PITrsBURG, March 19.-This forenoon De-
tectiye Mocssmer noticed two men acting sus-
picious1y. One OF them handed the other gold
watch, and told him to pawn it. Both OF them
we're arrested and taken to the Mayors office,

name was Thomas Haston, and he was arcsi-
dent of West Union. Ia, where he owned a
farm. He also said be came from Columbiann,

ters in his possession seems to intlmatc that he
left under cloud. He claimed that the watch
had been purchased By him, and that the chain
had originally belonged to his father, now

CRIME.
BILL YOUNG.

Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune.
KEoKuK, H., March 15-Ihe interest IN Inc
examination OF Bill Young for the Spencer mur-
der ut Luray, Mo-, is on the increase from day
to day, and is already greater than at any time
since the murder, not excepting the arrest and
trial Of Willis James for the crime. Laura
Sprousc, who was emDloyed as Ioung's house
keeper at the time Of the murder, and who has
given the most damaging evidence against htrn,
is proving troublesome witness for the de-
fepse to handle. She is saucy and de-
fant, and answers the attorneys about
as she pleases. She has been under
rigid cross-examination for two days and has
never contradictcl herself or retracted any OF
her statements. She is an eccentric Individual,
and the examination is bringing out some OF
heruueer freaks. Il number OF letters Which
she wrote to Young during his absence last 1all
have been introduced. These are alternately or
an afIectionate and reyepgeful temper. In some
she expresses the most ardent love for him, and
in others deDounces him in the most scathlnS
terms for having deserted her. In one OF
these letters she drew rude sketch
of tombstone and inscribed thereon nn
imaginary epitaoh for herself. These letters
are pelng used by the defense in an attempt to
show that Mrs. Sprouse and Young were en-
gagged to be married, aud that her testimony in
this case is in retaliation for his failure to carry
out his part of the agreement Mrs. sprouse
| testifes that they we're never engaged TO be
t married. but that they talked about marrying,
ana she encouraged him in order to get him to
tell her about the Spencer murder. She
| gave an account Of a journey
| she and Young took 4 short time
| previous to the murder, IN which they. crossed
the Spencer place Young has repeatedly stated tat I'd
| previous to the murder. The ross-examination
Of Mrs. Sprouse will occupy at least TWO days
more, and the trial fully another week. Several
| witnesses were introduced to-day to prove that
Young had said at various times that he could
| put his hand Oh the Spencer murderers, and
| when the reward offered vas large enough he
would do so. 1t is probable there will be some
new Developments in the case outside
the examination ere long, rs others were imp'l-
Gated in the affair, and q movement is on foot
to secure their arrest The Anti-Horse-lhiet
| Association have taken hold Of the matter
again, and there is now rivalry between them
and the detective in ferreting it out.
