he did in fact give her but three hundred.
The detective has since come to a disgraceful
and untimely death. The community was

that a ms jority were against the Door, penni

and he was drawn up until nearly dead, to
try to e1tort a confession from him, but
without avail. This shows that even the
prosecutors entertained serious doubts as to
his guilt. Coovert made bis debut as a
criminal in connection with this Roosa
affair. Prior to this he mad been looked
upon as an innocent, harmless, half-witted
fellow. For all these long years since the

that the wrong man died on the scaffold.
There were inconsistencies in the
testimony of Mrs. Roosa even.
At the different examinations her descrip-
ton of the murderer's appearance did not
correspond. Many think that the person
who entered the house came for the purpose
oil committing more heinous crime than
that of numbering for money. Only small
sum-a very few dollars were taken by the
criminal.
The near future, it is believed, has some
developments to make, when startling and

A Bet rh.t Daniel Webster Lost.

IBoston Letter to the Hartford Courantl
Here is an authentic story of debt that
Mr.. Webster incurred and psid: He was
coming on the boat from New York in 1874.
and letter had just been published with
the signature of James G. Birney, announc-
ing his Withdrawal as candidate for the
presidency in favor OF Henry Clay. Mr..
Webster was the center of gathering who
were congratulating themselves upon its ap-
pearance. Into this circle stepped promi-
nent Liberty party man (wbo is still living
and one OF the best known figures in Boston,
with the denial OF the authenticity of the
letter. Mr. Webster haughtily drew him
self up and declared he had no doubt OF its
genuineness.
s'But personally know Mr.. Brney," said
the abolitionist, land he is incapable OF
writing such letter"
Some more words passed, when Mr.. Web
ster said, 81 will bet you forty pounds it is a
genuine document"
"rll take that bet," was the instant re-
joinder.
When the boat reached Boston, dispatch
was found there stating the letter to be a
forgery. Mr.. Webster acknowledged that
appearances were against him, but, as the
dispatch announced that some kind of a
letter had been written. he asked the gentle
man to wait to see what 1t was before the bet
was paid. A day or two after, when the
the letter had come. and proved to be en-
tirely foreign in character to what was
represented, Mr.. Webster's oppo-
nent went to the great mans offire
to confront him with the testimony
You have fairly won," said Mr.. Webster.
and, reaching to a pigeon hole in his desk,
took down two new hundred dollar bills and
paid him. The gentleman was astcnished
at Websters prompiness and apoiogizsd for
taking it That's all right" said MIR. Web
ster, "it's fairly yours" The gentleman,
who was poor man then, Immediately pro-
ceeded to pay a debt with il. This debt he
owed for borrowed money received from a
very distinguished Boston merchant one of
Mr.. Websters intimate friends, TO whom be
went and cancelled the Obligation, telling
the story how he came by the means to do
it. The merchant looked at the bills with a
meaning smile and said: Those bills were
my money only a few hours ago." He was
one ~ a few capitalists here TO whom Web
s.er always resorted when in need.
