An old negro woman has been
found who testified That she got to-

consumed the bodies of the two
men, and that she saw one Of the
bodies which appeared not TO have
any head on it. This coupled with
the fact that the skull containipe

one Of the brothers was decapita

A prominent citizen says he saw
one OF the Stuart brothers with
large sum OF money not long before
the tragedy. II seems to be a SET
tied opinion that the object Of the
murder was to obtain money.
