ire, who worried fer the murdered man.
Just before 10 o'clock several perscns
heard cries and several pistol
shots. At q turn of the road
about 300 yards from bis home
they found Kane in pool of blood and
evidence that a terrible struggle had
been carried on till the final blow with
q 26.pound blacksmith hammer had
been dealt. 1t carried away the entire
left part of the head az far down as the
cheek bone, including the eye and part
of the nose. The bullet wounds were
enough to kill the man. Fhe guilty
pairs clothing was found hidden near
the house, while the woman and her
paramour were caught within short
tins.
Mrs. Kane and her paramour, George
Cantrs. made confession. The latter
was the first to break down. He stated
that man named George johnson had
met him and given him the pistol. with
which ne was compelled to shoot Kane.
Centre then detailed practically the
story of the murder rs already stated.
Johnson, as far as can be learned
from the evidence, was Mrs.. Kane, who
logged up in o pair of her husbands
trousers, lie said to have welded the
hammer which Smashed in the head of
the murdered man. The step-sen OF
the murdered man, who 10 not more
than II or IA years old. says that when
the old man went away from the heuse
to 60 to Bungtown his mother and
George went out together and that his
mother had the ham mer and . bundle.
The woman at first tried TO tell the john
son story, but when she heard OF Centres
confession, she abandoned that entirely
and said it had all been done by Centre
and that no such person ca johnson had
been mixed up with the affair In any
way whatever. She stoutly denied all
charges OF criminal intimacy between
herself and Centre until she learned that
Centre had owned up to it.
Kane was well.to-do farmer. Lynch
ing was freely talked of by the excited
nsighbors, but the prisoners were safely
locked up in jail.
