A NUMBER of heightened young ladies
and gentlemen of Glasgow were ar
raigned before magistrate in that
place recently, and fined for disturbing
public worship. The offense consisted
of writing notes and talking in church
during service. A professor in one of
the colleges made the complaint. A
little such discipline in many of the

Investigation of the mystery surround
ing the murder of Henry w. Smith,
whose mulitated body was found in the
barn of the Franklin House in jackson,
resulted in finding evidence of the most
damaging character against James
Halstead.
The day following his arrest his mis-
tress was arrested, and visit to her
room revealed the bloody garments of
the murdered man. The woman
acknowledged that the clothing had
been brought there by Halstead.
He was confronted with the blood
stained garments, and for o moment
his stolidity seemed to forsake him, and
he hoarsely exclaimed that he knew
about the murder, but that he did not
strike the fatal blow. He refused to say
more al that time, but Tuesday he
confessed the whole of the
hellish deed--told how it was done, and
who helped him to do it.
About IL o'clock the miserable man
was brought into the court room. The
information was read to him and he
was asked to plead guilty or not guilty.

the man Henry w. Smith but / know

blow was struck, and the other man
called to me, Jim, come here and help
and went and took hold of his feet,
but l lacked courage and strength to
carry the body, and I dropped it twice
before we got to the she'd"
The Court-'Did you know Smith
was to lie killed."
Prisoner-"I knew. 'He' said be
would do up Smith II he didn't settle up,
but | didn't know he was going to kill
him then; but he did while / was hitch
ing the horse"
He was asked IL he wanted counsel,
and he applied in the affirmative. j.
A. Parkinson was assigned as counsel
for the guilty. man, and stated that he
considered the plea of guilty a proper
one.
Halstead again pleaded guilty, and
Judge Gridley ordered the room cleared
and had five minutes conversation
with the murderer Halstead, when
officers and reporters were admitted
and the court ordered witnesses to be
sworn.
Policeman Snyder swore that Hal
stead and another man made arrange
ments to kill Henry Smith about Jan.
70. Smith was induced to 90 out to
where Halstead lived, in Summit. AZ
ter getting there Smith was killed with
an AK by the other man. The body was
kept out there in the hay in the shed
until Halstead moved into the city, when
the body was brought into the barn
where it was found, and put upstairs.
After time 1t was taken down and put
into the manger where 1t was found.
The other man brought the clothes to
Halstea1. Didn't know how much
