He w» a polished scholar and An amiabie man, who had but one fault, and that was that he was immoderately proud of his being akin to the most ariaUjcratic families of Virginia, HQ was often laughed nt for his enthusiastic allusiona to the Masons, the Hunters, the Poindexters and before 1 he became generally known in A1 as "Old F. F. V." fn 1886, a son, Frsink, was born to him, and, when the ohiid waaaix weeks old, ne took it to Virginia, to show the young scion to his relatives in Richmond and Fredericksburg.

She added to her startled mends, amid many scalding tears, that Mr, JetJtwrt cousin, one Amos J.

On the third day the news arrived from "Madison that a couple answering the deeerihtien of the Bradford* had been attested in that place, just as they were going to embark on a New Orleans steamer under tjie name of Mr, and Mrs. Barton.

A dejmtv fftierifT started at once for Madiscm, and returned the next day wlfh Bradford and his wife.

Both of them were grttatly dejectcd, but pretested not to kno^v anrthing about tlte remains found in the Wabash river, and pronounced to be those of William Mason Jenners.

But when the two prisoners were hiformed that the authorities of the State Lunatic Asyluuiof Virginia had been requested, by telegraph, to give informato be In

This horrible discovery had made the poor man perfectly crazv, and, after a confeultatiotf with Bradfora, who had suggested that the discovery of the feet wouid be a crushing blow for the children, had. confined Jeu ners. in the half-dark placc in the basement.

Her fist husband's health had grown very bad recently, and a taoaih ago be haa died. They had then sewed up bis remairia in a bag, and Bradford had carried, them to the river in the night time, and thrown them into the water.
