The Noted Crouch Tragedy Wherein
 Murder Ran Rampant.

The Noted Crouch Tragedy Wherein
 Murder Ran Rampant.
 JACKSON, Mich, Nov. 14.-After ten days work a jury to-day obtained in the noted Crouch murder case. About a year ago Jacob D. Crouch, 8 rich farmer, was mur- dered in his house, as was also his daughter Mrs. White, her husband Henry White and guest named Moses Policy, hailing from Pennsylvania and cattle buyer by profes- sion. After long inquisition Henry Hol- comb, son-in-law of Crouch's, and Judd Crouch, son, were held for trial charged with the murder, and the jury obtained to- day is to try Holcomb, the defendants being granted separate trials. Some time after the inquest began one Foy, young friend of Judd's who served him also as hired man, armed himself with a revolver and wen to Union City for the purpose of shooting Mayor Eaton, postmaster and editor of a paper there, who had printed some severe charges about the case. Foy made mistake in his man and shot Eaton's deputy postmaster. He returned to the Crouch farm house in Spring Arbor town ship where he and Judd were living, and as the officers seeking him approached the house he shot himself dead or was shot by others The inquest said he shot himself, but many do not believe it. Later detective named Brown was shot in the body and he charged Judd with doing it, but the charge has not been sustained. Still later Daniel Holcomb's wife died under circumstances that have given rise to much suspicion. The case against Holcomb and Judd Crouch is mostly based on circumstantial evidence and the theory of the prosecution is that the murders were committed to get hold of certain valu- able papers which have never been found since the murder. The wealth of the par ties, their social standing, the prevailing atrocious circumstances and the awful train of events which followed the tragedy com bine to make it the most remarkable case in the criminal records of Michigan. It is be- lieved the trial will occupy two months or more

 BOSTON, Nov 14-At 10 o'clock last night a wretched looking woman of fifty, bedrag gled and begrimed, clad in rags yet wearing the remains of a costly bonnet, staggered to the rail of station 15 and in tipsy accents said: "Aliee has come again" This woman was once the belle of Charlestown with ad- mirers by the score.

 INDEPENDENTS IN THE CABINET. The Gosslps Mapping Out A Hard
 Road For Cleveland.
 BOSTON, Nov. 14.-A Washington special in discussing the chances of President Cleve- land calling an Independent to his cabinet says: FtNews has reached here that the lead ing Independents, Curtis, Schurz, Deming and many other anti-B1aine men in the Re publican party in New England, are begin ming to protest against being placed in the position of expectants of favors of any kind 1rOul Gu0 D0uUCTdI1C tion. One of the most prominent of these gentlemen has written here to an official that their warfare on Blaine was to teach the Re- publican party the lesson not to nominate ob- noxious candidates. .Itwas not to destroy but to save the party that Blaine was defeated Besides it is argued that for the Independent Republicans to merge themselves into the Democratic party would be to utterly destroy their usefulness in the future. Therefore to take office from Cleveland would give pfausi- bility to the charge of having entered into bargain and sale with him. It is claimed Schurz and Curtis are very emphatic in maintaining this position, and that while they hope Clevelands administration will be fully up to his pro mises and all they have maintained it would be, they prefer that he rely upon his own party advisers for success. Republicans claim that if Schurz and Curtis are in earnest in this position Cleveland will have hard road to travel, as what are known as the pure and simple Democratic leaders of the North such as Thurman, Mcdonald, Randall PendIeton, Hewitt, Abbott and Eaton can never harmonize with I the extreme bourbons of the South who it is feared will make demand that the conserv- l tive clements of all sections will never sane I tion. Of course these are the speculations of l the hour and are likely to change between now and November Al

THE CASE OF MINISTER BRUCE.
His Previous Experiences In Lunatfs
 ASYlumA.

ASyIumSs
 LONDON, Nov. 14-In the House of Com 1 mons tonight William Joseph Corbet, mem l Der for county Wicklow, Ireland, interro- gated the government as to the case of the American Bruce, confined in the Brookwood | lunatie asylum, who claims to be sane and entitled to liberty. Rt. Hon. Sir William l Vernon Harcourt, home secretary, stated in
 reply that the government was not yet fully advised as to Bruces case, but would make ! complete investigation. A United Press ! correspondent visited the Brookwood hsy- 1 lum to-day and was courteously received by | the officials, who stated that they had no wish to conceal any of the facts in the case. Bruce had always been a nuisance to them. He was harmless, but full of delusions es- pecially on religious subjects. He was ad- 1 mitted to the institution on October Il from | the Lambeth poorhouse in the ordinary 1 course of such transfers. The record of his ! case showed that he had been an inmate of 1 an asylum in Ohio in 1876, from
 which he escaped and subsequently, l spent seven months in the Washington, | D. o., asylum, from which he was taken
 by his friends after an apparent improvement
 in his condition. On his admission to the
 Brookwood asylum he was very garrulous
 and told many rambling and contradictory l stories of his life. He asserted that he was
 being persecuted by the Protestant church
 because of his religious views as unorthodox.
 One of his notions was that his persecutora
 sought to make him insane by the use oi
 drugs. In 1881 Bruce wrote to the 1unacy
 commissioners from the Lambeth institution
 claiming that he was unjustly detained 4
 special inquiry was ordered and the fact O
 his insanity was established During his
 confinement Bruce has written an elaborate
 treatise on the cause and cure of insanity
 He has never received any visits except ont
 from an old negress in 1875 Tn,
 correspondent was permitted to talk tt Bruce, who conversed in manner whicl did not indicate an unbalanced mind, excep
 that his statements were hardly credible He was born he says in Marlboro, Windhan
 county, Vt., in 1917. His grey hair falls il ringlets about well shaped head and hi : face is intelligent. He states that he has n, relatives in' England. A brother-in-law il . America wanted him to sign quit clain deed giving his property to his sister, an, upon refusing to do so he was driven out o ] America by the Freemasons at the instanc | of his two brothers and the brother-in-laW Bruce bitterly denounces the asylum official l. | for his continued confinement after his yo : untary return from his recent flight and vis 1 to Minister Lowell. He feels confident ths the latter will secure his release.
