stricken father "a face scarcely less
white, save for the bruises on it,
than the grave clothes that covered
the body. In a voice which culver

"That is nay poor daughter.D
Miss Fannie Lillian Madison was
q native of King William county,
and her parents live a few miles
from the Courthouse. She was
born in eighteen sixty.three. Went
TO school at Burlington Academy
TO Mr.. Garick. After having
nearly completed her education she
returned to her home, where she
then expressed q desire to do
something to earn her living. In
October, 1884, she wrote to a rela-
tive by the name of John G. Jones,
who lives ut MILFORD, Bath county,
asking him TO get her school. In
a short while she received a letter
from him, stating that he had oh.
tanned a position for her with Mrs.
Dickinson, who lives at Millboro'.
She accepted the offer, came to
Richmond ria the York River road,
accompanied by her uncle, Mr..
Joseph Walker, and stopped with
relative, Mr.. w. II. Madison,
No. 9i2 Twenty. eighth street. She
remained few days and went
from here to Millboro'. Mr.. w.
Madison says that this is the last
time any of her relatives saw her
in this city alive, but that his family
had received several letters from
her-the last on the first of last
week.
Justice Richardson sent a teIc-
gram Wednesday morning to Mrs.
Dickinson, at MlllbOro', Bath cOun-
ty, to send by express, as sosn as
possible, the trunk, clothing, and
all the property of Lillian Madi-
son.
Justice Richardson also swOre
Ont a warrant against L. j. Gu
verius, and placed the same in the
hands of Captain Charles II. Epps
and Officer Lagan Robins for ex-
ecutiOn.
Mr.. Cluverius is young lawyer
twenty-three years old, living at
Plymouth, King aud Queen county.
Miss Madison and he were distant
cousins, were not looked upon as
lovers, as it was known that Gu.
yerius was engaged to be married
to a lady living in the lower part
Of the county.
IL appears from the register of
the Davis House, in this city, that
I. j. Cluverius put up there on the
II h Of March, 1885. Miss Fannie
Lillian Madison arrived in Rich
mOnd that night after midnight, or
about $3.50 o'clock, the train hav-
ing been delayed several hours,
aud, it will be remembered, regis
tered at the American Hotel under
the assumed name of Miss 4. i.
Merton.
Mr.. Davis says that r. j. Cal
verius was in the habit of stopping
at his hotel while in the city and
remaining a day or two at a time.
Friday night Mr.. Davis says he
met him going to his room between
the hours of II and o'clock, and
that Oluverius told him to have
him called at 3 O'clock Saturday
morning, as he wanted to take the
freight train on the York River
road for West Point. This was
done, and he left as desired. Dir.
Davis described Cluverius as being
a quiet, modest young man, who
looked to be about twcnty-one
years old, possibly older; nous
tsche very light; hair same; face
slightly sunburnt, and form Of
slight build.
Captain Epps and Officer Robins
set out for King and Queen county
Wednesday morning. They travel.
ed by private conveyance, having
secured a double team and a four.
seated drag, reaching Frayser's fer
ry, on the Mattaponi, about 1870
o'clock IN the afternoon. Here they
fed and watered their team. Cap.
tain Epps reached the t-house
about q o'clock, and here proceeded
to get information as to the route
to Little Plymouth, where T. j.
Cluverius lived with an aunt, Mrs.
Samuel Tunstall, a lady Of con.
siderable means, who had adopted
him as her son.
Captain Epps stopped the drag
some distance from the village of
Little Plymouth, and left Officer
Robins in charge of it. Then, with
Jailer Oliver, he went to a store
where he had reason to believe
Cluyerius was. His idea for doing
this was that he wanted to avoid
giving Mrs. Tunstall unnecessary
alarm, as he had been informed
that her health was extremely
delicate. Cluverius was not at the
store, and Captain Epps sent word
10 officer Robins TO bring the drag
into the village.
Oluverius was found at home,
where he wasarrested, and by s
o'clock Thursday morning Captain
Epps and his prisoner were on their
way to Richmond, reaching the
city near sunset
Friday the prisoner was brought
before the Police Justice accom-
panied by his counsel Messrs r.
ii. Pollard Of King and Queen, A.
b. Evans of Middlesex, and ex-
Judge w. w. Orump Of Richmond.
The Commonwealth Attorney for
the city, Mr.. S. b. Witt, moved the
case be set for the 30th instant
which was agreed to. The prisoner
was then sent to the city Jail. The
crowd around the Police Station
was one of the largest ever known
to assemble at any time, all eager
to get a glimpse Of the prisoner.
