a MuRDERER IDENIlElED.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 26-Ben
Elgy, alias jim Williams, the negro who
assaulted and robbed Mrs. J. u. Lundy
last Thursday, has been fully identified as
a negro wanted in Cobb, Ga, for the muir
der of white lady. He was first identi-
fed by Policeman Glover, who was form
erly on the Atlanta force, and two Atlanta
officers came over today and fully
identified him. An effort viii be made to
get reQuisition and take him back to
Georgia, where he will probably be hanged
The following particulars Of the Georgia
crime have been learned here: In January
last the body of Mrs. Mary Hargroves an
aged and highly respected widow lady of
Cobb county, Ga, was found by her son,
who had been absent from home but a
short time, lying in pool of her own
life's blood which had flown from ghast-
ly wound in the head, and by which the
skull had been crushed in. That
robbery had been been the object of the
brutal murder was evident from the fact
that a belt containing considerable sum
of money, which Mrs. Hargrove always
wore buckled around her body, was gone
4 negro who had been employed upon the
place as farm hand during the previous
season, was at once suspected of being the
perpetrator of the crime, as he was &C
Quainted with Mrs. Hargrove's habit of
carrying her money about her person, and
also with the fact that she usually
had a considerable amount of it in
her possession The utmost excite
ment and indignation was Gre
ated throughout the community by the
terrible dead, and every effort was made
to capture the perpetrator. A reward of
$500 was offered by the governor for his
apprehension, which was supplemented by
an additional 500 offered by the relatives
and friends of the murdered woman.
The negro is also wanted at Dalton, Ga,
for daring robbery committed there last
winter. The officers here refuse to give
him up unless Mrs. Lundy RECEIVERS.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March a6.-An inter-
esting question of who is to pay is likely
to come out of the transactions of Patrick
Fleming, of this city, who has been en-
gagged in the hay business for two years
through the Banque de Peuple and the
Merchants Bank, both Canadian insti-
buttons. Jennings acceptances during
this period had been discounted by these
banks, and they trusted him literally.
but he failed to meet the drafts which
have maCured within week, and the
bank officials have been looking for him.
The amount due the banks is about
s20000 The method was for Fleming's
partner in Canada to draw on him for ten
or twenty days for the price of the hay,
and the two banks would discount the
drafts, and everything went smoothly
until recently, when Jennings note went
to protest, now it appears he has only
1925 on deposit. He says he is bankrupt
to the amount of $4,000. He offered &c on
the dollar. The banks refused this, and
Fleming has left town. The bank officials
have learned that the railroads have per-
mitted Fleming to take the hay shipped
to him without showing his bills of lad
ing. A court case against the roads may
crop out of it.

a CONvICT,S SAD STORY,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 26.-H. c. Still,
veteran forger, who was pardoned out OF
the Missouri penitentiary last month by
Gov. Francis, was sentenced here today to
five years in states prison, for obtaining
money on bogus check. When asked by
the court if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced, Still
rose feebly from his seat the tears cours-
ing down his crime-hardenedf face, and told
in a few cear-cut sentences a story
that deeply affected the crowd in court.
He admitted his guilt, and acknowledged
also that he was an escaped convict under
a sentence from this county many years
ago. He gave graphic account of how he
escaped from the jail and was recaptured,
and how, with revolver in hand, he made
good his second escape from the penitep-
tiary at Nashville, after being fired upon
by the guards He admitted that he was
bad man, md his life had been one OF
crime, but declared he was born gentle
man. Told how he got a position as clerk
in an Arkansas hotel under an assumed
name, and how firmly he had resolved to
live an honest life, and if possible to live
down the disgrace that attached to his
name.
But" said he, ~ hadn't been in my
new position long before round-headed
in hand discovered who / was and exposed
me-"
He spoke feelingly of his wife and
daughter He said that they would have
been here to offer him whatever aid and
consolation they could but for the blood
hound of the press who would have bounced
upon them because they were unfortunate
enough to be his wife and daughter.
He was not asking for mercy. He was
a moor man. whose life would probably be
ended before his sentence expired. So far
as he was concerned the faded hues of life
had fled" He had nothing to hope for nor
wished for What was called christian
charity, if it had possessed the elements OF
redeeming love, could have saved him after
his first offense, but instead of that it had
logged and pursued him through the
world with the relentless vengeance of a
Nemesis, driving him from one infraction
of the law to another, and taking away
from him the possibility of making an
honest living.

MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDE

DETROIT. Mich, March ga few weeks
ago Mrs. Johanna .Zshoegner and daugh-
ter, Emma, a handsome young woman
about % years of age, arrived in this city
from Allegheny City to visit son, John
Zshoegner. On February IS they were
both taken suddenly i'll, and four days
later the daughter died Mrs. Zshoegner
recovered. The police heard of the young
woman's death, and knowing of similar
cases having occurred in the fam
lily. had the stomach removed and
analysed. Zsholgner and his wife, upon
promising to return in time for the in
quest, were allowed to take the body to
Allegheny city for burial, but up to date
nothing has been heard from them.
The coroner's inquest was begun tonight
and testimony of the physician who made
the analysis showed the stomach con-
tanned large quantities of arsenic.
Anna Zsholgner, wife of John.
is 80 years of age. She had
three husbands previous to Zsholgner.
Two of whom died under peculiar circum-
stances. The motive advanced by the
authorities who claim there has been a
murder and an attempted murder is that
the young woman knowing that old Mrs.
Zshoegner was wealthy administered
poison to her and to Miss Emma which
would result in the property being in
herited by her husband.
