PREYED upon HIS Mind.
An Old Man Who Was Accused of
Being a Witch, Wants to Die.
HIS ALLEGED VICTIM IS NOW IN
An Insane Asylum, Where he Went in Preference
TO Standing the Consequences Of Numbering
His Wifs-A Strange Story-Was the
Murderer Insane or Merely Jealous?

PIrTsBURe, Pa, April 30.-A year ago on
the the 23d Of last January VIM. Faulk, a
German farmer of Bellevue, shot and killed
his wife. He was arrested, and upon plea
of insanity was sent to Dixmont Insane
ASYLUM, The story told at the trial was
that an old farmer named George Knauf1,
who claimed to be witch doctor, had real
ly been the cause of the murder. 1t was
stated that Knauff had told Faulk that he
was to kill the first rat he saw as 1t was the
devil. II he failed, he was to kill his wife
as a sacrifice. The rat got away, and he
killed his wife To-day old man Knaun,
who is seventy years Of age, called at the
coroner's Office and gave himself up.
He said if he was the cause OF Mrs.
Faulk's murder he wanted to be hanged.
Since the trial he ssys his life has been un-
bearable. He cannot get work, and ms
own children have shut the door upon MIN.
When he passes along the children cry
witch" and throw stones at him, while
mothers hide their babes, fearing tnat ne
will cast an evil eye on them.
He denies that Faux was insane, ana
claims that Faulk killed his wife because
he was jealous Of hired man. He SAID ne
would have committed suicide long ngo II u
had not been for the disgrace upon MS
children. The old man was heartoroKen,
and asked TO be locked up.
The coroner tried TO pacify him, ana
finally succeeded in persuadlng MIN 10 go
home, promising to look into the case.

TIE KEYSTONE BANK.
Further Examination of the Bank TX

WASHINGTON. y. c., April S0.-Con-
troller Lacey continued his testimony To-
day before the keystone Bank investi-
eating committee He went over the story
of Wanamaker's deal in Reading with Lu-
cas-. and the overissue OF keystone STOCK
In connection Herewith.
A communication dated March %, from
Examiner Drew, recommended that ior tne
present no steps be taken against Presi-
dent Marsh, as he was of great assistance
10 him in the work OF examining the af1alrs
of the bank, and Also said that the DIS
trict Attorney had shown him telegram
from the Attorney @ eneral, directing that
for the present no steps be taken In the
prosecution OF Mr.. Marsh.
Whether or not the recent alarm caused
by the manifestations OF the anarchists will
have the effect in the municipal elections 10
be held in France tomorrow, II returning
candidates who are known TO be we'll dis
posed toward the government remains TO be
seen. A dispatch from Rome, received at
midnight, contains a general review OF the
situation in Italy. The feeling Of public
alarm, it appears, is less accute than on the
eve of last May Day, yet certain feverisn
symptoms are manifest, arising from num-
erous recent arrests.
A number OF kilograms and letters giving
the daily aspect Of the affairs OF the Key
stone Bank and the movement TO resusci-
tate IL were put in evidence. The commu.
nications were from Examiner Drew and
others, and the sanguine tone as TO The sue
cessful rcsuscitation OF the bank which
pervaded them was very striking when
read in the light of the developments which
have since occurred.

Observation-Disclosures.

Mr. Harry Vane Milbank is an English
man nv birth but has lived on the Cont
nent the greater part of his life He was
educated at Eton ana afterward joined the
Blues. With his regiment he passed through
the war in the Soudan, ana was
present with General Herbert Stewart
when he was killed. His principal other
occupation has been TO spend money and
frht duels. He has owned racing stables
in England. Germany and France, and,
while not known as plunger, mas oeen d
constant PLAYER at most of the gaming clubs
of the European capitals. He has gone the
mace as few, even of his own countrymen,
HOW many duels Milbank has fought
even his best friends do not know, but he Is
said 10 have participated in sixteen or
eighteen. 1t is a sore subject with MN ana
one that he seldom discussed even wltG ms
most intimate friends. The natural IN
ference is that a man who mas
killed four men in single COMBAT is
n bloodthirsty monster. But Mil
banE has never provoked a quarrel. He
considers himself unfortunate in having oo-
tanned a reputation as duellist. which ne
has been compelled to uphold all over
Europe. where, particularly in France and
Italvl ambitious fighters have schemed TO
bring about uuarrels for the sake OF test
ing their skill with pistol or rapier against
an Englishman.
Harry Milbank is son OF Sir t'reder'
ick Milbank and grandson OF marx
Milbank, who married the daughter OF the
first Duke of Cleveland. His sister is the
wife of Count Kleist Won Loss, German
nobleman, who is brother-in-law oil the
Duke of Hamilton. oooo
The young man has already spent ESUO,-
900 and is not now possessed OF a large IN
come. but there is a probability that within
a short time he may be numbered among
the score OF richest Englishmen.
The late Duke Of Cleveland, whose per
sensl estate after his death was valued at
q. .OOO, 900 sterling was one OF the greatest
minerrl owners in Greet Britain. He
owned a large part Of Durham and the
richest coal and iron district in England.
Sir Frederick Milbank would have been
the unouestioned heir TO this entire estate
had he not consented some years ago to cut
of the entail in consideration Of 5OO,OOo
Sir Frederick now believes, and ne is up
held by eminent legal authorities, that his
action in consenting TO cut on the entail
was illegal, and he has brought suit on oe-
half of himself and his son Harry to obtain
possessiou of the vast property.

its i'm the rear the three unfortunates had
evidently tried 10 make their escape oy
way of the front.
The work Of exhuming the three bodies
from the mass of debris was slow, and "
was an hour before they lay side by side IN
the collins. Before they were taken away
thev were identified as those OF William L.

LYNCHED IN NASHVILLE.
Eph. Grizzard Strung Up in the City In
Broad Daylight.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 20.-A mob OF
between 200 and 800 men made an attack on
the Jail here at an early hour this morning.
Their intention was take out and hang
Eph. Grizzard and the other three negroes

outrage of Miss Bruce at Goodlettsvllle
few DAYS ago. They were met by the Shell
i'll. who had been warned OF their intention,
snd long psrley ensued.
The Governor and Adiutant General
in the meantime appeared and promised
that Justice should be done. Words ana
promises seemed 10 be useless 10 allay
the fury Of the mob. A man with crow
bar attacked an iron door. others began
battering with axes and clubs. Finally,
shot was fired on the outside which was
returned by the officers, seriously wound
ing one of the mob, A. L. Guthrie
Daylight appearing, the mob decided 10
depart. but avowed their intention or re-
turning and hanging at least one OF the
prisoners.
Al two o'clock this afternoon, the mob
assembled on the square. They marched
10 the jail and apparently without inter,
fereace on the part Of the officers, secured
the fiend, Eph Grizzard, put rope around
his neck and left in a northeast direction
with him.
The mob hanged Grizzard at the east END
Of the bridge across the Cumberland river
in the heart of the city, after wnlcn tney
riddled his body with bullets.
