1 THE CRIME CONFESSED. The Mystery Surrounding, the Murderer Or." Talbott at Last Cleared Away. Charles E. Talbott, the Younger Brother or the Confesses the Dla bollcal Deed. The Document Sworn to by the Boys Printed In Full Below.for Our Readers.

(Prm the St. Joscpu tituettc, AVclnc.Jny.l The mystery surrounding I ho death of Dr. Talbott has at last been cleared up, us all who studied tho ease closely be lieved It would some tlmo bo. It has been done, too, by tho boys themselves, mid In a manner that leares but little doubt as to Its cntlro accuracy. Yes torday afternoon Charles E.

Talbott madu a confession, in which ho admits that he killed his father, but assorts that it was done to protect Ins mother from Indignities heaped upon her by Dr. Talbott. This confession was written out and sworn to by Charles as being correct, Cireult Clerk Cowan nilininls-toring tho oath. A statement was made by Albert P. Talbott, also published below, corroborating what his younger brother had said: CONFESSION' Of CIIAHI.KS TAI.I10TT.

I have concluded to tell nil about tho kllllnirof Dr. Ponv II. Talbott. on thu nluht of tho 18th of Senteinber last. I llrod the fatal shot that sent him to his I iieatn.

i tun it under the following cir cumstances Dr. Talbott returned from the fair at Maryvillo about dusk on thu ovenlng of tho 18th of September, 1880. Ho came In a caniiigo with his children. Mrs. Talbott, my mother camo to Arko on tho train, which Is near our home.

I have heard that Dr. Talbott and Talbott bad a quarrel on tliu fairground bcfoio starting, but of this I know nothing personally When the doctor arrived home theru was a call for him to go to J.ightly's to attend a sick child. Ho ordered tho boys (lis ho called iw) to put up his tcsMi and bring out his saddlo mule. This we did and he rodo nway. About 0 o'clock, p.

m. as thuv cay, ho returned. I and Henry Wyatt had retired to bed in an upstair room. Shortly wu heard mothm-crvIiiirfiii-luOii and wo ran downstairs and entered thu room where they woro. Thu sluht that I then beheld appallud me.

Mother was lying on thu floor front of the father was kicking her. How thev got down I cannot tell, but when Henry Wvatt and I entered tho room father called for his rovolror, which was laying on tho bureau near by, and grabbed tho slmt-gitu and shot him in Tin: hack. Just alter firing tho shot mv brother Albert camo In from tho barn, where ho had been hs they say to put away tho mules, and he assisted father to tho bed. Henry Wyatt had nothing to do with tho killing and went out of tho room. Dr.

Talbott then called lis to thu bed and told us that tho shot was fatal and ho must soon die that ho wanted to forgive and he forgiven. Ho briefly recounted the family troubles, nndtold us that wo must deny all Ho wanted thu public to think that tho national banks and public corporations had hin an to kill him, becnuso of his denunciation of them in some of his speeches. Ho urged us to obey Instructions and keep suspicion off of thu family. This course have pursued until HEATH STAKED US IN THE FACE. Ho urged us to deny nil and Hand cm his denial, assaying us that It would carry us through that to make our do-fencc sure ho would make his will and make us all equal distributees of his property and make mother tho execu trix of his will.

Father was at tlmus very cruel to mother and to his children was a man of desporato tompor with whom no ono could reason. I have withheld this statement, willing to undergo any punishment rather than expose tho faults of my father, or let the world know that I had killed him to to urotoct mv mother. Simnlulon snon centered upon tho family and wo were nrrested upon tho oath of J. V. 'Brighton.

'Much has been said and the'eeii- suro of tho public was terrible. What my brother and I have said has been lnagnllicil and construed utrainst, Mitchell and Urightou have falsified irom beginning, if I MUST 00 TO MV (HIAVE nt tho lianas of tho oxcuutioncr I shall i no declaiming that both of them havu commuted nerhirv. llenrv Wvutt vvo-i so frightened by' being nvicstod that ho did not know what to do, and swore. sunnosc. to what Ins attorney told him lie, weak-minded and not responsible Sherman' Shlnnobarger told tho truth lib was atouv houso when Albert and I woro slues of lead in an an gnr holo nnd saw us shoot ono of them in.

a mis, however was a common occurrence' Father's houso had been and was for years an arsenal. We had taught to 'shoot from early childhood, and learned how to mniihl thu thn slugs of lead by father himself. Ho formerly hunted deer and used thoso largo slugs of lead for that purpose. Tho fendo posts and boards about tho place aro perforated with lead whleh is the result of us and fathor at Unit; shoot-Ing at marks. I did, not hear father to tell Albert to take tho gun and run out of tho house and shoot as though ha saw some ono running away, but Alborthas always told mo that ho did.

