THE BRISTOL NEWS I. O. FOWLER, EDITOR AUD PBOf nifcTOR. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER TA XE ITS has hetn entered as second Huss matttr at lAa llristul, Tennessee, rost Office, tun i i in i i i ii ii, Uro. DniNKAim, wo nre lit a Iopb to know why you will not lie quiet.

Arc not you and we equally ngreod na Kend-JuRtere? Are wo not both Barbour Bill tnan? Ate we not nbout even in the phcre of prophecy bid you not say you would be modkht and put Geo. I). Wlncs's majority at Wan not liia majority a shade less say exactly 2,305 less than half you promised? What have you now In your complaint book against Fowler? Are you not, two, a little tender on the tarifl Don't you agree the Democratic party has been illghtly rutted? Are there not few barnacles that ought to be scoured If Fowler could have gotten the Barbour Bill when he voted for it in the House, would It not have prevented much you and he now mourn over? Has not that poll tax amendment led to the very trouble and corruption which Kowler predicted to your then political dlflgust? Did it not bring Republrnn money into the campaign of '80, nnd did it not make Uoode-shiverin the vioi-blo ahadow of defeat make Tucker lecp uneasily, and Geo. Who seek injunctions agalnct Masscy, and Keily in-voko the aid of civil process against the Auditor? Has Fowler always been wrong? Can you not say that ns Kead-JiiHtinent Is tho thing to be speedily ilono uow.it would have been better that it ero done long ajro? Meantime, good frltnd, do not forget the difference between 3,305 and that modest 5000. THE MARBLE HALL HORROR.

That Bloody Shirt and that Pocket Book. Tha Coal, the Misting Axe, tho Missing Papers, the Missing bag of Silver, TWO, OR ONE? To trace ns far ns can bo, the footsteps of the most diabolical murderer who has for years stained Tennessee soil with human blood to obtain truthful particulars and dlHposn of untruthful and conflicting accounts of one of the most revolting and terrible deeds of this period, the editor of this paper went last Friday to the lowu of JtogersvUle, the vicinity of the murder at Marble Hall on the previous Monday or Tuesday, of (has. Brown and Andy Heck, by Joe Harris, or by Harris and some unknown person or It Is an aw I'll I thought Hint In our best communities ami our most expensively built and securely arranged dwelling, It is evvn possible for industrious, usctui and quiet eh leus to retire at night for sleep, from which they are to awako In another world only leaving their charred and tnutillated bodies to ahork' the peace and nfl'ectlons of those who awaited the coming down to greet them with nil the pleasant.

Win. Price, who lives diagonally across the road some 7.) yards from Marble Hall.

The same day he tried to one from Mr. Lewis Miller who lives a mile or more away. In these attempts he failed. On Monday he was at hogers-villc and v. as fully aware thrt Itrown expected to leave with Heck on Tuesday morning, Dually for liriMol.

In the afternoon he took another mad that passed about a mile north of the Hall, and after sunset was seen by two liferent parlies at the marble quarry on that road the point being a mile from the Hall. From the this moment no more was seen of him until midnight following the next day, when Sheriff lilevins picked him tip at a house of ill-fame in Pumpkin Valley distant miles from Marble Hull on the route to-llancork county, unless it he when two wagoners met him in the road about dawn on Tuesday j3 l0 have dodged. This latter fact was reported to lilevins at Marble Hall on Tuesday. It should be borne In mind that the murder is supposed to have been committed about midnight between Monday and Tuesday. 'J return to Marble Hall.

It was well know that lirow and Heck aimed to make an early start next morning for Bristol, and Mr. Win. Price expected to start ecjually early for Jlogersville and arrangements were accordingly made tit the two bouses. To understand the situation let us have the followingdiagram I a I a MARBLE HALL. (A) Room where Brown nnd Heck slept.

(IJ) Middle room connected with i (A) by door. (C) Dining room, with door to Kitchen, at which murderer entered. (I)) Itooin here Mrs. Price slept. (E) Kooni where Mrs.

Itlackley slept, (x) Doors. (Z) Fire place. (T) Door found Btanding open by Price. (K) Front door found locked by Price. Wtn.

lluai. Two negro servant girls of Mrs. Black- ley's occupied the kitchen (F) which liai ashed connecting it with tho house. About dusk these girls notified Mrs. Ulacklev that they were going two miles distuut to house for apples, but would return at bed time.

They did go to that house and did return at bed time, but In view of some uncertajnty about it Mrs. Iilsckley got Mrs. Price, to spend the night with her, Mr. Hinckley being at the Bristol Court. Brown and Heck, though not in the hab it of drinking hail procured a little brandy and were occupying room A.

