SPmSGYfgLD, Mo-, Feb. 2s.-Mr
Breese went out 10 the Molloy farm 10
see the old well or cave In which Mrs
Graham's body was thrown. A strange
circumstance In relation to the horrible
crime has come to light. When, on the
occasion Of T. l.. Brcese's former visit
10 this city officers went out 10 the Mol
10y farm on a tour Of investigation.
Mrs. Molloy took her Bible TO have fam.
lily worship, aud read the fourth chapter
OF John, where there Is an ac.
count Of Christ's conversation with the
woman of Samaria at the we'll, IN which
he told her, "The man thon hast IL not
Thy husband" An impression was made
on the mind Of John Potter, Of BrOoklne,
and he aiterward dreamed that the miss
Ing woman was Ia the bottom Of well.
The dream had.a part In urging him 10 the
search which resulted In the finding Of
the body.
