successful, reaching Richmond safely
and, being shortly declared duly ex

Lee. In the meantime, however,
the Ordolfs heard nothlng.of him.—
We leave it to the imagination of her
sex to conceive 'the emotions, ever
varying from hope to despair, expo
rienceti by Mary, Ordolf under these
circunastanms. On the third of July,
1865, she was sitting on the root of a
huge oak which shaded the spring
house, thinking mournfully of that
day two years before, when the faint
ing Confederate fell at her feet ap
pealing for succor. In the midst of
these reminiscenses she thought she

And the long separated were once
more united. Within a fortnight
they were married.

Randall did not long remain with
his young wife—his business, he saitiv
calling him to Virginia—and he left
her with her parents' upon the pro.
text that ills home was • not - quite
prepared for her. He was absent
two months, correspondingregularly
withher, however. At the end of
this period ho came again, staying
some weeks, and again leaving her
on the same plea. These comings
and departures were repeated sever
al times, until Mary and her parents
began to suspect , that Randall, for
some reason, was either afraid •or
ashamed to introduce his wife to his
own family. Mary had been shock
ed to hear the gossiping whisper that
her husband had another wife in Vir
ginia, and she had to acknowledge
that his conduct was not above sus
picion, notwithstanding his plausible
assurances. On his last visit the old
farmer insisted that Randall 'should
at once decide either to settle down
there with his wife or to, take her
with him.—lrritatedby theapparent
lack of confidence in him, lie at once

explained why Mary did not write:

letter, causing the simple and conti-
Ordolfs much uneasiness. At

fmrs: "May heaven help you and all

The aged couple were heart-broken
at the loss' of their only child and
mourned with a grief that refused to
be, comforted. Ahl it was not long
before they would have thanked God
that their daughter's fate had been
no worse than they at first believed.
Tho eward - offered for the disaw
ery and apprehension of the murder
er of the woman had stimulated one
'man to a patient and ceaseless inves 7
tigation. He was a sort of amatuer
detective named Tinsley, who had
no special fitness for his self-assumed
office, except an intense curiosity and
a persistent brooding that something
would bring form and purpose out of
chaos. Ho haunted the spot where
the corpse was found, and meditated
upon all the circumstances of the PASO
with the dogged pertinacity of sta
pidity. A. brighter person would
have yielded the task in despair, but
his very dullness kept him at it, and
at 'length gave him a clue that he
slowly but steadily followed' up,—

day found a chignon of coal black
hair: ' The dead woman's hair was
auburn, and when found she wore a
chignon of the same color. Close to
the chignon lay a piece oftsiuddy pa
per. It proved to be an old letter,
dated "Near Gettysburg, Pa." It
was simply addressed to "My dear
husband,' and was signed "Your af
ffictionate wife, Mary." Nobody but
Tinsley would have attachedany im
portance to these discoveries, but it
bean his his habit of mind to refer eve
rything to the thing in hand, ho at
once believed that he bad found - the
key to the awful mystery. Yet how
easy was it to account for the• pres
ence of those things there! Hun
dreds of both sexes from far and near
•had visited the noted scene, and it
was probable that some of these had
lost the chignon and the letter. Tins
ley, however was not at all impres
sed with this view of thematter, and
he thought it worth while to go to
Gettysburg and inquire for "Miry."
He dld so. It was a *eery hunt,
and' would have seemed a fool's er
rand to most people; but 'at length
Tinsley got on the track of "Mary,"
and he pursued it till he was welcom
ed by the Ordolfs as a friend and a
neighbor of—John Randall! He al
ready knew enough to convince him
that John Randall's wife • was the
murdered' woman found near Bee
ville,.andthat John Randall was her
murderer. He had already seen the
minister. who married them, and now
be read Randall's letters, written
since the helliiffi deed, and he thrilled
with horror at their cold blooded du
pikity and atrociousness. The evi
dence was appallingly overwhelm
ing. We cast a veil over thesceue
that occurred . when 'Tinsley told .the
old; bereft couple Urhathebelleved to
be the true story' of their daughter's
end.
- All BeevilJe and the country arou rul
was amazed when it was announced
that John Randall was arrested for
the murder. It was incredible. Ills
character was excellent both as a
sea and soldier,Und he was noted for
his abstinence not only from the vices
but from the ibilics into which young
men commonly faU. Yet when all
the damning developments
to
it seemed impossible his
Quilt. As he bad once been high In
public estimation so now he fell like
Lucifer. The popular indignation
rose against him like a tempest, and
-he was- hreatened with thesummary
vengeance of an excited mob.
On the trial it was positively estab
lbrhed bithe identification of clotti
ngtux' ornaments that the dead WO
man was Mary Baddall, once Mary,
Ordolf; that the prisoner married her
lu 1865, and had since strangely kept'
that fact a secret, not only from his
acquaintances at Beeville but from
his own family ; that, in short, ho
brought her to Virginia and was last ,
seen with her in a carriage driving,
through )3eevUle on ,the Sunday we
have already noted ; that at the hotel'
on thelSiatuniay night before, he told•
his wife that he intended next day to
take her to his uncle, whose house she
never reached; that he was engaged
to be married to Indiana Randall,
his, cousin ; and that he had cruelly
duped te Ordolfs into believing that
his wife had come to a natural.deatii.
There was a cloud of other testimony
to thesarne effect, and though he was
eloquently defended, the jury did not
hesitate In returning a verdict of
"Guilty of murder in the first de
gree."
When asked if he had anything to
say why sentence of death should not
be passed upon him, Randall sim
ply answered :
"Nothing,"
His counsel appealed, but in vain—
besought executive clemency, but
without avail. The day before that
set for the execution of the condemn
ed man the following communication
appeared in the Ileeville Gazette: .

