Have the inhuman mnrderers Of Mag

Ihe officers yesterday arrested four
men, whom they accuse of that horrible

when Maggie Tewmey was murdered.
Miller is Unmarried, 20 years Of age
and processes 10 be horse trudcr

Witcher is not married. He has no
employment
The arrests We're made on the state
ments of woman, who asserts she was
un eye witness, There are other zorro
boradye circumstances, though, Of them
selves, scarcely sufficient for conviction.
Ever since January "a, the day Mag
Gie Tewmey was atrociously murdered,
the officers have been unceasing in their
efforts 10 fasten the crime. Within n
week after the crime was committed
there We're circumstances which pointed
ominously TO the men TO WHOM now the
terrible deed Is charged But these cir
cumstances of themselves, were not com.
pletc. II was whispered that certain
woman, u woman without chastity, could
unfold tale which would fastcn the
horrible deed where It belonged. The
woman seemingly ererted every effort
possible to keep concealed shat she
knew Of the crime. But the proyerbial
weakness OF her sex cropped out and
she dropped unconnectcd parts Of Il
within hearing of woman companion.
Still what the woman told was known
only to a few 1t was repeated though,
but just how It came to the ears of the
officers is not known, for they are red
cent 1t is reported that a prisoner in
jail knew something Of It though woman
and that he traded his knowledge, to
mitigate punishment inevitably his.
Who the woman Is, the officers re
fuse to tell, but it is learned on authority
almost uuauestionable that the woman is
one of two who lived in the rear of
Happy's saloon when the crime was com
mitted. This woman has told the Ollie
ers, rs she told n few others before,
that she WINS present whom Maggie Tew.
