It will further he remembered that Frank swore that he borrowed a twenty dollar bill from his cousin, George Long, on the preceding Sunday evening about six o'clock, and that George Long corroborated his testimony, and still further, that George testimony was strongly intr Ad Bradley, Nixon and theii lawyers had discovered two witnesses one cl whom could positively swear that George Long was not in Lebanon on that Munday evening, and the other that Frank Long was at his own home on that Munday evening. With theae taels in their beads, coupled with the testimony that is now familiar, they called in Detective John T. Norris, of Mpringfieid. There were two loug, important situations with Mr.

Norris before he took up tbs case. Finally all matters were arranged, and a contract was aigned, by which Mr. Norris was to positively find who Albert horse. He arrived at Lebanon Monday evening, June 21st. Another long consultation with Bradley, Nix aud their lawyers followed, it lasting until long after midnight.

Mr. Norris started early Tuesday morning and never stopped until he had old George In a corner in the Columbus Penitentiary and had pumped him thoroughly. As be expected, Ray gave him an apparently small yet one whico, to the practiced detective, meant much. It was that at 2 on the morning of July 8th, a man had been at his house. The testimony of Constable Mam Muckles was al ouce brought to mind.

He testified that when he arrested Long the second time Frank said: Ham, not the only Wednesday, Thursday aud Friday last were spent in Warren and Clermont. Mr. Norris made a thorough tour of all places connected with the trial, and talked to nearly all the parties, lie was with all the Mteddoms, spent a night with James Orosson, went down and tailed the whole matter over with Frank Long, aud told him that although he was sate on the matter oi horse stealing, yet that if the fact of the case showed thai he was the guilty man, he could be sent to the Penitentiary both for burglary and perjury. Frauk said that was right, and apparently gave the officer all the information in his and expressed it as his desire that the thief should be tracked down and punished. While conducting this investigation, Mr.

Norris came across two or three small all indicating the same as information, that there was another man in the case. For some reason or other, which is not yet made public, he went to Loveland and worked there for a while. From there he sent a dispatch to meet him in Lebanon Friday evening This was done, aud the detective the seven train and reported what he had found. They then determined to investigate the matter of the twenty-dollar bill said to have been given by George Long to his cousin, Frank. On Saturday morning the detective went up to the farm ut William Hutch iusou, where George was working.

He first talked with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hutchinson, who are now positive that George was not in Lebanon that Munday evening. He then went on over to where George was working, and found him plowing. He at once began to question him.

George stuck to the story he had sworn to, and told it just as he had be fore. He repeated the story several times, and than the detective caught him in a contradiction. George broke out, are you any When Norris told who and what he was It broke the boy all up, but he still stuck to the story. Then he wanted time; wanted to tike a turn at the plow; then to talk to Mr, Hutchinson; then said he would come to town in the evening and see the detective, but finally broke down and confessed that he had perjured him- I self; that he hart never given rank Long the money; that he had received inst rue tious in a letter Dom Frank how lie was to ad; said that the note produced at the trial was written on a billiard table at a Dayton hotel, and, further, that be had not seen Frank from the time he (Frank) was married until he saw him at Dayton. Thp boy had no idea of the gravity of the crime of perjury, nor did he know that he could tie punished Dr it.

He did what he did merely to oblige Frank. The terrible importance ot this confession to Frank Ling is at once apparent, particularly to any one who is conversant with the evidence. Mr. Norris determined to follow up his advantage at once. He brought George to town.

Bere the boy confessed again and time to other parties. The detective then went before Squire Blackburn and made an affidavit, ckarg mg Frank Long with perjury un or about April 8th, 1886, and also (wore out a warrant for arrest. He at ouoe hired a buggy and started for Pleasant Plain, near where Frank hay been living. They spent the night in Borrow the two scot sri I leo. Long's home brank hts been living on Will place, he and his wife keeping house, sud WHI, who is unmarried, and who has bscked Frank in all his trials, living with them, When the party arrived, George was hidden In the hack of the rig, and Norris got out and called to Frank.

They stepped to one side and Norris told him that he had been lying, that he (Norris) would net Ire able lo trace the true thief unless the truth was told to him. indignantly denied the charge. Norris quietly called George, who came and him tote)) the whole story. Frank nudged George but it was of no avail. George told the whole story At its conclusion, Frank gave all up with, I guess Just then Will.

