Efom- the Missouri Democvai* A Remarlcable Case The History or a Great Crime tn Indi? ana?Five Trials and a Suicide. Ob the 12th of September, 1868, a farmer's boy discovered on the banks of the White Riv? er, about three miles north of the city of Indi? anapolis, the dead bodies of Jacob Young and Nancy Young, his wife, two reputable citizens of that place. The post mortem examination disclosed the fact that Mrs. Young had been killed by a pistol shot, the ball entering the back part of the head and coursing upward through th 3 brain, until it lodged upon the in? ner surface of the frontal bone. The ball proved to be a cartridge pistol ball. Mr. Young had been killed by a discharge from a double barrel shot gun, which was found by his side with one barrel exploded, the other barrel heavily charged with ten buck shot, and stand? ing cocked. The position and course of the wound upon Young and his wife proved con? clusively that they had been murdered. No pistol was discovered. The day after the dis? covery of the murder it was ascertained that the shot gun found by the dead bodies had been purchased from a pawnbroker in Indianapolis on the day of the murder. The gun was iden? tified by means of a broken thimble and a pe? culiarity about the locks, and the man who had purchased it was accurately described by the pawnbroker and a negro servant who was pres? ent when the purchase was made. At the time of the murder a gentleman and his two chil? dren, who were fishing some distance below the scene of the murder, heard the report of fire? arms in the direction of the place where the bodies were found. live minutes before the report was heard the children saw the deceased and another woman walking on the sand bar near where they were killed. A farmer and vhis son driving along the road, within a few 'hundred yards of the place, heard two reports, one loud like a shot gun the other sharp tike a pistol, and so near together that it was difficult to distinguish them. A man and his wife liv? ing a quarter of a mile from the scene heard the two reports and a scream between them. The witnesses agreed that the time was about 4 o'clock p. m. The horse and buggy of the deceased were found hitched in the road near by. On examining the neighboring ground the well denned tracks of a woman, wearing a new number three gaiter, making long steps, as if I in flight, were traced from a point near the dead Dodies, through the woods to a place where they intersected the track of a buggy, going in the direction of Indianapolis, and drawn by an animal wearing small sized, inter? fering shoes. The tracks of the woman and horse and buggy were all accurately measured. These were the clues, and the questions arose, who bought the gun? who was the woman seen in company with the deceased ? who drove the buggy in which the murderers fled from the scene of the tragedy 1 THE PURCHASE OF THE GUN. The pawnbroker sold the gun at 9 o'clock in the morning. Between the hours of 8 and 9 three applications for the purchase of a second? hand shot gun had been made at as many auc? tion stores and pawnbrokers' shops by a roan having sandy hair .and complexion, and at the third place he had inquired of a bright little girl, wno took him to the door, and directed lim across the street, and saw him enter the establishment where the gun was purchased which in seven, hours afterward had slain Young. Five witnesses identified William J. Abrams, a reputable carpenter of Indianapolis, as the man who purchased the gun. Mr. Abrams was arrested, and attention was then directed to the subject of THE HORSE AND buggy TRACKS. The afternoon of the murder, Silas Hartman had hired a horse and mare from a livery sta? ble. The mare wore small, interfering shoes, and a shoe taken from her feet was applied to the track made in the woods near the scene of | tiie murder, and it fitted it exactly. A plaster cast of the shoe was taken, and was compared with thousands of horse shoes without finding one that would go in it. Hartman was lodged in jail. WHO "WAS THE WOMAN ? Some farmers, coming to Indianapolis the afternoon of the murder, met Young and his wife going in the carriage in the direction of] ehe place where they were murdered, with a lady sitting in the same seat with Mrs. Young. A row yards behind the carriage Silas Hart man, driving the livery stable mare, was seen by the same-parties. He was recognized, but when they attempted to speak to him he turned his head and drove by them without responding to their salutation. Several of these witnesses testified that Nancy E. Clem, the wife of a leading grocer of Indianapolis, was '.be lady who occupied the seat with Mr. Young's wife ii. bis carriage. Silas Hartman, who followed iu the ouggy was her brother. A