I havo now told all that I know about this SAD HOMICIDE, which has blighted tho futuro of tho children of Dr. Talbott; whleh brought ruin and disgrace upon mo, mid If what I did is inurdor, I am guilty. Subscribed and sworn to bofnro mo, in thn jail of Duchanan county, this 6th day of July, 1881. I Ciiaui.es Kdwaiid Talbott. Sworn to beforo S.

JosKfii, July 5. I havo carefully examined tho statement or cwtlfossiori of my brother, Chafles'KdWard Talbott. As to what occurred in tho house on tho night of tho' 18th, of during iny' nh-sencc, I of, courso do pot know only ns Edward has told mo. I do know, however, whit fathor said. Ie wanted sus- plclon kept from tho family, and ho told we after I had assisted him to tho bed take tho gun out and shout at any ono I cbi id soo about tho promises, and.

to shoot 'ny. way. obeyed his order. Ho over' family troubles and tofdau to deny any'kriowledgb of how lie was shot oxeopt that ho was shot by an assassin through tho window. Tho window glass whore it has boon claimed ttjl) cavciu through was knocked out by me with tho brc2h of the shot gnn in tho presence of father nnd by his direction.

I huvo denied everything for my brother Kdward's sake, tutd uvon swore before tho coroner's Inquest to that whleh I know to ho false. I wns willing to do anything help him out mid 1 1 -ling to oven dio with hlni us long us hu preferred to keep It secret, but he has cuucludud to confess, and nil that part of lit stutcmcmt of which hare per sonal kiiowieugo is truu. Al.llKttT P. Tai.iiott. WE CELEBRATED.

How tho Fourth Was Celobratcd In Molt County. At Oily. Tho lOMh anniversary of our Inde pendence was celebrated in a grand manner by tho people of Mound City and upper Holt, at this city, lo say tmi crowd was largo would not express it strong enough hut when wo say It was simply Immense, wo bellovo It would bo nearer correct. Wo do not bellovo that In tho hlstoiyof Holt county, larger crowd of people wns over known to be congregated at any one place In a single day. Tliuro wero fully seven thousand peoplo there nearly half the population of Holt county.

Wo did not see a slnglo Individual Intoxicated; not a single row or disturbance of any kind orclmrawtori not even runaway or smash-un. Peo ple i om nil over Holt wore thoro for ono common purpose to eo'ebrate, not only the glot Ions old Fourth of July, but also to Jollify over tho failure of thu red handed ttsnsiii to take from us our pure and noblu President. The various committees in whoso nanus the arrangements for tho celebration certainly did their work nobly; for throughout thu entire program every thing wa carried out to thu letter, with but one exception, General Craig failed to make his appearance. Every citizen seemed determined to mako tho day ono long to bo ronionibered by thoso present. It will doubtless bo stamped nJelllbly upon their momory, never to bo oi used from its shrine.

the of tlio day opened at stiu-rlso with thu ual cannonading and ringing of bells, and at ten o'clock precisely, thu grand Marshal, J. II. Hart, and his assistant, formed the procession, which was tho largest wo have over witnessed in thu county. Thoro wero fully two hundred teams nnd horsemen In lino, Including the floats used for the industrial display by the oiiergetio business men of Iho city. Tho lino was headed by tho Mound City Hand, after which camo the National Chariot upon which woro seated children representing THE UNION, all of whom were neatly and tastefully attired, bearing upon their heads a neat cap upon whleh was printed tho name ot tho Statu, and was as follows: lioddess of Liberty bnvlo Carson.

Ill another column of this paper, over the noiii-do-plulnoof will, bo found nn nrttolu in auswor to our editorial on "Tompcranco Hu-form" few weeks ago. lly Its lono wo can plainly sou that tho rlter Invites us into it friendly discussion of tho tuni-pcranco imestloii, hut, we will statu right hero that wu decline all such Invitation for nnything that wo might say for or against tompoinnce would only bo a reiteration of what has been said.

The toinperiihuequestttou has beuii ajjilated so much in this community that any further discussion of this much vexed question would only bo stain news to our leaders. Wo will, however, inako a few remarks in defence of what we said a few weeks ago It Is but giving expression to a common conviction when wu atllrni that InlemperanceN one of thu greatest evils of modern times; but to eradicate this uvll tioin society Is the (ittcsllotl beforo us. It has been pivfn thai prohibition will not n. stop tho sale of intoxicating liquors. Why the majority of peoplo think tho law toostilet, Intolerant and unconstitutional.

