TKAi’lilNUI'HDEHEH By CHARLES B. LEWIS (M. QUAD).

(Copyright, 1N85, by Charles B. U'wi«. | <)n the man ling of Oct. 7, VSi’.i, Mr JumeK Shields, one of tlie live or si* merchanta at Warren, arrived at his sbire to tlnd that it had not been opentd us ; usual by the clerk, who slept in a room in the second story. The wooden blinds were nj), the doors lor ,oh and for a , quarter of an hour efforts were made to arouse the clerk, who wp.s suppised to (lave oversh'pt hnn.'-eif. His tuune was (re irpo Yates Ins i'.^o was 2.'i, and he i luid Isa'ii employed in the store for sevI end years. By and by it was discovered 1 that some one la d entered the store during the night through a.shed at the back. A door wus forced open, ami the dead body of the clerk was found on the floor of his room up stairs. He had lieeu stabbed to the heart, (hi the floor and counters were many packages of dry goods, as if robbery had Ix-en intended, and the money drawers had boon robbed of their

contents.

Such an event occurring in a town of 4,000 inhabitants creates the most intense excitement. Warren was the county seat and the home of the sheriff. That

a g»«i loosing gin oi in. inis nu-t appeared of so little valne to the few cognizant of it that it came out only by accident. At this point there was a split between the sheriff and the detective, and ! it came ulsiut in a singular way. A trump entered the town of Warren and ; gave himself up ns the murderer of | young Yates. He soon satisfied the sheriff that he hud committed the deed, explaining that robtiery was his motive, but little Mr. (-fray smiled and shook his head and pursued his investigations alone. There was no reward or hope of reward, but he followed the case from \ love of the work and a desire to prove 1 that he was correct in his conclusions. He paid a visit to the fannhou.se to ask a few questions. Yates and the girl wore 1 not engaged. She was a country coquette i and had five or six young men on the! string. The two most fnvoml, however, ! were Yates and a young fanner named 1

Lee.

It happened in nearly every instance that these two called at the same time. I The girl admitte I (! it they were not on friendly terms, tin gh no open rupture had taken place.

In one of them ho found such a knife as the doctor agieed was probably used to inflict the stab. Out of a dozen of the samo pattern young Lee had purchased one a year before. A farmer was found who had come upon the two young men on the highway one night ns they wore indulging in a wordy quarrel. At a store in Medina, 12 miles from Warren, it was found that young Lee had purchased a pair of flue bools only three months before the murder. On the night of the murder there was a party at a farmhouse five miles from Warren. Young Lee had appeared early, but had suddenly disap-1 peared for a couple of hours, claiming to have returned home for something. I Next morning the farmer at whose house 1 : the party was given fou » 1 one of his I horses wet and muddy as he stood in the : : stall and was much mystified over tlie ;

had come alone. He was a little man. being not more than 5 feet high, and had made inquiries about a family named Gordon. In his zeal to discover the guilty parties the sheriff jumped to the conclusion that M . Gray we t one of the robbers. He ligr it out that the man had been sent on a. o ad to spy out the store and discover a way to get in and had remained behind to post his confederates on the steps taken to run them down. Many merchants had been roblied and several clerks had lieen grievously assaulted, and the people made a rush tor tlie hotel with a determination to string the stranger up to the limb of

a tree.

“Little Mr. Gray,” as he afterward came to lie called, wus rating his breakfast as the mob rnshed into the dining room in search of him. As the first of the crowd entered he roue up, barked into a corner, and pulling a revolver he calmly asked what was wanted. When

he figured that by being arrested for the | greater crime ho would not be suspected of the other. He had hoard some of the particulars of the crime before giving himself up, and he went on to tell how he pried the bars off the window and

was robbing tlie money drawers when young Yates came down stairs. He told where he threw the knife, but though 50 men searched for it the weapon could not be found. Ho claimed to hnvc got about $28 from the money drawers, and this sum he buried at a certain spot on the highway. When taken out of jail under guard, ho could not identify the spot. It was argued that no man would give himself np to bo hung unless guilty of murder, and the tramp was duly arraigned, examined and held to the higher court. Just at this time little Mr. Gray suddenly disitppeared off the stage, and everybody said he had abandoned the case. He disapi>eared at one end of the line to bob np at the other, however.

