A MURDER MYSTERY.
Two Norwich Men Suspected of Kill.
ing a Preacher Five Years Ago.


NORWICH, VT, Jan. 81 - Hanover and
Norwich are excited over recent develop
ments to solve what has for five years been q
deep mystery, and which may implicate two
Norwich ctizens In a case Of murder. Five
years ago thHre resided in Norwich preach
er, John Harrison, who held services in
schoolhouses wherever he could gain an
audience. His peculiarities engendered the
hatred OF ono VIII Eastman and his cOmpan-
ions, and frequent rows resulted between
Harrison and these enemies. The summer OF
1880. 1t Is said that Eastman and chum went
to Harrison's home and proceeded to ''do
up the old man. who defended himself with
u dirk knife, and as result of the struggle
Eastman now carrie' an eight inch scar and
numerous other marks. They overpowered
Harrison aud having beaten out his brains
with I'M iron kettle, as they supposed, left
him for dead, while they boasted to neighbors
of their deed. Harrison. however, rallied.
and It Is stated that Eastman vowed he
would finish him. A few weeks later the
preacher disappeared, and knowledge of his
whereabouts was never Cleaned.
1t was given out by former intimate
friend uf f. sttnan that lie has confessed to
the KILN OF Harrison. that the body was
buried IN the cellar OF the hut, and that all
traces were obliterated by fire. Eastman i'm
plicated in the deed Chauncy Smith. post
master Of West Norwich. The latter dis
owns all knowledge Of the crime, but as
serts that he has no doubt that Eastman
knows much about the disappearance Of
Harrison. Eastman has very un.
savory reputation, and is now awaiting
trial by the supreme court on a
charge Of burglary, and is under suspicion
for similar other cases. He is now suffering
from wound received at the hands Of post
master Smith, who shot him Il few weeks ago
in self-deiense. Anticipated death is sup
posed to be the cause OF the confession and II
desire to even matters with his enemy Smith.
