SALISBURY, MD, Aug. 23.--Fnrther in
vesiigation of circumstances connected
with the Qunntico murder, points still
more conclusiyely to John Robinson, who
is suspected and is lodged in jail as one Of
the guilty parties. Suspicion now rests
| also upon two others--Edward Dashiell
and Wesley Dorman, both colored--who
live not far from the honse of Robinson.
The wife of Edward Dashiell stated that
her husband did not get home Friday
night (the night Of the tragedy until
o. m; but she does not know where he
went TINT night. DIR. Landlord, physi-
clan residing in Tyaskin district, met
Dashiell on the road Saturday afternoon,
and upon being asked where he was the
night before, he refused to state his
whereabouts. A warrant has been issued
for the arrest of both these parties.
Strong feeling still prevails against
Robinson. He acknowledges TINT the
steps as traced by Bradley through the
| cornfield and around by Huntingdon
swamp up to the house mark the route
which he took home, but denies the foot
prints near and behind the store in the
snn fl, Id Robinson has deformed te 0
on one foot, which ia clearly discovered
in the tracks near the store and along the
| route, and all the prints measurely ex-
actly the same length-11 inches
Jeremiah Bradley, who has gained such
q reputation in this county as tracker,
is about 60 years old, and is resident of
Barren Greek district. He has discovered
many important and perplexing tracks
upon several occasions. Going with o
party TO recover stolen goods, he would
track his way TO the landing-plaoe and
procure the goods, when the others could
not see any sign of tracks. He claims
that whenever foot is placed upon brick
or stone that the impression made is
sufficient to be discovered. He states that
the footprints look MS il made by the same
party and made ON Friday night, while
Robinson claims to have travelled the
route Thursday.
Tomorrow party of men will make
search of the ground between the store
and the house of Robinson, which is
about two miles; also thorough investi-
cation will be made of the house and
premises of Robinson, in order TO find if
possible any money or effects that might
be concealed. Considerable excitement
has prevailed in Salisbury to-day over
the case. The warden is instructed to al
low no visitors to enter the jail.
