4 New YORK, January ia Mem,

az Tiptonville (Tenn.) Landing, on the
Mississippi River, aboutl50 miles north
of here, some weeks ago, a young man
married the daughter of Mrs. ]. F. Atch.
ison, widow. The young mans
father, learning that his sons mother.in-
Law possessed $500 or s400, concerted q
plan for him and his son and the young
wife to murder the old lady for the pur.
pose ofrobbery. The plan was agreed
aud the crime was committed. The
neighbors learned Of the crime, fixed the
guilt on the trio and the latter hastily
departed. A posse Of indignant citizens
followed, overlook and hanged the entire
party to the limb of tree. Tiptonville
is practically almost as remote as shang-

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The friends of
the late Henry P. Marshall, who vas for
over twenty years cashier Of the seaman's
Bank for Savings, on Wall street, were
surprised at published statement this
morning that s12, 900 worth offunds held
by him as treasurer of the Protestant
Episcopal church missionary society for
seamen, cannot be found. II was ascer.
tanned to-day that the funds of St.
Georges church, and of estates of which
he was trustee, are also missing to the
extent of nearly $4,000 additional, and
besides this, it is stated that funds entrus.
ted to him by individuals for investment
cannot be accounted for. Nothing is
wrong with his bank accounts, which
were examined, when the new cashier
was appointed, after Marshall's death IN
November, and again when the regular
half yearly report was being prepared.
No discovery was made until a need arose
for some of the church funds in Mar.
shalps charge. A search for these
disclosed the fact that the securities in
which they had been invested were hypo.
thecated to their full value With trust
company along with other securities by
Marshall. As the affair gains publicity
additions are made to the amount for
which Marshall is responsible. The ag.
gregate is nov about $4,000.
