THINKS FEITIG GUILTY.
Mr.. Southwark was asked by the re-
norter if he really thought II was MURDER
and said =" | haven't the slightest doubt
bnf that il was murder. and do not hesi-
tate TO saw that think three people com,
mitted it, probably sully, feltig. ana
He also remarked with a smile that 1t
was one of the few cases which he had oeen
able to keep from the newspapers, ana
added; You newspaper-men maven .I, 20,

PUZZLES.
"Wbat pnzzles me il why the murderer
after he had Drained Rosdeitcher did not

Another curious and mysterious

of Feitie's neighbors, says he don't reInen.
her seeing it when 'Mox' was found that
morning. DIR. Bryant, Tom Sully, and one
of Mr.. Byrd's little boys also say theN
don't remember seeing it. Adams anc
Mrs. Feitig think they saw 1t lying az th'
horses feet, but are not certain.

dered he was carried in it from the spo
where he was assaulted, as 1t Is very
| bloody.
"Besides the overcoat we have some
more of his effects which no one mas oeei
told about" said Mr.. Southwark.
| "You saw Sully claims to know nothing
of the murder, Mr.. Southwark. Now tell
me how it is that he can bring charges
AGAINST Adams" said the reporter.
| Sheriff Sonthwards face lit up with
smile. and he said: You can't catch me
that way. didn't say that Sully knew OF
| claims to know anything of the affair, lie
has confessed what he knows without
drawing himself into it, but l am not IN
position to say what that Is.
Mr.. Southwark was questioned further
by the reporter. and said: Wen, guess

right theory. In my opinion Mox
wasn't murdered in the stable at all. be
lieve he was murdered somewhere else ant
taken there"
BLOODY CLUES.
"Do you think the spots OF blood founC
in the house of Mr. Feitig were made re
cently?" was asked.
well, yes, and my theory about them, i
something like this. Surprising that D.
was murdered or assaulted upstairs: well
there is large stain on the floor there, a
if he was LAID down a few minutes wbei
they were about 10 bring him down. Ihei
at the bottom of the stairs there are trace
of another pool of blood. This nigh
have been when they laid HIM down agail
TO open the door. The bloody smear
around on the walls were probably mad
when he was being carried down the stair
case. Doubtless he (Rosdeitcher) put hi
hands to his face, which must have bee
bleeding profusely, and they touche
against the wall as he was being brough
down. The places where the blood-stain
show arc in very dark portion OF IN
house. and we had TO get lamp to I'M
some of them. In one place, where NOR
light fell. there seemed to be appearance
OF the stains having been erased, ana
spot on the floor seemed TO nave bee
|
an effort to oblIterate it."
| NOT ALL.
From the conversation with Mr.. Soutt
ward il was difficult to ascertain whethe
he has much more important evidence Q
not. though there is no doubt that he, sti
has some very interesting clues which hav
been withheld from the pubic. These, h
saws, he is unable to give to the news
papers.
From what could be gathered in the cor
versation with him, there seems TO be
doubt that other parties are also su'
pected and that another negro Will prob'
blv be arrested soon. The Sheriff sane
while the mystery was very knotty on
he had gotten the clues pretty stralgt
Friday evening and never saw prettle
Commemorative case. Now, however, d
thinks il likely that the crime Will be diff
cult to ferret ont.
Mr.. Southwark is Of the opinion that
Mr.. Feitig had any hand IN the murdc
it was not for the money the peddler po
sessed, but for some other motive 6
present unknown TO the public.
Talks with Mr.. Feitig.
