HER STORY.
The Murderess of Her Husband
Takes the Stand.
She Claims Self Defense. and is Supported
by the Statement of the Chiid-The
Opinion Is Gaining Ground That
the Murder was Premoditated.

GREENUP, Ky, March 1S-The ex-
amining trial of Malinda Crump for
willful and malicious murder was
called Thursday before Judge j. w.
Kouns Prosecuting Attorney b. e.
Roe appeared for the commonwealth,
and Col. w. ]. Worthington and w.
j. A. Rardin for the defense. The
prisoner was brought into court
by Jailer J. P. Winter. and al
though the greatest snow-storm for
years in this section ragged, the court
house was crowded with spectators
eager to get glimpse of woman who
could in apparent brutality foully MUIR
der her husband. Turner Crump, the
father of the murdered man; William
Crump, brother; Charles Callihan, an
uncle, and John X. Nichols all testified
substantially the same about the
dying statement of Charles Crump
regarding the fatal affair. The ac.
cused, when sworn, denied accusing
him of consorting with lewd women,
but says when he came in she asked
him what made him treat her so, and
he answered roughly that he would
treat her as he pleased, and took up
the fire shovel and started toward her,
that she told him not to come back
there with that shovel; that when
within five feet of her he started
to raise the shovel, and she
fired five times at him striking
him three times and would
have fred more if the pis.
tol had shot more times. Her son, if
teen years old, testified just as the
mother did, and showed he had been
carefully tutored by using the exact
language of the mother. The woman
is brazen, defiant and vicious in her
manner, and has apparently never shed
Il tear since committing the deed. She
appeared in court wearing n sun-bon-
net large cross-bar pattern, gingham
dress, with brown shawl thrown over
her shoulders.
Evidence of both sides being heard,
the almost unanimous expression is
heard that it was premeditated murder
The examination of witnesses closed at
3 o'clock, and, owing to the lateness OF
the hour, court adjourned until Satur-
day morning at 10 clock, also, on ac-
count of the burial.

The Dead Bodies of Woman and Four
Children, with Their Throats Hacked
and Mangled in n Horrible Manner.
LIVERPOOL, March IA tragedy un.
paralleled in the history of crime came
to light through a most singular chain
of circumstances. The police of this
town have been pursuing an inquiry
into the disappearance of a woman and
her children, who formerly lived at
Rain Hill, part of Liverpool The in
quiry was started in connection with the
arrest at Melbourne, Australia, of a man
named Williams charged with muir
dering woman there Information
of this arrest, and certain matters that
had come to the knowledge of the Mel
bourne police, were cabled to Liver
pool, and an investigation was at once
set on foot, as it was inferred that the
disappearance of the woman and chill
dren was not due to their having left
their home, but to murder.
The police went to the house for.
merly occupied by the persons in ques-
tion. They lifted hearthstone from
it's place, and, after few hours dig
ging, discovered the body Of the miss
lug WOuudu HIS was lllLSu lIOlh lOo
resting-place, and Immediately beneath
it were found the bodies of two chill.
dren, on the top of which the woman's
body had been lying. The MUIR
derer had made a plentiful use of
chloride of lime to destroy the bodies
of his victims, and his object had
been in a measure attained, for the
bodies had been partly consumed by the
lime. After the three bodies were
taken out the police continued their
digging, it being rumored that the
bodies of other women or girls who had
! visited Williams were missing. The
excitement caused by the discovery of
the first three bodies was great, but it
reached fever heat when the bodies of
two other children were found to have
been buried under the house.
The first of the children's bodies was
that of girl of 10 years, who had been
strangled; the second was that of girl
of z; the third that of boy of five, and
the fourth that of baby about a year
old. The throats of the last three VIC
| Tins had been cut
The question who Williams really is
and how he lived remains a mystery.
On his first appearance at Rain Hill
he stayed at a hotel, where he led
rollickinS life, being a man of
free manners, with a general style of
wealth. He drank plentifully, but not
excessively, and was always ready for
champagne treats. He was fond of So
ciety, was a good story-teller, having
travelled extensively, and was wiling
to spin yarn, but when asked about
himself he Immediately became taci-
turn. He never gave au inkliug of his
personal history. He took photographs
from acquaintances, but never had him
self photographed.

A Plensant Dining-Room.

