Some Wag Gives Away His Winter sup
ply of Apples.
ASsoSIA, Conn, Oct. 2S.-W. II. Plum-
mer, a wealthy resident of this town, has a
number of fine apple trees on his grounds
Tuesday night when the sun went down he
had stored in summer house on his lawn
eighteen bushel-baskets of fine fruit. all
picked by himself In the morning he in
tended to put the apples in his cellar.
Soon after breakfast Wednesday morning
he was called to the door by the coachman
of a neighbor, who returned to him two
empty baskets with the thanks Of his en-
ployer for the gift of two bushels of apples.
Mr.. Plummer was surprised, and before he
could speak the man had gone.
Left Not q Wrack Behind"
Before the aged fruit grower could settle
the puzzle another neighbor returned
three baskets with thanks. This led Mr..
Plummer to investigate and he found every
one of the eighteen baskets missing By
noon all but three of the empty baskets
had been returned, each accompanied by
the thanks of the recipients of Mr. Plum
mer's generosity. 1t was learned that dur
ing the night some practical joker had
stolen the apples and distributed them
with impartiality among the neighbors.
Each basket contained a plain white card
on which was the line in lady's handwrit-
ing: Compliments of W. II. Plummer."

KILLED WITH A CORN KNIFE.
The Print of a Bloody Hand on the Dool
Frame and Bloody Footprints.

The Print of n Bloody Hand on the Door
Frame and Bloody Footprints.
1t was a huge corn knife with a blade
fourteen inches long and broad and heavy
in proportion 1t was covered with blood
and hair, and so great had been the force
of the blows that the steel blade had been
cracked almost in half. The weapon had
been carelessly thrown beneath the dresser
by the murderers. On the table by the old
mans side was bottle of Old Tom gin, a
box of tobacco and two half-smoked pipes.
The murderers had evidently accomplished
their object, for Mr.. Kunneth's box of pa
pers was gone from its accustomed place
beneath his bed, and could not be found.
On the door frame was the print of a bloody
hand, and on the steps were the marks of
bloody feet.
Not the Act of Strangers
These led to the front gate where they
separated, and for 200 feet north and for
100 feet south and for a distance west the
footprints could be traced These seemed
the only clew. David c. Dolin, president
of the village: Joseph p. Langguth, an in
timatefriend of Kunncth. and Henry Sof-
fell. stonet litter, are a unit on the the
DRY that the murder was committed by
parties who were well acquainted with
Kunneth. by whom they were being
tertained in a friendly way, for the old gen
tleman Rad very sociable and congeniaI
disposition.

were covered with blood, indicating that
his head had been forced down on his legs
while he was being struck. Three fearful
gashes in his head, one five inches long on
the crown, one three inches long on the
right and another over the right temple,
are the CHASTITY traces OF the weapon used

BILE Papers-The Deed Done with the
Victims Own Corn Knife and the Scene
of the Crime Flooded with Human Gore
-GhastIy Particulars
CHICAGO, Oct. 2S-At his home in Melrose
Ernest Kupneth, a small capitalist, was
brutally murdered last Wednesday night.
The victim met his death while he was sit
ting in chair and holding a conversation
with two unknown men. No sooner had
the murderers accomplished their CORY deed
than they stole certain valuable papers
which Were in Mr. Kunneth's possession
and fed To reach the door of the house
they had to literally wade through their
victims blood. and at the garden gate they
separated, each leaving crimson trail be
hind TO mark his guilt. 1t was one of
the most dartardly crimes of recent years,
and has stirred the quiet villagers to
pitch of excitement bordering on frenzy.
Resembles the Smell Murder.
The murder resembles in its most prom
inent features the slaughter of the late
Amos J. Smell. The object of the crimi-
nails was not currency, but the possession
of some document or documents in Mr..
kunReth's strong box, and the evidence
left behind them tells the story almost as
perfectly as though it were written in an
open book Mr.. Kunneth was a retired
farmer 81 years of age, and the possessor
of a fine eighty-acre farm a mile northwest
of Melrose, besides his little homestead in
the village where he lived alone Mr. Kun
neth's habits Were not extravagant and he
had accumulated considerable money,
which he had lent on first mortgages to
various people, keeping the securities in
tin box beneath his bed.
Not Discovered Until Thursday.
Wednesday afternoon. shortly before
O'Clock Mrs. Alice Land met Mr.. Kunneth
on his way home. He wore no coat and had
on his slippers. He went directly to his
house and was not again seen alive by his
neighbors. About $40 O'Clock yesterday
morning Dietrich Woehler, Mr.. Kunneth's
tenant on the farm, called with his wife
to pay the rent. He knocked at the front
door, but receiving no response finally tried
the door, and finding il unlocked oponed it
and walked into the little parlor. Connect
ing the room with the dining-room are

closed. He opened them and let the light
from the front windows fall upon An awful
scene.
Horrible Sight Presented.
In his high-backed armchair sat Mr..
kunneth, his head thrown back and so
covered with coagUlated blood
as to be unacceptable. The floor was
covered with blood, which had been spat-
tered upon the walls and woodwork, and
all around Were traces of a hurried search
of the premises. Drawers had been opened
and closets rummaged and all about were
the marks of bloody hands. Two chairs
were drawn beside the table facing that in
which sat the murdered man, and when
the neighbors hurried in in answer to Mrs.
screams they searched the rooms
and found the instrument of death,
