vas arrested eaIly in the afternoon by
Constable Ellis, his former partner In
business. The srrest wAs made soue 20
feet inside the Maryland line a, arm re,
sisted and In the scufi dragged the con.
stable over into Maryland, but the
ofaosr held on and brought his prisoner
back into Delaware.
Hearn was taken before 'Squire Tyre
and given q hearing on charges Of break
ing mp the family OF Turpin and abduot.
ing his wife. The charges were not sus-
tanned, and he was released. Mrs.
Turpin was the principal witness. She
swore that she had gone away Of her own
free will, and not at the instigation OF
Hearn; on the contrary, he had coun.
seled her to stay st home. The hearing
developed that some people who have
had great deal to say about this case
knew very little when called upon to
testify.
Afser the hearing Turpin proceeded to
"sweAr his life" against Hearn, but being
unable to prove that the latter had ever
threatened him, he withdrew his oath
and HeArn was set at liberty.
Mrs. Nancy Shears, an aged lady living
near here, died on Saturday, and an In

visible in the early part Of the eclipse
which was gradually ocoulted by the on
coming boty Of the moon.
