men gathered ubout the jail. Ho told them
that the prisoners WLTO m his charge as an

that if they would _ go away , ho would take
the prisoners away in the day time , and would

northeast of the house. Woton'a horses wore
tied to the > amo ttec , andStnytteV to another.
Wo ( topped there a while acd laid plans as to
how we should proceed. Wilaon took a rope

a'l ' went inside , atd they
went tn the bed and pulled father out , fathur
said ; "Cicero is that you , " nobody atiswi-ied ,
mother said , "no It is that John Smythe , "
They then brought him to thu front loom abd
choked and smothered him , aud took the rope
out of my hands and put it on fathers neck.
Mother struck a match to light the lamp , ami
I blow It out. She came into the front room
and tcrcamcd. Father told her to holler for
Davy 1'etty , and told her to pet a club aud
knock thorn down. Wilson told her to thut
up and mtiko no nolee. auk she would not be
hurt. No one of iu but Wilson spoke.
Father bogged of ua not to hurt him. uuu said
"Don't , John , pliaso don't butt me , "
Wo haU the rope on him and statUd put
doors with him , and went northeast , dragging
him along by the nock. I had hold ol the oiul
of the rope , and Smytho and Wilson \\ere
behind , Smyths on the north side , aud Wil

were dragging him along pi mid , "Don'c
John , dout'c hmt me so. " Wilsju stopped
and tightened the rope , and John auu I
pulled him nlong. When wo got to the tree
Smytho threw ouo end of the rope over a

it c car from the ground. Wnen
wo got him up wo tied his
hands behind him. and wound the
rope around the body , but I don't know just
how , I think he was about dead then , i.s ho
only kicked once or twice when wo got him
up. Wilson tore father'a shirt open and tied
it over his head. The ehiit was the only
clothing he had on. Wo stood a few minutes
and Smytho and Wilson put on their over

them and redo elf coutheast , then south
across the river , then south through the town

took n northeasterly course for home.
When wo got to John Smythe's house he
stopped there and wo rode on to Wilson's , two
luiiui further east. Wo arrived at Wilson's

It was quitn daylight. We murdered tatner

Wilaon carrioi the rope down Friday night
and tied it to the horn of his s\ddle. They hud
bean talking to me about hanging
father for about a wo k or ten
days , but I objected and did not want to help

we agreed to go that night. After they told
me they would make away with mo after they

History of tlio .leiTersoii Murder.
lis MOINKH , February 4. The history c
the Jclfeibon murder ii as follows : About ttv
o'clock on the morning of April 20 , I SSI , en
of the moat brutal outrages in the history <
western Iowa occurred at a point three milt
southeast of Audubon. Hiram Jefferson , a
old man , was tbo victim. Ho had reside
there eighteen years with his family , reniov Ir
from PitUfield , III. He had raiued a fauiil
of ono boy and five girls. About three yea
previous ID the crime , John Smythe , fro :
( iteeu county , married ono of the girls. I :
wan a rough , drinking character , and sot
made trouble , arraying the mother aud tl
children fgaicet the father. Ho accused tl
old man with Incest with one of the girls , at
threats were then made t
Smythe an 1 other * against Jelferso
rtmythe moved to Carrel county and induct
the old man'i son , Cicero , and bU daught
l.uoy to go with him. The old mm Jelfcrsc
wan a cripple and not strong mentally , bi
atrictly honest in all his dealings , and u kit
husband and father. Cicero and Smytbo '
harraisod him that at tliuej h bad btcu pa
tlMlv iiitaue.
On the morning of the murder three bore
men rode up to the house whore .Jefferson ai
wife were living alone , and boisterously o
tared the bed-room wiere the agoJ coup
were-sleeplog. The wife at tha Inaueat eai
it was too dark to recognize who tiiey wer
She ajked what was wanted , A touf
voice told her to kesp stil
The old man Mid , "What a
are you here for , Cicero ! " She exclaimed , "
la not Cicero , it is John Rmytho. " Thu o
man w s dragged from his bad to the flee
bit vif alio falling oat. Jefferson cried I
help but the murderers pat ajropo around 1
ucclc , pulled hit tLJrt pvrr hj ( head , tbf
drugged htm by the rope 340 foot to a maple
tree , threw the rope over ft limb about eight
feet from the ground and drew him up , pin-
onlng his arm ? . They then lott him , mounted
their hones and rode away. The old lady
started for the neighbors to glvo the alarm ,
when ODD man rode back and told her to keep
quiet or ho would string her up ,
At the itduest the verdict was returned
that Cicero Jefferson , John Smytho and
another party committed the _ deed.
Lucy , who was accused of incest with her
fkthcr , was also implicated , She rmd married
a man named Joe WlUon , In the room where
the deed wai committed there was found a
cap supposed to belong to ono of the murder
ers , nul n handkerchief with n hole cut in it
for eyes. The theriff started itmuodlatrly to
nrrost the Bii'potted parties , and Smythe.
Wilson and Cicero were soon broughe in and
upon being arraigned the tint two atkcd for
couniel When they wpro taken back to jail ,
Cicero , who like Ida fatl.fr wai somewhat
weak minded , atkfld petmlfslon to make a
confession under oath. Ho then detailed all
the incidents of the crirnn from thn tlmn
Sinjtho , Wilton aud himself left Wilson's
homo on horseback , how they stopped and com
pleted thair plans before entering the home ,
what was said in the homo , how the rope wan
put on h's fathrr's neck , ho ( Cicero ) taking
hold of the end , and with Wilson and Smytho
behind him dragged the body along naked
over the frozen nonnd. Wl.llo being hauled
by tbo neck his father spoke , and Wilson
stepped back and tightened the tope more.
The confession says :
"Sinythe put the rope over tha limb while
Wilson llftfd the body up. Smj the and 1
pnll'd tlm body clear of the grouud , and then
wound the rope around the body and left it
Think father was dead whonwe _ left him , as
ho kicked only ouco or twice after being
hauled up. "
Cicero also deta led the InciJonta of the trip
back to Wilson's ; how Sniytho's hat was lost
in the old mnu'g house , and Smythe going
bareheadfd ; how Smytho and Wilson had
threatened to kill him ( Cicero ) if bo didn't CD
with them. He said Wilson planned the
whole irlmo. Cicero had not soon his motlur
sir.co the deed wai committed , but her story
nnd his corresponded exactly. It appeared
bv Cicero's statement that Lucy hod married
Wilson through the Inllucnc- Smytho , the
wedding taking place about two months be
fore the murder.
It seems that Wilson suspected tbat Lucy
had not always bean virtuous. He accused
her and she finally said tlio had been com
pelled by her father to submit to him repo t-
cdly , anil had once been in trouble by him.
This incensed Wilson , and ho said ho would
loitve her or _ kill the old man , She wanted
him to do neither.
The prevailing opinion of neighbors and
others is that Smytho was the
leader in thu commission of the
crime , and that he lhad got the
girls into trouble atd caused them to charge
it to the old man. Smvthe , Wilson and Cicero
were bound over for tiiti , and it was to have
taken place this week , but tbo judge granted
a change of venuo. The people of Audubon
were determined that none of the murdercra
should escape justice. The pcnni'ston for a
change of venue greatly incensed the citizens
aud a triple lynching followed in short order.

