MuHcic, I'D, IS enjoying a sensation
.Ht-n11+rt 1r--4T 0psTrns of-a rrlIss
which has been closed up for years and
the discovery of a freak perhaps as re
markable as ever entered a human mind.
The house in question is a fine old brick
residence, owned in 1876 by William
Mutterhorn, a well to do German, a re-
tired lumber merchant. In 1873 Mutter-
horn lost his wife, a very beautiful wom-
an, whose loss converted him from a
genial, pleasure loving man to a morose,
misanthropical recluse. He dismissed
all of his servants and refused to admit
all visitors, even his most intimate
friends, to his home.
His health in a few years became
wretched, and one day the unhappy man
sought a prominent lawyer of MunCie,
and announcing his intention of travel
ing for the restoration of his strength
gave him powers as his agent and in
structions to allow his house to remain
locked and sealed as he left it. No one
vas to enter it or even the extensive
grounds surrounding it. No limit was
placed to his intended absence, and no
surprise was felt as years slipped by with
ont his return.
Recently, however, his heirs, conclud-
ing he was dead, had the house entered,
and found in one of the upper rooms the
embalmed body of Mrs. Mutterhorn, ele-
gantly attired and reclining on a sofa,
while at her side lay a skeleton, which
was satisfactorily identified as her hus-
bands.
Mutterhorn is known to have been a
fine amateur chemist, and it is supposed
that he privately exhumed his wife's
body, embalmed it and kept it continu-
ally in his sight, till, feeling himself
about to die, he resolved to shut himself
up with his treasure and meet death at
its side. The two poor relics were in
TERED next day, followed to their final
resting place by an immense crowd

There are pretty smart people travel

driver of a Fourth avenue car a few days
ago, land we carmen now and then meet

IN his shoes boarded my car at Twenty
third street. He carried a grip, and 1 put
him down a. a matter-of-fact business
man. He was in a hurry, and says he:
Lay your whip on those horses; I'm
going to Hartford, and want to get to
the Grand Central station in five min

way that 1 asked him who he was. I'm

"In the space of a few minutes l was

would put a quarter in my hand for my
obedience. Well, sir, that young man
jumped from the platform, and after he
did so he turned around, made an often

THE OLSEN TRIAL.

Important Testimony introduced on the Part
Of the Prosecution.
MERGED, April 2O,-To-day has been very
interesting in the Olsen case. The first
witness, James Horsely, testified to seeing
Olsen leave Smelling at $50 o'clock on the
fatal Sunday night.
Mat Cruise, a shoemaker, testified that he
took the measure Of Olsen's foot at the re-
quest of the District Attorney. he said
the defendant wore mines. He was then
shown the bloody Shoes and after measur-
ing ttem said they would fit the defendant
This was considered important as the
defense claimed that the bloody shoes are
too large for defendant, but they are the
same size as the air taken from him In
jail.
H.K. Hulls, one of the appraisers of the
lvett estate, said the estate is valued at
sos, 013
Charles Wench said that IYett drank con-
siderable wine.
1t was a mystery to the defense why
witness was called to testify to this, but il
was soon explained when Sherman was
called.
Dr.. w. Y. Sherman, a mieroscopical ex-
pert, then took the stand, or rather a good
part Of the courtroom, for ne had three
large instruments and dozen books and
any number Of photographs with him to ex-
plain to the jury how he told human blood
from goats blood. He said he had been
given clothing by the District At
croscOpical investigation to see if the
stains were human blood. He found
blood corpuscles consistent with human
blood He found on the shoes blood mixed
with dust and human hair. The hair had
the appearance Of being moved by violence.
Witness gave scientific reason for reach
Ing the conclusion that it was human hair.
Witness said he found a secretion on the
hair peculiar to that Of human beings that
partake Of wine freely.
Witness was still on the stand when the
court adjourned, and Will take up most of
Tomorrow. It's thought now the defense
will begin Wednesday.

BAN LUIS OBIsPo, April 20.-The corpse
of a man named Charles French was dis
covered Saturday afternoon under circum-
stances showing a slow, lingering death
from starvation, shock and exposure.
French was living alone upon his claim,
about three miles east of Pozo, in this
county, and was missed from his cabin
about eight days before the discovery OF his
body. Search was made without success,
but finally the neighbors found the body of
the poor wretch pinned to the earth by a
tree which he had felled, and which had
fallen across his thighs, preventing
any movement. His cries could not
be heard and he had evidently worked and
struggled desperately but vainly to release
himself with his knife. He had dug away
at the hard earth and his torn and bloody
finger-nails showed the terrible efforts he
had made. He had to lie there through the
cold and stormy nights and the long days
until death released him. When found de-
composition had set in, and in the attempt
to remove the body the flesh stripped from
the bones. The verdict of the Coroner'S
Jury was in accordance with these facts.
