe that the corpse found is
not the remains of Albright.
There are two other important points
developed by the inquest that seems to
make the doubt as to the corpse being
Albright's still stronger. One is, the
knife found in the pocket and recogniz-
ed as his was not rusty, and the other is
that the hammer of the pistol rested on
a cap that had not been dischdrged.-
This latter fact would render it certain
that it was not case of suicide with
that pistol.
Iuniata County We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
Mr.. Henry Limbert, of Susquehanna
township, dropped dead at his residence
last Tuesday evening. His age was II
years, months and 10 days.
On Friday morning last, two freight
trains collided at the lower end of Pat
terson, destroying about fifteen empty
freight cars, and badly using up one of
the engines. Nobody hurt. 1t seems
an impossibility for one train to pass
another on the same track.
On Tuesday evening, the 11th inst,
while Mr.. Henry Limbert, an aged and
respected citizen of Oriental, this county,
returned to the house from his work on
the farm, apparently in his usual good
health he dropped down dead, just after
having entered the house. Cause, heart
disease. 1t is somewhat singular that
Mr.. Limbert, having been married twice,
lost both his wives in the same way.

lowing from the Cumberland papers
