HeARNes INDICTED FOR MURDER.

Man and Wife to stand Trial for killing
the woman's Former Husband.
HANNIBAL No.. Aug. l9.-Few specta-
tors were present when the court of COM
mon pleas convened to receive report Of
the grand jury which has been in contin.
uous session for nearly three months in
vestigating the celebrated Stillwell MUIR
der case. The report was an indictment
for murder, and Sheriff Pratt repaired to
the residence of William Perkins, at
whose home the Hearnss were staying,
and placed DR.. Aearne and wife under
arrest, charged with the murder of A. j.
Stillwell on the night OF Dec. 49, 1888.
The Indictment was for murder in the
first degree, and the case Is not therefore
bailable. The sheriff took the prisoners
to Palmyra by private conveyance. They
were lodged in separate cells on different
floors, and will not be permitted to see or
talk to each other.
Amos j. Stillwell was murdered in his
bed on tho night Of Dec. 20, 1888. The
assassin used an ak to destroy his life.
The position of things in the room showed
that the victim had not awakened when
assaulted, although the body had been
afterward placed in n posture to indicate
q struggle. A few false traces had been
arranged to lead to the belief that bur-
glary was the object, but the theory was
soon advanced, and has still been MAIN
tanned, that there was deeper motive.
Mrs. Stillwell, who had slept in another
bed In the same room, could not give a
satisfactory account of the tragedy.
Richard Stillwell, a stepson of Mrs.
Stillwell, testified recently that his step
mother had been criminally intimate
with DR.. Hearne. Hhowever may this be,
Hannibal people. still talk of hermarriage
with DR.. Hearne in less than year after
her husbands murder. The couple vent
to st. Joseph, Mo-, to live, thence to San
Diego, Cal. Here Mrs. Stillwell sued DR..
Hearne for divorce July 20, 1894, and
threatened him If he opposed her. He made
no opposition. The decree was granted
Aug. 10. For some reason the couple re-
married Sept 22, 1894
