ecorTpAlE, Pa. April 9.-This place is
in fever of excitement tonight over
the arrest OF Captain Loar and his depu.
ties on the charge Of murder. Early
this morning James Mcbride and Robert

mer Nichols, on the above charge
They were brought here in squads and
taken to the squire's Office in as quiet 9
manner as possible. A large crowd
gathered, however. The defendants
waived q hearing, and commitments
were taken out, on which they will be
removed to jail tomorrow merning,
The feeling among the strikers against
Captain Loar and his deputieg is still
very high, and II is probably for these
reasons that they were taken to the
Eighteenth regiment camp, where they
will be carefully guarded until day
break. Nobody was admitted to the
'squire's office, save Secretary Parker and
the newspaper men. The defendants
say they are not worried over the ulti'
mate outcome Of the suits, but xpect Il
will necessitate considerable trouble. Al
the 'squire's office 1t was again said that
Captain Loar did not give the command
to shoot, and that evidence would be ad
duced 10 that eject before the courts.
Officer Gay says that Captain Loar a
Arst demonstrated against his arrest on
the grounds that he was now serving th(
State, bat finally waived his objections
when convinced thathe was wrong. Or

will be made 10 secure writ Of habeRl

SENSATIONAL MURDER CASE

Now ON Trial at Dallas cash Justified Il
Killing Young.
DALLAS. TEX. April 0.-rhe trial o
W. O. Cash, of Mckinney, for the kill
ing Of Edward Young, is now on and ex
cites great interest. Fifteen letter.
written by Mrs. Cash were introduced
as evidence to-day. They establish the
fact that Mrs Cash and Young were or
terms OF criminal intimacy, and are very
damsging to the deceased. The defense
will endeavor to prove by experts that
Cash was insane when he did the
killing.
Mrs. Cash, the divorced wife Of the
prisoner, is q witness for the defense.
She was put on the stand to-day, and
her testimony was sensational In the ex.
treme. Many Of the letters that Ed
Young wrote to her while she lived in
Kentucky, before she and Cash were di.
vorced, were produced and read in
court, oil OF which bear evidence Of hav.
ing been conceived in the devilish de-
sire to tear Cash's vile from him and
their three children, and ruin his home.
Evidence regarding Cash's movements
before he killed Young in Dallas, early
in February Of this year, indicates that
he was insane from brooding over the
wrongs INFLICTED upon him.
