New evidence was obtained against
Bradham, the murderer, to-day. A party
was found who saw him drop the coupler
with which he struck the fatal blow and
then pick il up again and wrap it in his
handkerchief. This is one of the strongest
links in the chain of circumstantial evil
denoe which is being forged around the
prisoner. Another party was seen who
states that there was another negro IN the
store with Bradham few minutes before
the deed was done. Quite a snug sum OF
money has been voluntarily contributed
