WHEELING, w. Va, Sept 9.-Investiga-
tons by the grand jury in Fayette county,
this state, have brought to light a fiendish
plot which in murderous ingenuity rivals
those invented by Edgar Allen Poe or Emile
Gaboriau. About month ago white man
named Charles West was waylaii and butch
cred by Bill Turner, worthless negro, who
had been a criminal all his life West was
n prominent citizen, and a committee of reg
ulators lynched Turner with the promptness
that Is usually observed in cases Of the kind
In some parts II West Virginia. TIE lynch
srs took little pains To conceal their iden-
tity, and during the excitement which fol.
lowed the crime the concensus of public
opinion was that it was "A good thing to have
Turner out OF the way and that the man ner
OF his taking of did not make much differ
euce
Curiosity Il Good Thing Too.
However, curiosity about the motive for
Vests murder was aroused Ii was not rob
berry, for no attempt had been made to rifle
the body, although Turner had plenty of
time to secure his victims valuables 1t
could not have been revenge, as the two men
had never met before the crime was COM
mitted Finally rumors Of a statement tina {
Turner had made just before he was strung
up became so numerous that the grand jury,
then in session, took cognizance of then and
began an investigation.
A Startling Confession.
One OF the lynchers, John West. a cousin
OF the murdered man, was summoned, and
during his examination broke down and
made the following remarkable confession:
Charles West was politically obnoxious to a
number OF persons Of Fayette county and
they determined to have him removed He
was too prominent a man to be killed with
out exciting searching examination, which
might prove unpleasant for his murderer.
and he could not be provoked into quarrel,
in which he might be shot in self-defense
The plotters were in dilemma and held sew
eral conferences. At last they hit upon the
plan Of hiring Turner TO do the deed and
then lynching him before he had a chance to
implicate them, thus destroying all trace of
their guilt
The PIotters Alarmed.
This plan was carried out in all but one
particular. West was killed and Turner
was lynched, but before they could strangle
their hired bravo he let fall few words
that gave clue to the officers of the law
The investigation has not been concluded,
but those concerned in the plot are known
and will be indicted at once. Three of them
have become alarmed and have left the
vicinity, abandoning their property, but the
rest are being Swallowed by deputy sheriffs
and will be arrested If they attempt to go
out Of the county
