MURDERED FoR HIS MONEY!.
A Tragedy in Michigan Resulting To Confess
sion and n Life Sentence.

sion and Life Sentence.
A Detroit special says A murder
with some peculiar accomplishments has
lust been unearthcd at jackson. About
week ago the body Of an unknown
man was found under the manger in an
unused barn on back street in that
city. The skull had been crushed in by
heavy blow from some blunt instru-
ment. Rats had eaten away portions
OF the body, and il was evident that
the man had been dead several weeks.
nv means OF a deformity in one Of the
arms, the identity Of the murdered man
was established two or three days later.
His name was Henry W. Smith, an I'M
married man, about thirty years old,
who had been missing more than two
months. but whose absence had not cx-
cited much alarm among his friends, as
he was of a rowing disposition. lie
had been engaged in various kinds of
business az various places within the
past few years. lie was last in part
nershp with a married man about his
own age named James II. Halstead,
and engaged in the teaming business.
Ii was ascertained that Smith sold
the teams before his disappearance,
but the harness and other appur-
tenances Of the business were found
in the possession of Halstead. who ex-
planned the fact in plausible man
ner. His reluctance to state all the
facts, however, several attempts at
evasion, and some proved suppressions
led to his arrest. He stoutly main
tanned total ignorance as to the author
Of the CRIME, but the officers so dill
gently followed up one clue after an
other that this morning llalstead con-
fesscd the crime when confronted with
new additional evidence. He stoutly
insisted that he did not strike the fatal
blow, although an accomplice, but that
another man whom he named, and who
is now in Jail, did. The general belief
is that this part of the confession is a
lie, uttered in the hope Of securing a
mitigation Of sentence.
According to Halstead's confession,
Smith was killed on a farm rented by
Halstead, a few miles from jackson. on
January Goth, the object of the murder
being the money which the victim was
known TO have in his possession. He
was killed with an axe, and his body
taken 10 the barn and hidden in the hay
NOW. A month later lIalstead moved
into the city. He dared not run the
risk Of discovery by leaving the body
where it was, and accordingly it was
brought into the city and taken to the
loft Of the barn, where it was found.
Subsequently lIalstead became uneasy
over this disposition Of the body and
took and hid it away under the manger.
The barn had not been used since the
early part Of the winter, and the dis
covery last week was accidental and
consequent upon the cleaning out Of the
premises. Under the advice Of the cOun-
sci assigned him by the court Halstead
came into court after making his con-
fession, pleaded guilty to murder in the
first degree, and was sentenced to State
prison for life.

A FRIGHTFUL PLUNGE.
A Prisoner On a Lightning Train Dives
Through u Window and Escapes.

A Philadelphia pa special says
While the Pacific express, which left
New York at o'clock Saturday night,
was speeding along at the rate Of forty
miles an hour, and as it was passing
through Morrisyille, on the Pennsylya-
MIA side Of the Delaware, about 10
O'Clock. William Ii. Browning,
handcuiIed prisoner, who was pro-
ceeding to Wes;ehester to answer
a charge Of bigamy, dashed head
long through car window an
escaped. Browning was in charge Of
Deputy-Sheriiis Hopes and Baker, of
Westchester, in this State. He is
coachman by occupation, and lately
lived at No. 1874 Third avenue, New
York, and was acquitted in the General
Sessions yesterday upon an indictment
charging him with assaulting his young
wife Margaret, who appears to be Mrs.
Browning No. ., the lawful wife being
at present resident of Westchester.
Browning sat handcuiled in a seat
directly in front of the two
deputy sherifTs. While the train was
running between Morrisville and Penn
Valley Conductor Jones appeared to
collect the tickets. Just as he reached
the seat on which Browning sat, the
latter hastily arose, and the conductor
stepped aside to let the man pass, and
in doing so got in front of the West
chester officials and completely blocked
their passage. Browning instantly
mounted the seat on the other side of
the aisle, and placing his manacled
hands above his head dove through
the window. This act was such a
bold and hasty one that many of the
passengers did not know what had
occurred till the matter was explained
TO them. An attempt was made to
stop the train, but this was not accom-
plished till il had reached Tullytown,
four miles away from where the prisoner
jumped. The deputy sherifls then
alighted and walked back in the dark
TO where they thought Browning had
left the train, but not trace of the
prisoner could be found. The search
was kept up all Of last night and to-
day, and all that could be found was
Browning's hat. Browning has re-
Gently figured quite conspicuously
in police circles in New York. He
was married in Philadelphia in
January last to an accomplished
girl, with whom he afterward went
TO reside in New York. The man
obtained employment as a coach
man with John j. Rutter, the
well-known banker, OF No. 500
Madison avenue. He was insanely
jealous Of his wife, and whenever he
left the house for any length Of time he
nailed down the windows and placed
padlocks on the doors. Whenever she
went out, which was seldom, he accom-
panied her. The neighbors say she was
always richly dressed, and had a grace
full bearing and lovely face. Her beauty
was of the blonde type, but her face
was seldom seen, as she wore veil
continually.

Time is Of immense importance in
lighting pneumonia. An hour wasted
is often fatal in its consequences. There
fore never triae with moments on such
occasions. Keep the patient in pure,
equable atmosphere, and use prompt
prescriptions Of DUFFy's PURE MALT
WHIsKEy, with proper personal care,
and you will have done more than an
army Of doctors could accomplish a few
hours later. No case was ever lost
under such treatment. The best fsmi-
lies keep it regularly in the house, and
any reliable druggist or grocer can sup
ply it for 81 per bottle.

A Cleveland special Of the l4th says !;
Lawrence Barry, thirty-two years OF
age, residing with his parents at No. 81
LYMAN tlrect. threw himself in front oil
q moving engine about noon to-day, re-
ceiying fatal injuries. About ll:5V
o'clock Barry was seen walking at the
side Of the Lake Shore railroad track
near Alabama street. lie appeared TO be
walking along leisurely, and no attention
was paid to him. A switching train APP
preached where he had stopped for an
instant, but he apparently paid no heed
to it. Suddenly. as il drew near, ne
stepped upon the track and walked to-
ward the approaching train. The train
men and engineer thought that he was
preparing TO cross the track, and con-
seouently did not check the train. AS
the train drew nearer and the engineer
saw that there was no disposition on
the part Of the man to get off the track
he sounded his whistle and shouted.
Scarcely had the sound died away when
Barry rushed directly upon the engine,
throwing himself across the track. The
engine crushed down upon the unfor-
tunate man, the wheels passing over both
legs near the body. Before the train
could be stopped the train-mcn, who
had jumped from the cars to render
him assistance, were Mortified to see the
victim making frantic efforts 20 drag his
mapgled body still further under the
cars and place his head upon the rails.
He was taken out before this could be
accomplished. He was conscious and
began to talk. He said he wanted to
die and that he was tired of living.
This is all the excuse he gave. He was
taken to the City Hospital. lie cannot