Yes; the two young men were rivals in love, but the fanner's daughter testified that nothing approaching a quarrel hail ever occurred to her knowledge. The farmer who hud come upon them anti heard harsh words could not bo sure of their identity. Young Lee had returned home tlie night of the party for money It was raining, and he had taken a horse from the bam without asking leave or referring to the matter later on. A brother and a sister swore that they talked with him at home, and tlie brother handed him some money Money had Ijocii found in the barn and a knife in the shed. A tramp could have secreted the articles where found Young Lse never owned such a knife. He had looked at one in a store, bnt the merchant was mistaken in swearing that he had purchased it. The defendant did own a pair of fine boots, anil the detective had the exact measurement of them, but was not the country fnll of No. 8 calfskin boots? It was a trial lasting a good many days. It was a fight for life, and every inch of ground was contested. Little Mr. Gray was busy night and day, bnt Lee made such a defense that everybody looked for a verdict of “not guilty. ” Just as the case was nearing its end the state got to introduce new testimony. It was mute testimony, but stronger than any man’s oath. When little Mr. Gray looked over the ground the morning after the murder, he found certain tracks in the mud which he covered over. Later on he took ca-'ts of them in plaster of paris. These casts were placed beside others taken from the feet of the farmer’s horse, and lo, they were exactly alike I The man who pried the bars off the window had removed his coat. Two letters had fallen from a pocket—both addressed to young Lee from the girl he was courting. Bnt the clincher appeared a mere trifle when put in evidence. It was a bit of cloth torn from a pair of trousers on a nail in the window. When young Lee was arrested, his clothing had been gathered up, and here before the jury were the trousers from which the bit of cloth had been torn. The defense could not dodge nor break this bit of evidence, and as they vainly sought to the prisoner weakened and soon made a full confession. In that confession lie said ho had got in the store without awakening Yates, crept up to his bed ;uid aroused him, and when the clerk re fused to discontinue his visits to tin farmer's and attempted to get out of bed he had lieen stabbed to the heart. He was pronounced guilty and sentence jrtt be hung, bnt the governor changed it t< life imprisonment, and'he is still living within the walls of a prison. On the day the prisoner was sentenced a mob oi men who believed in his innocence started out to find and lynch little Mr. Gray, but he had quietly disappeared to be heard of no more.

In an old funning mill in the barn he found a hag of money, just the amount Merchant Shields had lieen robbed of. On a beam in the wagon shed, where no one bnt a detective would have looked for it, he found the knife with which young Yates had boon stabbed. Had the money been scattered broadcast or buried and the knife disposed of he would have had his work for

nothing.

When little Mr. Gray was all ready, he laid his case before the prosecuting attorney, and young Lee was arrested for the murder of Y sites. Then began a fight which divided the county and was farreachiug in its results. While the tramp persisted that he was the murderer, the detective was not 16 minutes in proving him a liar when he got at it. The man was caught np on a dozen dif-

called for tlio sheriff, a circuit court I judge and two or three other prominent men and held a confer nice with them. In other words, ho gave them proofs that ho was a detective who had been given leave of absence, and that he was in Warren with the object of hunting up a distant relative. Half iui hour later he

was in charge of the case.

After the body of the clerk had been viewed and removed from the store the detective was turned loose, as it were There was an alley in roar of the store, mid it had rained nearly all the previous night The sheriff insisted that there were several robbers, and that they had I come with a team. Little Mr. Gray simply walked through the alley, failed to And the traces of horses or wagon and declared that no gang had visited the place. The person or persons who visited the store IiimI pried off two wooden bars. The detective fotuid his muddy tracks in the shed, carefully measured them and followed them into the store and up stairs. Ho made out that only one man had visited the store. Two of the wooden bars had boon pried clear off and tlie third started at the top. Little Mr. Gray said that the work had been done by a left handl'd man. When he had carefully inspected five or six of the boot marks, i he said they were made by a pair of fim< | boots. He looked over the goods scattered on counters and floor and smiled. The ' person who threw them down had work- I ed haphazard. Silks worth $2 per yard I had been thing down with the cheapest calico and cotton cloth. The goods haF

lieen flung down to deceive.

When all tlie goods had bt'oti picked up, the merchant found that lie had sus- 1 taiued no loss. Murder had not been j done for the sake of robbery. This sim ; pliflod the case for little Mr. Gray, but | made it a greater puzzle to the sheriff ' and his deputies. Death hod been inflict- ! ed by a stab from a jackknife. The doe I tor and the detective agreed that it was a large, long bladed knife, such ns is used by farmers. Being sure of his case up to this point, the detective began inquiring into the character and habits of the victim. Everybody said he was a young man without an enemy, and when a dozen or more had said this in succession little Mr. Gray’s face wore a peculiar smile. There seemed no point for Him to catch oti to, but he went buzzing about like a bee in search of food, speaking to this one and that one, and by and by it was discovered that the clerk sometimes spent Sunday afternoon at a farmhouse three miles away. The attraction there was tlie farmer's daughter—