close watch was placed upon Mrs. Clem's movements, but her arrest was delayed for three weeks. This delay in her arrest secured her conviction. The confederate Abrams was in jail, and had difficulty in raising money to pay attorneys' fees. He sent for bis brother and directed him to go secretly to Mrs. Clem's house and get sev? eral thousand dollars, and tell her that the money must come. The brother obeyed these directions, and Mrs. Clem, yielding to the de? mand, went into a cellar where she had a pack? age of bills concealed in a stove-pipe hole in a chimnoy, and gave Abrams' brother several thousand dollars, and told him to tell his broth? er in jail not to send for more money, as it would excite suspicion. MOTIVE FOR THE MURDER. The murdered man was known to have had ever seven thousand dollars on his person a few hours before he was murdered. On the day of the murder Abrams, who purchased the gun, went to Mrs. Clem's house, fron which she was absent a good porlion of the afternoon, and remained there till she returned, and re? ceived a large sum of money from her imme? diately upon her return. BRIBERY OF WITNESSES. It was proved that Mrs. Clem offered her sewing girl $500 if she would swear that she was at her home during the afternoon of the murder; by means of bribes and threats she Jrocured her niece, her sister-in-law, and an rish servant girl to swear before the grand jury that she was at home and at the house of her sister-in-law, next door, during that afternoon ; and these persons afterward confessed their perjuries, and testified on oath that she had suborned them. She procured a book peddler to swear that he had delivered a book to her in Serson, at her house, the afternoon of the mur er; and persuaded a miller, who had deliver? ed a sack of flour at her house on another day, to swear that it was the day of the murder, and that he conversed with her at the very hour of the murder. She procured another man to swear that he met her in the Indianapolis Post Office, and accidentally trod upon her dress and apologized to her, the same afternoon. She procured two women to swear that they met her shopping in a dry goods store a few minutes afterward. Immediately upon her re? turn from the murder she told a neighbor, who noticed her flushed appearance, that she had been at home canning grapes over a hot stove all the afternoon of the murder, the fact being that no grapes had been canned. And on her examination before the Coroner's jury before the .arrest she swore that she was at home at the time the murder was committed. On the day of the funeral of Young and wife she stood at her front gate as the procession went by, and said to a friend that she bad no acquaintance with Young or his wife; the fact being that she had been visiting his house with her sister in-law two or three times a week for months prior to the murder. In fact, there was no end to the lies she told and hired others to tell for her. THE SHOES SHE WORE. When she was arrested she was wearing a pair of carpet slippera belonging to her colored servant, and not a slipper or shoe of any kind belonging to her could bo found about her house. Inquiry was made at a number of the shoe stores in Indianapolis, and it was ascer? tained that a boy had sold Mrs. Clem a pair of No. 3 gaiters a few days before the murder. The boy was requested to get a pair of the same size of the same manufacture. They were procured, and a careful measurement showed that the heels were too deep for the woman's tracks in the woods near the dead bodies, but corresponded with them in every other particular. Upon this being mentioned, the boy remembered that Mrs. Clem complain? ed of the high heels when she bought them, and inquired for a shoemaker, and, upon being directed where to go, started to have them al? tered. The shoemaker remembered that he had altered the. heels of a pair of gaiters for Mrs. Clem, and, upon being requested to alter the new pair in a similar manner, he removed a portion of the heel just as he had for her, ana when thus altered the gaiters fitted the track near the dead bodies to perfection. The servant girl swore that she saw Mrs. Clem's new gaiters lying on a bed in the house a day or two before the murder; that she saw the same gaiters soiled and muddy on the porch, and that they were never seen afterward. It was also proved that Mrs. Clem was seen to get into the carriage with Young and wife, as they were going in the direction where they were murdered, the afternoon of the murder; and one witness, who has known her and her broth? er Silas for years, met them coming home in a buggy from the direction of the murder, at a rapid pace, and swore that they refused to re? cognize him. MYSTERIOUS FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. The