MURDER WILL OUT.

Another Atrocious Crime Fastened
on John Stevenson, the Muir
derer of Joe Gaines.

John Stevenson, the murderer of
Joe Gaines at Pauls Valley last sum-
mer, has had another AtrOciOus crime
fastened upon him with bis mother
and brother as CO defendants.
About three years since the accus-
ed employed young mau whose
well on their place, eight miles west
of Pauls Valley. lie disappeared
suddenly and close investigation.
prompted by strong suspicion of foul
play, failed to give any light one way
or the other. The search was aban-
doued and the story of Stevenson,
that the boy had left the country, ac-
ceptcd rs true.
Aftcrward the wife of Johu Steven
son died and only short time since
it was learned she confessed on her
death bed that her husband had MUIR
dered the boy and buried his body
in the well which was then ii led up.
Taking this clue the officers went
TO the Elace aud last Sunday exhumed
the bones of the murdered boy from
the well.
John Stevenson was already in the
Paris Jail awaiting trial for the Gaines
murder and his mother and brother
were promptly arrested as accompli-
ces i'm the boy murder. They have
been taken to Paris where the recent
developments will be given the clos
est investigation.
From par les living near the scene
o. the crime it is learned that ralou>y
was the prompting cause of the MUIR
der. There seems to be no doubt as
TO the guilt of the accused and the
old adage that murder will out" il

PICKED UP THE RIGHT MAN.

Policemen Wafford aud Boiling at
noon yesterday got their clutches on
an unusually slick horse thief and
landed him i'll Jail. The man gave
his name as Frank Burgett, and ad-
mitted that the officers had picked up
the right man. Burgett, it is learned,
traded a pair of mules in Bowie tor
a suit of clothes and gold watch, aud
from there went to the territory,
where he traded a stolen horse to Mr..
Gatlin. The owner of this horse
came along soon after, proved his
property and it was turned over to
him. Mr.. Gatlin then saddled horse
struck the thiefs trail aud traced him
to Gainesville where he found his
m an behind the bars. Deputy Nc
Murray took the offender to Dallas
this morning, where he will be bound
over to appear at the Paris court
