Unable to Give Bond. He Is Sent
to jail on a Serious Charge.

Officer Quisenberry returned from
Fulton Friday morning, having in
charge Fielding Sexton, whom he
arrested on Il charge OF horse steal
ing, The prisoner was at once
taken before Justice Winscott,
where he waived examination and
in default of a $3.50 bond, was sent
20 the county jail.
Readers oil the LEDGER will re-
member all of the facts in the case
concerning the charge against Sex
toll. He is accused by Harriet
lie T%ourneau, his motiler-in-law, of
having stolen two horses belonging
to the old lady. Mrs. LeTourneau,
who is a very old French Creole
Canadian, told a sorry story to a re-
porter and it was printed in this
paper shortly after the horses were
taken. The old lady lives on an
eleven acre patch of ground north
of Mexico, where, with The assist
ance of her two horses, she eked
out an existence. When her horses
were gone, she was placed i'll a bad
plight, as she had but a few dol
lars with which to get through the
winter. Happily, the season vas a
mild one, and, through the efforts
of Officer Quisenberry, one Of the
missing mares was found. She was
on the farm Pitt Cowies, near Aux
vase, to whom Sexton had sold
her. The officer then commenced
a search for the prisoner, but until
a day or two since he met with lit
tie or no success. He was located
at Fulton Thursday morning and
in the afternoon Officer Quisen-
berry went r his man. He foune
him without difficulty and Friday
morning the prisoner was brought
over. Sexton stoutly denies that
he intended stealing the horses,
but he offers no satisfactory excuse
for his strange action. Officer
Quisenberry, who has worked faith
fully on this case, is now Ill Gala

And meantime, as the weeks wore on, a
thought which had dimly suggested itself
to Ingot as he stood listening to the doctors
words, took shape IN his mind. Suppose
Lyman Childcr should die. who was there
to say that the money he had claimed in the
name of his sister and himself was not
rightfully theirs. He could retract his
statement to Carol, could manufacture some

means of controlling his wife's actions, if
not her thoughts. Let Lyman live the week

black wings over that unhappy house, the
better for the plot which was forming in
that subtle brain.
