LOUISVILLE, Kv., April 33.-Henry
and John Hill, bachelor farmers, who
were lodged in Jail at jamestown, KY,
two weeks ago for the murder of two ped
dlers named barton early in March, were
brought to trial on Saturday. The prin

Smith, a former servant. Her story was
supported by the finding of the remains
of two bodies in a cave near the Hill farm
house.
While she was telling on the stand how
she had been compelled on the peril of
her life to cut the threats of the peddlers
while they were asleep in her employers
house, and catch their blood in II bucket,
the butchered cartons walked into the
court room.
The case was at once discontinued and
the Hills dismissed. The remains that
were found upon close examination proved
to be the carcasses of two sheep.
