It ia related that Max G. Leslie, former chairman of the Republican county committee, received $25,000 by arrangement from E. H. Jennings and F. A. Griffin, of the Columbia National Bank, and that Leslie gave Wm. Brand, who waa then president of common council, directly or in directly $17,500 to obtain the city deposits for the Columbia National Bank. An unnamed man is said to be interested and concerned in the payment of the money by Leslie to Brand, either as intermediary or principal. It is declared that Morris Einstein received S 16.000 from the Working man's Savings and Trust company to have that bank named aa a city de pository, but the name of the bank m-, ‘ ^ official Who paid him the money is unknown. It ia further declared In the pre sentment that the members of the grand Jury are of the opinion that the books of the Workingmen's Bank have been mutilated, three pages re ferring to this deal having been cut from the, ledger.

The two bandits who recently heM up and robbed a fast mall train on the Missouri Pacific road, near Eureka, Mo.; have been captured and are now in jaU at St. Louis, each ^held in default of $20,000 bail, and irTs probabSe' ffial each will get a prison sentence extending over the rest of his natural life. Bill Lowe and Gieorge Eberllng are the two men who pnrtioipated in the hold-up, And. it. is the story of their careless ness in leaving an old slouch hat laying around that finally led to the capture. The train robbers, under cover of /■volvers, compelled the engineer and firemen of the train to detach the two mall car^ and run them up the track for a mite and then get out of the engine cab and walk back to the rest of the crew. Then the robbers ran the train about five miles further up the track, where they oolly looted the two cars. The post office authorities detailed In spector Perkins on the job, and, af ter looking over the ground and the clews, he decided that an old, gray, felt hat, left near the soene of the robbery, was the best one to fol low. In tracing the hat's owner, he dis covered thjit It had been-stolen with a lot, of other loot from a freight car robbed in St. l^ouis some months iHifoffe. The nfext move was UK. get a line on the suspects at the time the hat was stolen, and who might have stolen 'it from the freight car. In looking up th/se worthies the in spector was impressed by the rather dubious antecedents of one Jim Lowe,, who had been employed by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road at the time of the robbery. The inspector was still further 1m pressed with the fact that Jim had a brother Bill, who some 11 years before had been connected with the younger Jesse James In the hold-up of a train. Inquiry re specting Bill Lowe showed him as being for the moment engaged In the sale of mining stock, with an office in the Granite building, In St Louis, and as ostensibly reformed and conducting an honest and legiti mate business. However, the inspector says, sort of fitejing crept Into his mind that as Bill had the nerve to hold up a train 11 years before, he might be tempted to try the old trick over again. At any rate, the Inspector found that Bill wa« In St. Louis and handy for the Job about the time of the robbery. Furthermore Bill had been an en gine driver and In a pinch could have done Just as one of the robbers did In running five miles up the track with the mall cars at Eureka. And then if In the latter job might he not have worn the old hat found at the scene of the holdup, and further more might not his brother Jim have given it to him. after all? Then the developments came quick and surprising, indicating the inspectors line- of logic to have been well found ed. A quiet search of Jim Lowe’s home resulted in the finding of the goods stolen at the same time the old gray hat wag taken from the freight car. Then Jim was asked to explain and upon being shown th° hat after awhile hesitatingly admit ted that it was ‘one that had been given to him by a friend" about a year ago, and which he later gave to his brother Bill. Then, the In spector says, all was plain sailing in the matter of running down tl* robbers. Investigation Shows that German Companies and National Fire Un derwriters Worked Together.

When he returned home on JFrday night and found that his brother-in-law, Conrad Falk, had taken his family to the theatre, he leoaded a double barreled shot-gun and waited for them. When they re turned, he fired two shots at Falk, wtho ran down the road and escaped. After heaping abuse upon his wife and children he went to bed but was In a bad humor. When he arose Saturday morning he commenced a quarrel with his wife which culmi nated in the shooting. The wounded woman and children were brought to a hospital In New Orleans. Mrs. Mitchell received a load of shot in the abdomen and her condition is critical. The daughter is badly wounded in the shoulders and breast and may not live. The boy will probably reooer.

