Fi- nally, after nearly 10 days of weary investigation, a neighbor to the Browns, while passing through a woodland, was attracted to an ob- ject that some hogs were rooting be- neath a pile of dead leaves and other rubbish. Going up to it he was horrified by the discovery of the headless body of a female. He drove the hogs off, recovered the corpse and hastened to give the alarm. The Brown family, by the clothing that was on the body, soon recognized it as the remains of the missing daugh- ter, and their grief at her disapear- ance was intensified. The head could not be found anywhere near the spot where the body was discov- ered and was not recovered until after along and careful search. It had been wrapped in a cioth ora portion of the girl’s dress and buried some distance away from the scene of the crime. At last strong suspicion fell upon two of the slaves on the Johnson place. Tho evidence against them was purely circumstantial, and they, ignorant and superstitious as they were, when confronted and charged with the horrible crime, were so badly frightened that it was easy, | indeed, to take their embarrassment | for a tacit admission of their guilt. The poor negroes were hanged with but little ceremony, and it was thought that the murder of Polly | Brown had been avenged Time passed and Martha Brown began to act etrangely. She grew despondent, morose and melancholy and finally became subject to long fits os weeping. Her health broke, and she became a physical wreck.

The Mystery ot Polly Brown’s Fate tn Kentucky. —Killed by her Sister. Danville, Ky, April 16.—The Pearl Bryan murder has revived the Mory of the killing of the beautiful | Polly Brown, of Girard county, by | ber sister Martha. About the year 1853, Isaac Brown ‘man of wealth, moved from near Rushville, Ind, to Kentucky, and finally settled in Girard county, not | great distance from Lancaster. He bought a large farm, owned slaves | ind was aman of standing in the Community. In the family were two daughters, Polly and Martha, both beautiful girls of nearly tho same age. When the girls were about 18 Years of age they met a young black- | smith of good family of the name of Burrel Johns Wolently infatuated with Polly, the ee re Youngest of the two daughters. She Teturred his love and gave way, and she was a raving maniac. Then the mystery of the murder of pretty Polly Brown was solved. Martha had killed her sister. In her mad ravings she told the terrible story over and over again. She pictured the crime as vividly as language could portray it. She would enact it, showing how the blow was struck; how she feiled her sister even while caressing her. They who soon became ny in the spring.

Muskegon, Mich., April 10.—H. B. Minchall, au insurance agent, was supected of the attempt to assassin- ate W. B Sands last night, and it was decided to place him under ar- rest The cflicers found his residence locked and broke in the door. A horribie sight was presented. Mrs. Minchall was iying on the floor of of the sitiing-1oom with a buliet hole in her t-wpie. Near her was the dead body of her daughter Ruby about 16 years old. Ina corner of the same room lay Minchall with a revolver clutched in his hand. He, too, was dead. Inan adjoining bed- room were found the bodies of George, aged 4,and his infant broth- er. They were in bed together and death had evidently come upon them while they slept. Minchall came here three years ago from Chicago. The developments today tend to prove that Minchall’s horrible crimes were deliberately planned. From a letter written by the murderer,found on the premises today, it appears that be contemplated killing his family two months ago. Fear of poverty is the excuse offered, and the writer asks a Chicago friend to look after the murderer’s family in case they survived him. At the time he seems to have been undecided whether to commit the crime Mine- hail left another long letter, the gist of which is that Mr. Sanda had promised him all his company’s bus- iness, and now demanded one third of the commission and Minchall was badly involved, and extreme love for the family prompted him to kill them, rather than to see them suffer.