most remarkable feature of the case, however, and one that has excited a curiosity that will never be allayed until the guilty par? ties confess and explain it, grew out of the se? cret and mysterious rinanciil transactions which were carried on between Mrs. Clem and her victim, Young, and other citizens of Indianap? olis for months prior to the murder and up to the very day of its commission. Young, the murdered man, had been a porter in a hard? ware store, and wa3 known to be poor. Sud? denly he gave signs of wealth, improved his property, bought him a horse and carriage, quit working, and informed his former employ? ers that he was engaged in a business that was realizing enormous profits. He borrowed large sums of money at enormous rates of interest, invariably upon short time, and always re? turned them before his obligations matured. He kept a large bank balance at one of the In? dianapolis national banks, and established a credit that enabled him to procure the indorse? ments of some of the leading business men of the place. No one knew his business, and when asked by his indorsers what he was doing, he put them off with evasive answers. He was murdered Sept. 12, 1868, and $27,000 of his paper matured in bank on the 14th. This amount was paid by his indorsers. He was seen in a bank the day he was murdered with $7,500, in his pocket, and one witness swore that Mrs. Clem said that Young had given her $20,000 in the morning of the day of the mur? der. These financial transactions of Young covered a period of six month:?, and during the whole time he was visiting Mrs. Clem's house as often as two or three times a week, and always when her husband was at his gro? cery store. Mrs. Clem's husband never met Young, and never' knew that his wife was ac? quainted with him until after the murder.? Mrs. Clem was also in the habit of visiting Young's house two or three times a week in company with his sister-in-law, and when there she and Young would retire to an adjoining jroom, where they would be engaged in conver? sation and writing for a few minutes. When questioned by her6ister-in-lawabont the nature of her business relations with Young, she put her off with indefinite answers. Meanwhile Mrs. Clem and Young both had plenty of money. During the same period the fortunes of her convicted accomplice^Abrams, who pur? chased the gun, began visibly to improve. He quit working at his trade, commenced loafing and borrowing money at high rates of interest, kept a respectable balance in bank, paid his bank paper promptly, and spent a good portion of his time visiting Mrs. Clem's house. But the. strangest part of these financial transac? tions remains to be told. Dr. Duzan, a leading physician of Indianapolis, and a man of wealth, had been acquainted with Mrs. Clem since she was a child, and had always been her family physician. Before her arrest, Mrs. Clem had testified as a witness in tue grand jury room, and had there positively asseverated that she had never had any financial dealings with Dr. Duzan, and that he would not testify other? wise. All the leading bankers in the city were examined and compelled to produce the bank accounts of Dr. Duzan, Young, the murdered man, and Abrains, Mrs. Clem's confederate. Mrs. Clem kept no bank account during these transactions. A comparison of these bank accounts re? vealed the fact that there were the most inti? mate relations existing between them. When Dr. Duzan would check $10,000 out of his bank, Young would make a deposit of the same amount the same day; aud when Young would draw upon his bank balance, Duzan's would be increased to the same extent. It was the same with the bank accounts of Young and Abrams. Dr. Duzan swore in all the trials that he never knew or saw Young, and that he had never had any dealings with him directly or indirectly. Duzan, however, had large money transactions with Mrs. Clem. She be? gan by borrowing small sums of five hundred or a thousand dollars at time for short periods of seven or ten days, at enormous rates of in? terest, invariably returning the money, with in? terest, before due, and telling Duzan that she was engaged in large speculations with leading business men of Indianapolis, and that she would tell him all about it at the proper time. These loans increased until Duzan at one time advanced her over twenty thousand dollars, for which he took no receipt, note or memorandum. It invariably happened that the very day^ she would obtain money from Duzan, Young would make a deposit of like amount, or pay off a note in bank. As has been stated, $27,000 of Young's paper matured in bank on the 14th of September, 1SG8. Four or live days before that time Mrs. Clem came to Duzan iu great distress of