When and Where It Can be Seen to Besf Advantage 4 The comet is still far away but is faintly visible with a good opera glass in the west after sunset and is rapidly growing brighter. It will probably be vifcible to the nacked eye by the middle of April, but it will then be in the morning sky and one must look for it in the east about two hours before sunrise. On May 14 the comet will pass directly be tween the earth and the sun and will be only 13,000,000 miles from the earth. This will be its closest ap proach to the earth and after this date the comet will move rapidly away from the earth and sun and will soon be lost to view. On account of its rapid motion it will be seen In the west again in the evening from May 20 until the early part of June, when it will fade rapidly as it has tens onward along Its outward path. •For some days before and after May 18, if the prognostications of astromomers are correct, the comet will be a magnificent object. Its head is already over 190,000 miles in diameter and Its tail is more than 6,000,000 miles In length and con stantly growing. Without doubt the brilliant tail will extend fully one- third the distance from the horizon to zenith during its close ap proach to the earth, and the earth may be enveloped in the tail as it sweeps past us on the 18th of May, But as a comet's tall Is exceedingly flimsy, being nothing more than tiny particles of gas or flecks of dust, its visit to us will cause us no incon venience. On April 4 the comet may be seen in the morning in the east It will rise at about 5 o'cleok. On April 16 it will rise at 4 a. m On April 24 it rises at 3.30 a. m. On May 14 it rises at 3 a. m. After May 20 it will be seen in the west after sunset. On May 20 it sets at 7.45 p. m. On May 25 It S'ts at 10.30 p. in. On May 3 0 It sets at 10 p. m. After the 1st of June the comet will be faint and will soon disappear from sight. —• RAFT TELLS OF DISASTER. V GETS OFF EASY MAN WHO KILLED HTRET PEO- PIJO SOON TO BE FREE.

C., will soon open and free “Bob" Jones, whose crime, trial, and conviction 25 years ago created such a furore. Following a trival dispute, Jones killed his wife’s aged grandfather, A. Pressley, and two other near relatives. It was one of the most brutal crimes in the criminal hlstorp of the South, and it was only after six years’ legal bat tle that he was sentenced to the penitentiary to serve a term of 20 ywars for bis deed. That oJnes did not hang was due to the fact that his resources at the time of the triple murder were ample for him to retain a corps of the ablest law yers in the state, who saved his neck and got him off with a 20 years' sentence. One frosty morning in November, 1 885, the Pressleys, the old man and his three sons wient out to plant some oats, Charley and Ed the elder sons, plowed the furrows and the old man dropped the seed. Then Jones cames on the soene. It is said he thought they were using more of the land than they were entitled to. \^hen Jones say the Pressleys he did not indicate his murderous intentions. Without warning he walked to within a few feet of Charles Press- ley, called him by name and when Pressley turned around to meet him, fired a load of shot into his stomach, killing him Instantly. Then Jones ran and Ed Pressley ran after him. Ed was unarmed) There was method in Jones' fight. Aa soon as he saw that they were alone and far away from possible aid Jones stopped and, turning back, ran into Pressley, driving a long-bladed knife into his vitals, Pressley drop ped dead in his tracts. Jones then reloaded his gun and went hack to the place where old man Pressley was grieving over the body of his son Charles. The old man was 76 years of age and was suffering from palsy. Jones walked up to him anfd touched him on the shoulder, and when the old fellow, tears run ning down his cheeks, turned and faced him, he calmly said: “Well, grandpa, I believe that I will kill you too,” and then he fired the load of shot into the old man’s stomach. The old man lived long enough to tell what Jones had said just before shooting him. For six years the trial dragged on. and again and again Jones escaped with a mistrial. For some myster- loua reason the-prosecution was ubt able to get together 12 men Who thought the main should suffer the penalty of his crimes. Finally The prosecution got a change of venue to Lexington county, and there, after a hard fight, he got a conviction carry- iny a sentence of 20 years in the penitentiary. - Jones has bee*a well- behaved convict, and the usual com mutation due to the fact accounts for his release in the next few weeks. • apart as of toe i jcfsuiP Crashed to His Death.
