about $500, which she carried in 8
 belt secreted on her person. The
 crime aroused the negroes in the section of Moscow. Officers of the city police force in this city and of ficers of the sheriff's office investi- gated the crime. For several days not a clue could be found. Con- stable J. Frank Stewart, of Vaugine township took up the case, and with out delay found clue which led to Blackburn as the perpetrator of the heinous crime. Constab able Stewart with his force of deputies made the case famous by the shrewd detective work which led to Blackburn's ar- rest. After 1aboring diligently or the case, Constable Stewart unearth- ed evidence which was so strong that hanging was predicted immediately after his arrest. It was generally known by negroes that Mary Gordon carried the large sum of money on her person all the time. Blackburn is known to have been intimate with his uncle and aunt, and knew that the old negress carried the money. After his arrest the officers secur- ed over s400 of the money from Blackburn
 When the inquisitprial body, the grand jury, began Investigations some time ago Attorney Nixon who is making brilliant record as district attorney, was active ill securing the indictment of Blackburn on two charges of robbery. From simple facts which he gathered in investi- gating the murder he wove a net so strong for the prosecution that in the minds of experienced jurists the mat ter of arguing the case was a for mality. The negro was tried yes terday for the murder of Mary Cor don. The first indictment resulted in the verdict and now charge of murder in the first degree and rob bery are still pending against the negro
 Blackburn implicated Will Swindie and Will Clay, two negroes of the Moscow district, and even charged them with the murder, saying that they borrowed his pistol, and before his eyes one of them shot the old couple in the road, secured the mon ey and returned him his pistol with part of the money. When investi- gated, however, both Clay and Swim dle accounted for their whereabouts at the time of the murder and prov ed that they were i'll no way con nected with the crime.
 Judge Grace is expected to pass sentence on the negro in few days. efter which it will be thirty days be- fore the execution can be made. Should the death penalty be indicat- ed Blackburn win meet his death in the yard of the Jefferson county iail in this city.
 The criminal trial calendar of the March term of circuit court opened Monday Attorney Nixon had many old cases from former calendars to dispose of but he went at the work with determination and has cleared many, dismissing a large number Monday. Three trials by jury have been held out of which the able young attorney secured three convic- tions. The conviction of Blackburn on the first degree murder charge is his most important so far.