Suppoo you make a law making Itnoilino to eat watermelons, do you think you could get a Jury of twelve men that would punish a iiiaii If hu break this law? Or yon might niakua law, declaring It a crinui pun-ishablu by life iniptl'ounient to steal chickens, but how many chicken thieves would you convict? In tho Statu of Kansis, where prohibition i I lias been a law t-ineo May 1st, thatState has paid out nearly for prose cutions, and wo have heard of only two convietioiH. You cannot conniatv I yu could hardly say the concert was Imv governing crnno with that which success without itiontlonlng tho ipiar-goveins prolilliiiion. lu fact all liberal- t0tte, by Miss Kate Evans and Lou Ar- minded, free-thinking men do not regard iutcinperancu a crime they only look upon it as a sort of evil. Lveu (Sow St. John must have lost laith in prohibition, for on thu loth of Apiil, two weeks beforu the prohibition law went into effect hu madu a crnor of that Stale." Hut In Topoka, thu homo ot thuCovurnor, and thu Statu Capital, theru are over thirty grog-shops in fp' blast and openly selling liquor sc en tlays a week; and in all ulties anil in overy community where the public suntinicnlisagaiiibt iirohibitlon, tho law is openly Ignored.

In Atchison, Leavenworth, Topckn, Abilene, Wichita and Doilgo City tlio municipal authorities havu granted thu saloon keepers licenses, nml still St. John sius "(iov-crnor" to Ids namu. Wo only statetl our idea as p. veinoiiy for intemperance a few wueks previous, and did not suppose that any ouu would take exceptions to It. "Humanity" may bo xlncoru In his convictions, and may know how the world ought to bo run, but ho don't seem to uuderi-taiid how it i.i run.

You cannot force au American citizen to believe as you do; and as long as you use your porcuasivo powers hu will be your sympathizing friend, but undertake lo compel htm and he will bo your life-long ene my. Prohibition litis greatly affected the material Ititcrei-ts of Kansas; it has turned peaceful villages into chaos and strife, and even good and frlendlv neigh bors have beomu bitter eiiemius over the matter. Place any law upon thu statute book whleh any given commu nity beliuvos wrong, and that is all tho good it will do. This was notoriously iho case with tho fugitive slave law. It was an undisputed law of the land.

Hut all over tho North, and conspicuously in thu prohibition states, thoauth.irttie.s and tlio peoplo repudiated and nullllled it. As it stauds at nrosont It Is thu tem per of nny given community which permits or refuses to permit tiio sulo of intoNlcatlng liquor. Where there Is a popular sentiment approving prohibl lion tho saloons must elosO, Where sucli a sontlniuiit does not exist, liquor will eontiniiu to bb sold, and all thu juries which a grand jury anil public prosecutor can call together, will bo as iuoU'eetual for conviction ns thu efforts of tho czar to crush out Nihilism lu ltus sia.

Thu entertainment was fully up to, If not ahead of thoo formerly given here, nml I ho participants exhibited wonderful mlvaneoincitt In their training. Tho concei opened with a chorus by thu class, which seemed to us to lack both training and underclauilliig. Thu piano duet by Mrs. Sehtilto and Miss Lou Arhold was rendered with general aecttiacy.

The duet bv little I.oniillohlltzoll ami Pearl Bennett Contributed much toward making thu evcrlng a musical success. Miss Maggie Schntz performed pi ano solo i om Wily vury happily. Life's Dream Is O'er," a duet, was rendered by MNs lllaneho Howell and Will Huffman, which was well received by the audience.

Neltto Nies and Woody McMtirray played a piano duet In a very acceptable manner, and spoku very forelb'y that thoy learned their lessons well. Mid Summer Night's Dream was well performed as a piano solo, by Miss Delia Davis.

Mrs Fiiuulo l'rnnio sang Sing, Sweet lJIrd." Her voleo never sounded purer, sweetor, or stronger. Miss L'arriu Hill, in rendering the piano solo, Illrd of Paradise," excelled and deservos the highest praise for nor excellence of playing. Miss lllaneho Howell's, voice, which lias a peculiar ling of sweetness about It, was heard to great advantage In her singing of Waiting," a solo by Millard, and whluh Is woll adapted to her voice. Miss lllaneho was encored and received lloral tokens of appreciation. Hero is grand mezzo toprauo voice; may it not be ruined by that old and familiar order of, sing lou.1, sing high."
