of a FiendiSh Murderer
Her Body Found in a Pool Of

Vest Chester
Special to The Evening Journal.

West Chester, May 24.-Murder in
most atrocious form was committed on
the Minshall Sharpless farm, in Bir-
mingham township, yesterday. and the
whole country side is worked up TO a
high pitch Of excitement. The victim
was Stella Morrison, the comely wife
Of William w. Morrison, and the scene

is the tenant house on the Sharpless
farm, ON the Wilmington pike, four
miles from West Chester.
It was about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon when the husband, who was
working in the field a quarter Of a
mile distant, was summoned to the
house by his aged father with the in
formation that his wife was dead, the
victim Of a horrible butchery.
AWFUL SIGHT CONFRONTED HIM.
The elder Morrison is a man of up-
wards of so years, and it fell TO his lot
to discover the deed. He lived with his
son, and upon his return to the house
after a stroll, not seeing his daughter
in-law about he entered the sitting
room in search OF her, when a terrible
sight met his gaze. Mrs. Morrison lay
on the floor her head crushed in and
everything despatched with blood.
The surroundings bore evidence Of a
terrible struggle. Alongside the body
lay a heavy hickory club, with sharp
edges ana an iron handle in one end.

effect. II was covered with blood and
hair. and one heavy blow from 1t

person. The woman's face was com
pletely mashed in, the blood saturating
the floor.
TRAMPS SUSPECTED OF CRIME.
The husband, who worked for Min
shall Sharpless, was accustomed to
take his meals with the latter, and the
last time he saw his wife alive was at
4 O'Clock yesterday morning, when he
left her to begin his daily toll as a
farm hand. Whom he was summoned

Havana. May 24.-Except among
Cuban politicians there is compare
lively little interest in the approach
ing elections. This is shown by the
very light registration. One OF the
worst features OF the situation Is the
fact that. as soon as a party sees II
Is not likely to win in a particular
quarter. it withdraws its candidate
and declares that everything has been
arranged unfairly with q view Of de-
feating him. The Democratic Union
and the Republican parties have both
withdrawn their candidates in Havana.
leaving the election a practical walk
over for the National party. On the
other hand. at MatanzGs and Santa
Clara the Republicans are likely to
have easy victories, the Nationalists
there obiecting to the election laws.
Santiago will be controlled by the Con-
servative party. and Pinar del Rio has