Mr. Price came over and siayeu uiun usual bed time; Ids son Jacob, same nge and siooflleck, was also tbeje and was nlsvlnir on the banjo. 1 rice says lfiow and Heck took but one drink up to the time ho left and when he ent home, tie left bis son Jake with them and expect ed him to spend the night with them. Here the curtain talis torever on isrown nnd Heck. What dark and bloody work was done in that room during the next few hours must be unfolded by the dim light of circumstantial evidence, unless Ilarrls should unlock his mouth.

After tho negro girls returned at say o'clock, there is some discrepancy In their statements ns to their account of the night, but one of them Is a deformed and very weak-minded creature, nnd they are not suspected. At 11 Mrs. Price and Mrs. Itlackley retired and were soon The next scene was under cover of the profound slumber and darkness that enshrouded all of Marble Hall save room A. It must have occurred within an hour, Let us pas.s to TUB WSCOVKIIY.

As nearly ns can bo Judgid It was about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning that Mr, Price awoke and went, to hU front door from which he saw that room A at Marble Hall as lighted' He at once supposed It was nearer daylight than he had calculated and that the panics over there had arisen were pieparing for nil early start, as agreed upon. He a. oiK'e kindled bin Urea and after having his daughter commence preparing breakfast ciwcd to Marble Ilall, say at two o'clock, passed to the rear and llnding outer door to room standing open called at room awoke Mrs. Pilee, notified her breakfast would soon he ready and licked her to diets and come She and Mrs. Ulacklev of once mcc and he rcina'ikcd to them fiethoiitrht hei oiild smell something burning, adding tluit a the men In room A wen? sleeping with their bed on the lloor near the Hit, the lire might have popped on the bed while they were asleep.

At their leipiesl be went to loom (A) nnd, on cpenlng the door found the room filled wlih siroke, Calling to the men to awake them there was no response. Ctopliig hU way through the smoke he found the bed on Hie and endeavored to mouse them. "Are you goln to sleep here until you nre but tied to dealhV" lint the dead talk not and there was no repoi no, Supposing they had been suffocated be caught one of them by the leg, but Ii had been burned until the flesh sll ped awny, and Inking hlin by the shouhli rs he d'nmgeil the body on to the marble floor of the ball, where, by the light which bad been brought by the two ladles, he came to the conclusion that the charred and blackened body was that ol IIM OW HON I He then caught the burning bed i loihes aliuoi consumed, threw them In (lie place, and dunked the slowly burning feather bed. wlih Hiown's body on il, into the hall. Calling hU younger son fioin Ills own house, lie liupaiteil the belief that his biotherJake wis dead, lint the younger sou replied ihU not so; thai he had Jut, left him nlce at the other house.

His furehead, the Inner end of the left eye brow and some inch down the si If of l.hc had been crushed in. The blow had been directed from his left, side rather. Brov.n's skull luoi "been by it Kingle blow above bi.i lefi, ear. A single blow no more had killed ldm, Lot be was found with feci drawn up tuul lying across the foot of the bcil, ihiiugii Heck had been killed am! llicblo'w had caused to spring up in a sitting posture when the next one killed him. The reader should note that the bed was spread with the bead to the lront of the house that It pointed with the foot of it tow ard the space in front of tlie lire.

Heck was at the left, side and, if the murderer stood al the head of the bed nex't the front window and was left handed, he would naturally have struck Heck first. Brown being next struck, he may have fallen across the foot of the bed from a sitting posture, or lui may have been dragged there, in getting his money. His 'overcoat and pants were evidently taken away, as no traces of the metal bullous were' discovered in the ashes. His pocket knife was also taken. The murderer is supposed to Lave entered by the door (Y), left open, into room (C) used by the Browns as a cook room, thence through the dining room (B) to room (A).

I stop here to note, that I called Blev-ins' attention to the fact that it might he interesting to ascertain if Harris is left-handed. It Is not propable that the murderer struck these blows fioin a position in front of the men, us to do so lie would have had to encounter tl.e po sition of the bed and the risk of the use of their hands by the sleepers. He would have been more likely to go to the end of thy bed here he had the nearest and clearest access to the object of his blow and that would bo the head of it. For be it remembered the bed was on the lloor, ith the foot flouting the lire. He would not likely have passed betw een them and the fire light, as lie would have inevitably done to strike them a right handed blow from the front.

Whether one or two were engaged in it, the blows were both struck, in all probability by one person. Brown's skull was broken by the blow into four piece, parting everywhere at the sutures. Theie had been two axes on the premises. One of them was missing. Brow was known to have had a lotof currency in his pic ket book nnd a bag containing $15 or 520 In silver.

All this was missing. Putting togother a few stray facts P.ievins' mind reverted to Joe Harris. His coat had been left there for several days it was there yet. Harris was not in that curious crowd. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday he was about, and while Biown and Heck were alive he was never far a way.

