ago,her body bearing ali tho evidences Of a
desperate n1arder. Her throat was CUT
from ear to ear, her skull crushed and her
arms bore evidence that she had a fierce
struggle with her assailant. Ever since
the discovery of her body the entire COM
nunlty has aided the detectives in a search
for the murderer. 1t was learned she had
been engaged toa young farmer named
Dukes, and suspicion pointed somewhat
towards him, but today a
cham of apparently terminating
circumstances have been wound around her
former employer, Carpenter, which re-
suited IN his arrest This afternoon. The in
vestigation disclosed that Fora had left his
employ and returned to the home of her
father in village near Lincoln. and on the
day preceding her death she came to the
city and paid visit to Carpenters Office.
remaining with him an hour alone. He
was the only person che visited so fer as
known while here. Is to the nature of her
visit Carpenter related story plainly de-
MED by facts subsequently disclosed. It
was also discovered tie dead girl was en-
ciente, and the testimony Of
various parties tended to show
that he had supplied the
girl with money and had written her vari-
GUS letters. A bartender of the Nolte
houss here testifes that Carpenter purchas-
ed from him half pint of whisky on the
day of the murder. An examination of
Carpenters buggy to-day disclosed that
the cushion, lines and shafts were plainly
marked with blood, andron this discovery
a warrant was Immediately sworn out for
his arrest. He was followed to Jail by g.
large and excited crowd. The accused is-
credited with being the wealthiest resident
Of Lincoln, owning large grain elevator
farm near the city end other property.
He has wife and two daughters.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-The sheriff of
Logan county this afternoon applied to-
the governor for leave to call on the mill
tary to assist him in maintaining the
peace and protecting She life of the sup
posed murderer of Fora Burns. The gov
ernor directed the sheriff to use the civil
process and not make,a call for the mill
tery except as a last resort. A correa pom
dent telegraphing from Lincoln tonight
says the place is quiet and now that Car
penter is under arrest there is reYalsion OF
feeling on his behalf, but says if certain
clues now being followed up by the de-
tectives tend to fasten the guilt more GER
tainIy on Carpenter then the presence of
military might prove very essential to
prevent a lynchiDg.
SENATOR sHARoN's PROSECUTION.
San FRANCISCO, Get. 2O.-Ths charge of
od0lfarE
by Miss Aggie Hill, claiming to be his
wife, came up for hearing before Judge
Lawler this morning. An immense crowd
had assembled at the doors of the police
court, and long before the proceedings be-
gan the room was crowded to its Utmost
capacity. Senator Sharon, accompanied
by his counsel, Gen. Barnes, was present.
Wm. 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 morning.
Prior to consideration of the case at
issue, Nelson made statement
that his witnesses had been intimidated;'
that the police authorities had failed to
serve subpoena, and that consequently he
Barnes objected to such assertions, saying
it would be sufficient for Nelson to cite the
instances referred to and enter complaint
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 of his own knowledge
and partly information. He then pro-
ceeded to stay proceeding and that when
he refused he was intimidated; that Miss
Dletz, with whom the alleged adultery took
place, could not be found; and the father
of Miss Bracket, the con-
fidential companion of Miss
Hill, had suddely acquired wealth.
Witnesses called by the defense denied Nell
sons statement, after which the case was
called, charging Sharon with felony. The
prosecuting attorney Immediately arose
and stated was impossible to continue the
prosecution as the statute governing the
case had been repealed, and no longer e1-
listed. Barnes agreed to set aside all tech
nicalities and allow the case to go on as he
wanted the opportunity of obliging the
prosecution to produces the alleged mar
rage contract under which the complaint
had been sworn out. The document was
not produced, nor was the existence of it
admitted. Barnes strongly denounced
the whole business ss q
villanous scheme, the contract as
fraud, lie and forgery from top to
bottom, and the complaint an outrage on
public justice-chiefy so On the defend
ant who was dragged into court on a sworn
charge of felony, and when the case was
called the prosecution abandoned it. Tyler
said he was not aware when the complaint
was made out that the statute had been re-
pealed. The judge said it was 20, and
ordered the case dismissed. The fact that
the prosecution was unable or unwilling to
produce the alleged marriage contract
seems to confirm in the public mind the
original suspicion thet the matter was
started to extort money from Sherman.
