rested charged with his murder. The
arrest was made by Sheriff Lewis of
Warren county just as the funeral

took the arrest calmly. but protested
her innocence. Hossack, who was a
well-to-do farmer, was killed with a
blow on the head from a sharp instru-
ment while sleeping beside his wife.

awakened by a noise and found her
husband dead. Testimony at the cor
oner's inquest tending to show Mr.. and
Mrs. Hossack had quarreled regarding
one of their children and absence of
other clues to the murder tended to
fix suspicion on the wife.
