A MYsTRY SOLVED.
A Supposed Murdered Man Turns Up-Two
Men Accused of killing Him.

Men Accused of killing Him.
The "De Frame murder mystery"
which occasioned so much agitation In
Reading, Pa. in the summer OF 1890, was
solved recently by the unexpected reap
pearance Of Benjamin De Frame himself,
the man supposed to have been murdered,
De Frame was a small tenant farmer In
District township. On the night Of No.
vember g. 1889, he arose from his bed. and.
telling his wife that he heard strange
noises In the barn and must go and look
after the stock there, went out and did not
return. His wife knew that her husband
was involved in some embarrassing
money transactions. and thought that
he had gone away to escape trouble
One Of the neighbors. however, de-
clared that he heard cries and gun
shot that night coming from the direc-
tion OF De FRAMES barn, and many peo-
pie believed that the missing farmer had
met with foul play. This belief was still
further strerg thened when, In June, 1890
farm hand In tossing some old hay In
De FRAMES barn, turned up a bundle OF
bloody clothing, which Mrs. De Frame
afterward identified as having once been
worn by her husband. Then the report
was circulated that De Frame had been
murdered. and the wife and James Rep
pert. laborer who worked for the family.
were arrested and committed TO Jail
on suspicion OF criminal intimacy and
completely in the alleged murder. They
were discharged for lack of incriminatinR
evidence. and tho murder mystery"
passed out OF peoples minds.
Before DE Frame disappeared he had
unwittingly made himself liable 10 prose-
cution for forgery. He fed to Delaware.
and remained there for two years, until
the time In which he could be arrested for
forgery or fraud expired by statutoSS
Limitation. IL is explained that the
bloody clothing found In the haymow was
used in covering the head OF a hog which
DE Frame had slaughtered early In tho
fall Of 1880.
