were found solitaire diamond ring,
three razors, two pairs of spectacles and
a gold watch and two chains stolen
from Mr.. Swope. The ring was taken
from Mrs. Swope's finger while she lay
in bed. It is worth about $500. Mr..
Evans identified Flowers and Duchess
as the men who robbed his house while
holding him and his wife prisoners In

WILLIAM FOLEY's TRIAL.

The Young Man Accused OF Numbering His
Justice.
LIBERTY, Mo-, June 9.-The trial OF
William S. Foley, charged with the
murder of his mother and sister, was
begun yesterday. The criminal court
room was packed with men, women
and children, white and black, who
crowded the aisles and stood on
benches to get a glimpse of the prisoner
and hear the testimony of the witnesses.
Witnesses were on the stand from
one o'clock until ten o'clock at night.
Foley, pale, we'll dressed and very at
tentive, sat behind his lawyer, Senator
il. +. Simrall His sisters, Miss Amelia
Foley and J. J. Morrow, and his cousin,
Miss Mary Ricketts,, sat with him dur
ing the trial. Several of the witnesses
testified to hearing the shots between
nine and 9:lO o'clock the night Of the
murder. Others told of Foley having
rows with his mother and sister, and
it was established that he must have
been at home or near there when the
shots were fred, although he
claimed not to hear them. Brack
Land and George Talbot told OF
calling on Foley in Jail and said he
told them he knew who committed the
murders and would tell when the prop
er time came. The general feeling is
that a strong case has been made out
against Foley, although there is no
evidence to directly connect him with
the crime.
