Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COXS STATION. Charles county, Nd,
August 5.-The horrible murder of James
Irwin Sunday night has thoroughly aroused
the whole county, and about the vicinity
Of Aliens Fresh the scare Is almost equal
to that which so excited the people Of
Washington during the operations Of Jack
the Slasher' not very long ago. Even the
strong men are badly frightened. and the
place is completely demoralIzed. Although
the weather has been warm since the mur-
der was committed. at almost every house

promise that he would return to church
and renew his religious vows. And he kept
his promise. 1t Is now believed that the
wife knew Of what was to come. and that
was why she insisted on his returning to
church and making preparations for the
hereafter although she was not so consid-
crate of her own spiritual welfare.
The Premiscs Inspected.
Yesterday the premises were fully in
spected by States Attorney Posey and some
of the members of the coroners jury. On
the head of the bed they found the stains
Of blood and several additional pieces Of
the skull were found. The blood-saturated
pillow. which had been put out in the yard
with the bedding, had been removed across
the road and deposited near the water 8
edge. Dick" Swann's home, where Mrs.
Irwin was confined, was also visited, and
1t took but glance at her to see that she
had not sufficiently improved to be removed
to Undertaken Robey's. near Cox's station,
where the inquest was tO=be resumed.
A New Phase of the Case.
In addition to the terrible gunshot wound
there was apparently a cut in the skull,
which the doctors thought might possibly
have been inflicted with a hatchet. This
rev phase of the case caused the belief
that two persons, instead of one, might
have taken part in the actual killing, and
search is to be instituted for a blood
stained hatchet, as well as gun. Mrs
Irwin's night gown. which is playing an
important part in the investigation, is still
in the hands Of the authorities, and an ef-
fort is being made now to account for the
presence Of SO little blood on the garment.
when she claims she was in bed with the
murdered man at the time the crime was
committed and knew nothing of what had
taken place until she heard rapping or
knocking sound. If she actually took part
in the killing. as some people here believe
she did, then the two blood stains on the
garment might be easily accounted for. but
1t is not generally believed that she was
even in the room when the fatal shot was
fired, and the blow probably inflicted.

Fully 200 men had congregated in the yard
and beneath the shade trees on the road,
all anxious to get a look at George Mat

Matthews the Suspected Murderer.
When the prisoner. Matthews. arrived
from the La Plata Jail in charge Of Sheriff
Wade and his deputies he was securely
handcuned, and the sight of the crowd
gave him a thorough scare. So badly was
he frightened that he reeled as he was en-
He is by no means a bad looking man and
there is an indescribable attractiveness
about him which accounts for his having

Of Jim Irwin. Matthews Is not a large man

complexion Is rather dark, but he has rosy
cheeks. Although the excitement had kept
him up he was probably weak. because he

but the sheriff's deputies cleared the yard
and drove the people to the opposite side

Denied Any Improper Relations.
He denied in most positive terms that
any improper relations had ever existed
between Mrs. Irwin and himself When
he met her Friday he paid her for two
shirts she had made for boy who lives
with him.
The prisoner then told the Jury that
Mns. Irwin had told him that the trouble

The statement made to the jury by the
