Marion Aoxlsy, OF near Pee D.,

for wife murder. |
Ths crime of which Moxlsy We
convicted Was committed in Novem-
Der, 1885, but there we're no eye
witnesses to the tragedy, az Aoxlsy
and his wife were alons at home, and
the evidence upon which he was CON
victed OF wife murder was purely cir
cumstantial. True. his and his wife's
domestic relations had not been very
pleasant, but foul play was not
talked of until after Ars. Moxley
had been buried, when neigtborhood
gossip about the woman's "neck be-
ing timber" at the time che was laid
OUT a corpse. led to the exhunation
OF her remains and the holding Of q
post-mortem examination by DR.. b.
b. Philpott, OF Salisbury, who was
then coroner OF this county.
The post-mortem examination re-
vealsd the fact that Mrs. Moxley'a
nsck had been broken, but whethql
before her death or by a fall the heae
end of the coffin while being taksp
from the grave will, perhaps, nsver be
't.osn 10 the world.

Pending his last appeal to the su-

on bond, was marrisd to Mrs. l..
Cook, Of near Pee Dee, on Oct, 18th,
1891.
his fret wife was Miss Mary b.
Richardson, a daughter Of Mr.. j. w.
Richardson, who Is q resident oi
Alton, Indian Territory, and al
whose house Moxley was arrested by
Sheriff j. J. Moore.
Since 1885 Aoxley has spent six
years Of bis life in the county jail
and psnitsntisry. and as he was con-
victed on eircumstantial evioencs,
many Charlton county citizens
think his punishment has bssn sui

Gov. Stone is looking up the rec

pass upon the question OF pardon
IN a few days.
