Arson to Conceal Murder.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, March 19.-At1 a. m
last Thursday morning house In East Kart
ford was burned and the charred remains of
the occupants-two maiden ladies-named
Elizabeth and Hannah Judson, found in the
ruins; Within two days stories have been in
circulation that the women were murdered and
the house fired to conceal the crime. An in
quest was instituted today in East Hartford, at
which 1t was shown that one of the ladies was
found with large cloth in many folds tied
tightly about the throat, which was SO saturat-
ed with blood that it kept the neck and chest
OF the lady from the flames. The jury heard
testimony all day, but little was elected
which would indicate clue to the perpetrator
OF the murder. Another session of the Jury is
to be held. 1t is believed the deed was COM
mitted for the purpose of robbery, as the un-
fortunate women we're supposed to have con-
siderable money in the house. A negro named
Brooks johnson who was employed by the de-
ceased, but who lived in Hartford, has been
under suspicion, but no definite evidence Of
his guilt has yet been found. He and his wife
assert he was in Hartford on the night of the
ire. A tall man was seen in the vicinity a
short time before the fire, and receipt given
to deceased recently was picked up in the
street near the house next morning.
