A Talk with the Wife of the Dead Man, The Missing Leconnt-Rook---Where Was the Money Ts Collected 3 Following utp the new clew to the mysterions murder of Clark, published fn yesterday's rinuNE, the reporter onee more pald a visit to Latirange yesterday, The facts ns worked by Tim Trinunm repre- gentative yesterday strengthened him in the be- Jief that ather partles wers concerncd In tha murder than those suspeeted on the start, and, furthermore. that the object was robbery,—~not amere desire to get rid of the deceased, Taking up the thread where it was dropped Sunday, M woon * gasomain visited. He told substantially the game story that was publislied {n this paper yes- terday morning, with a few slght variations. He went with a little boy who lives with bim (not his fon) to i suine putatoes the other sido of the railroad track. He lives in a house about an ctehith of o mile from Mr. Clark's; toward the depot, facing the southon tho street run- pine enst and weat and at right angles to the street upon which tho latter is situated, On s way home ho stopped to chat outside with Alr. Maxon at s grocery store, near the depot, setting his basket of potatoes down pear by, The clock struck 85 lo sat and talked a Jittle tiwa longer, and then he and the boy started for home. Ile had gono a short dletance on the other slze of the rallroad when he discovered that he had forcotten his pota. toes, aud scnt hia little boy back after them, accompany niz Wi an for as the public pump, . by the depot, where he tour r deink and walted for the boy to zet back with the potatoes. They once more started for home. Upon arriving at wthe white house,” about hall way to the coruer, the lady of the louso came. out 10 the cate and held a fewy minutes' o with_ him “upon the subject of " They agnin started on, and’ when tacks o man passed them, coming from acroes thoe flells In the dircctionof Mr, Clark's vlace, 1t was not very light, but the moon chanced at that moment to stiow itself dimly through a break in the clouds, and Wool maw that the stravicer was a medlumn-aized man, with rather broud, square shoulders. Ilo was dressed I dark suit of clother, and wore a Wack slouch hat, which he pulled down over bls cres, Ho lmng his ead and walked rapldly by withont loutkting up. Nothing could be seen of 1ife face, ouly o white line in the vicinity of his peck and chin, At thy same ‘time o Loy or youug man’ came riding down the road from the north upon o burse. He could mot_ dlstinuuish the attire of this person, but it was Ins lmpression that ho wore a lizht- colored but, which lie also pulied dawn over his eves, und at the snne time leancd forward upon bis_horse ko that he could not bu recognized. Ouiy his outline was discernible azalnst tho eky. Mr. Wood hud had a gun stolen fromn his house o few swweeks bofore, und his first thought was that the purtlcs had been atter mors pluns der. He partially made up his mind to follow the susplclous-looking inatviduals, but he thought e would fitst go home aud sce whiether he had been robbed of anything. This was the substance of Mr. Wood's story, which furnished the clew that bids fair to approbend the true as- sasslus af Mr. Clark. TIE NESIDENCE OF TIE DECEASED was next visited, and an interview souzht with bts widew. Iler sister and Mr. Durland stated that It hod been pusltivelv forbidden that any- bty should sco or talk to the lady, but by dint of perseyerance the reporter gaiued admittance 1o her presence, uccompanied by her sister. Mrs. Clark's face exhibited n carcworn expression, and It wasevident that ane had suffored terribly, Khe spoke In the same nilld tones, however, that have charactenzed her speech from the commencement of the writer’s acqualntance with her, und mantfested no fmpatience or an- ger ot the rather pertinent and plain yuestions put to her, She said ‘Ine TrinuNe had treated her kindly all througn, nd had not abused her without enuse and slandered ber, as somo of the othey pavers had: for this stie felt oratifled, and ‘was willing to_tell all shu kaoew of tho sad oceur- Tence, with a view of getting at tho truth. The reporter asked her of whom her husband rented lond, and she replicd that he had rented of diltersut ,partica, ke had tsken some from Mr. Bichmond, who restdes in Naperville,, and some frow the Widow Babcock. “Was tnere any rent due from him1? “Yes, L bieard hini say that belind 3100 to pay for rent to Mrs, Babeork- on the 15th.

