Directly , however , she returned again , and after retiring to her room sent down for a cup of water , saying that she wanted to take i some medicine. The water was sant up Immediately , and that was the last tlmo the unfortunate crcaturo was ever seen nllvo. When first applying for lodgings she said that she expected to go to work Monday. Sunday morning she failed to put In an appearance for breakfast , but no ono thought strange of that , and she was not called. Dinner time came and passed , bat still she remained In her room , About two o'clock the proprietor wont up and knocked on her door , but received no answer ? Ho knocked two or throe times , still everything was eilont. Then ho broke the door in and n startling eight met his eyes. The young woman was there stiff and stark.

THE ATCHISON ATROCITY , More DBYeNpcnts in tbe Hnrder ol Mary Baldwlo , Onmlm DruR Stores Scarohca by two AtohlBon lawyers , to Find \Vhoro tlic 1'olson was Obtained , There has probably not occurred a criminal event , for many years , that has clustered about ] it so many sensational and mysterious features , as that which recently ended , imtimolr , the life of Mies Mary Baldwin , a bright , handsome and Intcllgont young'Jady , at Atcblson , Kan sas. That the foul nad beastly psrpo- trator , will bo brought to the just and awful punishment ho so richly deserves , remains to bo scan. Nothing la bslng loft undone to capture the wanton wretch and when it becomes an absolute cer tainty that the right party has boon caught woe bo unto htm. Shortly after the unfortunate girl had been found dead , her brother was arrested on suiplcion and thrown into jail whore ho still remains. Ho at onca employed as his attorneys the firm of Everest it Wagoner , and thsy Immediately began a thorough Investiga tion into tbo facts and circumstances of the case. The result has boon that with in the past two or three days some very Important developments have been made. Probably a great many people in Omaha remember seeing here within the past a colored man by the name of Noble , who palmed himself off as a professional corn doctor , r.nd wont about from house to honso pretending to prac tice his alleged profession. Bo was re pulsively ugly , and walked with a limp. List Saturday MoesrsEvoroat A. Wcgaor , swcro out a warrant , and had this fellow arrested , on suspicion that ho was the man who murdered Mary Baldwin. It will bo remembered that at the tlmo she was discovered a small vial , whbh had formerly contained poison , wan found hy ing in the bed along side of her body. The laDcl had been partly torn off , but on what remained , parts of three or four words could bo made out. For instance , "form" re mained , showing that the word chloro form had been torn in two , an "on , " be ing formerly a part of the ward poison ; also "ma , " which wan Cither Omaha or pharmacy. Believing that it might have boon the wordJOmaha , au opinlonw&s | at ones arrived at that the poison might have been purchased at some one of the many drug stores in this city. To ascertain whether or not such wau the case Co' ' . Everest and Mr. Gilbert , the prosecuting attorney of Atchlson county came lit re San day morning and made a tour of all the drug storss In the city that day , but were not able to determine that the medicine had been secured here. Ohan. O don , accompanied them In their rounds. The bottle was a very paculiar one long and slim. When shown to the druggists , the answer of ull of them wasVo : have no such a bottle as that In the store " Thh man Noble was known to have bocn in Atchlson about the time Mies Baldwin was murdered. It is also known that Inntoad of being a corn doctor ho Is a professional housebreaker , and uses that doctor bnslnoai as a blind. Ho has already served a term In the penitentiary for chloroforming and robbing a woman. Ho works all the river towns from Omaha to Kansas City , and under the dlsguiso of a doctor , easily obtains poisonous medi cines without any questions balng asked of him. OOUST OHIP3 , Acquitted of ono Crime and Immed iately Arrested Tor Another. 'Before Judge Neville , to-day , the case of Frank Dowd alias Frank Martin , wcs on trial. Martin Is accused of the lar ceny of § 90 worth of goods from Shzlovo , Jarvis & company. The jury retired about 3 o'clock , wore out two hours , aad returned with a verdict of acqnital. This verdict teemed to surprise , not only a largo number of spectators , who had listened to the trial , but oven Jndgo Novlllo. Everyone expected that Dowd would bo convicted. Soon as ho waa re leased. Deputy Sheriff Crowoll nerved another warrant on him , the charge be ing that ho robbed Mis. Dr. Dinsmoro of her jewelry and other valuable property. Ho was again taken to the county jail and locked up. Before Judge Wakcloy the casa of Bal- lou va. Drlscoll , n mcchanio'a lieu caio for lumber furnished , waa on trial.

Well , 1 got down to that Hook , found n beer saloon , waked up the proprietor , and ho said that ho supposed thd fighters would como down o n a tug from Now York.

In law and two or toroo friends , and wo all v/ont down nnd sat on the dock waitlti' for the tug to nppcAr. Tlioy treated mo elegant. I had moro cigars than I could emoko and plenty of booze. The crowd kept gottln' ' bigger and bigger , until all of the hands In the oil works had baen roosted out of bed , There wo eat under the sheds waitln' for the tug , until the whlstlo blow for work. Then them oil hands rosofts cno man and went for yonM truly. 1 was slung oil' tha dock into the water snd polled with everything thorn oil hands could got hold of until I cam up on the windward side of the schooner which was driftin1 by , aud there by got out of rango.
