It was on tho Pacific express that tho hor rors took place. The day coaches in the front part of this traiu were telescoped and burned, aud of the twenty-six human corpses recovered conjectures only can bo mado as to tho identity of six.

A special to The Sentlucl from Washington, Iud says: At last tho guilty murderers ot tho W ratten family arc in tho tolla of tho law. Flvu of tho suspects arretted nnd taken to JclTcr sonvlllo two weeks ago wero rightly bus pectcd, but It was not through them that tho hideous crlmiuals weic exposed. Last Saturday thegtaud jury ordered tho nr rest ot James Stone, the man who camoto the ratten house early Tuesday morn ing nnd first discovered tho terrible trag edy. His an est was caused through his own wife, who appeared before the grand jury and testlltcd that Stone nrosu in tho night and complained of a violent tooth acho and hi 1.1 that, ho was going to a den tist to have it abstracted; that hu did not return until a lato hour, and then being covered with blood ho asked for n chnngc of clothes; thatStouu maintained that tho blood on his clothes was caused by tho bleeding of his tooth. Thero Wrro Seven In tho (lanp;. On Inquiry it was found that no doctor or dentist had extracted a tooth for Stone. Tills was deemed strong evidence, espec ially when coming from tho mnn's wife. Au booh as Stone was brought to town tho grand jury went to work to obtain n con fession from him. At first ho strenuously denied everything, but being assured that clemency would bo granted to him if ho mado a confession, ho at last yielded to their overtures, lio told his otory about as follows: Knowing that Mrs. W ratten kept a grent deal of money about the houso Grandlson Cosby, n notorious char acter in this county, planned tho robbery.

Thu plan was that Yurbcr nud Clark should get into tho house and commit tho robbery while thu othoru were to stand guard. At the tlmo when tho robbery was to bo committed Cosby nud Stonu had not yet arrived. Cosby was iu tho city Monday evening and was so uruuk that ho got past going, and did not reach tho houso at all, but Stono arrived aftor tho murder had becu committed nnd because ho was late tho other conspirators wal lowed him in thu blood ot the v.ctims nud in that condition permitted him to g home, nnd that was the nail that fastened down tho lid ot their coflins. Did Not (let a Cent or Money. They could not find a cent ottho money. As Stono did not nrrivo until the six mur ders wero committed ho docs not know why they killed the Wratten family. All tho criminals hnvo beon arrested nud taken to Jeffersonville. Williams and Kaycs woru already in Jeffersonvlllo prison.
