With the aid of Mr.. Williamson, whose
daughter was frightened into making q
partial confession, Davis finally learned
the hiding place of the fugitives. lie

time his anger had cooled somewhat, and
he gave reluctant consent to the mar
riage on condition that the two runa-
ways would at once return to Delaware
Place. The minister had not arrived
and Myra and her lover went back to the
house in triumph. The wedding took
place short time afterward and was the
seven days talk of Wilmington.
In very little while the couple left
Delaware place forver, and Mrs. Whit
ney commenced her long battle in the
courts-not for the 500, 900 held by Col.
Davis, but for the property in New Or
leans, already worth countless millions,
and with the result of her work the
world is acquainted. 1t is not little
singular that at the death of Col. Davis
his heirs-at-law came nearly being de-
frauded out of their property in a way
similar to that adopted by those who
sought to secure Daniel Clark's immense
estate, among whom was Davis himself.
In the Clark case, Mr.. Clark's business

The Alleged Murder Case in
Scott.


More recent accounts from Estillville
present In different light the case
touching the death of Mrs. J. A. Brick
ey. Our information in the News of
the 10th Of July was current on the
streets Of that town, and were uncon-
tradicted, but we learn that those reports
were Inaccurate. 1t seems not true that
any suspicion had attached to the pres
ence Of another woman In the house and
that no trouble had grown out of it,
She was merely there to assist Mrs.
Brlckey to whom Mr.. Brickey seems to
have been very kind husband. The
physicians testified that the skull Of de-
ceased had been cracked and that there
was cash over one eye. But other tes-
timony goes to show that she had fall
before her death and that it might have
produced the Injury to the head. The
physicians also testify that there were
many apparent bruises on the body of
the deceased, but the ladies who dressed
the body for burial affirm there were
no visible bruises on the body except the
ono above the eye. The impression
seems now to prevail that though Brick
ey was bailcd In $1,000, case cannot be
made against him.

Guiteau's Jail Life.
HE IS scRIBBLING ON HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY
AND is SAID TO DE GROWING MEANER
LOOKING.

Guiteau Is employing n great deal of
his time in jail now in writing, and has
stopped talking. He Is writing, it is un-
derstood, the life of the man who Is, In
his estimation, the greatest man in the
world-Charles j. Gultcau. He expects
to have It printed some day In the news
papers. lie Is now, It appears, quite
anxious to have the President live, sew
eral weeks of meditation In Jail having
convinced him that there Is little glory
and less pleasure IN being hanged. A
gentleman who has had several opportu-
mites of seeing him recently, said to n
Star reporter: "Ie Is the meancst look
Ing man | ever saw, and he seems to
grow meaner looking every time see
him. His features are regular enough,
but there is hang-dog look about him
that never saw about any other man.
Such mean looking eyes never saw be-
fore. His pictures ilattcr him. He looks
lust what he is--a beat" Gllteau does
not like the prison fare much. lie wants
TO have his meals sent to him from the
outside. As he has no money this, Of
course, could not be done. His expert
ence IN the Tombs In New York, II Is
thought prompted the demand to have
his meals sent In.
Guiteau recently wrote long letter
TO Judge Wylic, who Is now ont Of the
city, asking TO be admitted to bail. The
letter discusses the case, Of which he
gives n history, claiming that II is a ball
able case, and also on the question Of
bail he suggests that $1,000 issulllclent,
and expresses the belief that If the court
would fix the amount at that sum he
might be able TO procure it.-WAsnNo-

The Presidents Wound.

1t is said to be demonstrated by the
electrical instrument that "thc ball is
lodged at n point five inches below the
navel and three and n half inches to the
right of the median line"-in other
words, In the lilac fossa-and that 1t is
only an inch and half from the surface.
This, it is said, confirms in all respects
the theory maintained by DR.. Bliss. -
DR.. Bliss theory was that the ball pass
ed through the liver, traversed the alb
dominal cavity and lodged somewhere
in the abdominal wall--he could not say
where. 1t Is now proved that 1t never
touched the liver, that it never was in
the abdominal cavity, but that it passed
around behind the deep muscles and
lodged where II is found, in the abdomi-
nal wall. If this sustains that theory it
must be through very elastic use Of
words. 1t is clear enough now that the
Presidents wound is one that would not
have kept him of his feet fourteen days
If it had been well treated in the begin
ning.-N. Y. HERALD.

60. O. d.

One Of the most striking instances on
record of doing business on the sc. o.
d." plan is that of the small boy in
Ohio whom woman hired to help her
to commit suicide. She wanted to hang
herself, but not having witnessed many
hangings was afraid She might make such
u botch Of it as n country sheriff gener-
ally does when he performs an eXocu-
ton. Having noticed that the person to
be hung does not adjust the moose
around his own neck, but has somebody
to do 1t for him, this woman hired the
small boy to moose her. For this SER
vice she agreed to pay him one dime
SO mean was she, however, that she
tried to dodge the payment even of this
incOnseQuential sum. The boy wanted
the money before putting her head in
the moose. She said It would be time to
pay after she was noosed. Had she been
more prompt in her pecuniary relations
with the lad she might have accomplish
ed the desire of her heart. The shrcwd
youngster, seeing he was to have his
pay &C. o. D." and fearing to trust to
the risk of being able to collect the
amount out Of her estate in case of her
demise, craftily made believe that the
moose was about her neck. Then with
kick and spring she leaped from the
soap-boX which had been her temporary
standing place and expected to find her
self swinging in mid-air at the end of
the rope she had rugged. In this she
was fatally disappointed for instead of
swinging herself Off she simply fell
hcadlong on the floor, smashing her
nose in II frightful manner. The Ohio
youth is pleased that in his carly life he
has thus inaugurated the &c. o. D."
method Of doing business. Had he
this sinful woman he would not
only have lost the dime he strove to
earn, but would have got himself into a
peek Of trouble. lie was firmly resolv-
ell that the Ohio matron shall not again
on any terms secure his service rs an as
sisl0nce to suicide.
