DOVER July l6.-There was nothing
new in the Ford's Corner tragedy yester.
day except the article which called the
attempted assassina ton of one young
man by another fake" and "a fght
between two cowardly toughs.
The JOURNAL representative person
ally knows most of the Dsore prominent
men of Kenton at West Dover hundred
and the facts just as given ia the JoUR-
NAL can be substantlated. II is not the
assassin's fault that Caleb Ford IS not In
his grave. He did not load with ''the
finest bird shot. The very strongest
link In the chain of evidence against him
Is that he wanted No. shot at the store,
but the dealer had not enough No. 4, so
they were mixed with heavier shot,
and the shots picked out of Ford
are Of different sizes. Ask some gunner
how far No. 4 is removed from 1.-THE
finest bird shot.
John r. Burke Of Downs Chapel was
In Dover last evening and the JOURNAL
representative asked what he thought OF
the affair. Its the blackest aud most
cold-blooded outrage we ever had out
there, said he. II thought the outrage
on E. R. Grant was bad enough, but this
is worse. Yes, | know Caleb Ford and
have never heard anything against his
reputation for honesty and industry.
Philip Scotteu, ex-member Of the
legislature who is now Justice Of the

deposition on Sunday evening, says. "0i

Dover and South Murderkill hundreds.
East Dover, with the extra dele

1 He did not think of returning 1t, and
last Saturday, while at work, he was
arrested, charged with theft, and held in
5000 bail. He was very core over this
treatment, as he simply took the ring
with no idea of keeping it, and the
charge of theft was preposterous.
BE determined to avengs him
self by allowing her to oome
forward and prove the theft.
About twenty persons collected last
evening before the door of Squire Mona.
ghan's Office to gain glimse of her as
she went to prove her property, but in
the meantime she relented and sent
word she would not appear at the trial.
He returned the ring to the squire aud
went home. This may act as a warning
to young men to be cautious about Civ
ing or accepting rings Ia the future.
