There is a great deal of curiosity to know how "Coal Oil Johnny," who was tnurdercd be'e Friday, woiked his lottery and tooth p»ste business. The trick so it is said, waa in the buggy.

Mai iw Lytle Arrested To-day on Complaint of C. S. BalL

s-.

From Wednesday's Dally!'

Corwin S. Ball, who has been a bookagent, and who lives out in the northeast part of town, this morning filed an affidavit with Justice Leckman, against Matthew Lytle, charging that on the 15th day of September, 1880, nearly three years ago, he committed rape on the person of his (.lall's) step-daughter, Rosa Williams, now eleven years old, and at the time of the alleged assualt of the age of eight.

The parties are neighbors. The story as told by the girl is that her mother sent her over to the Lytle's for a pair of scissors on the day mentioned and that the young man dragged her into the stable and outraged her that on the following day in going for an axe he repeated the offense and on the next day, making the third time, when she went after an axe again, he outraged her for the third time in the same manner. Mrs. Ball, who is the girl's mother, says she told her of the occurrence the night after it occured. The Prosecutor filed a complaint with some reluctance, as the story did not impress hiin with being very probable.

Constable McCabe arrested young Lytle at bis home in the northeast part ol town. He is an intelligent young man, of good appearance, having only recently graduated from the High School. He denies the affair in the most positive manner, and says the affair is nothing but the outgrowth of trouble between the two families. Only recently Ball bad his tather arrested for provoke or some such similar charge, and wound up by landing in jail himself. BHII was only recently released on bail. Young Lytle says there is nothing in the case but spite work. The statute of limitation bars the case out, anyway.

The mother of the girl said some one had been getting into Rosa's room lately and staying over night with her. The queer part of tbe matter is the tact that nothing has been said of the case uotil now, nearly tbree years after it is supposed to have occured.

Lawson, respectively from Green and Clay countits, who were tied together in the 'Squire's office. The third case was John D. Callahan and Bettie Landry, otherwise and better known as Cora Lee, who were married about 6 o'clock last evening at the latters house on the corner ot Second and Oak. It can be truly said that Justice Murphy did good woik for his country yesterday.

The following are extracts from tbe last number of the Clinton Herald in which Mont. L. Casey flaggellates Nixie Yeargin: "We do not like to use our space, in re ply to such articles as appeared in the Oakland Ledger of last week, and right here, we promise you that in speaking of the dirty little skunk, we shall be as brief as possible. In referring to him,some time ago, we never so far lorgot oureelf as to refer to the misfortunes of any of his relatives, we considered them out of the fight, but like the black hearted coward, which he is, he used a column to portray a sad misfortune of one ot our nearest relatives, who is as far above him as the golden paved streets of Heavea »re above the fiery lanes of Hades. We have the same opportunity, but his relatives have never harmed us, so we shall throw the veil of human charity over their misfortunes and let them pass unnoticed by us. It is true that we have trespassed upon tbe laws of the land, but we have honorably appeased the anger of tbe law. Can tbe libertine of the Oakland Ledger, Nixie Yeargin say as much? No. He can't even truthfully say that he has fulfilled his promise to pay the boy who stole the black check out of the Oakland bank, to enable him to write a false check, to send in payment for a suit of clothes he had ordered shipped from New York. You know there wab along time that Nixie was not allowed inside the Oakland bank. It would be folly for us to assert that we have always been strictly temperate, but thank the Lord we have never sat up in company and boasted of our old father keeping a barrel in the cellar. We could tell of many mean things «f this little flunky— we do not like te waste the space. Personal abuse is no argument against a cur who has already sunk to the lowest depths in the slimy slums of wickedness and debauchery. Yeargin is the embodiment of all that is mean, dishonest cantankerous contemptible and corrupt, be is the top crust of iniquity he is the but-cut ot vulgarity: he is a running sore on the back ot third class society he is a journalistic renegade, devoid of brains—he is too short from the eyes up—his only oarthly poss essions being a preponderous gall and an illuminous neck tie. Hades itself nfight belch forth its long row of anointed damned, reinforce the army with all that is dishonest, mean and diseased, and atnong tbem all, one could not be found that was not possessed of too much selfrespect to be found in company with such a mock human, society serpent and •en'emous vagabeni as Yeargin of the Oakland Ledger.

