One of the most atrocions crimes ever
committed in Dorchester county, Nd,
was brought to light last Thursday. Miss
Celia Bush has been noted for over thirty
years as reelusc, anu was Il very pecu-
liar woman. Five years ago she was
married to man named Murphy, who
was much younger than she, and was
credited with having married her for her
money. After living together three
months, Murphy left the woman, and WAS
not seen again until few days ago. The
woman lived alone on the farm. Her
house is in the center of a dense clump of
WOODS, almost inaccessible to pedestrians,
and she has been the sole inhabitant Of it
since girlhOod, except during the brief
period of her married life. She very sell
dom left her secluded place, and worked
the farm herself. 1t was not unusual to
see her blowing, and as she drew all her
money from bank years ago it was gcncr-
ally accepted that she was very rich. She
was never known to spend a cent OF
money, subsisting wholly upon corn
bread and bacon-the product OF her farm.
Last Thursday morning Charles Spcy,
colored, went to the house and found Mrs.
Murphy's horse and cart standing I'M
litched in the yard, and the cart loaded
with wood. Her bonnet and shawl were
also found lying OH the cart. The wheels
of the vehicle were deeply sunk in the
mud, and the horse, weak and gaunt
with hunger, was standing kncc-dccp in
hole made from long and continued
stamping. Other evidence Of neglect i'll
dictated that the horse had been standing
several days and nights. The door of the
house stood open, and after calling and
getting no answer he became alarmed,
and went to Williamsburg, where he
made known his suspicious to Mr.. w.
Grason Smith. Mr.. Smith and Spey I'M
mcdiately went over to the house and ell
tered, finding the door had been already
forced. Chests and drawers were found
broken open and papers scattered over the
floor and Mrs. Murphy missing.
Mr.. Smith gave the alarm, and an or
ganized search was instituted, resulting In
finding the body lying in dense part Of
the thickct, about quarter of mile from
the house and about 20 yards from the
road leading through the woods. Tracks
where the body had been dragged from
the road were also visible. The impress
sion is that Mrs. Murphy had gone to the
forest after q load of wood, perhaps on
Monday or Tuesday afternoon, and that
she was intercepted while on her return,
near tie edge of the woods, murdered and
her body dragged further into the thicket.
Two colored men have been arrested,
charged with murder.

miles from Austin. AT Il late hour OH

deliberately proceeded to the wOod-shed,

being given, posse of one hundred men
set out OH the trail OF the murderer, and
he was captured at an early hour on Mon
day morning. lie was then marched back
to the scene Of his crime, and, being idcn-
tilted by the children who witnessed the
murder, was taken to Il neighboring wood
and ordered TO prepare for death. Seeing
that he had no chance for mercy, he con-
fessed Ills guilt, whereupon fire was at
once kindled, and the unfortunate muir
dercr was made TO, cxpiate his crime by
one still more horrible-that of being
roasted TO death. No arrests have been