The dining-room should be large
enough to enable a person to pass
around the table comfortably when the
family or guests are all seated. 1t
should also be light and sunny, and
easily heated and ventilated. The most
essential pieces of furniture are table
of generous width, capable of being en-
larged, comfortable chairs and side
board. After that, if the room be large
enough and the purse will admit of the
purchase of a cabinet or two, with glass
fronts and sides, so much the betters
In these there can be kept dainty bits
of china and glassware. These cab
inets will brighten dining-room more
than anything else you can put into it,
possibly excepting pictures. If there be
no room for a cabinet a corner cup
board and some hanging shelves will be
a great addition. Pictures that suggest
pleasant things are of course always
desirable. A few thrifty ferns, flower
ing plants or evergreens add great
deal to the brightness and beauty of
any room, but particularly in the din
ing-room. Have them there if you possi-
bly, can. A heavy covering of white
felt or double Canton flannel is also
necessary for the table.-Ladies' Home

At Linden, in this county, Wednesday,
on the Monon route, Mr.. James Gal
braith, the messenger, while carrying
the mail from the post Office to the
train, had to pass between two cars
of freight train, on the switch.
While he was crossing and one
leg was hanging down between the
cross bars, the train started up, crushing
his leg between the cross bars, and there
being no brake to catch hold of, he
grasped the narrow wood along the
sides. He held on with his plucky ma
ture and rode ten miles to this city in
that terrible situation, enduring the
awful agony of the humping cars He
was discovered at the station and
placed on cot and surgeon called.
He is an old man, and 1t is wonder
he was not crushed under the train.
He displayed the same pluck in dress

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 17.-Wash-
ington Boyer, who is in Jail here
charged with killing his father, was in
tcrvied Wednesday. He refuses to talk
further than to declare his innocence
and to say that he thinks his father was
murdered by gang of men at the
Moore womans house. He says that
his father had 81, 500 on his person
when he left; that he accompanied him
to the depot but that the old man came
back and went to the Moore woman's
house, where he was killed. A two
thousand word special Wednesday night
from Newport contains an exhaustive
history of the crime and capture. 1t
seems to be pretty clearly established
that Washington Boyer killed his
father. They had quarreled because
the old man was spending all his time
with the woman Josie Moore. 1t is
a mistake that young Boyer was pay
ing court to this woman, also. There
is also every reason to believe that the
mother of Washington and wife OF the
murdered man knew all about the
crime.

Very Unlike the Original--Twenty-E Eight
Dollars Squared Every Thing with
Dooley Until lie Found His wife Wealthy

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 19.-
The sequel of an Enoch Arden story
with variations is just being written in
the form of sensational and most
singular snit for damages Briefly
told, the romance in real life is as fol-
lows: John Quinby, a union soldier,
was badly wounded in the battle
of Chickamauga, few miles
from here, in 1868, and left in a
temporary hospital in log cabin on
the field. During his convalescence he
became enamored of a confederate sup
posed war widow, one Mrs. Dooley,
and after his term of service expired he
returned and was married to her. Four
teen years later her first husband Ye-
turned Dooly, for $2s in cash
surrendered his claim to his
wife and COW, and left
early in the sixties and went his way
alone Quinby accumulated consider
able real estate, which the increase in
values made valuable. A couple of
years since he made to his wife deed
of his land in what is now Chicka maui
ga park. Dooley in some way learned
these facts, took legal advice and
was advised by an attorney that
as the woman in the case was
his (Dooley's) spouse-in-law the prop
erty in question was clearly his, and he
has come back to enter suit for the
land. Quinby has recovered his mental
balance, and win fight to the end of the
law for the woman he bought and the
land he earned.

TO CONCEAL THE EYES.
Embroidery Owes Its Origin to Peculiar
Persian Custom,


Persian Custom.
An exquisite species of embroidery
peculiar to Persia has it's origin in utili-
ty, and utility such as one would
never dream of in this country. The
ladies of Persia must completely con-
ceal not only their faces, but even their
eyes, when walking abroad. Bait as it
is also indispensable that they should
be able to see, network has been de-
vised for them to wear before the eyes,
through which they can see without be-
ing seen. 1t may be said here that they
do not object to this apparently severe
law of the land; for law it is as we'll as
custom. By means of this veil they are
80 absolutely disguised that they can go
where they please without being fol-
lowed or molested Not even a woman's
husband would dare to lift the veil, or
chuddah. He would be cut down on the
spot without mercy.
Now it is in the embroidering OF the
lattice work designs of the chuddah that
Persian women display marvellous skill
with the needle 1t is made of white
cambria, drawn and worked in geomet-
ric designs in white thread or silk.
Some of these patterns display exquisite
beauty and delicacy; tho Sc which are old
are almost like gossamer, and are of
soft creamy tint. -Harper's Bazaar.