mind, and, as he testified, wept bit [ terly and begged him to lend her $22,000.? Just at this time Duzan's bankers had become inquisitive concerning the use he was putting bis money, and upon his refusal to tell tliem, they withdrew their, accommodations. He informed Mrs. Clem that he could aid her no longer. Young evidently looked to her to provide the means to meet his maturing notes, and when she found it impossible to effect a loan from Duzan, she found herself at the end of the rope. She was compelled to close the account, and, catching the nearest way, she accompanied Young and his wife on their ride -} h$r brother, Silas, followed in a buggy with the gun pur? chased by Abrams. Young and his wife were murdered, and the murderers fled to Indianap? olis in the manner described. Mrs. Clem was first tried in the fall of 1868, and but for the obstinacy of a German juror, who stood out for conviction against eleven for acquittal, she would have gone scot free. Up? on the second trial she was convicted and sen? tenced to the State's Prison for life. Her broth? er Silas?who had testified in her behalf, and had been detected in a dozen perjuries concern? ing his whereabouts on the day of the murder ?committed suicide in jail, the night of her conviction, by cutting his throat with a razor. Abrams was then tried, and convicted of mur? der in the first degree?the proof of the pur? chase of the gun by him, a few hours before the murder., being clear and conclusive; also his dividing the money with Mrs. Clem after the murder. The Supreme Court reversed the judgment against Mrs. Clem and gave her a new trial, upon a shallow technicality that led many ignorant people to believe that the court had been corrupted. Her counsel took a change of venue, and she was tried the third time at Lebanon, Boon County, Indiana; the trial resulted in a divided jury. The fourth and last trial has just been concluded by a ver? dict of guilty, with a sentence of imprisonment for life. Thus has ended one of the most re? markable chapters in the history of the crimi? nal jurisprudence of this country. We doubt if even the celebrated Webster case furnished a stronger illustration of the efficacy and relia? bility of a connected chain of circumstantial evidence. At first it was pronouuced incredi? ble that Mrs. Clem should have had any con? nection with the murder of her two friends, but little by little the truth came to light, until her guilt was so clearly revealed that no intel? ligent mind could doubt it after carefully con? sidering the facts. From the Augtiata Chronicle & Sentinel. Augusta and Hartwell Railroad. Permit me the use of your columns to call the attention of the public, and particularly the Board of Directors of the Augusta and Hartwell Boad, to the following letter, which we received from an old friend, in reply to our solicitation for business: Anderson County, S. C,} July 2,1872. J My Dear Sir : In answer to your letter so? liciting consignments of cotton, I would gladly fihip to your market, but the facilities are not sufficient. The river is too slow and uncertain. In these days we can't wait a week or two to ship cotton ; we must "realize" quickly. The trade of this country would all go to Augusta if we had the facilities necessary; and why the citizens of Augusta?who are a wide-awake, energetic people?do not make exeitions to get it, is beyond my comprehension. They have now a splendid opening to get the trade of the whole Savannah Valley?the couuties of El bert, Hart and Franklin, in Georgia, and a laige portion of Anderson and Oconee, in South Carolina; and also to tan the Blue Ridge Railroad at Walhalla by the shortest line that can be made to the seaboard. It would be useless to enumerate the advantages of such a connection, as they are obvious to every one. But there is a project on foot now that may not only take from you this trade, but lose you what you now get from Elbert and all the counties adjoining and above. You are aware that they have a railroad chartered from El berton to intersect the Air Line at Dry Ponds. I hear that company have made propositions to the Air Line Company to lay the track and equip and run the road. If this is done, of course the Air Line Company will hold the controlling power and run the road for their advantage, and all tne freight will go North. I hear, also, that it is proposed by the Augusta and Hartwell Road to unite with that road at Elberton or Hartwoll. You can ?ee in a mo? ment what the consequences would be. Instead of getting more trade, AugUBta would lose much that she now has. There is a way now opened for you to push forward and take advantage of the opening in this country and secure the trade that if left to seek its own way to market, will go to