Editor GAZETTE: It is possible, but not probable, that tbe Cadets will participate in tbe encampment at Indianapolis next month. The company has not yet commenced to drill lor it, and at this late day it is not likely that tbey will, owing to a lack of interest iu tbe captain and a few of the members. It is only a question of time till it will disband, unless there is more interest taken by the citizens and some of the members.

It is acknowledged everywhere that the Cadets are tbe best drilled company in tbe state and one ot the best in the country, and it would indeed be a shame were ttey allowed to disband without an effort on the part of our citizens to prevent it.

C«al

Sadie Hall is a woman of probably less than thirty years. She is a decided beauty of the brunette type pale complexion, black hair and eyes and a neat and elegant dresser. She has a wicked temper and in this respect was not behind her husband. She is the daughter of a woman known as Mrs Thomas, who has kept a house of prosti tutiod in this city for many years. Af present she is running such a place at No. 18 McFarland street. The same house was in charge of her daughter some two years ago. Mrs. Thomas re ceived a dispatch from her daughter's attorney yesterday afternoon and left for Terre Haute last night, itorn and raised in a hot-bed of crime, Sadie Hall a.. excitable temperament met only v. with stimulants. She and heir husband—for doubtless they were really married, although he denied it at times—had frequent bitter quarrels aud occasional separations. Twice, it is said, he attempted to kill her, and'not very long ago she heard one night that he was in company with another woman in Kate Riley's Long worth street place, and arming herselt with a revolver, she besieged the establishment, firing bullets through the plate-glass windows. The wars of John and Sadie Hall have been a fruitful theme of discussion among police reporters and police, and frequent have been the prophecies that one ot them would some time£111 the other.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The doubts as to whether John and Sadie Hall were lawfully wedded were dispelled yesterday by 'Squire Gilligan, who stated that he married them about four years aeo He remembers the event as it it occurred but yesterday. At the time they appeared to be a very loving couple, and he re marked the woman's pretty face, sparkling eyes and interesting manners. When Coal Oil Johnny called to arrange for the marriage he planked down a ten dollar bill, and when he received his certificate he gave the magistrate another bill.

Inquiries yesterday developed that Sadie was not over twenty-five years of age. In 1S67, when Mrs. Thomas' house, on tbe north side of Fifth street, west of Sycamore, was raided and Bill Jordan, the counterfeiter, found therein. Sadie was just nine years old. At that time she and her sister Jennie were arrested with the rest, but remained in the lock-up only over night.

Jennie, who is now leading a life ot shame in New York, was then about sixteen. Bill Jordan was the man of Mrs. Thomas, and he waa sent to the pen itentiary for dealing in the queer. Twice Coal Oil and his wife were separated for gome time, and tor awhile she was with relatives in Indiana.

Her child, whose father is said to be a well known young man in the city, was always treated by John as if it was hi^ own. When Hall attempted to kill his wife in the Longworth street house about two years ago, the bullet narrowly missed striking Mrs. Thomas, who was sitting in the room.

It appears tbat when Hall first met Sadie ber mother kept on Vine streetjust above

Ninth. It is said

she

with him

on

was smitten

first sight and the third day

after their meeting she was out on the street looking for him. Although both were very jealous of each other she was the worst by far.

The general opinion is that Sadie never meant to kill Hall. Seeing his revolver handy on the bureau, she seized it, probably with a sudden impulse, and with the idea of making a bluff before the two women present. l'he sporting fraternity in general say Coal-Oil Johnny was a pretty clever fellow, in spite of his crooked business. Still he would beat his best friend.

Oil Jahany an* Hie 'Wife.