Ling came up and the bitter shock lo him may lie imagined. Then wife came out and a most heart rendering scene look place. Finally the defective told Frank that he wouk have to arrest him on a charge of perjury. and just about noon Frank Long was for the third time placed under rest for the terrible mistake of his life.

He did not steel the horse but he told who did. The horse was stolen and brought to woods and there tied to a large beech tree at about two o'clock in the morning. Frank was waiting, and at once started for Dayton, where the events that took place were practically as related by Wa! ter Nixon.

After selling the horse he went the Third Street Station, where he took the train for Xenia From this place bg went to Corwin, where he left the train ss it did not stop at Oregonia. He knew the Bteddoms were to dc in Waynesville that day, so he walked down the railroad. As he was nearing he met the man who brought the horse to him, and with whom be di vided the money. He then hurried up to the Sleddom place and began cutting weeds, and while at this saw several of the witnesses who swore they Raw him that day. He was at 8 to supper and took the letter to Oregonia Post office, ss he testified, and had it registered.

He said that confession was right in every particular, and that he (Frank) told him it was not wrong and that nothing could be done with him. Long Mid that he was persuaded to take the horse to Dayton by the man who it to Bradley's woods. This name is known to the detective, but is withheld until he can be ar rested. This man used Frank as a tool. He told him that there was no danger; that as long as he did uot steal the horse the law could not touch him that he would see him safely through, and see that nothing happened to him, It may well be imagined how strong a pressure could be brought to bear on an ignorant country boy.

He bad a heavy debt due in a day or so. Here was an opportunity of making the money without danger to himself. The prospect was too tempting, He caught at the bait and fell. The detective brought his prisoner at cute to Lebanon, on Sunday, and lodged him in jail. In the morning he was taken over to see Mr.

Dilatush, who has been his counsel in all threeof the trials, but he was so hurt and angry with deceit that he refused to have anything to do with the Long then requested that Milton Clark might he his attorney, and that gentleman greed to appear at least at the preliminary hearing. About ll on Monday the case came on for preliminary hearing before Squire Blackburn. Long entered a plea of not guilty, and announced himself ready for trial. But the State, represented by Mr. asked for a postponement, which was granted, to Thursday at IO At that trial will probably be brought out nearly all the important results of Norris' investigations, and it may be safely said that it will make one of the strangest and most interesting cases ever brought be fores Warren County Court.

ft A Lively Telephone liar. I ndiana polis July telephone war here is growing hot. The last Legislature passed a law placing the rental of instruments at $8 per month. The telephone company recently sent out circulars to subscribers proposing to change $5 per month for instrument and $2 additional for wires, exchange service, etc making the rate the same as heretofore paid, $5 per mouth. A meeting of the subscribers was held to-day at which it was decided to appoint a committee to manage their interests, and insist tin the alleged rate of $8 lier month.

A representative of the telephone company made a proposition Dr continue the service at the old rate for three months and agreeing to retund the extra $2 a month in case the court should order. The meeting took no action on the imposition and at the present there is ittle prospect of a compromise. best on can truly be said of Glycerine speedy cure for cuts, bruises, scalds, burns, sores, tetter and all skin eruptions.

W. Btldwio has been appointed Postmaster here tics Mrs. M. A. McNair.

The appointment gives general satisfaction except among a few Republicans who seem lo be in favor of holding the lintier a Democratic administration. Mrs. has been in every way an efficient postmistress and many regret tc see ber deposed, but to those who know that the hollow pretense of Civil Hervice -form that has been to much preached about sines the inauguration of Cleveland was only a sham, are uot surprised at the change, and Mrs. McNair has been prepared for it some time. The Rapubltcans might as well know first av last that every office in Ohio will changed before the October election and that the only charge against them will be, that being Republicans, they are ''offensive partisans.

There can be no charge of inefficiency against Mrs. McNair, but the fact that she was the widow ot a Republican soldier, and her own personal sympathies with that party is sufficient cause for removal, and this wss the only cause of ber having to step down and out. If we are to hkve a Democratic postmaster, no better choice could be msde then the appointment of Dr. Baldwin. The Dr.

will take pride in the office and will fix it up to 4it the people who patronize it, regardless of party. His boi.d has been forwarded to the Department and in a few days we will be able to the changa and will greet the Dr. with open arms, knowing he will endeavor to do his whole duty, and with the assistance of the prtsent deputy, Min Applegate, the business will move along in the usual tenor of its way. We congratulate the Dr. and tile people on the appointment.
