GIRL Child ACCUSES MAN
Fourteen. Year.0ld Caroline Watts
Accuses Percy hOwertOn.

Percy Howerton, young railroad
man, is now in the Henderson coun-
ty jail awaiting the arrival of an
officer to take him back to Marion,
KY, to answer a charge of one of
the most revolving offences ever men.
toned in the annals of crime The
Kentucky Childrens Home Society,
guardian of fourteen-year-old Caro-
line Watts, pretty child whose
misfortune in losing her parents
threw her on the mercies of the
world and the good agencies that
look after such homeless children, is
urging the prosecution of this young
man because the child told the
authorities that he committed an
awful crime against her person.
According to the story of the
child Percy Howerton compelled her
by means Of threats to take her life
to withhold the secret from her as
sociates. The little girl was placed
III the home of p. A. Howerton,
father of the accused, near Marion,
some time ago, and Percy Howerton
returned home about seven months
ago, having been employed on a rail
road in the Indian Territory. The
prosecution will try to prove that the
young man took advantage of the
child and kept Ter under threats for
three months. \ few days ago she
whispered the story to one of her
schoolmates.
The story of the affair leaked out
in the community and it was report
ed that Howerton was advised to
leave if he expected to escape prose
cution. lie left Marion and was
supposed to have gone to Harrisburg,

ing in that neighborhood wrote an
anonymous letter to the Children
Society in Louisville. Superintend-
ent George l.. Sehon sent John w.
Hutchen to Crttenden county to
look after the welfare Of the girl aud
aid in the prosecution of the charge
against Howerton.
After Ilowerton'S departure the
authorities kept close watch for him
and looked for some clue TO his
whereabouts in some other city. He

AGED MINISTER DIES
Rev. Cundlff Passed Peacefully Away
al His Residence In COrydOn,
After a Brief Illness.

Rev. b. \. Cundif, venerable
minister, died at his home in Cory
don Sunday at noon, after a short
illness with stomach trouble. He
had been very low for two days.
Mr. Cundifi was one of the best.
known Methodist minister in the
Louisville conferences and was 1S
years of age. He was born in Har-
din county and lived there to man
hood. He was converted aud Joined
the Methodist church IN the county
when in his teens under the preach
ing of Rev. J. W. Emerson, and was
licensed to exhort under the ministry
of DIR. George II Hays. who now
lives in this city. A few years after
his conversion Rev. Cundif joined
the Louisville conference IN 1884,
and has preached at many points in
his life in this conference. While
quite a young man he married a
Miss Rosseau, of Wayne county.
The union was blessed with several
children, two of whom, Mrs. +. w.
Medcalf, of Smithland, and Chas.
Cundiff, of Hardin county, with their
mother, survive the deceased. Also
three grandchildren, who made their
home with him, survive.
Mr.. Cundiff was an earnest worker
and has delivered more sermons than
any man in the Louisville conference.
He had no peers as revivalist in
the Louisville conference and proba-
bly, none In the state. He had more
conversions under his preaching and
licensed more young men to preach
than any other preacher in the Louis
vile conference. He was great
advocate of the second blessing or
sanctification, aud preached many
powerful sermons on that subject.
He had splendid voice; in fact, it
was marvel Gus, and he had the rep.
utation of being heard at a greater
distance than any other preacher IN
the conference.
He had a great religious faith,
which kept him from despair during
some great trials that befell him.
One of his sons was drowned at
Hartford, a little daughter burned

TO death at Marion, and another
daughter suffered with stomach
troub.cat Leitch6eld, so that she
could not eat anything. Her helpless
parents had to watch her dwindle
away with no chance Of relieving her
suffering. Through all these trials
Mr.. Cundiff never lost faith but con-
tinued in his work as minister.
Rev. J. T. Rushing, of this city,
joined the church at Marion while
Mr.. Cunditf was the pastor there
The funeral was conducted from
the Methodist church in Corydon at

nearly every county in the dark

Fire Wednesday.

The house occupied by Mary Hem
ry Sutcliffe on South Main street was
burned Wednesday morning of last
week about ten o'clock. 1t caught
fire while she was absent at a neigh
bors aud was beyond control before
it was discovered. Nothing was
saved, except one chair. The house
belonged to Betty Head, colored,
who lives in Paducah, and was not

sold team of mules for one hundred
and sixty dollars before leaving
home.
Miss Hattie Majors, pretty
young school teacher, who is a sweet
heart of Howerton, drove to Marion
yesterday and Mr.. Hutchen saw her
enter bank and draw sum of
money. She had six hundred dollars
on deposit and the bank would only
give her ten per cent. of 1t. She
made ready to depart on a north
bound train, saying that she was
going to Henderson to visit
friends.
Agent Hutchen purchased a ticket
for Henderson also. On arriving in
henderson he noted that Miss Majors
did not leave the train, but paid
cash fare to Evansville. He went to
Evansville also. When the train
stopped in the Louisville X Nashville
station Howerton met the young
woman at the gate. Mr.. Hutchen
followed them out into the street and
placed the warrant of arrest in the
hands OF policeman who took How
erton into custody.
Hutchen and his prisoner left
Evansville yesterday afternoon. When
they arrived at the station in the In
diana city Miss Majors was waiting
for them. On the journey to this
city Howerton and his sweetheart sat
together, he being manacled with
handouts Notwithstanding.
When they arrived here late in
the afternoon Howerton was remand.
ed to Jail, and Miss Majors was d.
rected to the home of some of her
friends In the city.
Percy Howerton denied the ac-
cusation, saying that he was not
guilty of taking unlawful advantage
of the girl. After the arrest he ex-
pressed willingness to marry Caro-
line Watts, but that is not probable
outcome of the affair. The little
girl against whom he is accused of
committing the crime is too young
to be held responsible for any wrong,
even if she had not been threatened
with death as is charged against
Howerton and nobody will hold her
responsible morally.
The agent of the Children Home
Society took the child to Marion and
a wealthy Jewish merchant asked
that he might be permitted to take
her into MS home and bring her up
in good moral atmosphere, saying at

The work in this section has now
been prosecuted about as far as can
for this season. Mr.. Morgan urged
the farmers here to bring all the
pressure possible to bear upon their
Congressman to have another appro-
priation made by Congress to con-
tinue the experiments next summer.

He says that under the new rules, by
