Bell. Who We're charged with breaking
and entering the Charles river railroa /
station at Needham. 1t was expected
that the men would have been acquit-
ted, but such was not the case. Mr..

WINGED that Stain had betrayed them
To a detective named Eean, a relative
Of Stain.
In Mr.. BJrker's opinion. the oppor-
tunity for revenge came with the Bar

" this case developed the motive which
induced Harvey TO testify against his
relative. The detective. Josiah Bean.
afterwards tom Mr. Barker of mo-
tive which induced Charles stain 20

eloped with a young woman and that
he went through a NOOK marriage With
her which was performed by David l..
Stain, whom the girl believed to Ne &,
regularly ordained clergyman. After
wards the elder Stain is alleged to have
assaulted the young woman ana that

In his statement, Mr.. Barker con-
tinues: IF Charles Stain was devot-
ed to this young woman what strong
Or motive could he have had for his
part in the trial Of the Stain Crom-
Wen case? These are facts that have
never before impaired to a living soul
but that they are absolutely true, SO

MANGUM ARRESTED
Again Accused of Murder of
Peter Griffin.
The Corone,'s Jury Only Heard One Side Of
the Caso," Said Attorney Ryan
Yesterday.

Samuel Mangum, of Newlight township,
disturbance, as she was badly brighten
of Peter Griffin. Oscar O'Neill is also
in Jail here, charged with aiding and
abetting Mangum in the killing. They
will receive hearing before Squire Bar
bee on next Wednesday,
The killing which led to their arrest
took place near Mangum's residence,
which is in Newlight township, about
fifteen miles from here, on the night of
Sunday the 18th day of October. Man
gum Immediately give himself up to the
authorities and a coroners investigation
followed upon the evidence brought before
them. The jury found that the killing
was justifable homicide, and give a ver
dict to this effect, acquitting the pris-
oner.
The evidence brought before the jury
made out a clear case of defense.
1t showed that Griffin and a number of
others came to Mangum's house, seem
ingly bent upon carousal, and began
creating a disturbance. One of them
cursed Mrs. Mangum and told him to
follow them down the road, which he
did, supposedly to rid his wife of the
ed. After going some distance with
them Mangum started back to his home,
whereupon they threatend him. He told
them that he would prosecute them to
the full extent of the law if they raised
another disturbance at his house.
At this point, the evidence shows that
Griffin threatened Mangum's life, and
placed his hands upon his pocket as if
reaching for a pistol and at the same
time advancing toward Mangum, who fired
and Griffin was killed.
The re-arrest was made by Constable
p. E. Fowler on a warrant sworn out
before Squire Barbee, on the ground of
newly discovered evidence by NJ A. Grit
fin, a brother to the man killed. The
prisoners were at first determined to in
stitute habeas corpus proceedings, but
later decided not to do so.
Mr.. Ryan, the attorney for the prose-
cution, was yesterday seen by reporter,
and asked as to the nature of the evil
dence upon which the arrest was made.
"Why, / can't publish it," said he. "Of
course it's plain why But it will all
come out Wednesday at the trial. We
hope to present much additional testi-
! mony, which will be of a character to
materially affect the complexion of the
case. Only one side of the case was
| heard at the inquest. But you may say
| that we expect to prove that the ball
| entered the back, about two inches from
| the backbone and passed through the
heart, showing that he could not have
| been advancing on Manguma when the
| fatal shot was fired. e
