John Grasty, the negro mentioned
above as being incarcerated in the cell
with Daniel, is thought to have heard
some remark dropped by the prisoner
which furnished clue. 1t is further
alleged that Daniel made partial con-
fession to Grasty, and he afterwards re-
ported the fact TO tho authorities. This,
OF course, is mere conjecture, as the
lips Of all who know anything of the
case are sealed, but certainly he must
know something Of Importance, as no is
really the only material witness outside
of the officers.
Daniel is medium-sized man with
sandy hair and freckled complexion.
He is rather uncouth in appearance, and
wore q SLOUGH hat and heavy overcoat at
the time of his arrest.
According to John Trouts testimony,
before the coroner at the time Of the in
quest, tho dress of Daniel compares
favorably with that of the man he saw
coming out of the vacant lot near DR..
Gray's residence and crossing the street
and follow on up the boardwalk after
Mr.. Massie, whom he (Trout) had met
just before.
1t is further alleged that Daniel
admitted having come down Campbell
street, on the night of the assault, as far
as Park street. Here he turned and
went across to the railroad, which he
followed as far as the Grocer furnace.
He staid there all night,
Daniel is said to have come from
Pittsylvania county, near Danville.
where his mother now resides.
In talk with the chief of police yes
terday evening, TINES reporter was
informed by that officer that in his
opinion Daniel had nothing to do with
h fbc -x<r
size of his foot did not compare with
the track found in the snow by Ser
| geant Jones on the night of the assault.
n Times reporter who was with tho
sergeant at the time, examined the
tracks thoroughly Those noted and
measured by ne sergeant were appar-
emily made by No. shoe, and ap-
peared to be running from the scere of
the assault.
But TIE TIMES man noticed other
tracks. They were made by a larger
foot, seemingly u No. s, and followed
in the same direction. The party who
made them was not running, as the
tracks were closer together and moro
distinct.
Were these larger tracks made by
daniel? They compare with the size OF
his foot, and from Daniels usual ap-
pcarance it seems like him that he
should be in no great hurry to get
away.
Then he must have been confeder-
ate. If SO, who was the man who wore
that No. shoe? Perhaps this is why
the details are kept hidden from the
public.
The grand jury have found a true
bill, and tho fact that the matter is
guarded with so much jealous secrecy
warrants the assertion that the firsi
link in deep, well-planned, AMI vii
famous plot has been obtained.
After the grand jury had reported, q
capias was issued by the court request
ing the city sergeant to take charge Of
Daniel and place him in the city Jail
This was done at once, and the prisoner
is now safe from everything except a
writ of habeaS corpus

days since we were most strikingly re-
minded of our certain decay" i'll the

Of the whole Order in Bennington, would
offer the following resolutions:
ReSOLued That in the death of our
Brother patriarch and Chevalier), we
recognize the Fatherly hand of a being
who doeth all things well, and have no
doubt but that this affection, to the sur
vivOrs so sad, is to him an entrance into
never-ending enjoyment, in that world
where sin enters not, and hope is lost in
fruition.
RESOLVED, That as we lay his body
away in the marrow house appointed
for all living" we desire to place on rec
ord our high estimation of Bro. Scott,
his fidelity to his Lodge, to his family,
and to his fellows; his faithful service
as an officer in the four branches of this
Order to which he belonged; his never
failing bellet IN the ultimate success OF
the brotherhood taught by Odd Fellow
ship, and his proficiency in communicate
ing the ritual of the society. Truly, his
place will be difficult one to fill in our
ranks.
ResOIred, That to his wife and child
land other near relatives), we extend
heartfelt sympathy, pledging ourselves
anew to the great motto of the order:
''Visit the sick, relieve the distressed,
bury the dead, and educate the orphan,
which is the command of our laws and
an obligation which our Order impera-
lively enjoins," pointing them to the
source Of all comfort and consolation
above.
ResOlred, That we set aside page in
our book of records to the memory of
Bro. Scott, p. G., p. ID. d. G. NJ, and
thereon inscribe these resolutions, that a
copy be sent to the widow of our depart
ed Brother, and that our charter be
