MURDERED AND ROBBED.
Body of a Miner Found Buried In
Mexico

Denver, May "a special to the News
from FL Paso, Tex, says:
J. G. d. Boyd, a wealthy ranchman of
Casas Grandes, Mexico. fifteen miles
southwest of this city, has just reported
here the finding of the body of an Amer
lean miner five miles from his ranch. The
body was in a shallow grave. a pick had
been driven entirely through the mans
skull, presumably while he slept.
Miners and prospectors in the vicinity
identified the remains as those of John
Quigley, formerly of Deming, n. NJ. who
had been in the Sierra Madre mountains
several months. and when last seen had
considerable money on his person. The
money was missing when the body was
found, and it is presumed that robbery
was the incentive to the murder.

There were four others whose names
with one exception, are unknown. One
is said to have been a Nebraska man.
The exception was named Stevens, and
in connection with him an interesting
story is told. He was a prisoner in the
state penitentiary at Walla Walla,
where Addleman and Butterfield were
turkeys. He claimed to know a spot
in Alaska where gold could be found.
On this representation he succeeded in
getting friends to secure his pardon and
organizing the expedition. 1t developed
from letters received after the expedi-
tion left here that Stevens had misrep-
resented things. Owing to the trouble
he caused he was put ashore on an
island this side of Kotzebue Sound,
with a supply of provisions and his per-
sonal effects.

Clement, I'VE shall determine on the

On the night before the shooting she
laid out her clothing, intending to Kill
herself She tossed about all night,
and walked the floor.
Il had bought the laudanum with

She Consulted spiritualists.

While in Chicago last year she Wis
tied two mediums.
The first. a Mrs. Cowan. told me
that my father was lonely. and would
not be happy until my mother and L
were with him. Nothing entered my
mind then about taking my mother 5
life"
The witness next said she visited
male medium. He told her a similar
story about her father being lonely. 1t
then became fixed in her mind that he
was lonely. Miss BeitStein said she re
manned in Chicago about a week after
that. She was in very bad condition
physically. She thought about what
the mediums told her. Her mind SEEM
ed unbalanced on that one subject.
Still. she did not think of DESTROYING
her own or her mothers life. She cut
her visit short and returned home, eX-
pecting to get better. She could not
sleep. She said:
Il did not sleep at all until the night
of the killing" and told Attorney Bur-
leigh she wanted the jury to under
stand it literally.
On Saturday afternoon, the day be-
fore the shooting, she Went to Pitts
burg and bought an ounce of laudanum.
She went home Immediately, getting
there about p. m. She ate light sup
per with her mother. They spent the
evening at home. The witness went TO
her room about $50 o'clock, her mother
retiring a few minutes later. The re-
latiOnS between the witness and her
mother had always been very affection
ate. and there had been no misunder-
standing whatever

Notwithstanding the exceptional ac-

difficulty is experienced in employing
