The Act Caused by the Refusal of the Su-

the Charge Against Him.
SUICIDE IN PRISON.



Col Robert M. Goodwin Ends His Life by
Taking Poison.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
New ALBANY, July 2--Col r. NJ. Goodwin,
confined in the southern Indiana penitentiary, at
Jeffersonyille for the murder of his brother, Dr..
Goodwin, at Brookville, Franklin county in
May, 1880, died in the prison at 10 o'clock this
morning. By some means unknown to the
prison officials, Col Goodwin came into possession
of bottle of hydrate of chloral He swallowed
the contents of the bottle some time during last
night When discovered by the guards, this
morning on his bed in his cell, he was sinsensible
and all efforts of the prison surgeon to resusci-
tate him. although they were vigorous
and well-directed, failed. His body has
been placed on ice, by order of his rela-
tives, who win arrive at the prison
tonight to take possession of it and convey it to
his old home at Brookville for burial The coro-
ner, in investigating the suicide, has utterly
failed to discover how the poisonous drug came
into Goodwin's possession.
Colonel Goodwin had been very Respondent
during his incarceration in the prison Being a
man Of brilliant attainments and fine culture, he
deeply felt the disgrace of his situation, and it
for his crime. His case had been in
the Supreme Court on appeal, and
Che court recently decided against him.
confirming the Judgment and sentence of the
lower court. On Monday night hewas informed
of this decision of the Supreme Court, and
doubtless then determined on suicide rather than
pass the remainder of his life in prison He
wrote letter to Warden Howard, which was
found in his cell, in which he disposed Of his
effects. In this letter he made no reflection upon
his relatives, some Of whom, in his judg
ment, had bitterly prosecuted him. Col Good
win was an attorney, and was brilliant at one
time in his profession, but strong drink was his
bane, and under it he fell very low. Finally
some Of the relatives and friends had him sent to
the State Insane Asylum, and he never forgaye
them for this He was especially vindictive to-
ward his victim, Dr. Goodwin

A MICHIGAN MURDER.
A Story of Illicit Love, Followed by the
Murder Of Husband

DETROIT, Mich, July "A fresh murder has
just been completely unearthed in Ionia county.
Two or three years since man named Wander
burg, aged forty y-fye marred girl half his age,
the step daughter of a man named Scott, with
whom he lived and for whom he worked The
couple continued to live with Scott. After a
while trouble was engendered by undue inti-
macy between Vanderburg's wife and Oscar
Scott young man, the son of Vanderburg's
employer. In January last Oscar and Wander
burg left home in search of employment in the
lumber camps in the north woods In few
days Oscar returned and reported that Van
derburg had left him. but he had no knowledge
where he had gone. The wife, about the same
time, gave out that her husband had deserted
her About the same time she removed to Ed
more, montcalm county. Nothing special was
thought Of the matter until last week, when it
was accidentally discovered by some former ac-
quaintance that Oscar Scott and Vanderburg's
wife were living together, and had been SO living
since the latter's removal Suspicion was at once
excited, and officers began to push inquiries as
to Vanderburg's whereabouts They traced
him to Edmore where he disappeared from view.
Yesterday afternoon a half-flled we'll was dis
covered on the premises occupied by Scott, and
the officers began digging in it to see what
could be found. Scott, who up to that
time pretended to know nothing whatever about
ter, quickly drew a revolver and shot
himself This act confirmed the sus-
picions of the cficers, who proceeded
more vigorously to the work of excavating,
which soon resulted IN bringing the body of the
murdered man to light, with unmistakable evil
dence of the fact of murder Scott lived but
short time, The wife confessed the fact of the
murder, but there is no probability that she had
