LYNOHERs OR MURDERERsP
An Old Tragedy Again Made Proml-
nent in Texas.

GALVESTON, May 30.-Considerable ex-
citement was oocasioned here yesterday by
the arrest of Judge Henry Weyer, justice
of the peace of Galveston county. and w.
T. Allen and Charles Juneman, well-known
citizens living several miles down the river,
on an Indictment found by the grand jury
charging them with the murder of Ric ard
Fieisching, in this county, on Aug. 20, 1884.
The indictment also included Fred
Koehler, late a constable in Justice
Weyer's precinct at present absent
from the city, and Cliff Porter, who left
Galveston very suddenly and mysteriously
soon after the lynchingof young Fleisching.
Junemau, is eng lged in the dairy business.
Allen has been recently employed in the
Farmers Alliance exchange. KOehler was a
constable of the Third precinct. WeYer.
Allen and KOehler are all prominent men,
bers Of the Galveston county alli-
ance. As soon as the indict-
ment was found an officer lett
Galveston for kentucky to arrest Porter,
taking the necessary requisition papers
from Gov. Ross to make an arrest in an
other state. He also get a similar requisi-
ton from the governor Of Kentucky. Por-
ter was found at Latona, Ky, where, as
the owner Of the Creole stables, he was en-
gagged in the races now in progress at that
place.
THE CRIME.
The crime with which these men are
charged is the lynching of young Ger
man, Richard Fleisching, in this county in
August 1884 for an assault made upon the
wife of Juneman. The present indictment
was found upon the disclosure of new evil
dence, namely, an affidavit made by Henry
Heinroth, who aftirms that about a month
after the lynching of Fleisching, he secreted
himself under the house and listened to a
conversation between the persons now
under arrest, the substance OF which was
practically confessions on the part of
Weyer, Juneman, Allen and Kosher to
having committed murder. The recent
grand jury ordered the body of Fleisching
to be exhumed, which was done May q
under the auspices of Justice Spann and
County Physician Burk As soon as the
indictment was found, Officer Gordon took a
train for Kentucky in search of the fugitive,
Porter. Nothing was found in Fleisch-
ing's coffin but a lot of dry bones.
One peculiar circumstance was that the
thigh bo es of the leg were found at the
10 oaer end of the coffin, where the knee
bone should have been, and the knee bones
were up to ward the thigh. This disarrange-
Jeut could not nave resulted from natural
causes, and it leads to the conclusion that
the bones must have been tampered with,
but for what purpose is not known, unless
it was to recover piece of wire that may
have been left i'll the body after it was used
for lace alton. A badly decOmpOsed rope
that had been left around the neck of
Fleiscning was also found in the coffin.
