A THEORY OF THE MURDER.

A gentleman who was acquainted with all who
were implicated in the Young MURDER and who
was for years connected with the Jail aud sher-
ifs office. talking to the reporter yesterday,
said: abrams never bought that gun. 1t was
bought by Sike Hartman. Sike drove out to
Cold Springs alone, not to commit the murder,
but to bring back to the city Cravens Hartman,
his cousin desperate character, who lived In
Missouri, and who had been brought here to do
the murder 1t was not intended to kill Mrs.
Young. Young was to have been shot from the
high weeds that would conceal the assassin, and
the Two women would be left to take care of the
body But this scheme dld not WORK When
Young was shot, Mrs Young doubtless saw the
assassin and her death became a necessity, The
man who shot the husband killed the wife, shoot
ing her with revolver, and making the job
sure by striking her with the gun. She was not
shot with the shotgun, as when it

was found 1t was discovered that the second
barrel had failed to explode. A detective who
came back here from Missouri, where he claimed
to have seen Cravens Hartman after the muir
der, said he had bad cut the palm of his
hand caused by the gun slipping through his
hand as he struck the blow whit, the catch that
held the barrels together ploug hing through the
flesh. The theory of the prosecution that
CraVens Hartman was a myth was an unfOr-
tunate one and added difficulties to the case"
THE PERJURY CASE.
Emerging from prison after her trial for muir
der Mrs Glenn for long time maintained be-
coming quiet, but after awhile rumors that she
was again specializing became rife. 1t was the
confidence game over again, borrowing money,
paying enormous interest for a while ands then
when she had got as large amount as she
could, having reached the limit, she would tell
the lender that her projects had failed and leave
tne1n lamentIng. Among these victims were
Miss Lena Miller, Mrs. Eunice Barnes, man
named Cooke and HeZekinh HinksOn. 1t was
Tor perjury connected with one of these trans
actions in which certain notes figured, and which
she swore that she did not have when it was
proved by overwhelming testimony that she did
nave them, that she was sent to the Female Prls-
on Tor four years for perjury.

Habitual constipation is not only one OF
the most unpleasant, but at the same time
enc of the most injurious conditions of the
human system, and is but forerunner

their INN ediate { fleets have passed, they
leave the system in worse state than be-

in the livery stable Kept by George
McFadden at the Central house.
McFadden was afterwards elected

himself prisoner. No persistence WAS Offer
ed and Jesse was lodged in the old jail,

procured horse and buggy, and securing
his prisoner with shackles and handouts

eeuce Offices for work. When robbery was
Effected Mrs. Pfaffe purchased the proceeds