From another source tho reporter: lénrned that the horse hiad been sold toa Mr, Durland, A brother of the man emploved by Mr. Clark, living ghout two and one-half miles south- west of LaGrange, and that he neither recelved Any nioney nor took a note for it, Mrs. Clark shuwed the rnrunur lier room, in which the Zimmerman girl said she had teen Jocked up with Joa St. Peter. She sald sho always used it na a sort of sitting-room, and " all tho members of tho family wenl in ond out freely, In it were her sewing-ma- chine, an accordlon, a work-table, chairs, e, Bhie and her sister from Naperviile hoth sald that ladies who came to call aud wero intinate, nearly always came in and went up-stairs to hier rooin to sit and tnlk. She sald it was falae that she had ever boen locked in the room with Joc. Thers wns a peculiarity In the Jock, which, when the door was closed, appearcd at tmes to be locked when it was not. Her husband hind three or four times comne to the door and tried it, and had shonted to her to unlock ity when It was not locked ntall, iler sister stated that sho had witnessed this same accurrence one Bunday afternoon. The littie Loy wao had reported to tho servant that the door was locked wos buHJyunrs of age, Ile had doubtless come and tried it, and as It did not readlly yield, had sald it was fastencd. After leaving Mra, Clark the reporter wended his way on foot uver a ud road, with the rain descending in torrents, to the farm of TTE WIDOW NABCOCK, nearly a mile away, to find out whether that Tnuly had recelved her rent from Mr. Clark, The journcy was anything but a pleasant ove. Tho vedestrain sought shelter fnthe barn of a her- mitago mnrled by an old German, and was bitten by a huga bull-deg. ‘The owner of the dog consoled the afilicted ong by saying, * Yah, dotsh goot for der loafers," bt lic alterward compensated for the rudeness of himsclf and dog by loaning the younz man tha most astonishing specimen of an umbrella that it has ever becn his fortuneto witness. Tho voyage was made through clover-floios knec- devp and mud ditto, and at Inst the haven was reached. Mrs. Babeock futormed her caller that Mr. Clark owed her rent, which was due on the 15th. He was to have pald it the day aftor ho ‘was shot,~Thursday,~but she had not yet re- ceived a cent, ‘Thia settled tho rent matiur. A thousand rumors have been circulated con- cerning this mysterfous murder since, its occur- rence, and the reporter heard A PRESI ONE Festerday, which taonly a falr sample of the ro- linbiiity of them all. A mneighbor told the writer that Mr. Lister, the blackstlth (father. fu-law to Martin, who saw Joo 8t. Peter on tha rond piking for LaGrauge), had told him that he had been {nforfied by Ernst, the former ‘bired mun of Clark, ‘that he had over- heard two follows in “Nick's! pay thut they knew o mon who was Rolng to swear noxt Wednesday at tho Coro- ner's inquest that he had sold Joo Bt.

The owncr of the dwell- fur-house wliere bicer wus sold was not at howme. 1118 good wife, however, stated that theru wero two or thres young men i there delnking on Wednesday altcruoon, but she did not know who they were. She did not know Joo 8t. Poter, nefther did her husband, Still, this mission was not without its fruits, for it wns cstablistied in the reporter's mind that theso two youug tnen were tho real murderers of Clark, as ncarly as could bo judged from thelr deseription, MM STOONER, of the Union Cemcnt Company, was visited last cvening ut his residence, aud ingquiry was made us to whether he had pald Clark any woney, or whothier he had scen the man, Mr. Spoouer fuld he recollected meeing Clork at his ollice._one day tast week,—it inight have been Wedneaday, but he wasn't sure,—and that lie wanted mouney for hay which tho Buperiu. tendent had bought, No” money was pald to him, and it is still owing,—some {rifling amonnt. ‘These bills, Mr, Spooner explalned, are pald gencrally on the first of the wonth, and it was uot conventent Lo disturb the rule of the ofllce.

OTHER EVIDENCE waa gathered strengthening the theory of rob- Lery, advanced by 'I'us TRinuNg yesterday and binted at the doy before, and everything' bids lalr for the succesa of tho new clew. The mur- dered man had some money about his person at the time of his death which was not founa afterwand, Jlo kept an account-book, which e carrled with him wherever ho wenf, This has mot beon secn aluco his death, He always carried his moncy 1n bis vest pocket, and ng hind bis veat on when be was shot. Ho sold n horse a fow daya before, and he weat to tho clty that day with n view of collectivg a consld- eruble sutn of money from partiea who owed bin. o was getiing all the money together which he could rake and scrape to pay his rent the uext day. He was shot, us all oxperta agree, 88 ho was about-entering his barn, being ublmm] to step up noarly two feet from_tho upile of offal to the sill of the door. e turned quickly and ran 1o the houso neross the corner, 1ot around upon the walk, strikiui the latter ln the vicinity of the pump, On his way he uttered his “deatt ery,” whichis o pecullar ery of a person who bas hiad his system shocked by o sudden and fatal wound, and which conaists of o sudden ejection of all the air that is in hislunga, and lsalways the lust sound uttered by the victim, Men have been known to run acon- siderable distance after being shot through the heart, and this was no exception, The brain tetalns Its full facuity, even after tho lower vital oreans bave ccased to operate, Ho paused an nstant ut the pump to step upon the walk, at which thino the first blood spot was founrd, and then inlshed his run to the stairway. Al this could be doue in two seconds, aud without breath. X THXKAR ARE TIRER PARTIES INPLIOATED ° in this deed. Two of thun are amateur des- rudocs, ripe for anything that turus up.

Wasninatoy, D, C., Augr, 19.—~There lsamis aoprehension ns to the effect of the recent dectslon of the Attorney-General respecting patents. The ncope of the decision was this: It has sometimes happened that inventors with- out money have induced othier persons to ad- +ance them tnoney to take out and perfect thele vatents in consideration of an Interest In the invention. In somo cases, persons who have thus advanced money have joined with the in- ventor in an oath which requires the applicapt for o patent to state that he s the real and true inventor, It has Gappencd in some instances that the money-loaner and Inventor have nade oath that they were the joint jnventors. This has been done without a proper understanding of thelaw, The Attorney-General decldessuchan oath invalid, because the ecapitallst coutd not be consldered the jnventor; that application fora relssue of the patent $n such a case could not he granted, because a reiseuc only contemolateld & correction in & valld deed, whereas, in fact, & patent granted to.two persons claiming to bo jolot Ioventors, one of whom was in no senso an taventor, was not valid, as tho oath was not good. The Attorney-General conseguently de- cided that all such patents are vold. It fanot believed that the number or importance of such patents is as great as has been reported. This decislon in no way affects tho sssignment of o ‘patent before it has been {ssucd. Such an as- signment s entlrely vald, provided the patent 1s {ssued in the name of the actua! inventor.