On the day of execution Randall :s
counsel published a card, in which
they said:
"Thecomniunleation in yesterday's
Gazette signed "Justice," indirectly

self, and were aocordiftglyabandoned
by us.
Randall was hanged in accordance
with his sentence--dying without
confession or denial.
After the execution the sheriff for
warded to Mr. Ordolf a sealed letter
from Randall, written on the eve of
his death. We give an extract:
"I did not do it, nor consent to it,
nor know of it until the awful deed
was done beyond remedy. I would
willingly have sacrificed a thousand
lives for her, as I now sacrifice life
anti reputation to screen the one who
Is really guilty. With Mary perish

that lam the murderer of our dar
ling. Oh, I adjure you to credit the
when I swear here in the presence of
God and eternity, that I am innocent.
Mary, who knows me guiltless, will
meet use joyfully beyond the tomb."
Indiana Randall was said to be a
raving maniac. From the first ar
rest of John Randall she had ex Wit
ited symptoms of a mind unsettled
by the weight of sudden and over
whelming grief. Her family gave
out that the tom of her lover under
fearful circumstances had temporari
ily affected her mental health, and
friends and acquaintances were re
quested to forbear their visits until
her recovery was announced. She
was seen rarely, and then under the
closest serveilance. As the day of
Rtmciall's execution approached, it
was rumored that she grew worse,
and on that day it was whisperedllult
she was so violent as to require strong
restraint and constant watching. And
it was so. She . was mad, but there
was a terrible method in her mad
ness. She sought to break trout her
confinement and rush to the place of
execution. She shrieked aloud avow
als of her own guilt and declarations
of the innocence ofJohn Randall. She
Prayed to be permitted to die in his
stead. Alas, poor wretch 1 she was
already beyond the vengeance of the
law. Could her guilt have been es

condemned.

gone to see his wife, perhaps to re

for his coming back. Constantly alone
in these watches, I managed to get
one of John's pistols from his room,
and thiS4 carried with me, but only
for self fence. I met them that
Sunday afternoon, and my soul was
in a tumult of emotions as John ac

wife. Ills,wifel Yes, I knew it was

" My dear child," said her very

Thus she raved of her real or

giving now a whereat version, as
plausible as it was astounding, and
anon a confused Jumble of impassi

and incredulity.
'fhestliffold from which John Ran
elan had been launched into eternity
was still standing in the . jail yard,
when one night, close on the stroke
of twelVe, the guard beheld with ter
ror the noisiess approach of a form
arrayed in white. Awed to silents:
by the apparition, the guard watched
its motions with breatidessattention.
Entering the yard It proceeded at
once the scaffold and mounted it. In
a few moments the staring guard be
' held tbe figure suddenly sink through
the platform to the shoulders, where;
after some convulsive motions, it re
mained stationery. To that guard it
was the ghost of Randall, and he fell
fainting with alarm: In his hell his
musket was . disc:tuned, and this
bringing theJaiter and others on the
scene, it was speedily discovered that
the ghost was a woman. Eluding
her guardians and providing herself
with a cord, Indiana Randall follow

An Explanation orate Drawback

We have heard a great deal about
the drawback frauds in New York,
during the last week, - without a very
clear conception of the system under
which they are perpetrated. The
gtb,

.aged their n 1.• awl .les in the
Custom House. -About 1862, the
' Times says, a law was past imposing
an internal revenue tax on articks
manufactured, with a provision that
if any of the articles were afterward
exported, an amount should be paid
to the exporter equal to the amount
previously paid as tax. This was
called a "drawback." In order to
have a d rawback claim reougni4ed,
an exporter is required, in the first
place. to procure a certificate front a
collector of internal revenue, show
ing the amount of tax paid on articles
to be exported. After this; was ob
tained it was necessary to make an
affidavit in regard to the goods, slit
ting their destination, the name of
owner etc. When the export teas
made, the exporter applied to the
drawback department of the custom
house for a certificate, or outward
bound manifest, as it is designated,
certifying that the goods had been ex
ported, and giving certain informa
tion about them and tae vessel wh ieh
carried them. It was the duty of the
clerk to make out the manifest and
to attach his initials or name to it as
evidence of its genuineness, incorder
that it might sulasequentiy be indors
ed by one of the deputy collectors.
Upon the internal revenue certificate,
the affidavit and the custom-house
manifest being produced, they went
to the Auditors' office at Washing
ton, going from there to the United
States Treasurer, who issued a check
for the amount of the drawback claim.
now TUB FRAUDS WERE PERPE
, TItATED.
The scheme for.swindling the Gov,
eminent by fraudulent drawbacks
commenced as. far back as the fall of
1866. The parties engaging in it pro
cured false certificates from the Cus
tom House that the goods en u mended
in the claim hail been exported.
There are about four hundred of thew
fraudulent certificates in the posses
sion of the Government, the whole
number, being made out so as to ex
cite very little suspicion as to their
genuinentss: They are signed with
the initials of Charley J, Theriott and
SamuelT. Illatchford both of whom
were clerks at the Custom House in
1866'67 ntid'6B, one belonging to tho
drawback department, and the other
to the export statistical bureau. In
ternal revenue certificates were also
forged by subordinate dishonest offi
cials. Some of the claims were for
sums of several thousand dollars, ono
being_ as high as $9,000. In one in-
Stance the accused parties put in a
claim for drawback money on a num
ber of steam cars, in their affidavit
stating that the latter had been ex
ported In a certain ve....ssel. If the car
go had been real it would have been
of sufficient weight to have sunk the
:vessel.
IT is rather a singulor coincidence,
that two of the kadlng candidates
