On Wednesday sophronia Gribble ap.
peared before Squire Davis and made
information on which three warrants
were issued, the charge being murder.
Tho Gribble woman has for some time
been known about town. She lived
with William Carter without tho formal.
ity OF Il marriage ceremony. Recently
Sir. Carter and Miss Aggte Post daugh.
ter Of Ephraim Post, Of West Alexander,
we're married. This did not please tho
Gribble woman, and slio told n story In
Squire Davis Office on which warrants
we're issued for William Carter, Miss
Poet and DR.. II. i. Daguley.
Yesterday Chief OF Police Delbrugge
and Officer Shorts went out 10 West
Alexander, Pa, and arrested Mr.. Carter
and the young woman. She was not
known to have been married 10 Carter
till after tho arrest, when tho marriage
license was shown to tho officers. They
were brought 10 the city on the d. 4 Q.
train, arriving here last night at '0:l5.
Word Of tho Atari In Bonlo way reached
Dr.. Baguley, aud yesterday he called on
Prosecuting Attorney Howard and had
II talk with him. lie made arrange
men,s 10 respond to u telephone call,
whenever be vas wanted, to prevent the
Formally OF Ill arrest. This arrange
ment, 90 far rs known, was entirely Sat.
isiaCtory.o Mr.. Howard
Last night, however, about nine
o'clock, Squire Davis learned what DR..
Baguley liad done, and he at once order.
cd his Immediate arrest. Lieutenant
Frohmc teltphoned for the Doctor, and
no promptly came up TO police head
quarters.
There he learned for tho first time
the gravity OF the accusation. Squire
Davis said he could no: admit him ia
bail, and the only course WAS to send
him 10 jai! for the night. Friends oil
DR.. Baguley, however. called Judge John
A. Campbell, Of the Circuit Court, from
his bed ut the Mcclure house. Attorney
General Caldwell was present informally
for the State, and Judge Melvin appear
ed for DR.. Baguley. Deputy Clerk
Walton was also sent for.
Judge Campbell admitted NIL three
prisoners TO hail In 81, 900 each, for Their
appearance at 3 o'clock this afternoon
before Squire Davis for a preliminary
examination. Two prominent citizens
went on their bonds, and they were re
leased.
The details OF the charge are that Miss
Post gave birth to a living child at Car.
ter's house, OH the South side, last Feb
ruary, ms the result Of operations per,
formed by DR.. Baguley; that the chile
was put to death, aud the body burned
Everybody who knew Dr.. Baguley,
and who heard Of the charge, at once EN-
phGtically avowed their beliefin his In
nocence; and when they learned that
the warrants were Issued on Miss Crib
ble's complaint, and under tho circum'
stances which exist, all were indignant
1t was frequently remarked that no rep
utable physician was safe nom SINH
lar trouble, and that. II the squire
could not take bail, he certainly
could have waited till this morning tc
cause the arrest. DR.. Baglley had acted
the part Of an innocent and high.mind'
ed man. He had ample opportunity tt
escape. There was no reasonable
ground to believe be would do go. He
had an honorable understanding with
Prosecutor Howard, whoee %rcsponsibil'
ity vas certainly as great as the squire's
He was put to needless trouble ant
annoyance, for no laadable purpose.
Dr.. Daguley, when asked about the
case, denied that there vas any trath in
the woman's story, or any foundation
for the a%ccueation. So far, the case is 9
question OF veracity between him and 9
woman with a motive to cause Mr.. AMI
Mrs. Carter trouble.
