g have just come home from the coroner's
inquest on the body of Linnehan, which has
been in session since Sunday Ilorning and
which | have been obliged to attend as | was
summoned as witness, and more cruel,
cold blooded affair never was perpetIated.
Just think of mother and two daughters
planning for weeks to take the life of hus-
band and father; one Of the daughters steal
ing up behind him while he sat reading, and
putting a revolver close to his head sending
him to eternity without a moments warning
while the other stood in the bedroom door
Watching her perform her devilish work;
then one of them going out and breaking the
window TO give the impression that it was
done from the outside; Of their looking the
corpse over to see that he was dead, SURE;
and after getting everything arranged, OF
their going to the neighbors to alarm them,
and you win know something of what have
| listened to this afternoon, even to the minut-
est detail There was young man by the
name of Bureh who worked for them last
fall and got rather intimate with one Of the
girls-Annie think with the old lady
Three weeks ago last Saturday he came out
thers and gave them his revolver to shoot
him with Mrs. L. kept it in her bed, in
tending to use it il she ever got a chance, but
her heart failed her. A week ago Mrs. l..

Thursday. On Saturday evening Mr.. l.. went
to the lyceum as usual and got home about
eleven Ten minutes after, Maggie shot him.
Burch was summoned as a witness Sunday
day morning and came out with Neil and
Jordan. Although there vas but little evil
dence against him he was arrested, and Mon
day morning | took a search-warrant and
| went TO his room in the 0sceola House where
| found two letters from Annie to him, in
which the whole business was revealed.
You never heard such swearing as was done
by the old lody, Bridget and Annie They
knew of no quarrel or anything about it.
But when the lawyers showed her letters to
Annie she broke down and told to the minut-
est points of the whole affair. Maggie was
then put on the stand but had divulged
nothing when came away.
