this place in 1878, lived an old man NAMED
Mosely, who was quite wealthy. That year
he married Miss Ida Mosely, third cousin,
fifteen years old. Not long after the wed.
ding Mosely ascertained that his bride
loved his wealth more than him. The re.
suit was quarels without number. In
December, 1879, Mosley and his young
wife, who was really quite child, had
their last quarrel. During It's progress he
informed her that BIZ was going 10 make
his will, and that she would not be named

he told his wife what he had dime. The
next day he stayed at home. That night
about 0 o'clock some one called him to the
door and shot him dead. The murder ere.
ated agreat ideal OF excitement, aud the
excitement was increased by the great mys-
terry. MIRA Mosely diverted suspicion, II
there was any pointing toward her, by
offering big reward Tor the murderer, but
1t did not lead to his capture. The will not
being completed, the widow received the
largest share OF the estate, and all went
smoothly until a few weeks ago, when she
made statement in court, during the
winding up OF the estate, which aroused
suspicion. The case was worked up and the
men were arrested and jailed in Abbeville.
One OF them gave the officers a pointer in
the case, by which Hughes was located in
Georgia. It now develops that the widow
hired three men tn do the killing.

SENATOR sHARON,s CASE.
Charges OF Bribrry-Proceeding In tn
Case DISMISS by the Court.


San FRANCISCO, CAL, October 20-The
charges OF adultery against Senator Sharon,
preferred by Miss Aggie Hill, claiming to
be his wife, came up for hearing before
Judge LawIer this morning. An immense
crowd had assembled at the door Of the
police court, and long before the proceed
ings began the room was crowded to its
utmost capacity. Senator Sharon, accom-.
panied by his counsel, General Barnes, was
present William Nelson, the complaining
witness, on behalf OF Miss Hill, was assisted
by G. W. Tyler. Miss Hill was not present.
The examination occupied the entire morn
ing. Prior to the consideration OF the
case at Issue, Nelson made motion
that his witnesses had been intimidated;
that the police authorities had failed to
serve gUbrpaas, and that consequently he
was unable to produce them. General
Barnes objected to such assertions, saying
it would be sufficient for Nelson to cite in
stances and the law would know how to
deal with them. By permission OF the
Court, Nelson was allowed to continue his
statements, which were partly from inform
alton. He then proceeded to say that he
had been offered money to stay the pro-
cesdings, and that when he refused he was
intimidated that Miss Dietz, with whom
the alleged adultery took place, could not
be found, and that the father OF Miss
Bracket, the confidential companion OF
Miss Hill, had suddenly acquired wealth.
Witnesses called by the defenRe denied
Nelson's statements, after which the case
was called charging Sharon with felony.
The Prosecuting Attorney Immediately
arose and stated that 1t was impossible TO
continue the prosecution, as the statute
governing the case had been repealed and
no longer existed! General Barnes agreed
to set aside all technicalities and allow the
case to 20 on, as he wanted an opportunity
OF obliging the prosecution to produce the
alleged marriage contract, under which
the complaint had been sworn out
The document was not produced,
nor was tue existence Of 1t admitted.
General Barnes strongly denounced the
whole business as villainous scheme,
the contract as q fraud, lie and forgery,
from top to bottom, and the complaint as
an outrage on public justice, chiefly 30 on
the defendant, who wa1 dragged into court
on charge OF felony, and when the case
was called the prosecution abandoned it.
Mr.. Tyler said that he was not aware
when the complaint was made out that the
statute had been repealed. The Judge said
such wGs 30, and ordered the case dismiss
ed. The fact that the prosecution was un.
able or unwilling to produce the alleged
marriage contract, seems to confirm in the
public mind the original suspicion that the
nAttar waa gtartad to eHtoFt money from
Senator Sharon.

"I know nothing more than everybody
else does about politics, and less than
many people. But there Is one thing that
Democrats should keep in mind. While
people are hunting around for outside
causes for the result OF the Ohio election
the real reason is lost sight Of. This, in Q
nutshell, is that the people are tired Of the
rule OF the Republican party. That same
cause will carry Pennsylvania, NV fori
