A FIENDISH CRIME

--Eiis Son, Lee Holder, Under Arrest

One of the most fendish and
cold d-blooded murders ever recorded
in the annals of crime, if the affair
turns out to be as suspected, was
the killing of Rev. B. l.. Holder,
near Troy, about O'Clock n
Thursday evening, Dec. 27. Rev

derer the fact was recalled that the
family had been given poisoned milk
abou two months ago, and that Sc.
rious results followed the drinking
OF this milk. A committee OF citizens
began at once to investigate the
matter, whereupon it was found
that Lee Holder, the minister's son,
had bought arsenic of a druggist
in Troy Immediately before the
poisoning took place. 1t was also
stated that on the day OF the poi

6.l6 O'Clock. The train was about
on time when the crash came.
At first, owing to the impen-
etrable fog, it was impossible to
determine the extent of the dis
aster, and early rumors placed
the number of killed at less
figures than those which proved
later to be accurate.
A special train which had been
dispatched to Terra Gotta, brought

8 IN order to escape
\ the klEeg6r madman who was
trying to take his life. Across the
branches and over the fence into
the field he went running as fast as
he could, as the steps which are
about four feet apart seem to indi-
cate 1t is also supposed that
another shot was fred at Rev.
Holder as he ran. One shot
struck him in front about the line
of the waist band on the right side
and the other in the side under the
left arm. 1t is thought by some
that the shot in the side struck the
wounded man after he had fallen
Then it was that the 6cnd incar-
nate, the savage brute, that which
is baser than the lowest order of
animal instinct, asserted itself like
some great monster bent with fury
and kissing and gnarling with the
venom of spite and hatred, fell up
on the dying victim and beat out
his brains upon the ground with
the gun. So powerful and intense
was the fury of the assassin that
he broke the gun into pieces while
engaged in the horrible deed.
Somtime during this brocken
and ghoulish exhibition of saw
agery cry of "Murderw was
heard by Mr.. Lancaster, but the
gentleman thought it was nothing
more nor less than a crowd of men
on Christmas spree, and paid no
to it.
Reports have it that Mr.. LancasA
ter heard horse passing at
speed toward the place whaaA
crime was committed just before rHe
shooting and the passing OF horse
returning soon afterwards.
Some time after negro passing
heard a noise under the bridge and
found the horse and buggy. The |
horse was either partially or totally |
blind and lad run off the bridge, |
turning the buggy over and land
ing underneath. He saw that
was wrong and spread
the news. Rev. Holder was miss
ing and the citizens of town and
began immediate search.
In the party was Lee Holder, the
son, who, strange to say,
started IN the opposite direction
from the place where his father lay
a corpse. The body was not dis
covered, however, till morning and
then it was easy to trace the tracks
INTO the field. This was Friday
and a coroner's jury was sum-
the result of which was that
Rev. Holder came to his death by
unknown hands.
Sheriff Finch set out immedi-
ately to ferret out and arrest the

After the examination Saturday
morning Lee Holder was placed
under arrest and brought to Union
City where he now languishes in

Whoever committed the deed rode
horse and carried the gun, and
when his victim ran into the field
he left the horse and followed on
foot.
Mrs. Holder, wife of the murder
ed man, testified that she did not
miss her son, Lee, from home on the
night Of the killing and his young
er brother said that Lee went to

foulest and deepest haracter was

When Ministers Are Silent.

Inc Sacred HeartReview calls atten-
tlon TO an omission not peculiar TO the
Hub when it says: Our good friends.
The Protestant preachers of Boston, are
seldom silent on matters of worldwide
Importance. The oppression of the
Jews in Russia gave them a theme
which they took advantage of The
exclusion of the Japanese from public
schools in San Francisco served as a
text wherein to hang lectures on lib
erty. The Congo Free State and its
alleged cruelties to the blacks was a
subject of which they awaited them
selves. Yet last Sunday so far as we
could see from the daily press, not one
hberty-loving Protestant minister in
Boston had even one little word to saw
on the great crime against liberty
committed in France by the French
Government. The reason is shame
fully obvious. 1t is the Catholic
Church which is the victim of French
persecution. Therefore not word was
said If Protestant sect in any
country on earth-nay, if any religious
sect. Christian or pagan-were OBJ
pressed as Catholics of France are op-
pressed at present, we May be sure
that the Protestant pulpits of Boston
would ring with Indignation
