Latest as to the shelbyville Tragedy.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYvILLE, Oct. 3.-The new theory of
the tragedy which occurred here on Sunday
morning, resulting in the death OF Miss
Flora Garrett and Maggie Wells, as advanced
by Columbus correspondent of the Jour
nal to-day, is very far from the facts as given
before the coroners inquest. There is no
controversy or mystery as to the origin Of
the fire. The house was fired
by an incendiary and the fire
was first seen at the southeast corner of the
wood-house. The laborer who works for
William Bonfield, on the hill near by, testi-
fed that when he first saw the fire at the
southeast corner of woodshed, it was only q
few feet high. Kittie Wells testified that
when she first discovered the fire it was at
the southeast corner, and that the stairway
which led to the room up stairs, had not
burned away but was on fire, and
she was unable to reach the girls
though she called to them. All the wit
nesses corroborate the fact that the fire
originated in the wood-shed, or at the corner
thereof and was the work of some one un-
known. There had been no fire in tho
kitchen stove since Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock. There was no evidence that Mag
gle Wells carried knife. The knife found
in the debris belonged 10 Madame Henry.
The evidence was all to the effect that tho
inmates had not been drinking during the
evening, The girls had no lamp in their
room and no evidence was introduced tend
ing to show that fact, and no lamp was found
in the ashes. Purdham and Tormelia are no
longer under arrest.

A THEORY OF THE MURDER.

Lafayette Special.
Your reporter button-holed the detective,
and got the theory of the case. 1t is that the
prisoner went there to commit a robbery; he
tried to get the girl to tell him where the
money was hidden; she refused; he tortured
her by cutting her with his knife on the back
and hips. Just then Tom Ford came to the
fence and called the girl tried to answer; he
choked her with the handkerchief that was
about her neck, and which, when the body
was found, was twisted so tight that it had
to be cut off He cut her throat to destroy
the only witness of the crime. The guilty
wretch then fled, and the detectives claim TO
have tracked his footsteps out of the back
door and across the fields. 1t is difficult to
make people believe that Potts is guilty Of
the horrible crime. The man who first ar
rested him, on the night of the murder, said
to the Enquirer reporter that old man Potts
was innocent every indication pointing that
way.

Murder Case

Following Up Another Clew in the atkinson
Murder Case
Special to the indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Oct. 3.-It is no exaggera-
ton to say that there is more interest to-day
in the Ada Atkinson murder mystery than
at any time since her mutlated remains
were discovered by her sister Just ten days
ago this evening. Clew after clew has been
advanced by detectives, and traced in all its
different details, only to be abandoned at
last The fzzle of the suspicion against old
man Potts is what was tenacousy predicted
by many, Notwithstanding the fact that al
legged detectives claimed that the evidence
was overwhelming against POTTS. The latter
is still in custody, and this afternoon was
examined by Coroner Hetzie, of Benton
county, who came here for that purpose, and
to make a few other investigations. The
Journal has already published all
the information that was elected.
There are some additional damaging
circumstance in the case OF the workhand,
Jake Nelling that were first made public
this afternoon. Parties from Oxford were
here to consult as to chemist and micro
scopist's ability to distinguish between blood
from a human being and blood from a swine
1t has leaked out that Nelling was followed
to the house of the woman who does his
washing, and he carried mysterious pack
age which was found to be bloody shirt
If the blood be human, then indeed will
Nelling be most strongly suspicioned, but it
is said that only day before the murder he
ives engaged in marking hogs, and the blood
is thus accounted for. This matter is to be
thorougly investigated. 1t is said the Atkin-
son family do not suspect him, although
large numbers of outsiders believe him
guilty of the crime.

the case on shallow soils, and on prairie
