Set Up a Plea of Insanity.
Had an Accomplice.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 2l.-A SEN
sation has been created in Monroe coun-
tv by the fact that David Burton, who
died a few days ago, was poisoned BY
his wife. with Noah Trout as an accom-
plice. The guilty pair are now IN jan
at Madisonyille, awaiting term OF
court. and there is said to be some ex-
citement over the horrible affair.
One morning a fewsdays since Burton
was taken sick after eating his break
fast, but soon got better, and by dinner
time appeared to be well. At noon he
ate heartily of turnip greens, and I'M
mediately went to the water bucket and
drank two cups of water. He then be
gan vomiting, and complained of eXcru-
ciating pain about his stomach.
Physicians were called in, but We're
unable to relieve him, and he died the
next night It was believed at the time
that his wife had poisoned him. she
had been trying to get poison from the
neighbors, and it was suspected that
she had tried to poison him before
After a few days the woman broke
down and confessed that she had poi
soned her husband with "Rough on
Rats" and duplicating Trout as an ac-
cessory.
1t further developed that the woman
and Trout have been criminally inti-
mate for some time, and that he bought
a bought a box Of Rough on Rats" and
gave it to her near her home, telling
her to use it on all the family, which he
saw she did by giving them corn bread
with the poison in it, but none Ell
enough to kill except her husband.

ST. PAUL. MINI, April 21.-The big
April snow storm seems 10 have passed
off after an addition Of three or four
inches during the night making the total
fall in this neighborhood ebout sixteen
inches, while other parts of the state re-
port twice that depth. Business was
suspended all over the Northwest yester-
day but is being resumed in the cities to-
day, men having worked all night to
clear the street railway tracks From
the country districts but incomplete re-
ports have cen received, the deep snow
having cut off nearly all means Of com
munication. Farmers were busy seeding
all over the Northwest, and the indlca-
tions are they will be delay ed until after
the 1st of May putting in their crop. The
heavy snow may melt rapidly, but even
if it does, the ground would be too wet
for immediate use. In the southern part
of the state much wheat had been sown,
and the more hopeful farmers express a
belief that the snow will not injure it if
no severe cold snap follows.
