Mr. Jolliff is a brother of Mrs, Josepn Kurtz, who was murdercd, and Mr. Schaus is the father of the littie girl who was also among the victims. Mr. Jolliff visited the sceno jJust after the bodies were fonnd and describes the wurder as one of the most cold-blooded known in the uanals of the frontier.

The Burrill family occupied the Coopertown house for nearly four years, then abandoned it—being unable to resell it—and occupied anvther, a half- mile away, which at first they rented and afterward bought, Here the widow of William Burrill and one maiden daughter were living as lately as 1884, which was the date of the writer’s last knowledge of them, At that time the old Lord dwelling, which had stood tenantless for years, had just been demolished, with many others, to make room for a new street. It had long had an uncanny reputation as o ‘‘haunted house,” and although the sceptics were many, and repeated in- vestigations had been made of the super- natural phenomena said to oceur nightly within its walls, it wns noticeable that even the most incredulous always spoke of them with gravity and no one in Coopertown attempted to discredit them by ridicule, The subject was uni- versally regarded as worthy of serious aiscussion. There was reason enough, for one of the dismal traditions of the house—nameiy thatno one could remain alone in it over night and keep both life and reason---had been twice con- firmed in the most authenticating way. One hardy investigator had been found n the morning dead without any as- signable cause, and another person —a tramp who in all unconsciousness of the dwolling’s history had stolen-a lodging there—had rushed out at the gray of the morning incurably mad. That the house was haunted was open to honest doubt, but these somber passagoes in § annals had at least invested that proposition with a certain dignity which made it inaccessible to ridicule. The manifestations, it appears, began on the 10th day of Juno, 18 more than three years after the Buv family moved into the house. On the evening of that date, at about 7 o’clock, ile the family were sitting on the winda after dinner, John Easton Lord, the former owner, came in at the gate, nseended the steps of the veranda, s ectly between Mr. and Mrs, Burrill and entered the house by the hall door. Mr. Burrell had en 1o greet him, but the proffered hand had remained unheeded. 13y not so much as a look had*Lord recognized any mem- ber of the family. to ull of whotm he was well known. He was immediately fol- lowed into the house by Burrill and his 4 Burrill, whose astonish- ment was great indeed at not finding their visitor. The only door by which he could have left the house found securely locked, with the key inside, and all'the windows were fastened ex- cepting those opening on to the veran- . arch of the entire house re- sulted in nothing. Lord had not been n by anyhody eise in town, and the without an expla- Aletter to Pittsburg brougit 't in reply that on the day of ston Lord had nation. out the f its occnr | be seven weel From this time forward, until they left the house months afterward, the Burrill family appear to have suffered great annoyanee and alarm from what were aflirmed to be supernatural mani- festations. The character of these is inexactly known: with a view to dam- aging thewr proper as little as possible, all th members of the family . preserved a discreet si- onee; but the most extravagant tales ~ were bruited orally and through the local n is needle: were of the ki houses said to be “‘haunted. By the time the property hud been condemned for a public use, appreised and paid fov Mr. Burrill was dead, and the family scattered in distant parts of the try—all except the . widow, who wi hér dotage,and one elderly maide daughter, whose sustere silence on thi subject was absolutely infrangibie. There is ample and credible testimony, popular and professional, that when the fumily moved out of the house all were suffering ucutely from insomnin und nervous prosteation—from which, 1n- deed, the youngest, a girl of seventeen, eventually died. From voluminous notes of an investi- gation made by a competent inquirer in 1584 it is found that all or nearly-all, of the least in ible accounts of super- natural occurrences in und aboub the Lord house relate to the visible appa- rition of the late John Easton Lord. Most of the testimony us to that ele- ment has in it something appronching trustworthines: If anything at all “out of the common” ever took place there, something which many cool headed witnesses took to be the ghost of Lord habitually showed itself about the premises by night and sometimes ay. It was considered a malign although in life Lord had been inguiarly amiable disposition. When the house was pulled down and its site excuvated forn new street a workman beginning a trench from the cellar, uncovered a plain board box which appeared to have been thrust through an opening in the cellar wall into a hole behind it. The opening in the wall had been curefully bricked up, 80 that the pluce was indistinguishable. The box contained the remuins of a human bemng—a man.

Its owner’s opinion of the matter was unknown; he and his family had disappeared one night and no trace of them had ever heen found. They left everything— household goods, clothing provisions, the horses in the stable, the cows in the field, the negroes in the quarters,— all as it stood; nothing was missing— except a man, a woman, three girls a boy and a babe! It was not altogether surprising that a plantation where seven human beings could be simultan- cously effaced and nobody the wiser, should be thought to be under some monstrous curse and teeming with pos- sibilities of evil, Ono night in June, 1859, two citizens of Frankfort, Col. J. C. McArdle, a lawyer, and Judge Myron Veigh, of the state militia, were driving from Booue- ville to Mafichester. Their business was 80 important that they decided to push on despite darkness and the mutterings of an approaching, storm, which eventuall broke upon them just as they arrived opposite the “Spook house.” The light- ning was so incessant that they easily found their way through the gatoeway and into n shed, where they unhitched their team, which they conducted into an adjacentstable and unharnessed by no other light than that of the heavens. They then went to the house, through the scourging rain,und knocked at all tho doors without, however, eliciting any response, Attributing this to the continuous uproar of the thunder, they pushed at one of the doors, which yield- | laughable details’ by somo of the brightest ed.

It led into another room! This apartment wus suffu with a faint, greenish hight, the sou of which I could not determine, making everything distinetly ble, though nothing was sharply defined. Every- thing, [ but, 1n truth, the only ob- jects within the blank stone walls of that rbom were human dead bodies. In number they were perhaps eight or ten —it may well be understood that I did not coolly count them. They were of various ages. or rather sizes, from in- faney up, and of both sexes. All were pro ie on the floor in all kinds of attitudes, cxcepting one, the bod apparently of a young woman, wh sat up, its back suapported by an angle of the wul The babe was clasped in the arms of another and older woman, A half-grown lad lay fuce downward e the legs of a full-bearded man, One or two were nearly nuked, and the hand of & young girl beld the fragment of a gown which she had torn open at the breast. The bodies were in variou stages of decay, all greatly shrunken in fuce and figure. Some were but little more than skeletons. “While I stood stupefied with horror by this ghastly spectacle and still hold ing open the door by some unaccounts ble perversity my attention s di- verted from the shocking scene and concerned itself with trifles and details, Perhaps my mind, with the instinet of self-preservation, sought relief in *mat- ters which would relax its dangerous tension. Among other thing I observed that thedoor which I was holding open was of heavy ivon plates riveted.
