rIusgrave rIurder Case.

Morgantown, W. Va, June 49,
When the case of the State against
David Musgrave, charged with MUIR
dering his wife On the night of De-
cember IA, 1894, was called for its
second trial this morning in the
Monongahela Circuit Court, the big
crowd present was treated to gen.
uine surprise.
After consultation with Messrs.
Lazzelle and Stewart, the attorneys
for the commonwealth, Mr.. Sturgess,
counsel for the prisoner, arose and
entered confession TO involuntary
manslaughter, which was accepted
by the court, thus concluding one of
the most noted criminal cases in the
history of the State judiciary.
Musgrave was convicted in June,
1895, of the offense charged and the
case was taken to the Supreme Court
of Appeals. This court affirmed the
lower court, but at its next session
reopened the case at the request OF
the defendants attorney and after
hearing it, again affirmed the lower
court. Again the case was reopened
and at the January term of this year
a new trial was granted.
The opinion of the court virtually
destroyed the case for the prosecu-
ton, which, together with the death
of important witnesses, and absence
of others, caused the State to accept
the confession of involuntary man
slaughter. In consideration that
Musgrave had spent nearly four
years in Jail, the court imposed 6
sentence of six months with $50 fine

CAN IT BE rlURDERa
DR.. Taylor TlysteriousIy Disappears.


DIR. G. P. Taylor, OF this city, left
his home on last Tuesday afternoon
ostensibly to visit patients. Thus
far he has not returned. On We'd
nesday afternoon his horse and buggy
was found tied to tree on the road
side, near Riley's ford, Opeqnon
Greek. about two and half miles
from town. Mr.. J. Walper Snyder,
the miller, living a few hundred
yards southwest of the ford, reported
the fact to Sheriff Smith, when he
and his deputies and States Attorney
Pitzer with others visited the place,
and worked and investigated but
could not find any clue as to the
Doctor or his body. There was no
evidence of a struggle, nor of i'm
prints of boots or shoes. or sign of
anything being dragged from the
buggy to the creek, that would point
to the commission of crime there.
The only theory that can be adj
vanced is that foul play may have
occurred further away and the horse
and buggy placed where it was found,
to avert investigation. He drew $40
from bank before going away but
that gives no clue, nor would it be
needed in visiting patients. The
affair is wrapped in mystery and we
presume the officials will obtain
some information from those he Wis.
tied on the afternoon and evening.
DR.. Taylor came here. about eight
months ago from Mineral county
bringing his bride with him and was
obtaining some business in his pro-
fession. A reporter of the Indepen-
dent called at his residence Thurs
day afternoon and while his wife
was in sore distress through the I'M.
solved mystery, she was hopeful that
he would yet be found safe and re-
cover from an attack of temporary
mental alteration, from which it
seems he has heretofore suffered.
Her father and brother, Mr.. G.. A.
Dye and son, of Mineral county;
Mrs. Havermale, the Doctors niece,
widow of the late Clarence Haver-
male, of Berkeley Springs, are with
her. As q matter of investigation
Opequon Greek is being dragged,
thus far without any practical re-
suit.