From tbe Cincinnati Commercial Gautte. The news from Terre Haute that "Goal Oil Johnny," alias John Hall, has fallen a victim to a pistol in tbe hands of his handsome and jealous fe, will be re ceived with sensational interest here in the circles to which this notorious couple were known. Hall was one ot the slickest tricksters who ever plied his nefarious business in this city, that was' his home tor so many years. His numerous adventures would fill several volumes. No man was belter known to the polioe and none were so shrewd in avoiding conviction. During the reign of bunko in this city, Coal Oil was in high leather, and many were the dupes victimized by his wiles, but he could never keep the money he made so easily. His passion for faro bank would always assert itself when in funds, and he was a terribly "high roller" when playing on the outside with a fat roll. During the adminis tration of police affaira under Chief Car. son, Hall ran a brace game at 167 Race street, when almost every other houso in town was closed. It seemed impossible to shut him off. He was a man of about thirty-seven yea^s of age, genteel in appearance, and of a very smooth and pleasant address. His last exploit in Cincinnati was beating a countryman out of $800, which he lost playing faro bank. As his victim was about to make it hot for him, he left town, accompanied by his wife,for Chicago. There in a skin game he fleeced another party out of $400. Playing this against faro-bank he won $1,700. In the meantime his own brace game was raided by the police and Chicago was too hot for him. From there he went to Terre Haute.

The Testimony Given at the Coroner's Inquest and the Verdict

There was a death in an upper cell of the county jail this morning, but no mourners surrounded the bedside while the life of the unfortunate victim took its departure. The man who went to sleep for the last time in such a place was Andy Litcning. The deceased has been working on the farm of David Huston, about three miles north cl the city. Yesterday he came to town on an errand, presumably, and in the evening in an attempt*to climb over the iron fence surrounding the court house square, near the corner of Second and Main street, his foot slipped causing him to fall with his left side on one of the pickets. He fell to the ground where he lay until aid came to bim. Officers Agar and Buckingham found him and not knowing of any other place to take him ordered the patrol wagon and conveycd him to jail. Tho man was suffering intense pam, though the iron picset did not pierce through his skin.

Dr. Geo. Crapo vas summoned and saw the man before he was taken out of the wagon. He was carried into the jail ana placed in a cell on a cot. He liued until this morning at a quarter to seven when he died.

The fact in the case are given in the following testimony produced at the coroner's inquest which was held 8t the jail this morning.

A. M. BUCKINGHAM

testified as follows. I am deputy marshal of this city. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon I saw the patrol wagon, drive up to the court house park and I went over. The deceased was on the ground on his hand and knees. He was groaning and going as if in great misery. Henry Agar and myself got him on his feet and put him in the patrol wagon when he was taken to jail. I went after Dr. John Crapo but couldn't find him so brought Dr. Geo. Crapo, who saw the man in the wagon.

HARKS' AGAR. 4*1

Harry Agar said he was a police officer and deposed as follows: I was was on the corner of Third and Main street ynsterday afternoon about half past four o'clock and saw a crowd gathered about the square and went over to determine the-cause. The deceased who was there lying on the giound told me that he was trying to get over the fence when his foot slipped causing hiin to fall with his side on the pickets. He wanted some one to kill him. I sent for the patrol wagen and he was taken tn jail and. placed in a cell but not locked upj W

HENRY PRITCHARD.

Turnkey at the iil testified that the,

deceased was brought to the jail yester-

day afternoon about 5 o'clock. He seemed

to be suffering a great deal and wanted some one to kill him out of his misery. He gave his name as Andy Litening. He was put to bed in one of the cells but not locked up as he did not comesaa prisoner. 1 gave him some water but he could not retain it on his stomach. This morning about 4 o'clock, I sent for pr.

A MAN WHO mows HIM.

Geo. W. Shaffer says he has occasion to remember A. F. Tirey, the man who murdered the Marshal of Wellington, Ohio, July 18. About twenty years ago, Tirey lived near him, east of town, by Heinl's nursery. He worked for T. B. Johns, and had the reputation of being a bad man. One night Shaffer's horse was stolen, and the that was traced to Tirey, bv a letter which he dropped in the stable. Tiny was arrested and being confronted with this evidence, acknowledged the deed. Shaffer agreed not to prosecute him, if he would reveal the place where he had disposed of the horse. Tbe horse was lound near Brazil, and Tirey released.
