IOWA TRAGEDY.
Excitement Intense Over the Muir.
der of Detrick and Wife.

BELLEFONTAINE (O), Aug. 15.-
There were many detectives at work
here and in Union Township to-day on
rumors regarding the double murder
one week ago Of David Detrick and his
wife While Tony Ford and Lew Deer
wester are under arrest for the crime, it
is believed there are others who know
something about it.
In connection with the rumors impli-
eating different neighbors, one man at
tempted suicide on his wife's grave be-
cause he was suspected, and a woman,
after brooding over the horror, took
morphine with suicidal intent. Yester-
day Mrs. Charles Spellman, a relative
of the Detricks, charged her father-in-
law, Mack Spellman, with criminal as
sault, and there was talk of lynching
the father-in-law as well as Ford and
/ Deerwester, but no violence is anticipat-
ed. although the excitement here is in
tense The developments of the past
week have been such that many are ap-
prehensive of the result.
The sensation now is the alleged con-
fession of Ford TO Mrs. William Ellis
worth previous to his arrest, that he
committed the double murder. Ford
now denies the confession.
