CONFESSION OF A MURDERESS.

-@s~ rs.ss--~-s h. -JN.. a - n with Nor.
p!iine and then Cuts His Throat
/ One OF the most terrible crimes ever com.
mitted in Davis county, Ind, has just been
brought to light by the confession of the
murdercss, who is seventy years old. On
the 10Th of November last Richard o. Allen,
an aged farmer, living five miles south of
Washington, was found tied to O tree near
his homo, with his throat cutfrom ear to ear.
The general s"ppo sition was that he had.
taken his own life. He was buried, and the
matter was little thought of till few days
ngo, whom the mystery was solved by tho
confession of tho mans wife, Charlotte
Allen, and two colored servants. Sne and
her husband had had trouble as to who right
fully should own the little farm, and in order
to settle the dispute she gave him morphine
in his tea on that fatal day. She then drove
him into tho garden, where he fell into q
furrow In a deep sleep. She then procured a
case knife and q rope and went where her
drugged husband was lying on his fac.. Sho
tied the rope around his body, turned him
over, and, making several slashes at his
throat, half severed his head from the neck.
She then dragged him to a tree aud tied him
there When this was done she wrote in the
sand; Choose to die by my own hand"
Tho murderess then went to the house,
changed her clothes and then gave the alarm.
Mrs. Aliens confession was made when la
boring under religious excitemeut.

Proof that the entire mail from Nashville,

cumulated, and DIR. Curry made an investi-
ga.ion M ne learned. it is stated, that tho
mai pouch had been delivered at tho door
ot the postotlice usual to tho driver of the
contractors wagon. The mail clerk on tho
train which should have received the pouch
stated s. That he had never seen anything OF it.
Ihe pouch, it was thus reasoned, had disap-

nowf 10 settle that question DIR. Curry, on
nay 40, notified the department ut Washing
ton that it might mako an investigation.
Nothing further was heard in this conncc-
ton until as stated, Mr.. Stubbs, a special
agent, came to Nashville to hunt tho affair
down. lt is impossible to learn how much
money was in the mail. 1t was destined for
a large and important territory, and tho
presumption Is that the pouch contained
much valuable matter.

The Captain waits long time ere he
breaks the silence. Finally he says:

Bywater permanently
Madam Dundas did not reply at once.
: A frown gathered upon her brow, and
she turned away. But lrer anger was
momentary. Presently she smiles aga n
at her favorito, saying, II will welcome
anybody you choose. All 1 ask is that
you will do nothing hasty. Take time
enough. And and, don't be quito dis

piled them.
The sujcct of money had never been
so much rs limited ut by Madam, and
though Loo was fully aware of what
her fathers wants must be by this time.
she could not bring herself to ask her
aunt for money. Moreover, the under.
standing in the first place had been
that Loo was to receive no money. The
salary was to be paid to Bolton himself.
not to his daughter.
Having made up his mind to visit
Loo, Mr.. Bolton ut once pro ,eeded to
carry his determination into effect. He
was too wise, however, to put on a bold
Iront, and march up the entrance TO
Bywater Park and demand an inter-
view with J. 90. To do this sWas toFu;ii
both himself and his daughter forever
with Madam Iundas. But mono the
less was he determined upon having
the money Madam had agreed upon
giving him. This being the case, Mr..
Bolton at once departed upon his Jour-
ney to Bywator Park, first sending q
line to Loo, notifying her of his inten-
tion and giving the date of his arrival.
MIR. Bolton did lot at once proceed
to the park; but, stopping at little
Inn for removed from Bywater, sent q
limo to his daughter, bidding her meet
him under the trees in the evening.
Loo's heart quaked when she re-
ceiyed this message. She was afraid to
go to her father, yet because Bolton
was her father she could not refuse. It
was early twilight when she finally loft
the house to keep her appointment un-
der the trees. He was already waiting
for her when she appeared upon tho
scene.
You arc wonderfully improved,
Loo, he says, after the first hurried
salutations arc over with. "Bywater
Park must agree with you"
:. Yes" Loo says, abruptly. "I think
it does. But YOU"
Il am no worse at least" he says,
with bitter smile; "but hush! hear
voit es."
They listen. Only the low chirp of
q nIghtbird in its nest breaks tho dewy
stiffness.
Il must have been mistaken, Z" Bolton
speaks with evident relief. "Loo, what
can you do for me, anythng?"
:, Il wrote you that / had not a cent in
the world"
II know it" Bolton speaks harshly.
What skinflint your old aunt is to be
sure. Loo, 1 feel certain she suspects
how great my poverty is, and is with
holding tho beggarly salary expressly
to punish me-"
This same idea has been in Ioo's
mind so long that it is q conviction.
She resents this use of her power by
Madame Dun4as.e but she is powerless
to prevent it. ~