Charleston or New York. That is, take bold of the Augusta and Hart well Rail? road and run it up tne valley of the river to or near this point?cross the Tugalo and run to Perry ville or Walhalla. If you do this at once, the Elberton road will not be built, and, of ne? cessity, Augusta would get all the trade of the Georgia side, and a very large proportion of j the Carolina side of the Savannah would take [ that route in preference to the Groeuville and Columbia Road. When you get to this point [ and cross the Tugalo, all the produce would bike that route, as well as that of Hart and Franklin counties, as it would bo the nearest point for them and possess more advantages. The Air Line Company made a grievous mistake in the location of their road; they see it already, but it.is too late to remedy it now. They have lost all the produce of Franklin and Hart counties in Georgia, and Anderson and Abbeville on this, side, by running too high up; but it has left a fine opening for Au? gusta, if she will only step in now and take it. Augusta is compel lea to have an opening in this direction, and sooner or later it will be built, but if she delays much longer, other roads will be built, and divert all the produce to some other market. It is easy to keep a trade, but very hard to get it back when it is lost I merely make these suggestions, hoping that you will talk this matter over with your friends?get up some interest in the matter and see if you can't induce your city to move forward and put this important road at work? send out your engineers?survey the route?get up subscriptions, and capitalists will take hold of it and build the road for you when they see you are in earnest We have a charter for a road from Walhalla to the Tugaloo which can be used for this road if secured in time, other? wise it may be taken by the Air Line for their own advantage. Yours respectfully, H. Now, Messrs. Editors, the points made in this letter are plain and direct. Our corres? pondent states that time is too important an clement, in these days of high rates of interest and stringent money matters, to be overlooked. The river is too slow a medium of communica? tion, and existing lines of railroads are un? friendly by location and control, and therefore we cannot expect them to further Augusta in? terests. Cannot some arrangement be made by which the control of the charter of the Augus? ta and Hartwell Road can be made, which will give confidence in the enterprise ? It seems to me that there can be, and I am sure that every Augusta merchant will take a little stock to help tho enterprise. Merchant. ? A rifle company?A gang of thieves. ?

SOMETHING NEW. A Buttonhole, Overseaming and Complete Sewing Machine in One!! We request the Ladies, and all others want? ing a perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from personal examination, this superior and excel? lent Machine. It is no exaggeration to say that it will execute a greater variety of sewing, with fewer attachments and less labor, than any Machine in the world. It is a decided im? provement on the older Machines in market; and the superior skill, workmanship and ma? terials employed in its construction are a guar? antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and enable the Company and its Agents to War? rant every machinb they sell to give entire satisfaction. It is comparatively noiseless, and runs with such ease that the most delicate female can operate it all day without fatigue. A Philadel? phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says : "In New England, the home of the Sewing Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine is without a rival?1. Because it will do every? thing that any Machine can do, sewing from the finest to the coarsest material, hemming, felling, cording, braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc., better than any other Machte. 2. Because the tensions are more easily adjusted. 3. Because | it can work a beautiful buttonhole, making as j fine a pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will embroider over the edge, making a neat and | beautiful border on any garment. 5. Because I it will work a beautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be? cause it can do overhand seaming, by which sheets, pillow-cases and the like are sewed over and over. 7. Because you can quickly raise and lower the feed to adapt it to thick or thin cloth. 8. Because you have a short, deep bobbin, by which the thread is constantly drawn from tho centre, the tension is conse? quently even. 9. Because tho prcsser-foot turns back, that tho cloth may be easily re? moved after being sewed. Because it is two Machines in one, and has no springs to break, and nothing to got out of order."
