The latest in this affair is from Ian
caster, dated Monday, dispatch which
names William Lester and John Layne
as the accomplices, and reports tho ar
rest of Lester, who protests his inno-
cence. 1t further says that active efforts
have been made by officers TO find the
body of the peddler whom Noggles
alleged was killed, but no evidence of
such murder has been found. Nog-
gles' sudden acquisition of religion APP
pears to have unsettled his mind, and it
is probable that an inquiry will be made
as to his sanity. If so, he may find his
way into an insane asylum instead of a
penltentlary.

HE CONFESSED TO A MURDER
In Church. Near Soldiers Grove, Pierce
Noggles Made a Full Confession TO the
Murder of peddler Five Years Ago
His Conscience Troubled Him.

On the night of Friday, February
18th, at a revival meeting, conducted
near Soldiers Grove by colored wo-
man, young man Of that section,
named Pierce Noggles, made a full and
free confession of guilt The next day
officers Gook him TO Grant county, where
he says the crime was committed. Ell S
story is that with two companions, on
a lonely road near Plattville, he shot an
unknown peddler through the heart,
robbed him of SIS, found on his person,
and seerated the body under vet at
the Plattville brewery The confession
was the effect of Noggles' conversion
He got religion, and at once relieN ed
his mind of the heavy burden it had
carried for more than five years. He
was taken to Plattville, where he will be
examined before a Justice of the peace
Investigation has bsen made at Platt-
Vile to substantiate the facts alleged in
Noggles' confession. There is no recol-
lection Of the finding of such body,
cor do the records of the Plattville JUS
tlces show that any inquest was ever
held on such body. The sheriff of
Grant county expresses confidence in
Noggles' sincerity. The names of his
two accomplices are being kept secret,
in order that active efforts may be made
to capture them, and, if possible, to
secure evidence against them in add
ton to that given by Noggles.

people first brings balm to my heart
In Affecting unison with the resound OF

deeply borrowing heart 1 thank all for
