After the burial the friends in talking over -the circumstances connected with her death and burial, and recalling the fact that no one eyer was permitted to view the remains biit in the presence of Shue who always took his place at the head ofn the corpse, and when 6he was placed in the coffin, he had a sheet folded and placed along side of her head and some garment placed on the other side, and her mother stating that her daughter had appeared and talked to her, her parents were not satisfied as to the cause of her death. So after consultation it was decided to exhume the body, which was just one month from the time of its burial. SOME REMARKABLE EVIDENCE. Here comes the most remarkable part of the evidence introduced by defendants counsel: Mrs. Heaster, pother of the deceased, who seemed a very pi-ou8 ladyj had told all she, knew about her daughters death and burial and defendants conduct on the night of the wake.

Counsel for the defendant said to Mrs. Heaster did you not have a drean that roused your suspicious and led you to andire- not, and h6 said. "I there many times, and not describe the place and accurately as The attorney then said: Mrs. Heaster, was there not something about a sheet that you could not understand?" And she replied: was. She said that was leaving from the burial for home, she called his nttentioA to the sheet that had been under side of her head in the coffin and he said, -mother, you keep I kept it for 3 or 4 weeks anc while it looked clean and white imagined it smelled badly and concluded to wash it.

washec it with my white clothed anci when I pressed it -down in the tub it turned red, and I concluded I had spoiled my otherxlothes but when I dipped up water in my hand the water was not' col ored. I washed it and boiled it and hung it out and froze it three or four days, but it still had a reddish color." -Counsel says, Have you that sheet with you(. She replied that she had it at her boarding house, The sheet was brought in and exhibited to thajury, and it was decidely a reddish color. When the body was taken tip and a post mortam examination made it was found that her neck had been dislocated, which un is all true as stated A Weird Story a Remarkable Crime. 1 On the 22nd day of January, 1897, Trout Shue, murdered his wife at his home- near Livesay's Mill, in Greenbrier county.

The murdered woman was a daughter Mr. and Mrs. Hedges Boaster, poor uneducated country people, whdtlived at the foot of Little Sewell Mountain. Zona Heaster the third wife, it is stated, was the third one he had murdered. Sbue was a rare type brute criminal and had so successfully covered up the evidence his guilt former cases as to avoid detectioiu.thougliJiot.su He' was arrested and convicted of the murder of his 'third wife upo the testimony of mother in law, every detail which was found to corres pond with the facts disclosed Jyy the post mortem.

Shue was sentenced to the penitentiary for life and died there: We will state that we know well the mother Of the murdered girl that she is an innocent, tlioioughly credulous old woman, and that we believe as the jury in the lease believed, that she told the truth in regard to her dream pnd presentiments. Now will some one explain' this case scientifically? 5 The mother lived nearly twenty miles from the scene of the murder and could have known of it in no way whatever. How could she have told of it in every detail? Was it accident, telepathy or super natural revelation? We do not 1, now. The following account of the case was given by our Circuit Judge Hon. Joseph M.

McWhorter: Shue in Noyexnberr189G, mar. tied Miss Zcona Heaster, -of Meadow Bluff district, in Green-briercouuty, as his third wife, ho being about 33 years of age, and settled at Livesays Mill to work at the blacksmith trade.
