More About the jackson County Horror.
JACKSON, Mich. NoY. 22.-Fnrther
investigation N connection with this
mornings murder shows that Crouch
slept in the alcove opening into the sit
ting room near the front part of the
house. His daughter and her husband
occupied the front bedroom, while in
another bed room, opening also into the
parlor, lay the remains of Palley.
Crouch was lying with his face TO the
wall ana hadia bullet hole in the left
side OF his head, two inches back of his
car, the ball passing through his brain.
Death was instantaneous. White was
shot twice, the ball entering the right
side OF the neck, three inches below the
ear. EEe was discovered lying on his
back as if peacefully sleeping. His wife
was shot five times and made a hard
struggle for life, as is judged by the pO-
sitIon of the arms anu disorder of The
clothing. There were two balls through
the right arm, one through the LEFT, aud
one in the right breast into the lungs,
one through the chin and neck, and an
other In the lett wrist. Palley was shot
twice, one bali entering the eye and
passing directly into the brain, the seq :
ond passing through the chest from the

The sheriff believes the shots were
fired by one person and one revolver. as
number of empty cartridges were
found on the floor all showing the same
calibre. There are conflicting rumors
regarding the use of chloroform Ply
sIcians claim none was used, bat this is
opposed To the theory of one person do
ing the butchering and the testimony of
the first neighbOrs at the scene, who
claim that the smell of chloroform was
suiTocating. The young negro Boles
was arrested and jailed to await the re-
suit of the cOroner's inquest, which will
be held to morrow.
Crouch was worth abont 100000 in
property IN Jackson county and sheep
ranches near Fort Worth, Texas. He
leaves two sons and one daughter. A
pocket book containing S105 and GER
tificate of deposit for $500 was found on
wIndOw-sill. An empty cartridge
