ER-OcEAN don't like the editor of that

side for Bro. Murphy personally, though
compelled by convictions of conscience
to take issue with the policy Of his

always and is now the apologist Of
political knaves. It was n of the

do not charge Bro. Murphy with entire

he has simply permitted it to be used

opportunity for him to bring the Plain

speciality.

Poisoning Her Husband.
New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 24-Nothint
for a long time has created so much ex
element here as the news Of the arres,
at Emporia, Kas., of Mrs. Minnie Wa
lace Walkup for poisoning her husband
Mr.. Walkup had been a familiar figure
on the streets of New Orleans. He wa
a Virginian and a handsome, energetic
man of considerable wealth and ability
He was about f~orty-fve years, of age
and a widower with two daughters. The
youngest Of his children, Miss Libbie, il
a year older than the wife he recently
married. Minnie Wallace Walkup, the
wife. is seventeen years of age. Hel
father is James E. Wallace, a lawyer
and formerly United States commission.
er. Every one who ever saw her noticed
her beauty of face and form and lady.
like department. She was 9 fire.
quently on the street and was noted for
her charms of person and fine taste in
dress. She was about five feet seven
inches in height. Her eyes were large
and beautiful. Walkup had met Min.
ME when a child and watched her bloom
into womanhood. Then he claimed hel
as his bride at Covington, Ky. The
wedding took place July %, and, was 9
brilliant affair. From her letters Mrs
Walkup seemed to be living a happy
life, with no wants unprovided. Hel
last letter, received five days ago, said
that Mr.. Walkup was going on a short
business trip, and that she was to g
along. Her friends say the purchase o
arsenic by Mrs. Walkup maybe account
ed for by the fact chat she was addicted
to the use of the drug for the sake o
her complexion.
FUNERAL OF THE VICTIM.
EMpoR1A, Kas., Aug. 24.-Hon. J. R
Walkup's funeral took place this after
noon with an immense attendance. The
interest manifested in the. case sur
passes all precedent here. Mrs. Walk,
up retains her easy, cool, selt.possessed
bearing, and the attendance at the
house yesterday might be called levee
for her. She continues to assert hel
entire innocence. She did not attend
the funeral, as her presence might have
given rise to great excitement. The
coroner's jury met again this forenoon
and took the testimony of DR.. L. D
Jacobs, the physician who attended Mr.
Walkup. 1t developed nothing new o.
startling. The analysis by. DR.. Gardner
of the stomach and other parts of Mr.
Walkup's body did not determine the
presence Of arsenic or other poison, and
he has taken the parts to Kansas City
for a more complete analysis. The cor
oner's jury adjourned to Tuesday morn
ing. Reports from New Orleans as t.
the standing of the Wallace family
there are very conflicting. Mrs. Walk
up, nee Minnie Wallace, remains at the
residence in care of the sheriff, and ha.
so far been treated with entire respect
The mystery OF the case seems to deepen

of se%venty-ive persons overpowered
Tailor jackson and took Locke, who
committed the wholesale murders in
johnson City a few days ago, and
lynched him. Locke confessed and
said he intended to kill all the mem.
bers of three or four more families, but
his cartridges gave out.
PARTICULARS OF H CRIME.
AL Locke. an old citizen OF extern.
sive connection, had a step-daughter
living with HIM whom he seduced sew
eral years ago. Lately his own daughter
was apparently pregnant, and this has
been disturbing his mind, as his rela-
tions attributed to him the crime of
seducing her.
August "a, between. 2 and 8 o'clock
p. M, he left home, intending, as he
avowed, to go to John Green's place to
borrow q sum of money. Green and
family were away. He entered the
house and took Green's Winchester and
returned to the residence of his brother,
Berry Locke. He then shot and killed
Berry and his (Berry's) wife.
A nelghbor named John Nicholson
rode up just then. He forced Nichol-
son to go with him to Mr.. Stokes. He
then shot and killed Mr.. Stokes.
There Nicholson was lost sight of.
His horse was tied there when found,
and it is supposed he was also killed.
From there locke went to his own
house and shot and cut the throat of
Mrs. Henry Locke, of Llano county,
wife of his stepson, who vas on a visit
to him.
He also shot and killed there Mrs
Stokes, wife of the Stokes he had killed
just previous to the killing of Mrs.
Henry Locke.
Then he killed his daughter, Miss
Locke, the one said to be pregnant by
him. /,
He then attempted to kill his wife,
but his cartridges beng exhausted he
could not fire another shot, and she
escaped.
Having failed to catch and kill his
wife he cut his own throat, mounted his
horse and started in the direction OF
johnson City.
After riding q few yards he met
Thomas Brunswick, whom he attacked,
and into whom he plunged a knife, in.
