WILLIAM H. BARTHOLOMEW.
He and Mrs. billiard COnspired to Muir
der the latter,s Husband,

He and Mrs. billiard COnspired to Muir
der the Latter's Husband.
EAsToN, Pa, April l0.-William
Bartholomew was hanged here Wednes-
day morning for the murder of Aaron
w. billiard. The drop fell at 1924
o'clock.
bartholomew walked quietly to the
scaffold, but after reaching it, became
violent and cursed his accusers and his
accomplice, Mrs. billiard, demanding
that the latter be hanged. His last
words were oaths. A few moments
after the drop fell Bartholomew was.
pronounced dead, and the body was
tut ned over to his friends. Early in the
morning religious services were held in
Bartholomew's cell, but he refused to
join in them, declaring that he was in
nocent of the crime charged to his ac-
count. His funeral will take place at
Weaversville next Sunday.
BarthoIOmew's Crime.
The crime for which William Bartho-
lomew was executed was the cold
biooded murder of his friend, Aaron w.
billiard, on Friday, Sept. C, 1889, after
having led his wife astray. The prepar-
ations were made with GOODNESS, Bartho-
lomew making bold his plans to Mrs.
billiard. At first she would not listen
to him, but finally he persuaded her to
play her part in the terrible crime. On
the Wednesday night previous to the
murder Bartholomew went to billiards
home while he was absent. Bartholomew
sent Jake billiard, the 13-year-old son of
his victim ON an errand, and then he
and Mrs. billiard arranged the final de-
tails.
Bartholomew took billiards gun,
which stood behind the door, and re-
moved the pin which strikes the cap in
the cartridge when the gun is fired, thus
making the gun useless. Bartholomew
was to come after midnight and by dis
turbing the chickens make them cackle.
This was to be the signal for Mrs. Dill
ard to arouse her usband, tell him that
some one was trying to rob the hen
roOst, and send him out to his death.
She was to give him his gun and also
lantern. She was to tell him to go
towards certain tree which stood be-
side the road, hold up the lantern and
look close if any chickens were up there.
Bartholomew was to be behind the tree
and he would shoot him,
This plan was carried out to the letter.
billiard was riddled with shot, and
though not killed outright he died be-
fore he could get into the house, toward
which he ran after receiving the fatal
wounds. Bartholomew hastened home,
and next morning went to work as usual.
When told of the murder he evinced no
surprise.
Mrs. billiard called for help, and sent
her son to rouse the neighborhood.
The neighbors came, but nothing could
be done.
Investigation by detectives led to the
arrest of the murderers, Mrs. billiard
turned states evidence. and her testi-
mony, with that of others. partly Cir
cumstantial, caused the conviction of
Bartholomew and herself. Her sentence
was commuted to imprisonment for life,
and she is now confined in the Eastern
penitentiary at Philadelphia

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April l0.-A SEN
sation out of the usual exists here. 1t
was caused by challenge to fight a
duel from Congressman Phelan, of Mem
phi5, to Editor John NJ. Fleming, of The
Evening Sentinel, published here. Re-
Gently, while the question of adopting
Phelan's state history was being dis
cussed, Editor Fleming criticised the
publication, and claimed that 1t would
not be wise for the legislature to adopt
such a publication. This called for let
ters of explanation from both gentlemen
which were published in The Memphis
Commercial
Friends of both parties supposed that
all enmity was at end, but Sunday Col.
Fleming received challenge from Con-
gresham PheIan, dated at Washington
city, accusing the former of being liar,
coward and scoundrel, and asking that
all preliminaries for a duel be arranged
at once. Editor Fleming, in a two-col-
umn editorial Tuesday afternoon, full of
sarcasm, explained the situation and de-
clined the offer of bloodshed. The pres
ence of Mr. Phelan is hourly expected
in the city. The affair has caused much
comment throughout this section.
