Not long after this Miss Heath re-
ported to me that she had discovered
Malcolm Thomson, and was sure he
was engaged in some kind of crooked
business. l sent a skilled man to the
neighborhood where Thomson was liy-
ing. to cultivate that gentlemans
acquaintance. Soon he discovered
that Thomson was carrying on a thri-
wing business smuggling goods across
Lake Pontchartrain into the Confed-
eracy. Also it was found out that
Thomson was greatly afraid of detec-
ton by the federal authorities. Like
all crooks he deemed everyone else
crooked, and was seeking an alliance
with someone who could six" the ru-
ling powers This timidity led him
to take into his confidence the detect
i've in my employ, Colonel Moncos-
sus.
Moncossus easily arranged a part

influence with the federal authorities
and his ability to obtain the necessary
permits for taking out goods and
bringing in cotton. Thomson was to
furnish the money, while Moncossus
was to take charge of the little
schooner employed, and manage the
authorities. There also was third
partner In the scheme, a man named
Hopper, who was located at Mande-
Vile, just across Lake Pontchartrain
and inside the Confederate lines. Col
onel Moncossus wished to meet this
partner, to whom he was stranger,
and Thomson furnished him with a
photograph OF the man, that there
might be no trouble in identifying
him. Moncossus brought the photo
graph to me, and l left it on my desk
without thinking much about it. Miss
Heath, happening In soon after, saw
the photograph and recognized it as a
picture Of Andy BarroWs. The myth

stances were nightly against John
Barrows. These old neighbors always
had been his friends and were not
really malicious, their action being
merely the result of the Well-sown
seeds OF distrust scattered by Nal
colin Thomson. John was adjudged
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Jane Heath vowed she would move
Heaven and earth to free her lover,
and through her efforts he was grant
ed a short respite by the governor OF
the state, and he was to remain a
few months in Jail before the execu-
ton. With renewed hope, she deter

his life. She insisted that there was
no proof whatever that Andy Barrows
was not alive; that all the evidence
was purely circumstantial; and she SO
earnestly persisted in her theory, and
cast SO much doubt on the guilt OF
John. that she finally prevailed upon
the governor to commute his sentence

Soon after the trial of John Bar
rows, Malcolm Thomson determined
to leave that neighborhood. Before do,

talked to her most consolingly. But
Jane was suspicious, and his protested

San FranUkco, January 17.-Rear Ad- miral Edward Barry has hauled down his pennant and relinquished the com. rnand of the Pacific fleet to Rear Admiral Chauncey M. Thomas.

BOND PURCHASERS
 WANT INTEREST

Jackson. Miss. January 17.-(Special.)- The supreme court has set Tuesday, January 24, as the day on which the man Janus to compel State Treasurer Ed wards to pay the acrued interest on the $6O0,000 worth of per cent bonds will be heard
 In the meantime Seasongood & Meyer of Cincinnati, purchasers of $170,000 worth of the bonds, have demanded their money back. This demand was made on Gov ernor Noel, but he was without authority to take money out of the treasury for that or any other purpose, well as he would like to do so in this case.
 The Cincinnati firm declares the ac- ton of the treasurer in refusing to pay the interest has ruined the credit of the state and that they will now be unable to sell the bonds at any price.
 A special session of the legislature seems the only way out of the trouble and Governor Noel will resort to that method of squaring accounts before he will permit another repudiation stain to stand aganist the state.
