STORY or THE CRIME.
The crime for which Bartholomew
was hanged was the brutal murder OF
Aaron W. billiard, near Beersville,
Northampton county, on the morning OF
September 9, 1889. Bartholomew and
billiard were farmers and lived about
three miles apart. Bartholomew was a
widower and frequently visited Dilliard's 8
home. These visits resulted in a scandal
and billiard changed his place Of resi-.
dence. The visits were afterward re-
newed and Bartholomew was made vel.
come because he helped support the
family. Later on billiard had reason to
suspect his wile's inidelity, and he pro.
posed to remove to Mercer county. Bar.
tholomew wanted to 60 along, but the
billiards refused to take him.
Then Bartholomew proposed an elope.
ment and Mrs. billiard declared she
would not leave the place until after hel
husbands death. Two days before the
murder Bartholomew called on Mrs
billiard and proposed to put her hus
band out OF the way. 1t was agreed thai
he should come shortly after midnight
and disturb the chickens that roasted or
a tree near the house. Mrs. billiard wa!
to arouse her husband, send him dowr
to the yard with his gun and lightec
lantern, and when he neared the tire,
she should tell him to look up at tn,
hens. The plan wss carried out. Dil
lizard was shot near the tree, and HI
staggered back to the house and fell dea,

returned to his s9home and when th
crowds gathered the next morning t
inquire about the tragedy they were toll
