slyly to the judges stepson. After an
absence of some thirty minutes or
more Reed returned with the brandy.
He pulled the cork. While Jones was
looking out of the window he slipped
small vial out of his pocket and, Civ
ing his partner an opportunity to see
1t, he turned the contents into the
bottle of brandy. He gave the bottle
a shake and set it down on the table.
The judges stepson's face flushed and
there was tremor in his voice. He
seemed to comprehend the noxious
power of the venomous ingredient that
had been poured into the bottle. Reed
appeared self-possessed and proficient
in the art of deceiving and bold and
bad enough to commit any crime.

They had left the Merchants hotel
late in the afternoon. Jones, the sup

A Brutal Murder and Robbery.

Another of those outrageous and
dastardly murders which have so
recently startled the community
occurred in this city yesterday af-
ternoon, the particulars of which
are as follows: 1t appears that
shortly after dark last evening a
well dressed man, apparently
thirty-five years of age, was found
by the police lying near the foot
of CORTLAND street in an insensi-
BILE condition. He was taken to the
police station, where restoratives
were administered, and when he
had revived Efficiently he stated
that his name was P. r. Jones and
that he was from Fort Wayne,
Ind.
Mr.. Jones was removed to the city
hospital last evening, where he be-
came delirious and died about nine
o'clock. The police are on the
track of the murderers, who are
supposed to be from Baltimore or
Washington, as the clerk at the
hotel states that they came in just
after the arrival of the Washing
ton train. The clerk Is positive he
can identify them.
A frightful ghost had risen and was
standing in it's most horrible form be-
fore the now half-crazed stepson. The
rope of the hangman was looming up
before his eyes. He did not even
take time to wash his face, so great
was his anxiety to leave New York be-
hind him. Even the very air he
breathed seemed tainted with the foul
be dangerous to travel by rail at first,
and they started away on foot, and
finally concluded to make their way
to New Orleans.
Reed was, of course, the ruling
spirit and was carrying out the plan
they had agreed upon. They doubled
back and forth with the object of put
ting imaginary pursuers off the track.
Reed was seeking delay for the pur-
pose of gaining time. When the pair
arrived at New Orleans about the first
thing that met their eyes was a hand
bill posted in the depot describing the
fugitives and offering a reward for
their arrest and conviction. Staring
at the bill with beads of perspiration
starting upon his brow the judges
stepson nearly collapsed. He was
careworn, downhearted and ready to
speed away as swift as steam could
carry him. In the course Of time the
fugitives arrived at Brownsville, Tex.
From this point l received note from
Reed saying that they intended to
cross the Rio Grande and work their
way to the City of Mexico.
To the minds of the detectives who
played their part in this case the
whole affair appeared a farce.
After time Reed returned from
Mexico. He had given his companion
the slip and was quite positive in his
opinion that the judges stepson would
never dare show his face In the Uni.
ted States. He declared the man was
about the greatest coward he had ever
met with.
, Reed was correct In his opinion, as
the fugitive, so far as | know, has
never been heard Of He certainly did
not appear In Washington to further
annoy the Judge and his wife. He may
still be running from Nemesis that
will never overtake him.
