AN INTERESTING CASE,
Submitted at Yesterdays Session of the Su-
preme Court.

Submitted at Yesterdays Session of the Su-
preme Court.
An interesting murder case, in which the
accused was convicted entirely upon cir
cumstanGal evidence, was submitted in the
Supreme Court of Appeals Saturday. The
case comes from Randolph county, the al.
legged murderer being Jno. C. Flanagan, while
the victims were Francis Somerfeld and her
infant child. The crime was committed on
the night of December l6, 1888, the scene
being in little cabin on the banks of the
Dry Fork Of Cheat river, in the Rich Noun
tain region of Randolph. Flanagan, although
q married man, had been on terms
OF intimacy with the Somer6eld woman
visiting her cabin at various times in
the capacity of lover, the two often having
serious qurrels, but as often renewing their
friendship Saturday light, December Is,
the day before the murder, Flanagan
called on the woman, and in the night the
two had q very stormy time, blows being
exchanged on both sides. The following
morning she told some neighbors that "her
man" had threatened to kill her. The
next night the cabin, which stood in lone
" spot, was destroyed BY FIRE with its con-
tents. The whole matter was shrouded In
mystery but there were several suspicious
circumstances which led the noun
taineers of the neighborhood to be.
ieve that foul play had been committed,
and this suspicion was confirmed BY the dis.
coyery Of mail carrier, who, having stop.
ped at the ruins more from feelings Of
curiosity than anything else. and the heavy
fall of snow of the night before having some
what melted, be began 10 look about in the
hope of finding some article of value. In
short time he came upon the nearly con-
sumed remains Of the woman and child,
among the blsckened bones being discerna-
bic the skulls and portion Of the sternum
and ribs and other large bones. The skull
OF the woman had evidently been crushed in
with some heavy instrument presumably
short crow bar which was found outside of
the limits of the house. The mail carrier
gave the alarm, and in short time nearly
one hundred men wefeon the scene. Squire
White was notified and at once held an in
quest. which lasted nearly . week, the jury
finally returning verdict of murder and
charging Flanagan with the crime.
Flanagan was arrested, and in the spring
Of 1884 had trial before Judge Ice, aud
was convicted upon purely eircuuatanti 81
