THE EFFINGHAM MURDER.
The Mystery of Mrs. Esterbee's Murder, and
Her Husbands Alleged Suicide.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 6-No tragedy has
created the stir for years in Canada that has
been manifest since the true history of the
bingham murder has been made public. Mr.
and Mrs. Esterbee lived on a small place near
bingham. They were very unhappy together,
and had frequent quarreis. Both were well
known in the country round about. and as little
was heard of their domestic unhappiness they
were looked upon as contented country people,
and. when last fall they suddenly disappeared
there was much stir in the neighborhood and the
gossips never got tired of talking about the
strange occurrence 1t was first noticed that
Mrs. Esterbee was away just before the frost
came, but her husband was about the house
and his wife's absence did net create
suspicion until relations who lived hear be-
gan to intimate that there was some mystery
about it. In a few days Alexander, the husband,
also disappeared, and as he did not return the
house was closed by relatives In time another
family moved in and in the early part Of this
week while digging in the garden by the house,
the body of Mrs. Esterbee was unearthed.
August and John Esterbee. brothers of Alexan-
DER still lived in the neighoorhood, and public
talk involved them so much in the mysterious
affair that August confessed that ne knew the
story of the tragedy, and said that John had
confessed to helping Alexander kill his wife, and
had then gone with Alexander while the latter
took his own life. This story led to the arrest
of John, and the woods were searched for Alex
anders body. The inquest on the remains of
Alexander Esterbee is now in session before
Coroner Cummins, Of Weand, Ont. John Els
terbee, the prisoner and brother of the suicide,
testified as follows:
''My brother and / came to the spot where he
is buried, and he shot himself [ laid down be-
hind log while he did it. In twenty minutes /
came back and cut his throat l don't know
whether he was dead or not. l was so excited.
He dug his grave before the shot fired, and
after cut his throat buried him, as promised
him | would Alexander told me he had killed
his wife, and was sorry for it. AS he expected
he would be hanged, he determined then to kill
himself, and was to help him, and if he failed
| was to finish the job. We ate dinner together.
and then started out with the shovel We talked
for three hours before he shot himself. Then /
threw the revolver into the pond. He told me to
tell the folks he had skipped / have been out
to see that the grave not disturbed, l
promised him would do. did not know he had
killed his wife until three days after her death,
when he told me he struck her in the stomach,
and then ciioked her to DEATH" August Ester
bee who furnished the first information, claimed
that John had told him that ne helped kill the
wife, but John now denies that part of the
story. The prisoner is cool, but does not look
