ACCUSED or A DOZEN MURDERS
Alleged Disappearance of Union Men I'm
Virginia During the War.


Virginia During the War.
PETERSBURG, Feb. 2.-The arrest of
Elijah Wease, aged 70, for a murder COM
mitted twenty-four years ago, has result
ed in some astounding revelations. The
father of Wease was one of the most des-
perate characters in Virginia. On one
occasion he fastened the doors of the
house in which his son Elijah then lived,
and then set fire to the building, intend
ing to destOy his sons family. Soon after
this he killed brother in a fight. He was
arrested, but on the way to Jail he spraDg
into the POtOmOc river and was drowned.
TEE son "Lige" early began his career
OF blOodshed. Twelve murders are charged
up against him, to six of which he con-
fesses. Ault, for whose murder he is now
under arrest, was his second victim, the
first being Phil. Yokum, halt~witted
neighbOr. Yokum's body was found in
lonely spot on the mountain. Some time
afterward the dogs belonging to the neigh
bOrs brought home the leg and arm OF a
man. Search was made, and at the foot
of a preCipice known as 1.-The Leap" the
remains of several human beings were
found. One or two were identified as those
Ofmen who had mysteriously disappeared
from the neighbOrhOOd. After the killing
of Ault, Wease was arrested and taken
from one Jail to another until released by
the Union soldiers at Harrisonburg. He
then returned, and remained until the
close of the war, killing, stealing and
burning in company with two confeder-
ates. Wease now says that he killed
Ault and all the others because they were
Union men or Tories, as he called them.
He says that he met Ault in the highway
and said: ''I've killed one hog to-day and
will kill another" He then shot Ault
dead.
A description of the death of young
Coffman, of Burgett's Hole, Hardy cOun-
tv, Va, shows how all the victims were
disposed of. He was seized, bound and
gagged and carried to the Leap There
five minutes were allowed him for prayer.
While engaged in prayer, without warn
ing. he was thrown over the cliff, falling
a distance of nearly 200 feet. Over this
same cliff ten other human beings were
cast. all of them well-knOwn citizens of
thaf region. At the close of the war
Wease went to Rock Gap, Va, where he
remained until his return to Grant county,
two wears ago. Wease is so much In his
dotage that he either does not remember
or will not tell the names of all his VIC
tins, and several days will elapse before
full list is obtained.
