HELD FOR MURDER.
r,arles Donaghe Charged With the
Murder of His Sister.

Staunton, Va, June 6.-Charles Do
,ghe has been arrested charged with
murder fhis sister, Becy Do
!,he, and lodged in jail.
He vigorously protested his lnno-
.ce and feigned to believe he was
ine taken to the Western State Hos
+ tai for the insane. He is. nearly 70
years old, but appears younger.
While he and his sister lived in a
lsqualor, they had wardrobe OF fine
Clothes consisting of silks, satins and
broadcloths packed away in an old
chest.
Those who visited the Donaghe
home described it squalid and dilap-
ida;ed beyond belief Tor civilized
community. The hovei is small
frame affair back from the road on a
40.acre farm, with nearly all Win
dow panes gone and holes in the roof
sufficient to let IN the eiements. Inc
house is surrounded with rank weeds
and briars. A flight of rickety steps
leads to the sisters room, while a
,flimsy ladder led to the loft where the
brother slept. Poultry and pigs roam
ed the lower part of the house at will.
They were once refined and in a
measure educated people, the sister
having taught for number of years,
and both wrote poetry and prose flu
entity. Theey were connected with a
once prominent family.
Officials believe that the brother
committed the crime, as they lived at
daggers' points for years and never
spoke to each other except in a hos
tile way. Pictures show that in youth
both had been well dressed and hand
some.
