death without a struggle. He then
killed the oldest child, a boy, and he
died easily also. In killing these two.
however, he awakened the two Youngest
children, and the little girl begged him
not 10 hurt her. He told her it would
do no good to plead with him, for he
was there for the purpose of killing her,
and with the cruel hammer he made his
word good. The baby was smiling in
his face when he lifted it out of bed and
crushed its head with one dastardly
blow, All this the monster has told
over and over again with laughter and
smiles, as though he were repeating
some story from Harper's Drawer" or
of like nature.
After Killing Them,
he SAYS, he went out, scooped out the
shallow grave and carried them out to
burial. He took the neither first, then
the two elder children at one load, and
then the murdered babe, carrying it by
one leg, as if were dead pig. He filed
in the earth, pulled some straw over it,
and then set about cleaning up the few
blood spots that showed the evidence of
his crime. Having arranged all this to
his satisfaction, he cOolly proceeded to
cook his breakfast, and says he never
ate a heartier one or one that he enjoyed
better. He then gave out to the neigh
bOrs, as above, that Mrs. HarlesOn had
taken the children and gone to rejoin
their renegade father in Texas. and he
told the story in such straightforward
manner that
The People Believed 1t
without further question. Correspon-
dents have interviewed the wretch on
several occasions, but they can see but
little change in his demeanOr. He has
carried the same smiling countenance,
the same careless, Indifferent bearing,
and the same air of of reckless bravado.

also TO have killed several other
persons, but has not clearly defined
these facts for the reason that when up
on the point of making confession he
sold TO a certain politician OF the State
his whole confession, TO be published az
ter death, and then refused To reveal
further facts. II is known, however,
that his first murder was that OF young
man named Crawford, some three years
ago. He was travelling with him at the
time in the northern part Of the State.
They both drew pistols, and Richards
killed his companion and left him where
he fell. Another one he murdered was
a young man whom he killed two years
ago, Just outside of the city OF kearney,
and whose body he
Buried Under Railroad Bridge.
The bones of the man have been disn-
TERED since Richards arrest, but who
he was is not known. He says he has
revealed other murders to his biOgra-
pher, but this is doubted, and it is be-
lieyed by some that he only makes these
statements TO make it appear that he is
a greater desperate than has been
proved to be by the above terrible reci-
tails. The world is well rid Of such mon
sterS.

A BRAVE GIRL.
Thieving Tramp Put to Flight.

CINCINNATI, April pa tramp en-
tered the residence OF q. II. Kitchen, q
farmer, near Lebanon, D., yesterday
morning, during the absence Of the fam
lily and began searching the bureau,
where a large amount OF money had
been placed. Carrie Roberts, young
girl domestic who was in the upper part
OF the house, heard the noise and dis
covered the tramp at work. She ap-
preached him unobserved, suddenly
clutched him by the hair with one hand
and endeavored to wrench the box OF
valuables from his grasp with the other
hand. Finding her efforts unavailing,
she released her hold, sprang upon q
chair, secured revolver from the top Of
the clock and fired at the tramp several
times in quick succession. The latter
dropped the box, ran to the yard, scaled
the fence and escaped. Upon examina-
ton it was found that nothing OF value
had been taken.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Its Observance at Augusta, Ga


AUGUSTA, April 26.-Memorial day
was observed by the suspension of bus
iness and parade of the military. The
monument was decorated with garlands
and the statutes of Lee, Jackson, Cobb
and Walker, crowned with laurel
wreaths. Major w. 7. Gary delivered
a national and patriotic address. In
conclusion he said: Let us begin our
work with that heavenly inspiration
which teaches the creed OF forgiveness
and peace. Let us remember that
bravery ceases to be partisan when
death stamps it with his seal. Let the
sky above typify the mingling of the
blue and gaay. Let us remember the
graves of the dead heroes OF our whole
country. Let us forget as we would
that it should be forgiven and forgotten.

No Cline 10 Cohen.

MILWAUKEE, April 2G.-No clue has
been obtained to the whereabouts OF
Alexander Cohen, the absconding in
surance agent and forger. The German
Exchange Bank, which holds about
$1,000 of forged paper, has offered a
reward for his apprehension. Photo
graphs of Cohen have been sent to the
police of all the leading cities. On ex-
animation of the papers in Cohen's safe
there were found about thirty blank
notes with forged endorsement, few
of them filled out for $1,000 and $1,000.
His sudden flight has probably saved
the bank and individuals from additional
losses of many thousand dollars.

went by the name Of Alexander Mas. He
has served term in the penitentiary for
forgery. BE was tried in the Hastings
Court January s, 1877, for forging and ut
tering q check for 500 drawn In the
name OF A. NJ. Harrison on the Citi-
zens Bank. Moss alias Mas went to the
house OF ID. U. Davis & Co. and purchased
liquors-which were not delivered-to the
amount OF S90.35, and secured S9.65 In cur
rency. The check was marked in red ink,
/" Good,' and underneath that word the in
itias "P. L." or "P. H.'' Afterwards,
upon being taken to the bank for payment,
the officers said that Mr.. Harrison kept no
account there. Moss was then arrested,
with two other parties, who were charged
with being accessories. He was tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary. During his incarceration his
fdemeanor was 80 good that six months
OF his term were commuted. 1t is also
stated that he practiced his profession
Of cook while there, and made some money.
He won by mis- attractive ways the sympa-
| tbies OF several ladies who visited the peni-
tentiary, and they were instrumental in get
ting his sentence commuted. he left the
penitentiary about two months since, and
position was secured for him in New York,
which it is said he forfeited, and went to
circulating counterfeit money. He was
forced to fly from New York, and returned
here again to practice the fraud above de-
scribed.
A warrant will be issued for him to-day,
and Mr.. Jennings, in company with an
officer, will leave on the O'Clock train this
evening to bring him on here for trial.
