KILLED HIS WIFE.
Columbus Deckard of Guthrie Shoots
His Vile in the Heart.

BEDFORD, Ind, Jan. 23.-[Special. Re
port reached here this afternoon that
Columbus Deckard. living in Guthrie. Ten
miles north of here. had shot and in
s.-ntly killed his vile at their residence.
THE SENTINEL correspondent at once went
to the place whore the killing occurred.
The coroner was notified and was there
also to hold the inquest over the remains.
The post mOrtem examination developed
the fact that the ball had entered between
the fourth and fifth rib, ranging in a down
ward direction to the heart. Mrs. Mary
Nel-on and others of the nearest neigh
bors were interviewed. and IL appears
from what they said that they had not
been living happily together.
Mrs. Deckard was seen at the barber
shop just prior to the shooting by several
OF the neighbors. IL seems evident that
he was seriously jealous of her. for when
she was about TO return from the shop to
her residence shs noticed her husbands
approach which terribly alarmed her, and
she seemed terror striken with fear.
As soon rs he came to the house and
found her absent he went to the shop and
demanded her return 20 the house at
once. making threats that If she did not
comply Immediately he would blow her
hrain- out He was arrested and will be
brought here.

MURDERED IN A SWAMP.
The Body of A. j. Morton Found Frozen
Stiff in Northern Indiana.

The Body of A. j. Morton Found Frozen
Stiff in Northern Indiana.
CHICAGO. Jan. 23.-The body of A. J.
Morton, twenty-five years Of age, clerk
in the employ of the Philadelphia & Read
ing coal company, was found in the Full
lerton marshes today frozen stiif. There
was nothing of vaue on the body when it
was found and the police believe that the
young man was murdered and robbed.
Sunday, Morton, in company with
Thomas Stevenson. a member of the Calu-
met shooting club, went out TO the
marshes. which sre a short distance be-
yond the Indiana line, for the purpose OF
hunting. After tramping around
in the marshes for some time
the men lost their bearings and
could not find their way out. In wading
through the swamp Morton became ex-
hausted and could go no iurther. Steven
son carried him on his back for some time,
until tEey fell in with q party OF
men who told them that they
were going TO Miller, Ind., and
would take Morton with them aud put
him on q Chicago train at this point This
was agreed to, and Stevenson went to the
house of the Calmet shooting club, spent
the night there, and came in this morn
ing expecting to find that Morton had
come in ahead of him. When he found
that nothing had been heard OF him. he at
once set OH foot the search which resulted
in the finding of Morton's body.
There were no wounds on the corpse,
and it is thought that he was stunned
with a club and died OF exposure, or that
he was killed outright by blow on the
head. post-mortem examination will
be held tomorrow.

DEMPSEYS STORY.
The Defendant in the Homestead
Case Says No Poison Was Used.

PITTsBURG. Jan. 1S.-The defense in the
Homestead poisoning cases against Hugh
Dempsey occupied this mornings session
OF court by examining a large number of
witne- ses TO prove that sickness in the
mill vas not unusual. Many workmen
testified that previous 10 the strike they
had suffered from illness. the symptoms
of which were similar to those which
killed some or the non-uniOn men. At
the afternoon session the defendant,
Hugh Dempsey, was called. He said: IL
am district master workman OF ID. A. No.
K. of l.. The X. OF l.. had nothing to do
with the Homestead strike; the Amalga-
mated association had charge of that. l
first saw Gallagher in my office; be was
brought there by Beatty; Mr.. Davidson
was there; they were introduced TO me
by Beatty; Beatty said they were men
who were 10 go to Homestead, get work
and report to me how things were running
IN the mill; nothing was said about
putting powder in food; dill not employ
them for that purpose; / tod them | had
four men In the mill st the time, but
that l wanted more reports so
that [ could bv statistics show
that the Carnegie company was not
succeeding with non-union men. Gal

times week. / promised them cOmpen-
sation but told them to get work in the

men anything 10 weaken them; did not

only once; know nothing about any plot

Much stir was created in the court room
during Mr.. Dempsey's crOss-examination
by his great agitation. He became much
exhausted and fears were entertained that
ne wou faint and this produced some
what unfavorable impression. When
asked why he had hired men to spy for
him in the Homestead mill lie replied:
Because got telegram from New York
asking me to learn the condition OF affairs
ia the mill as they were trying to arrange
a settlement with Andrew Carnegie"
The Jury found Dempsey guilty..
