DAYS since; the other. rcd and light

Said she IL think could identiiy

THE RING AND LovE-LETTERs'
Miss Kenny further SAID: am
satisfied Cluyerius did not give her
the ring THAT she usually woreI. She
never todd me that ho did not, but
il he had given it TO her ! am convinced
she would have told me so, as she re-
yealed many of her little love affairs to
me. She had no other ring to my
knowledge. Nor do know OF Gu
yerius ever having made her any pres
ents Of jewelry. She brought several
books from Richmond on her return in
January. which she told me, " Cousin
Tommie Cluverius gave me while at my
aunt's" (Nrs. Tunstall's). | do not
know if there were any name or names
written in them. She lent them to
Mrs. Hyde the day before she left.
THE PRISONERS LETTERs--A REEVE
LATION.
Yes, / see Cluverius denies corre-
spending with her. As far as my know
ledge goes, said Miss Kenny, she got on
an average a letter week from him.
| stayed at Mrs. Dickinson's two weeks
during Lillian's residence there, and she
got three letters from him during the
time. She read many of his letters to
me, and some of them were brimful of
love.
What became Of those letters? was
asked.
She told me the day before she left
that she intended to burn them, as some
misfortune might befall her before her
return, and in that event they would
perhaps fall into the hands Of her mo-
Their, and rather than risk that she
would burn them.
LILLIAN BURNING HER LETTERS.
At this juncture Mrs. Dickinsons
little daughter, who was present with
Miss Kenny, said: Yes; | was in
her room the morning she left. She
was sitting before the fire with her
apron full of letters. She read perhaps
half dozen, and then threw them all
in the fire. saw her pack the canvas
bag, but did not see her put any letters
in it,"
THE SCH0OL-HOUSE.
In going from Mr.. Kenny's to Mrs.
DicknSon's ! passed the little school
house in which the last days of Lii
liam were spent as teacher. 1t is a
neat log house Immediately on the
south bank Of the Cow-Pasture river,
and looking east commands a most
beautiful view Of mountain scenery.
TALK WITH MRS. DICKINSON.
found Mrs. Dickinson at her beauti-
full home, on the opposite side and within
a stones throw Of the river. She con-
versed quite freely on the subject. The
handkerchief Miss Madison used most
frequently was Of dark red and of
medium size. She had another given
her Christmas don't remember the
prevailing color. never read any let
tiers from Cluverus, but she frequently
told me she had letter from Cousin
Tommie," and that her aunt was better
or not 30 well, as the case might be. ]
am satisfied that she got letter as
often as once a week from him. She
burned large quantity of letters the
day she left, and | am convinced that
his were among them.
HER COUSIN TOMMIE.
When she expressed a desire to 60 to
see her aunt (Mrs. TunstalD in January
| (Mrs. Dickinson intimated that it
would be imprudent for her to take so
leng a journey alone. She said that her
Cousin Tommie Cluverius had pro-
missed to meet her in Richmond and ac-
company her to her aunt's, and of
course could urge no further objec-
ton. When she returned she said
Cousin Tommie met her, and came
back to Richmond with her and put her
on the train, and that her aunt paid the
expenses of the trip.
THE BOOKS; NO MARKS.
rode over to Mr.. Hydes's to exam
inc the books given Lillian by Cluve-
RUS when she was in Richmond in
January, but there was no mark on
them to connect them in any way with
the prisoner. One was Opening Of
Chestnut Bur" the other volume Of
"Ogilvie'S Popular Reading" Both
had been read by Lillian, as was shown
by marginal notes in her handwriting
and marked passages.
LILLIAN AND EAST LYNNE.
One marked passage in East Lynne
was " / have nothing to tell you but the
worst. May God support you, dear
Lady Isabel"
THE FEELING.
While the intense excitement pro-
duced in this vicinity by the terrible
tragedy has somewhat subsidized, the
feelings Of our people against the muir
derer are bitter in the extreme, and
each days paper is eagerly sought after,
hoping to hear of the development Of
some new evidence.