WASHINGTON , February . Until within
the past two years it was the practice of the
postoflico popartment to keep the money paid
for unclaimed money orders , without attempt

about two years ago the department issued a
circular instructing postmaster to hunt lip
the'payees , but the traditional policy was
maintained in so far that no attempt to find
the remitters was authorized. Consequently

hat it is the property of cither the remitters

Morrlll moved to lay it acide , in order to take
up the House bill for the letiroiiient and to-
coinage of trade dollar. The bill an amended
by the Senate , nrovldes alfo for tha mupcnsion
of colnneo of the standard silver dollar. The
Senate by n vote of 37 yeas , 23 nays , decielad
to take up tbo last named bill.
Ingalla move-el to strike out the fifth neclion ,
suspending the coinage of the standard silver
dollar , and Merrill then addressed the Senate
on the bill. Ho did not fool that the govern
ment is under lhe > slightest legal or morral
obligation to redeem the trade dollar , and h < <
had with Komo tuluctanco consented to the
measure in order to relieve the country from
at least ono f the embarrassing Inci
dents which surround the silver question.
Ho spoke of the dungcr of silver coin alone
suddenly becoming the standard money of the
United Slntoa , and of the rapid Increase of
silver certificates , which ho charactoiized ns a
ejucer form of paper money , nnd the nwt ex
pensive pipsr currency ever invented. If we
should at any time bo driven to the single
standard of silver , it would be a great disas
ter , affecting the value of all property , and all
investments. The blow would strike with
great severity on the worhingmen of the
country , wiio would suddenly find their wages
largely reduced by a cheap mode of legal ten
der payment.
MoPhereon umniallfidly advocated the
whole bill , including the redemption of the
trade dollar nt its face value.
Bock said the bill as reported was not by
any moans the unanimous opinion of the
finance committee. The measure will como
up as unfinished business to-morrow.

May wheat told up to 8IJc , and clcsed firm at
the highest point. The opening \VM jo higher
at 83JJC and the shorts had to hustle arounel
li\ely to save themselves. The crowd in the
pit seemed to have formed itself Into n sort of
mutual protective association , for nobody
seemed anxious to do more than to take
every possible precaution to prevent loss , The
principal causes for the advance were minors
of war in F.uropo nnd weather scarce , The
weather scarce consisted in fears of damage to
the winter wheat crops owinp to largo tractu
of land being reported covered with water anel
liable to freeze- , and do any amount of damago. i
A good portion of the southwestern portion of
the wheat growing part of tlio country wan
reported under water. Other causes of
strength were advices from Now York that
exporters were taking moro to cash wheat ,
and the report that I'mland had mobilized
20,000 troops for use in ligypt. The close atone
ono o'clock was strong at outside figures.
To-morrow's receipts are estimated at 110
cars and influenced by the strength of the
wheat market.

confined to the limits. Cash quotationa were

done except in futures. At the close of the
morning session was about steady. On after
