himself nor make up his mind to accept

be let out, The Imprisonment tells more

He has lost thirty pounds weight since
he was sent to Joliet, but his health is
good He is very blue, very despond-

good deal. He hes a team of horses
which were placed in the care of a

them earn their expenses, and Fielden

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, April 3O.-The
conclusion drawn from the condition of
things in the house and the position in
which the bodies of old Mrs kearney
and her grandson were found yester-
day, is that they were murdered for
money which it was known the former
had in the house, but by whom it
still is a mystery. Two bullet holes
were found in the skull of the boy,
while his grandmother's head was
as to explode the theory of suicide.
The boy was the grandson of J. C. Hand,

phia, and WAS to come into possession
of an estate of $40, 900 at his majority.
