to make a dicker with anyone, black
or white, sober or drunk, provided he
could get the best of the deal.
Owing to the frequency with which
people called at the Reed place at un-
seemly hours. the %neighbors paid but
little attention to such visitors. And
thus when shortly after midnight on
August Q, 1897, Mrs. David Fairfield, a
neighbor, saw n Ia seated In a bug
gy driving up the lane from the Reed
place she paid but little attention to
1t at the time. The buggy was follow
ed at a short distance by a man on
foot. Soon afterward other people saw
a buggy, in which were seated two
men driving off In the direction OF
Clarksburg.
This incident has a greater signii-
canoe on the forenoon OF August 7,
when 1t was discovered that Reed and
his sister had been murdered. At II
O'Clock on that day Hiram Tenney,
who had some business to transact
with Reed, called at the house, but
could get no response to his repeated
knocking. He notified David Fair
field, who lived nearby, and together
they entered the Reed house. Lying
on a bed in a room downstairs they
found the body of Reed. The head had
been pounded almost to a jelly and In
the mouth was a gag OF coarse cloth.
Nearby was a wooden mallet with
which the murder had been accom-
pllshed.
After the police had been notified a
further search was made of the house
and on the landing upstairs was the
body of Miss Reed. She had been shot
-FOUR times. Three of the bullets hav-
Eng taken effect in her head, and the
fourth In her shoulder. She had evil
Eently been aroused by the noise made
in killing her brother and was about
making her way down stairs when the
murderer was upon her. The bullets
were fred at such close range that her
face was burned with the powder. I'm
'mediately after the commission OF the
crime the state police were called in
to help unravel the case, Every man
who had the slightest dealings with
the murdered man was examined but
practically no light was thrown upon
the mysterious murder. An aggre-
gate reward OF 1900 was offered for
information in the matter, but 1t bore
no fruit.

has been done by Detective
Durham of the state police.
who came there at the instiga-

Mark T.. Couch has also given the
case much attention ever since the
commission Of the crime, and some
time ago enlisted the support of At

long time past the prisoners, Grant
and King, have been closely watched,
and their arrest vas not much of a

became a telegraph operator at Lopez,
on the Lehigh Valley road, and soon
afterward a strike was called all down
the line. Nearly all the operators ex-
cept myself went out. There are sew
eral big saw mills at Lopez. Pa, and
the company did a lot OF hauling for
them. There were very few engineers,
and the company was in a hole. / had
had some experience with a locomotive
and took charge of one. The strikers
made all sorts Of threats. but they did
MT do much except to blow us up ev-
cry now and then. One night some
body put soap in the boiler. An old
engineer got hold Of the engine, and
was starting out to switch cars. l was
in the cab with him. All at once the
boiler let go. 1t blew into a thousand
pieces and pitched m and the en-

Lattimer and we were ordered there.
We had a pretty easy time. Strikers
got us interested by bombarding us
now and then. but they never really
did much damage.
you have heard about the battle
between the strikers and the deputies
there, l suppose. You remember. a
crowd came in to help the strikers.
The sheriff with deputies went to order
them back. Our regiment was in camp
when the colonel heard Of the pros
pective meeting between the strikers
and the deputies. He ordered us out In
a hurry. and we went on the double
quick. Just as we got within sight OF
the two forces the firing began. We
hurried up, but 1t was all over by the
time we got there.
II did some detective work for
awhile. and then, last August. | went
to Cleveland, when the strike there
was at It's height. l first did detective
work and then took a place as motor
man. Part OF my run was on the
Broadway division. 1t took us through
a thickly settled part Of town where
before the strike nine children had
been killed by cars in eight days. The
people were much angered at the com.
pany, and when 1t vas given out that
the non-union men were inexperienced
and that more deaths were certain to
occur, the populace turned or us. 1t
