SENSATIONAL ARREST.
Emma Fleetwood Indicted For the
Murder of Her Parents.

NATION, ILL.,, April 2l: Emma Fleet
wood, the daughter Of Nehemiah and Jeru-
sha Fleetwood, the aged couple who were
murdered in this county April Q, 1884, was
to-day arrested and lodged in Jail at Charles
ton on an indictment alleging her completely
in the murder of her parents. The public
had long since lost its interest in the case,
and had come to the conclusion that the
mystery of the crime would never be solved.
But the grand jury which has been in ses-
sion for the past ten days has struck new
evidence, the nature of which will be made
known at the time the case comes 10 trial
The public are once more greatly interested
in the case and anxiously awaiting the new
developments.
The particulars of the horrible crime are
briefly as follows: Wednesday evening
April 9, 1884, at 10 o'clock, Nehemiah ant
Jerusha Fleetwood, aged n and 81 respect
iyely. were found dead in bed, the tOrme
with his throat cut, bullet hole in his hea'
and his wife by his side with two bulle
holes in her skull. The only other person
in the house at the time were their daughter
Emma, aged 20, the hired man Jane
Winkleblack, AM child. The house ha
been set on fire, and the bodies of the mu
dered were slightly burned before it was eA
tinguished.
The first knowledge that Winkleblack an
Emma were supposed TO have had OF tn
crime was when they were awakened by IN
| FIRE Circumstantial evidence at the tim
directed very strong suspicious agains
| WinklebIack, but no suspicious were cas-
against the daughter. Winkleblack was al
rested and narrowly escaped lynching; d
was even brought 10 this city for safe keel
ing. it being feared that the Jail at Charlie:
the required protection. At his first trii
the iury disagreed. At the second trial;
year ago. he was acquitted. However,, b
was only tried for killing Nehemiah Zee Zee
duplicating him, he could be Indicted in u
ease of the wife's murder. This is oDl
CONJECTURE. 1t is reported that other meI
bers Cf the family than Emma are yet to
arrested.

Eight Lives Destroyed by the Break

PrrTsFIELD, Mass, April 2l: A terrible
accident occurred at East Lee. resulting in
a large loss of life and much damage to
poperty. At o'clock this morring the
village of East Lee was inundated and dev
astaied by the breaking away of a dam at
Mud pond reservoir, Mountain lake, two and
ahalf miles from the village. The pond
covered many acres of swamp and was in
creased from Its regular limited size by ex-
tensive dams built by a club OF manufactur-
ers as store place for water. East Lee
village, whose half dozen paper mills are
situsted On the stream, received its first
news OF the accident when the food came
p0ufing down the streets, the water being
nom so feet deep and bringing with it
uees' portions of houses, barns, fences,
wagons and every form of movable property.
