Wife, BABY and
CASH GONE.

Bridgeton, N. j., August 4.--John
Wench, green glass bottle blower,
is searching in vain 70 L his wife and
l4-months.old baby. The search has
been maintained since last Thurs
day, and thus far not a trace OF the
mis- sing ones has been discovered.
During the last blast Wench worked
at Cicero, Ind, where his wife joined
him. Wench became acquainted
with John Roddenbaugh, a young
man whom he took into his home.
Roddenbaugh became great friend
OF Mrs. Wench and was with her on
many occasions, but Wensh trusted
his wife implicitly and their domestic
relations were apparently most happy.
Wcnch made large wages, and each
month when he received his balances
from the firm, gave the money to the
care of his wife, who deposited 1T III
bank in her own name. When Wench
and his family returned here, the lat
ter part of June. the bank account
was transferred to one OF the insti-
tutions here. How much there was
to his wife's credit Wench has not
the slightest idea, but it must have
been considerable.
When the family returned to
Bridgeton Roddenbaugh came with
them, and for a few weeks had been
a guest at the Wench home. Last
Thursday Wench went down to At.
lantic City on an excursion and did
not return until near midnight. He
wanted Roddenbaugh to go along
with him but the invitation was de.
ciincd. When Wench reached his
home he was surprised to find it
deserted. Nowhere could he CLEAN

Pratt, who is accused of numbering
his wife, and found a suit of old
clothes, buried in peach orchard.

T. w. Pierce. counsel for Pratt,
said to-day that the proceedings IN

pressed tomorrow morning and he
says that the result cannot be else
than a liberation of the prisoner.
1t is believed that recital OF the
events connected with the tragedy as

ing and following the Wlfe's death,
and which resulted in the iury recon-.
mending that the husband t1r rcqulr-
cd to explain matters, viii enter
largely into to morrow proceedings.
At the Coroner S investigation it was
stated that the tragedy occurred on
Wednesday, between noon and )
O'Clock p. NJ. Pratt was tie person
who found the body and vino gave
the alarm. lie testified to having
been at work near the h1use, where
he was attracted by screams from his
little son, Wilbur, and by cries that
seemed to come from his wife, who
was inside the house. Later the llt-
tie boy was twice called to the stand
aud each time testified that lie had
not seen his father in the field, had
not seen him leave the house after
dinner and that when he heard his
mother S voice eXclaming 'Oh papa.

his mother lay dying in the house,
Fletcher Paterson, a notorious
bad man" walked outside and
shot John Thompson dead.
The murder took place at Sulli-
van. Only the fact that the old

perate afirays than any criminal in
Eastern Illinois. His sister is one
OF the prettiest girls i'll Moultre

most favor Thompson, who. be-
sides being much older than she,
had divorced his wife and had
children. who are living in King
county.
Fetch Paterson frequently
warned him to keep away from his
house. and Thompson's friends
tried to influence him also, but to
no avail. Last night when he call
ed Paterson faced him and said.'
"If you don't keep away from
here you'll be killed. I've warned
you before. Now this is the last
word.
Thompson went away but later
returned. He was met at the gate
by Paterson. who had a shotgun.

did not finch. Paterson slowly
raised the gun to his shoulder but
the man before him never moved.

stantly killed. The murderer calm
ly entered the house and went TO
