the most hopeful now regard it as certain that

of Summit township, and Moses Policy aged 26,
of Transfer, Mercer county, Pa) were found
murdered in their beds, all having been shot
through the head, behind the ear. It is sup
Of struggle appeared. Each victim was lying
as if asleep, and the odor of chlorofrom was
noticeable when the bodies were discovered.
Mrs. White was also shot through the left arm.
No clew has yet been discovered, al
though tracks around the house indicated that
a guard was placed while the murder was being
perpetrated. Crouch is wealthy farmer living
seven miles southwest of Jackson, and the owner
of an extensive sheep ranch in Texas. 1t is
rumored that he had just receivad about $4,000
from Texas in payment of sales made on his
ranch. Bankers here state that no
money was deposited by Crouch and
it is presumed the money was in
Crouch's hands. Policy Was stopping at Crouch's,
having just come from Texas with a large
amount Of money for the purpose Of buying
blooded stock. The theory is that he (Polley)
was followed from Texas by the MUIR
derer or murderers for the purpose of rob-
berry. The house was thoroughly ransacked
and everything of value carried away.
young girl, an adopted daughter Of Whites,
and negro aged 18, were sleeping up stairs.
They say they heard no firing, although the
negro says he heard humping noise about the
middle of the night, and thought it was caused
by fierce wind which was blowing. Mrs. White
was expected to become q mother in week or
ten DAYS. The murder has caused intense
excitement, and hundreds of people flocked to
the horrible scene. The officers are very quiet
upon the subject but are hard at work trying to
get clue to work upon. Crouch slept in an
alcove opening into the sitting room, near the
front part of the house. His daughter and her
husband occupied front bed room, opening
into the parlor. In another bed room, opening
also into the parlor, lay the remains of Policy.
Crouch was laying with his face to the WALL and
had a bullet hole in the left side of his head,
two inches back of the ear. The ball
passed through the brain, and death was
instantaneous. White was shot twice, the ball
entering the right side of his neck three inches
below the ear severing the artery. The second
ball entered the temple near the right eye He
was discovered lying on his back as if peacefully
sleeping. His wife was shot five times and
made hard struggle for life as judged by the
position of the arms and disorder of her cloth
ing. Two balls passed through her right arm,
one through the left and one through the right
breast into the lungs, one through the chin
and neck and another through the wrist
Policy was shot twice, one ball entering the
opening of the right ear directly into the brain.

ing he directed that the vessels guns be taken
out and she be filled up with provisions. When
the Yantic returned to St. johns, she had three
months supplies for 1923 men. General Hazen
was recalled and read a letter in response to the
inquiry what he intended to prove by the
witnesses he desired to summon. The substance
of the letter is that their testimony before the
court showing that the conduct of the chief
signal officer in connection with the expedition,
had been carelessly and incompetently per-
formed. and tending to give the impression that
he had been guilty of culpable and almost
criminal neglect of duty, as failure, would
deservedly subject him to general court
martial. He claims the right to have witnesses
summoned by whom to prove beyond reason
able doubt that he neglected none OF his duties,
and his work was we'll done to the last
in every detail aud in all particulars.
