The Journal of this city is deserving of a

WAS 1T SUICIDE OR MURDER?
A Suspicion that Watson N Clarke Did Not
Kill Himself

Coroner Maxwell has begun official investi-
CATION of the circumstances attending the death
OF Watson N. Clarke, whose body was found sus-
pended by a rope around the neck from high
fence in the rear of the Public Library on Satur-
day night. Yesterday ]. W. Barry, an attorney,
of Cardington, o., where Clarke lived, came here
20 look into the matter. He reported that the
dead man had left there on Friday last, his des-
tinatlon being Riverside, Fountain county, In
diana, where he has son living. His trunks
were checked through to Lafayette, but for some
unknown reason, he stopped off here When he
left home he drew $3.50 in cash from the bank
where he did business, and he had besides some
other money with him. When his body was found
here, a solitary nickel, was all that was found
upon it. Mr.. Barry also said that Clarke was a
man Of exceedingly temperate habits and good
character, having, in fact, been minister the
greater part of his life He also had considera-
bic means, and his friends were utterly at a
loss to account for his suicide, If such it. was,
and they suspected that he had been murdered
for his money. AS soon as these things were re-
ported TO Coroner Maxwell. he autographed to
Lafayette to have the trunks sent back here
and determined to hold pOst-morJem inquest to
determine whether or not the man had not been
killed with a sand-Dag, as there was slight
bruise on the head. The examination was made
by the coroner and Dr. Tay Tor last night, but re-
suited in the discovery of no causes for the
mans death, other than by choking. A
search among his personal effects also failed
to reveal anything unusual. When the body
was cut down the face was not at all discOlored,
and it had natural expression, which is also re-
garded as evidence that the man did not commit
suicide. Merchant Policeman Bacon reports hav-
ing noticed suspicious actions on the part of an
unknown man in the alley where the body was
found, and an effort will be made to find him.
Altogether. the death of Clarke Is attended
with considerable mystery, and it is by means
sure that he was not murdered.
Morris Clarke, of Fountain county, of
the dead man, telegraphed yesterday evening
that he will be here on the first train. HIS
fathers remains will be kept for his disposal

Although I made equatorial mounting, with

further test of my own ingenuity. l made
circles of heavy tin-plate, nicely graduated

eleven and one-half inches diameter. and

a Christian Gentleman in Possession of
Valuable Volume.

Valuable Volume.
Erie (Pa.) Special.
Three years ago an Associated Press dis
patch from Louisville, KY, stated that an
agent of the British government was nego-
tating with a lawyer of that city for the de-
livery of a book, for every copy of which
81 900 reward was offered by the crown The
book was The Memoirs of George w." con-
tanning startling revelations of the private
life of that licentious monarch, and contain
ing alleged proofs that an obscure person
ought to be wearing the crown of England.
The memoirs were printed in 1882, and war
of determination was waged against it by
the royal family. The Louisville lawyers
copy was presumed to be the last
extant, but few days ago Mr. George Watts,
a naturalized citizen of Northeast, near here,
while searching an old newspaper file for a
legal notice, came upon the Associated Press
disDatch, and remembered that he had pur-
chs ID the memoirs and brought them to the
Stat i'll 1881. Ransacking an old trunk he
unea.thed the book, and has donated the
prize to a protege, John Firsch, of r le. a
leading member of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, who to-day mailed letter
to Gladstone, informing him of the recovery.
Recognizing it's value for black mailing pur-
poses, INSCRIPTIONS parties want Firsch TO
sell it to them, their game being to reprint
1t and open negotiations for the destruc-
ton of an entire edition instead of single
copy. Being a Christian gentleman, Firsch
has refused to let it go for such purpose.
