Cora Lee and Mrs Mailoy Arrested.


SPRINGFIELD, Mo, March Cora Lee
and Mrs. Malloy were arrested Sunday on
warrants charging them with completely in
the murder of Mrs. Graham. As soon as ar
rested they broke down, bursting into tears
and stating that now they believed in Gras
hams guilt. They declare themselves limo
cent, and say they never suspected Graham
until the body was found. They were moi
committed to Jail, but placed SO that they
could not communicate with Graham. 1t
was rumored that Graham had made con.
fession, but the officials preserve the utmost
secrecy. 1t is believed that Graham will he
lynched this week, as excitement is very
high and popular feel is tending in that di-

PEORIA, Ills, March "A Sprirteld,
Mo, special 10 The journal reads as follows:
Graham, in an elahorately written and rhe
torscal confession of the murder of his wife,
eXonerates Mrs Malloy and Cora Lee, but
as the inquest progresses the public feeling
grows stronger against all
Mrs Maiioy arrived SUNDAY and is closely
guarded She has employed eminent coun-
sci, and will fight to the bitter end In re
ply to a message from here Graham wrote
SUNDAY:
"MRs MALLoY-I have been hearing all day
of your talk against me- also of your private
interview with Judge Baker While ! am
prepared to do you full justice, you must
not exhibit your feline qualities toward me.
You must not make open attacks on me.
Yours, as | am treated
ISigned GEORGE GRAHAM
This strengthens the public belief Of Mrs.
Mailoy's guilt Graham attacks the
character of the murdered woman in the
confession, but barring one pCint-that he
killed her-the confession is tissue O lies,
Cora Lee wrote pathetic letter 10 era
ham, which is supposed to have pracip!tatad
the confession
At the inquest Monday morning, Mrs
Abbie Breeze, sister OF the murdered
woman, identified the clothes of Sarah and
the other articles. She was overcome with
emotion and wept copiously. Strange to
say, one or two OF Mrs Malloy's former
friends, in the face of the testimony which
convicts her of adultery, hypocrisy anf
murder, still stand by her.
Charlie Graham testifies that while
George and Sarah lived with the Nal
10y family at Washington, Kan, Sarah was
made houie servant and that her own bed
was made place Of assignation between
Graham and Mrs Malloy.
Cora Lee is terrified by fear of a mob,
Mrs. Malloy is eating opium to keep up her
nerves Graham has brac.d himself for the
worst, and seems relieved Breeze, who IS
workingman, will be made handsome
present by the citizens Of Springfield for his
devotion to this case The Daily Leader
has started a dime boom for him. To him
alone is George Graham indebted for his
life, as mob from Brooklyn was organized,
but Breeze met them and asked that the law
take its course The mob respect uLy De,

Morgan as a General.

ayes, Morgan was much greater SOL
der than he is generally considered" said
Colonel Thomas H. Hunt, of New Orleans,
after rambling discussion of the merits of
various Confederate Generals. HE was
far more than raider, and had in him the
elements that make up great leader"
"Well, Colonel, know you led one
of the most gallant Kentucky regiments in
the Southern army, and are familiar with
the country in which Morgan made his
fame; were you ever with him?" was the
query.
"Yes, sir; it was my good fortune to be
under his command when he made the at
tack on Hartsville in 1862. That has been
pronounced by able military critics the
most brilliant achievement Of the war, and
was SO impressed with the military genius
of the man on that occasion that shall
never cease to regard him with the highest
veneration. -.

who has a just idea of his duty to the people
testihes to the value OF this form. Its staunch-
