he was too poor to buy he: a coffin.
Later on Williamson had a prelimin-
airy hearing and waived examination.
He was bound over to wait action of
the grand jury and committed to Jail
without bord. Nothing more was
done with his case until to-day.
Williamson was seen by a BAzoo
representative at noon to-day. He
said he did not know what the iudict-
ment was for, as be had not read it,
but supposed it was for the killing of
Jefferson and Charles Moore. He
also stated that he was going to give
the state a hard fight and that the
confession he had made was obtained

manner about the trial. evidently

THE ALLEGED WRECKERS.
They Were Taken to B00nyille
and Will Answer to the
Charge of Burglary.

The alleged train wreckers, Bob
Ferguson and Charles Charters were
taken to Boonville last evening by
Deputy Sheriff Rymel of Cooper
county, and will be held to answer to
the charge of burglary, which they
admitted, as stated in yesterdays
B. zoo.
John Huffman, who saw three men
come out of the Mt. Etna school
house the morning after the Missouri
Pacific train was wrecked, arrived
previous to their departure and being
shown the prisoners he failed to rec.
ognize them as the persons he had
seen.
The detectives are by no means at
sea. There are many clues yet for
them to unravel and they are by no
means satisfied that they have not
caught the men who committed the
fendish deed. Detectives Tutt, De-
Long, Dickey and Crowthers were in
the city during the forenoon, and
further developments may be ex-
pected at any moment.

A Fractures Skull

Unless the Boonville girls intend
to adopt suspenders and trousers out
right; they ought to discard the little
shirts and necsties and collars that
they are wearing so generally this
year. No woman looks natural in
male attire, and besides, these slick
fronts are extremely dangerous. There
is case on record of young fellow
who laid bis head on one few nights
ago and unwisely tried to put his arm
around the girl at the same moment.
She moved little closer to him to
give him better hold. when all at
once his head slippt d down the slick
shirt front like toboggan slide. shot
of on the floor and fractured bis skull.
Other accidents, not quite 80 serious
but of sufficient importance to sup
port the belief that they are very
unsafe articles of apparel, are reported.

Tried 10 Saw Ont.

Yesterday morning Mrs. Smith,
wife of Sheriff Smith, discovered the
prisoners saving one of the bars in
the south corridor of the Jail. As
soon as Mr.. Smith returned from the
Court House, he was informed of the
act of the prisoners and at once set
about to locate the bar on which the
saving was done. 1t was not until
late in the afternoon that his efforts
were rewarded. He found that bar
had been sawed nearly in two and
that it had been filed up with soap
and then smoked, which put it in such
a condition thatit could not be detect.
ed by one unless they were
looking for it. The bar was taken
out and repaired yesterday evening.
Mrs. Smith in conversation with q
BAzoo representative said that they
had been watching for such an act for
over a week and it was not until
yesterday that they had been able to
detect the operations.
The instrument used to do the saw-
ing was the steel shank ola shoe, and
it had probably been thrown in the
sewer when the prisoners found out
that their actions had been detected.

Ferguson got into The

He wiited, and admitted to not only
sleeping in the Mt. Etna school house,
but also to ali the burglarits commit

tions in regard to the wrecking OF the
train. but there the officers struck a
large-sized knot. He denied that he
or his partner had been implicated 10
the fearful deed, and he could not be
stirred from his position. The detect
ives stirred up his antecedents
and faced him with proofs
Of his previucs ill-conduct
and could gain the only futher ad-
mission that he lived in Brooklyn in
stead of New York City.
Ferguson was taken back to the
city Jail just in time for his dinner.

Its now given out that the Mis-

Charters and Ferguson were not con-

INDICTED FOR MURDER.
Thomas Williamson Will be
Tried Tor Mur dering Charles
and Jefferson Moore.
A History of the Fiendish Crime
an Interview With viii
liamsOn-He Hopes to
be Acquitted.

This morning at 9:45 o'clock the
grand jury fled into the criminal
court and handed in a batch ofindict-
ments among which were two bills
against Thomas Williamson, charging
him with murder in the first degree,
in the killing of Charles and Jefferson
Moore.
After the jury had returned to their
Dom the court ordered that copy OF
the indictment be made and served on
the defendant, who was in the county
jail. Forty-eight hours after the read
rng of the indictments, which is
according to the law, Williamson will
be brought into court and day set
when his trial will be taken up.
THE HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
On the morning of the 26th of May
which was on Monday, it was reported
to the city authorities that man had
taken poison and was at that time ly-
ing on the floor in Machinery hall in
the park, in dying condition. Off
Ger Gossage, with the assistance of
others, went to the park and brought
the man to town aud took him to the
Salvation army barracks, which at
that time was on Second

street, IN tne hlley Ouli1lng.
Medical aid was summoned and
antidotes were given and in course of
day or to he was brought back to
his usual state of health.
About / o'clock of that day farm
mer named Albert Paxton come to
town and reported the finding of the
body of Jefferson Moore buried in
the cellar under his Moore'sl house
and that a man named Williamson
was suspected of having committed
the crime. Previous to the time
Paxton came to town, Williamson
had been recognized by members of
the Salvation Army, and on Paxton's
arrival in the city he was taken to
Williamson. He identified him as
being the man suspected of the
crime. Paxton stated at that time
that Williamson had been living
with Jefferson Moore about two
months. He also stated that JEFF.
Moore's son Charles had been missing
for two weeks and it was feared that
he had shared the fate of his father.
The farmers made q search OF the
premises and late that afternoon
found Charles Moore's body buried
face down in q field about two hun
dred yards from the house under
which his father had been buried.
An inquest was held over the dead
bodies the next day, May 9th, and
the jury returned a verdict that
Charles and JEFF. Moore came to their
death by blows which had been struch
by Williamson. 1t was remembered
by some that Williamson had q wife
and one child. A search was made
of the place, some six miles
northwest Of town, where
Williamson formerly lived, and the
body of his wife was found buried
near the house. A search was also
made for the child, but as yet it has
never been found. The body of his
wife, when found, was about six
inches under the ground and from all
appearances had been buried in hole
dug slanting at an angle of As degrees
with the surface of the ground. The
body had been put in the hole feet
foremost and her knees were cramped
up to her stomach.
The three deaths were laid at VIII
liamson's door. At first he denied
them all, but later on he confessed to
the killing of the two Moores. saying
he killed Charles Moore about two
weeks before he was found, and that
the killing was the result of a fuss they
had over the clearing of some
land. He further confessed that
he killed old man Moore one week
later because he threw a chunk of
wood at him. He denied killing his
wife, saying she died of cramp collie
and that he buried her where she was

The grand jury returned a verdict
late this evening against Judge j. P
Higgins for murder in the first
degree.
The court carefully examined the

plaintiff to bail. The amount Of the
bail was not named by the court at
the hour Of going to press.
