The murderous instruments, an axe and a hatchet, were lying, blood-stained, by the side of the corpse. A man named Isaac Powell was ar- rested, charged with the commission of the ing deed. ‘owell admitted having taken the hatchet from the yard of a neighbor named Boker, on the previous Bunday evening, but denied all knowledge of the murder. His statements, however, in regard to his whereabouts on that evening, were made in a hesitating and contra- dictory manner. Powell was taken before Esquire Bridell, a Justice of the Peace for Marshall county, and was committed to jail to answer the charge of murder at the next term of the Marshall coun- ty Cirewit Court.
