GUILTY SIGNS THICK
AND ALL POINT TO THE NEGRO VIM
WEST
As the Murderer Of the Crouch Family-A Detect
ives Theory Of the Crime-West's Where
atOats on Tuesday - His Wife
Makes Fatal Admissions

WAsHISGToN, PA, May lG.-All other
theories as to who committed the Crouch
murder. but the one duplicating vii.
liam West, the colOred man arrested AT
Beaver Falls, yesterday, have been
abandoned. A police detective, who re-
turned from Bentleysvile last evening,
gave the correspondent the following
story. which can be implicitly relied on
"When ! left this place the evening
the news Of the murder reached here,
had in my mind strong suspicion as Ia
who was the murderer OF the Crouch
family. | am we'll acquainted with the
neighborhOod, and on reaching Bent
leysyille went to his place OF residence,
but found, as had expected, that he
had left. This man was William West,
who was arrested at Beaver Falls yes
terday.
From information derived from
members Of his family, learned that
West, who does not stay at his home all
the time, had been there for several
days. On Tuesday morning, at eleven
o'clock, he left the house and went in
the direction of an old coal mine, which
is also i'm the direction of the Crouch
residence.
THEORY OF THE MURDER.
"Now, my theory is that West went
to the coal mine, stayed there during
the afternoon, and as night approached,
secured the club which did such awful
work, and then went to the Crouch res
idence. Within a few feet Of the house
an imprint in the ground shows that
the murderer put his foot on the club
and broke a piece off it. Everything
indicates that he then went to the
door and knocked, and as old man
Crouch was the only one Of the
family who was really likely 10 hear or
notice the knock, as Mrs. CEOuchis very
deaf. and Andrew, the son, an Invalid,
and mentally unbalanced, the old man
went TO the door and opened il. The
murderer must have pushed in imme-
diately, as the club was too long to be
swung in the doorway, and the body OF
Crouch was found within two feet Of the
door. Once i'm, with the old man dead,
it was an easy task to step to the other
room and. with few blows, Kill the al
most blind mother and the Invalid son.
West, the negro now in custody,
bears a bad reputation, and had he
been in Bentleysyille when | arryen |
would have arrested him on sight. An
other thing that II very suspicious
about West is, that as he left his home
at / o'clock in the morning, going in
the direction of Bentleysyille and the
Crouch house, how is it that he was seen
by no porson In Bentleysyllle on his
road to MOnongahela City? He must
have avoided Bcntlcysville, and for
what reaSon?"

MRS. VESTS STORY.
She Says Her Husband Was Out the Night
of the Murder.

ROCHESTER,. PA. May l6.-The white
woman who claims to be the wife Of the
colored man named West, admitted to
Officer Lazarus, who arrested her at the
Nicklc Plate Restaurant, at Beaver
Falls. Yesterday, that her husband was
away the night of the murder, and when
he returned next morning he gave her a
500 bill and two s. bills, and said:
1--WE must pack up and get out of this.
have committed crime, and we must
go before they get on TO US"
West talked freely while at HEAVIER
Falls. He told a straight story as to his
whereabouts on the night Of the mur-
der, and claimed to be able to prove an
alibi
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE GATHERING.
Although only five hours have passed
since Vests arrest, strong circumStan-
tial evidence is accumulating. When
seen last in Monongahela City, which
was on Tuesday night, he wore differ
cnt suit of clothes from the one he had
on when arrested at Beaver Falls, yes
terday This morning the question
about that was put TO him 50 abruptly
by Chief Murphy that West admitted
the fact at once, probably without
thinking what a mighty piece Of cvi-
dcnce it might become against him. lie
said that he threw the suit he had on
in Monongahela City away because it
was not fit to be worn any longer. When
asked where he east 1t off, he replied In
Beaver Falls, and that he threw it into
the back yard Of the "Nickle Plate
restaurant there.
The so-callcd "Nicklc Plate" restau-
rant. in Beaver Falls, is the place where
West. the woman and the boy were
found by the officers yesterday and ar
rested. The only time that West lost
his self-possesSion since his arrest was
when Chief Murphy asked him questions
about that mysterious suit OF clothes.
II is expected that the suit or clothes in
question. if it can be found, will tell
the story Of the murder, and that II
West is guilty the evidence will be so
overwhelming as to force him into a
confession. II it is not found where
West says he left is, he must have good
reason for not revealing its hiding
place

\ Fine Performance.

Nine. Janauschek appeared at the Opera
House, last evening, supported by a strong
company, in that intensely interesting and
dramatic play, Meg Merrilies: The
house was comfortably filled with very
-appreciative audience, and the frequent ap-
piause showed that Janauschek made big
hit. The play is rather a weird one, and
the character of Meg Merrilies' is Ger
tainlv an odd one. while Janauscheks act
ing IS like that Of no other actress ever seen
on the Opera House stage; II IS lull qi
silent or speakiag. She holds the attention
of the audience spellbound. The support IS
very good all the way through. BY request
Meg Merrilies' will be repeated at the
matinee to-day, and tonight Nine. Jan
auschek will be seen in Wheeling for the
last time in her impersonation OF that great
Shallespearean character, Lady Macbeth.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Clash Between It's Leaders ana Southern
Congressman.
tc - Drnfsfar


WASHINGTON. d. c., May 16.-The
Farmers Alliance is causing Southern
members of Congress great uneasiness.
The Alliance has a legislative committee
that remains in Washington 10 press the
farmers claims before Congress. In the
hope Of meeting the demands OF the
Alliance a committee OF southern
Congressman, composed OF seventeen
Democrats, with Stewart, OF Georgia, as
chairman, was appointed to confer with
the Alliance leaders. They met In con-
ference last night and talked over the
situation until nearly midnight.
Stewart explained that the South
ern Congressman could not sup
port some OF the measures offered by
the Alliance, and pointed out the objec-
tions to what is known as the sub-trcas-
nry or Government store house Dill.
He said that the measure was impracti-
cable and advised the Alliance to adopt
a compromise offering land as a basis oil
government loans or advances instead
of farm products. The Alliance leaders
manifested disposition to hold to their
sub-treasurv plan, but with rejecting
the offer on compromise consented TO
another conference to be held this week.
Mills AGAINST THE PLAN.
Representative Mills, former chair
man of the WAYS and Means Committee,
and author Of the Mills tariff bill, has
prepared for publication letter point
ing out his objections to the legislation
proposed by the Farmers Alliance, He
severely criticises the sub-treasury or
government storehouse bill, holding
that it is impracticable and that IL
would not only violate the principles OF
our government, but would destroy our
financial system.