Now they were dead and he no where about. lie had frequently seen Brow n's money and had none of his own. He kne Marble Hall and Brown, perfectly. lie knew those doors, those axes. At a stianee und painful Juneinre he nnd that axe could could not he found.

Two wagoner from tow ards Hancock came by and were confident they met Joe Harris before day and that he avoided then). Joe 11 an is' brother, aged 21 years had been present all day and In tho late afternoon stin ted toward Hancock. Blevlns lollowed, nr-rested him and, while not suspecting him for any purpose worse than a desire to warn Joe, he returned with him to the hall and put him under guard. Then began ths prnsuiT. With a friend Sheriff Blevlns slarled on the dark, cold ride across Clinch Mountain.

The flying (lend had left an occasional track of 'his exodus. But he was not In the Clinch Valley. The determined officer pressed on across Copper Kldge, nnd llnding his man had left the road he followed his dim trail by an obscure path until he could see the woods on lire a mile (If on the mountain tddo. Drawing nearer he could see In the glare of the burning timber the forms of men and omen i they fought tho tire. He could he.tr their voices.

Soon the forms were invisible, and then he could hear them tiecen ling the mountain.

He restrained them, and he took Joe Harris and put him in the most rcoiire cage in all Fast 1 saw Jo lli.nis by lamplight.

He is about the must n-curely locked in man I ever saw. The cell itself is a very secure one, and is barred and locked' inn way to l.e human hope sink. But in the middle of that large cell there is an iron cage ten feet sijuare and six or seven feet high. It is made of huge bars of iron, bolted and securely riveted at each crossing of the bars, which areliot more than four inches apart. On its doors of similar structure are three Luge patent pad locks.

His feet are secured by heavy tellers, and to these is secured a strong chain which passes between the bars ami is anchored on tho outside. Over this grim grip of doom presides Jailor Cook, a man who picks up his Navy six shooter hen he goes to let you peep through those bars, and ho will just die there before his game can get away. The people nre now juict, but Joe Harris will surely have to face his jury. Capt. Cool; opened the door, a Work of suvcral minutes, and at; a word Harris hffhmlcd ith his chain to the door, looked us sipiarely in the lace (Walker of the Fptrtatfr ami Dungan of the Jonesboro Jnurmd were with uie) jerked off his slouch hat, ami said, "Well here I am gentlemen, what do you think of me'f" 1 was prepared to see a liend.

I thought God hail- set his mark on a inun, who at midnight could coldly and dexterously brain two men and lire a house containing sleeping women and children for the purpose ol robbing one of them to get his purse with the price ol a few hogs in it. Bul. I was greatly surprised. He was bright and good looking, feel inches high, weighing about' 1 10 to Br0, aged 20. His skin was lair, eye clear and, save a litfht moustache of red color, and a very short glossy heard that served to lie back on his he seemed either cleanly shavmi or youthfully beardless.

His head as well enougli shaped ami, though he said he could neither read nor write, he had readiness and accuracy of speech and an Intelligent appearance. Ho told the sumo old story, with which be whiled away the dark hour In which brought him across Clinch Mountain. During the day however be acknowl-ed from his cage to Blevlns that he had lied to him. lie shed tears, paid he knew he had to die and meant thereafter to lie to him no more. From what I could see of blm he Is lithe and agile ss a fox, as active as a hare, ami I thought that under that silken beard, fair skin, clear eye and handsome hair I could catcli feeble glimpses of the devil in him.

I beiievo he killed those men, but don't believe he was alone in It. The people of Bogersville believe he la the sole murderer, and Sheriff Blevlns, who has certainly distinguished himself ns a detective of rare sagacity hud nerve, r.gruvs Willi them in that opinion. IIu thinks all of Brown's money is accounted for except the hag of silver, and that he may have disposed of that In several wars. His opinion Is entitled to great weight. If it be established that he had all the money Blevlns' theory will bo conclusively proven.

I know he may have killed'both. I think he did. But theio are so many probabilities that a in an would foresee, not only possible failure in a doul.de murder tuinklcd, but absolute detect ion to follow, that I doubt, Jf lo would have been bold enough to ru ii-rtake It it limit havlni' a confederate ntandlng imar to make tall-uie impossible, Moreover Brown's btothcrs think ho had more money than Harris had on blm.

The ground was frozen and there was no snow. There could not even be any tracks In the house. There was blood on Harris' Khirf and pants, but he had slaughtered hogs on Friday, nnd unless the microscope in the hands of an expert be used, there is no moans of disproving his assertion that the blood on his clothes us put there by that means, moreover his victims bled very Jittle. An investigation to his being left-handed, nnd the use of the microscope before those clothes used too much, may furnish valuable information. If he is not left-handed und there bo no humm: blood on hie clothes, some support would be given to the theory that no had a confederate ho may havo done tho principal work while he played informant, guide, picket and Harris Is rually a native and technical citizen of Hawkins.
