MARSH'S MURDERER.
Seymour Searching Party Gets Sight of the
Criminal, but Fails to Overhaul Him.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind. Jan. 3.-The special train
that went out Friday night loaded with
officers and citizens of this place. in search
of the fleeing murderer of Lucebra Marsh
returned to this city last night and by it
came most of those engaged in the search.
The men from here report some exciting
scenes when 1t appeared that the pursuers
almost felt that they had their
man. jeremiah Anderson reports
that the man was driven from
his covert IN big thicket early yesterday
morning, that he approached the corporate
line of North Vernon and started toward
Butlerville. pursued by a large number of
men. many of them armed and mounted.
The criminal is thought to be the same
negro who was driven away from North
Vernon some time ago for stealing, and
from the way he keeps out of sight he GER
talnly is acquainted with the lay of the
land; R. o.. Balsley got sight of him
q Winchester rifle. and c. f. Wealth
ers chased him across large
open field, firing at him as he ran, and, OIL
though Weathers 10 fleet runner, the ne
gro distanced HIM IN quarter OF mile
little town of Nebraska by DR.. l.. NJ.
Mains. yesterday afternoon, which was
only for a moment, when the smoke from O
locomotive obscured his vision. The in
tense cold forced most of the
men to give up the hunt tempora-
rily. Late last night Mayor Frank Ben
nett authorized posters printed offering
a reward of $500 for the capture of the
murderer, and Marshal r. +. White has
sent them to all parts of the surrounding

JAY GOULD THREATENED.
Liable to Be Blown Up if He Does Not For
ward $10,0 900 to an Unknown German.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-For some time past
threatening letters have been received by
the Gould family which were evidently
written by q well-educated German. The
writer was evidently well acquainted with
Jay Gould's career. The letters dated as
far back as 1870, and related incidents con-
nected with the partnership between
Mr.. Gould and Jim Fisk and their
government of the Erie railroad. They
went on to speak of an accident on that
road in which the writer's father and
mother were injured. for which he de-
msuded the sum of $4,000. The writer
stated that If the $4,000 was not given up
forthwith Mr.. Gould was liable to be
blown mp in his office, or while walking in
the street or riding in his carriage. The
request was made that the money be for
warded TO q certain address in Canada, q
hotel being mentioned there.
Inspector Byrnes was notified, and he
dispatched two detective TO Canada. They
visited the hotel in question. and learned
from it's proprietor that he had instructions
to forward such letters to a certain town In
New Jersey. instructions had subsequent
ly been left not to open the letters but to
have them re-addressed to some place in
this city, but just where the police refused
to make known. The authorities refuse
to give any further particulars
regarding the affair or what their re-
searches have brought to light. They are
still at work on the case, however. Both
George and Edwin Gould were seen last
night in regard to these threatening letters,
but they would say nothing for publica-
tion.
Prinz Voa Micbaels. who has recently
devoted himself to lettering in the vicinity
of Jay Gould's Fifth-avenue mansion. was
arrested last night. To-day he was ar
raigDed in a police court, whore he told
the justice disconnected yarn about O
scheme he had on hand for an elevated
railroad in st. Louis. where he hailed from.
He incidentally remarked that the new
road would cost S1500O000 and that Mr..
Gould would certainly put up the money.
He also stated that he was willing to
marry Mr.. Gould's pretty daughter Helen,
and had no doubt he coIld secure that
young lady's consent. Won Michaels was
remanded to the Bellevue Insane payil-
ion, where, after an examination, the
doctors pronounced him hopelessly insane.

shots into the body OF Robert Parker ia
rapid succession and he fell dead in the
road. William Parker let go both barrels
of his gun ct Walters, hut both charges hit
Judge Garnto full in the stomach. and he
