THE sHARPLEss MURDER.
New Charges Against johnson, Who

says HRe Expects TO Hang.
Special Officer Alexander of the Third
police district, Philadelphia. returned from
Media Monday night with more evidence
against Alexander, the negro, who is in
the Delaware county Jail, charged with
the murder Of Farmer John Sharpiess of
Neither Providence Township. At the
house of Carrie Lane, in Philadelphia,
where Johnson was living at the time of
his arrest, there were found q spirit level,
coal, two razors, a razor strop and some
clothes which it was supposed was stolen
property. search was made for their
owner. He was found Monday in the
person of Lewis Lewis of Upper Darby,
relative of John Lindsay, whose barn
was burned at the time OF the Sharpless
murder. Lewis ia butcher. His
house was robbed on Saturday,
November 2sth. The robher WIS
disturbed in the midst of his
work and fed, leaving thicl, poker, %
feet long, which got wedged 6otweel. a
sofa and wall in such way that he had
no time to extricate it and the coat. In
the pockets Of the coat there was big
hole, which showed that the poker had

coat, such as the venerable Mrs. Sharp
less described as being worn by the
murderer. Officer Alexander thinks that
the poker was the weapon with which
the kind Quaker, Mr.. Shnrpless, was
killed. The identification of the property
by Mr.. Lewis, who is careful man, was
complete.
There has been rather change of sen
timent in Media on the subject of the
murder. The people who declared that
because johnson was arrested by outside
detective talent, that lie mus necessarily
be innocent are now beginning to eoncede
that circumstances are against him.
johnson told Warden Baker of the Media
Jail, that he expects to be hanged for the
murder. The farmers pocket-book found
on johnson has not yet be unidentified. A
woman has been found who, it is said
gives the police Information tending to
show that the prisoner was near the scene
Of the murder at the time it was com
mitted.
There is lots of evidence coming out tc
show that johnson is thoroughly bad
man. 1t has been shown that during his
stay near the Sharpless farm he used t.
make periodical raids on the verundahs Of
his neighbors and steal their rocking
chairs for tiruwood.
