THE WARRANT hhAO'
Mr.. reitiC took the paper in his hand and
read il carefully. He made some obJection

Mrs. Feitig came out, and when told that
abe was under arrest she declared that she

The Constable told Mrs. Feitig he would

II seems that Tyler and Smithcrs had
agreed while on the way TO make the arrests
tEat II would not do 10 take the mother
away from her children. especially az sucn
an untImely hour. and had determined 10
put the wife under arrest and leave her al
home and take the husband TO jan.
OBJECTED TO THE NEGRO CONSTABLE.
II appeared from Mr.. Felag's remarks
whilo talking with the officer that MS
principal reason for Directing 20 accom-
panying him was that the Constable was
negro man. A..
Captair TYLER should have sworn out
warrant for his arrest and sent an oincer
To take him 10 ia;l at midnight. lie DID
not know at the time that Tyler was
present. 49,,
Mr.. Feitig and the Constable tho iorine,
got a glimpse of white faces IN the cap anu
then expressed his Willingness TO go WIN
the officer.
He was allowed to 20 into his house and
make preparatione for the trip. In the
mean time neiohbor's family had been ap-
prised OF the midnight visit to Mr.. eitig =
and some of them came over to syppa-
thize with the family.
TAKEN TO JAIL.
Mr.. Feitig was not long in preparing 10
accompany the officer. aud he was put IA
the custody of the jailer about O'Clock.
II seems that the reason that Captain
TYLER was III such great haste TO make inc
arrests was that he had an intlmation tneV
some of the county officers were az wotA
on the same clue and wouldpro6aDiy MAKE
the arrests early Saturday morning. ana as

Az that time of night it was Impossible
for him 10 secure the services OF Whlte
magistrate and constable; therefore ho

now HIS CASE sTANDa.
Capfain TYLER saws he is confident that
| be has not made a mistake IN Grresting
MIR. and Mrs. Feitig. He thinks he has Sc
cured evidence TO prove that they are re-
sponsible for the peddler's death. but MS
case, he says. is not complete In inc next
| few DAYS he expects 10 seSuie 0oH'4"'''N
proof of their guilt
case to the Dispatch reporter. saying IL
would be unjust TO his side to do SO at TINS
| time.
II ia known. however. that he expects 70
prov. bv four witnesses that 'Mox' made
| statement before he died to the effect
| that he was hurt in Mr.. Feitig's house ana
that that gentleman was the person VINO
| struck the blow.
THE BLOODY TRAIL.
II appears that Captain Tyler is not fol-
lowing up the clue suggested by the
bloody spots on the back stairway Leading
from the room which Adams, who Is now
in iail. occupied.
The county Officials, however, reearu .ni'
as an important discovery.
The theory Of the detective seems TO De
that the peddler received his wounds whiIe
sitting in Mr.. FeitIg's chamber, and that
Adams aud Sully are not implicated IN the
crime at all.
Captain Tyler evidently Is OF oplnlon,
that Rosdeitcher did not sleep IN the sheo
where he was found the morning after ne
received his Injuries, but that after he was
knocked down in the house be was taken
ont and laid upon the clover-hay III the
stall.
The German Money.
Another clue which the detective thought
| an important one in the case was the Uer-
man notes which We're brought to Mr w;
X. Quarles on July 3d.. a lady entered
| the brokers' Office and said she wanted 10
sell him three hundred marks OF German
money. 49,
mark-the par value-but at the same time
| told her some other broker might pay her
| a small advance on that price.
The lady left his Office, remarklng tnat
she would 60 out see what she could do.
In about two minutes she returned, say
ing she knew Mr.. Quarles would DO what
was right. and she would accept his oiier.
The marks were worth exactly Sto IN
Tinted States money. Mr.. Quarles drew
his check on the Planters Bank Tor that
amount sent his clerk over, got the money,
and paid the lady.
IT WAS NOT MRS. TKITIG.
Mr.. Ouarles was under the IMPRESSION
| that the lady gave her name as Mrs. feltlg.
The circumstances being reported 10 the
detectiye he went TO work on the clue. and
| Thought he had secured valuable evidence
| i'm the case. but it transpires that the lazy
with the German money was not Mrs; ell
| tic. AS supposed. but Mrs. Susan flese.

and explained the matter
MRS. FIEGE's sTATMTST.
