HUSBAND HELD FOR THE CRIME.
Disappearance Reported Two Weeks
Before She Was Found With
Her Skull Crushed In.

Moscow, Texas, March 9.-On Thurs
day Of the past week Jack Shannon,
an Irish laborer, who resides in the
country two miles from Moscow, re-
ported to his neighbors that his wife
had disappeared from his home and
no trace Of her could be found. A
search was begun at once and contin-
ued until Saturday afternoon, when the
searchers were rewarded by finding
her lifeless body in a pond of water
near the residence Of the Shannon fam
lily. When discovered she was lying
at the bottom of the pond and in two
feet of water Her hands were bound
together with ordinary bale wire and
rock of sufficient weight to carry
the body to the bottom was attached
thereto. There were evidences of a
terrible struggle. Her clothes were
torn into shreds and her throat bore
the impress of giant grip. Just above
the left temple the skull was crushed
with some sharp pointed instrument
Her almost nude body presented a
most horrible sight
Justice Kennedy viewed the remains,
but up to this time he has not rem
dered verdict.
Jack Shannon, the husband of the
deceased, is being held by the officers.
He was known to have gone home
Wednesday night in a state of intoxi-
cation. Mrs. Shannon was regarded
as an Industrious, inoffensive woman.
Four small children survive her, the
eldest girl Of 10 years of age. Great
excitement prevails here. The neigh
borhood is greatly worked UP and will
leave no stone unturned to bring the
guilty party to justice.

dral is SO carefully preserved that 1t
gives one the impression of extreme
newness. Yet the whole choir and
east end of the cathedral. as 1t now
stands, is mainly the work of William
of Sens and william the Englishman,
who iiourished toward the end Of the
twelfth century. But the cathedral
and the many buildings In its pre-
cincts are a perfect museum of me-
dieval architecture Next to the
transitional style, which is represent
ed IN the choir, comes the first point
ed or early English style, which came
about half a century later. To this
period belongs the far famed Arch
bishops chair" usually called the
chair OF st. Augustine on which
the archbishops are enthroned, and
which was naturally the object of
much interest at the funeral of recent
