CHANGED HIS MIND.
The Suicide and Horrible Death of
@- Miss Olive Carlisle.

Miss Olive Carlisle, residing at No. q
Chapman street, Boston, has for two
years been receiving devoted attentions
from Frank Samuels, a young man of
good habits, who lives in Waltham.
She returned the affection which he
lavished upon her, and year ago they
became engaged to be married. A fort
night ago the lovers officiated as grooms-
man and bridesmaid at wedding at
the Peoples church, and, emulating
the example Oftheir friends, they de-
cided to be married themselves last
Friday. At noon the guests were as
sembled, and the minister awaited the
entrance of the bride and dgroom. They
came in together and took their posi-
tions before him, but before he began
the ceremony Samuels roughly cast off
from his arm the hand of the bride,
and, turning away, exclaimed:
II won't marry her! l can get wife
who is purer and better than she is"
Before the astounded guests recover
house. The bride went into Mysteries
and tainted. She was taken to her
room and medical aid summoned. An
hour later she escaped from her attend
ants, and at five O'clock she was found
on the sidewalk on Tyler street; she
was senseless and moaning feebly.
At the city hospital she recovered
consciousness, and said she had taken
ten cents worth of oxalic acid dissolved
in water, and when this produced no
immediate relief, she bought five cents
worth of liquid acid and drank it raw
on the street. She died a horrible
death. Samuels has not been seen since
he left the church.

Execution of VIM. Coffee at Craw-
fordsville.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, Oct. 49,
Especial. VIM. Coffee, murderer of
Mr.. and Mrs. McMullen, was hanged at
1925. The rope broke twice, and he
strangled to death at last. 1t was u ter
rible sight. He acknowledged his
guilt on the scaffold, but was nearly
dead from terror when swung off.
CoFFEE's CRIME.
On the night ol January Z, last, Coffee
went to the house of James McMullep
and wife at Elmdale, this county, and
shot McMullen, Drained his wife with
an AK. He then robbed the house of
5000 and all available clothing in it, and
went away after firing the house to con-
zeal the crime, Coffee was arrested and
made a sworn confession that he alone
did the deed. Two weeks after he made
a second confession, also sworn to, in
which he stated that James Dennis did
the killing, and that he burned the
house. Dennis was arrested and both
were found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced to be hanged
September 4. Dennis always protested
his innocence, and many believed the
jury found Dennis guilty on Coffee's
statement alone. Afterward Coffee
made new statement to his two spirit
ual advisers, Rev. c. S. Jackson and
Rev. J. T. Phillips to the effect that
James Rankin, father-in-law Of Dennis,
shot and killed McMullen and wife.
His third confession" was to the effect
that the party met near McMullen's
house and the first thing done was by
James Rankin, who fired four shots,
which took effect in the bodies of Nc
Mullen and his wife. The party then
ransacked the house, and, bundling up
the bedclothes and other articles of val
stle, carried them away, James Rankin
getting 500 in money, Coffee getting
the clothing of the murdered man,
which he put on, and was wearing
when arrested. TBY Il
The case was carried to the Supreme
Court, which. however, refused Coffee
new trial. but granted one in Dennis
case, which is now pending,
From the many aconfessions" of Cof-
fee, people enerally discredit his story,
and a belief in the innocence of Dennis
has been rapidly gaining ground in the
county. 1t was the most brutal and
mysterious murder ever committed in
Indiana. VIII #

the school should be held three nights in a

exhibited through transparancies at the

around the bulletins at the Arlington and

clans were assembled at Wizards discussing
the situation very quietly, while two old-time

The question of how the democratic victory
would effect the administration was discussed
Wherevera knot of politicians got together.
The most prevalent democratic opinion was
that Cleveland would be convinced that the
democrats could win without the assistance of
the magwumps, and would be forced to follow
his party. "The appointments will be made
faster now" was the general cry. The impress
sion among party seemed to be that the Presi-
dent would have to yield now, and the party
would be put In undisputed control. Some of
the soberer party leaders, however, who know
the President better, declared that the result
would not affect Mr.. Cleveand's policy.

turns were being received.

to make appointments faster now. There are
no mugwumps in this he said. Its straight
