Readers of the Sentinel will no doubt 70.

sions referred to the organization known as
The "Union Veteran Association" In the

organization the announcement was made
that it vas on its last legs; also that ]. r.
Perry, its able President, had been instructed
to infuse new life into it in any manner that
he saw bit. Joseph readily understood the
task, but it comes to light that he bit off more
than he could chew, for the "U. V. A" has
died peaceful death, and never more will it
be resuuected, il the statement of one of the
members is to be believed.
There was 70 have been q meeting of

that he has attended all of the conferences
of the ~. V. A" since il was organized,
this dog evidently takes great interest in
military matters, and naturally enough he
felt bad when be arrived at Judge Walkers
Court room and found that none OF the other

himself near the window, however, to wait,
and was growing very impatient, when a

TIE ST. LOUIS MURDER MYS Terry.
No case in the annals OF crime has pre-
sentsd more entertaining features for detect
i've investigation than that of the discovery
OF the corpse in the trunk at the Southern
Hotel, st. Louis. Two men, both English-
men, apparently friends, strangers, both in
the city, and so the more spprecatiye OF
each others comHanionship, occupying
rooms in common with the familiarity of
brothers, no political animositiss between
them, both educated and cultivated, and yet
after the departure of one the body OF the
other, Hteless for days, is found locked with
in his own trunk. Had the late associate OF
the deceased been low, coarse crestu re
whose poverty and brutal instincts might
naturally prompt him to commit murder
for money, there woald be no violence In
promptly believing bin the murderer. But
Walter III. Lennox- Max we'll is said &c be q

could have no reasonable temptation to COM

the peril to his own life from
taking the life of smother. It appears in
credible that such an one would, In state
OF sanity. commit sn act which, while for
ever disgracing him and his family name,
subject him TO the halter. Il seems most
improbable ard next to impossible that such
q man could have become q vsnton and

And yet every known circumstance tends
to fix the murder of C. Arthur PreIler upon
Maxwell. he was Preller's sole companion.
Shortly after evidencing being in a financ ial
straight by endeavoring to pawn or sell his
watch. he was seen to have money in abun-
dance. He sought TO make change in his
personal appearance By having his whiskers
removed And the lay folio wing that when
Preller was last seen alive, he purchased q
railroad ticket to San Francisco. The chain
OF circumstsntial evidence is of a character
to almost compel the conclusion that in the
person of the English noblsmsn and seeming
friend existed fend capable OF an stroclty
which in Its Preparation rivals in diabolism
any that society has ever known. The
case will attract intense interest until
the detective profession has settled
ii beyond quetion that Maxwell was
guilty or innocent of the murder.
