WASHINGTON, March 23.-The trial oi

widespread attention, as the witnesses

bama and Louisiana Mr. Taulbee was
shot on Feb, 2S, 1890 and died IN the fol.

cause Of death was heart failure, the result
Of degeneration Of the heart. due in meas

but more particularly due TO extreme old
age. At times for about two years General
Johnston has shown unmistakable signs
Of a general breaking down. His mind
often became bewildered so that he could
not tell where he was or how he came
there. While his friends and attendants
knew that he might pass away at any
time, yet they had had no warning tina,
the end was so near. Governor Mclean

A New Murder Recalls the
Mary Tobin Mystery.
HER FATHER KILLED AND BURNED

Grave Suspicious That He Was Put Out
Of the Way Because He Had Learned
Who the siayers of his Daughter Were.
A Strange Tragedy.
OIL Cry, Pa, March s3.-The citizens Of
franklin were shocked Sunday by the
news that n. r. Tobin, Of that place had
been murdered He was the father Of
Miss Mary Tobin, who was mysteriously
drowned at Clifton, Staten Island, nearly
two years ago. Her former home was
Franklin, where she was teacher 10 the
public schools. She went to New York to
pursue special studies. She was accom-
plished and beautiful, and at the time OF
her death was engaged to be married her
disappearance taking place almost ga the
eve Of the expected marriage. The mystery
surrounding her death has never been
solved, but that there was foul piay con-
nected with 1t has never been doubted uy
her relatives and friends.
Found Dead in the Ruins.
Mr. Tobin was fifty-two years old and
was tailor. He was well known IA the
business and religious circles Of Franklin.
His wife and two children went into the
country Saturday and he was at home at
night alone. At o'clock Sunday morn
Ing the fire department. was called out.
His residence was in flames In the ruins
Of the building two hours later was found
the dead and partly burned body of Mr..
Tohin, dressed, with the exception Of coat
and hat 1t was lying face downward on
the parlor floor. He had expected 90 drive
into the country early in the morning for
his wife and children, and this accounted
for his being nearly dressed.
Evidence OF Foul Play.
There was undoubtedly foul play. To-
bins body was found in crouched POSI-
tion ia the parlor, the head resting in
pool of blood, and over the eyes there was
a big bruise The autopsy made by the
doctors showed that he was not stiiled by
the smoke, but that he was choked to
death. Marks resembling the imprints Of
a mans finger nails were found on the
dead mans throat. Tobin was a powerful
and active man, and he must have had
several assailants. A brace and two bits
evidently used in gaining entrance to the
house, were found.
He Knew His Daughters slayer.
It is thought that Tobin had obtained
Information regarding the foul play whlch
caused his daughters death, and chat this
fact had become known to the guilty per-
sons, and, therefore, that whoever was re
sponsible for the death Of Mary Tohin also
planned the murder Of her father.
Tobia Was to Fight ben Hogan.
Detectives have been at work continu-
ally ON the drowning mystery, and Mr..
/ Tobin is reported TO have said recently
that loop would soon be found in the
| right place When Tobin came 20 this
country from England his errand was to
/ fight Ben Hogan, the then notorious fight
er and bad man OF the oil regions
Tobin soon became converted, and his
life from that time became one Of philan-
thropy aud good works. He frequently
took poor boys from the streets and sup
| piled them with clothes He looked after
poor families and held meetings among
the prisoners in Jail. {

Tobin's body was found off the rocks at
