 confirms what was already in the minds of the people, which Mr. Su- garman has not denied.
 But the mystery remains, at least fer the present, and may remain for some days. There is little possibil- ity however, that it will always re- main a mystery. The officers are not telling all they know, and it ia not believed that they still think negro shot the people on the Sweet Home pike. In fact the name of ar other well known man is mentioned freely in connection With the case. and many believe the officers know who did the shooting and are only waiting for the case to be taken up by the grand jury. It is we'll known fact that the officers have worked hard on the case, and they have &C., cumulated much evidence that will be placed before the grand jury as soon ss it is through Investigating the jail cases, which will likely be tomorrow or next day.
 The rumor has it that the man whose name is connected with it would not have shot the woman, and 5t he had wanted to kill anybody the man would have been his victim. It is stated that Mrs. Diehl was doing the driving, and was on the right hand side of the buggy. This being the case she could easily have been mistaken fer the man.
 Mr. Diehl stated positively at first that he was with his wife at the time ct the shooting and described mi nutely all the details of the tragedy, Nov he says the first statement was made under great mental stress.
 1t is not known what induced MT. Diehl to change his statement and admit that he was not with his wife. unless it was the charge of Judge Lea to the grand jury yesterday morning, and the knowledge that the fsct would come out any way.
 His First Statement.
 Explaining why he made the state ment last night, MT. Diehl said:
 I make this statement for the reason that want to do everything possible to run down or assist in running down the murderers of my wife. My former statement was made under stress of great excitement and grief, before my wife died, and when l sought to protect her name and tn. future of my children. I am deeply grateful to Judge Lea for his special charge to the grand jury with. refer eDce to the murder of my wife. and will do all in my power to help the jurors.
 'On the night of the shooting re- ,elvca phone message at the Mac cabee hall that my wife had met with an accident and was at the Confed- crate Home. I immediately phoned TOT car and went to the home aa [ast as l could. Dr. Mason. Sugar. nan and several other people were here. As I entered the room my Wife said to me: I haven't done any, hing wrong; I've just made a mis- axe, and l know she told me the ruth. I know she had done no : vrcng.''
 The mystery of the murder. how yer. still remains unsolved, and if frs. Diehl knew who fired the fatal :; not she did not tell her husband, or ] she did he is still keeping that ack from the public, as he has not minated that he knows who fired he shot. It may be that when the grand fury 1 cts into the case and some of the 'ossible eye witnesses are called on { testify under oath, more of the aystery will be solved. In the aeantime it is safe to assume that 1 he officers have some evidence in the , ase that is known only to them ( elves, and will give it out at the F roper time. and in the proper man. er.
