Footprints m the snow led away from the barn to the road, and were measured by a resident of Rohrsburg, These prints were made by a square toe boot or shoe eleven inches long bv three and a quarier inches wide, The Inquirer reporter and myselt searched the entire barn in an en deavor to find the implement with which the murderer pried open the door or find any trace ot a gun, but after straw and other material was turned over nothing could be found Securing a piece of the coat lining used as Run wadding, I then began to investigate the movements of Jacob Ev?ns, the discharged farm hind, on the night ot the murder, fcvans is employed by a farmer named Wesley Bowman, about four miles from the scene of the murder. Mr. Bowman bears an excellent reputation. Satur day night, February 2, Mr. Bowman states (and his story is corroborated by his wife), Jacob Evans retired at about 8 o'clock. Mrs. Bowman was suffering from neuralgia that night and slept barely an hour. Evans could not have left the house without her hearing him. . There is no possi bility of him getting out of the window without jumping about twenty feet to the ground. His clothing was care tully examined, and none of this con tained lining to correspond with that used as wading by the man who' shot Thomas McIIenry. I sewched, with his Dermission. his room. His shoes and boots are too large for the sire of the boot or shoe that made the tracks in the snow near the McIIenry barn A gun in the Bowman house is an old-fashioned muzzle-loading nile, Around the triccer is tied a piece of white cord, placed there by Mr. Bowman before Thanksgiving Day. This gun has not been fired tor sev eral months. Evans has not spoken to Mrs. McHenry since his discharge. Mrs. McHenry 's story of the shoot ing is as follows : "I was awakened by the baby crying, and then heard the latch of the back door down stairs drop. I called to my husband and asked him where he was going, and he replied that he had heard the horse pawing, and 6tepped out on the back porch, when the noise ceased. He came back and evidently got into bed. He was sleeping down stairs and I was sleeping up with the children, so I cannot say whether he went back to bed, but shortly the noise was heard again, and he was dressed and came up stairs tor tne lantern, giving me the lamp he carried. He had scarcely passea out of the house when 1 heard the report of a gun, and Thomas cried out : 'Alice I ra shot! Harold came running from his room after me. As I reached the steps lhomas came running towards the front of the house and to the front gate and dropped on his face. I asked him why he did not run into the house, and he replied that he was afraid he would be fol lowed into the house. The neighbors began to arrive as I picked him up, and I remember little after that." Harold's story substantiates that of his mother. I learned that McClellan, who bears ... tilt. an excellent reputation, naa ieii Hazleton Saturday evening and arrived in Bloomsburg at 6:43 p. m., and was driven as far as the road leading to Lightstreet. From there' he walked some distance ana securea a nae with the Columbia Laundry team to Lightstreet. At the hotel in this village McClellan alighted and con tinued his walk. He carried a grip and passed through Orangeville, over the iron bridge, reaching his home at about 10:25 oclock. He sat up talking with his father, mother and sister Rose until 1 1 o'clock, when the father and mother retired. He then sat up with Rose, talking until 12:30 a. m., when they went up stairs and continued in conversation until 12:50, when they both retired. The shooting took place at about 1:05 a. m. Harold, who only wore a shirt and one shoe, ran immediately and summoned his Uncle McClellan The boy is 8 years old, but by far the brightest person I met who could tell about the shooting. He saw no one near the barn when he ran out into the road. When Harold reached the home of his grandfather he ran in and upstairs. The first person he met was his grandmother.and then his Uncle McClellan. All the gossip about Saving W delicious and wholesome power . eo., ntw vomc. THE COLUMBIAN, McClellan is, therefore, absurd. The last point to cover after the neighbors had been seen for miles around was to proceed to Jamison City, where Thomas McHenry operat ed a sawmill, and wnere he spent six days out of every week. I found that Thomas was well thought of; he had no trouble here, and found no possible reason for any man to have killed him, with the exception that it was some one detected in tne act of robbing his barn. Rumors I found in plenty, but when traced to the original source the per sons questioned denied all knowledge of the statements. For instance, a person in Jamison City had heard a person in Bloomsburg say he knew who killed Thomas McHenry, and that an arrest would be made in a few days. When I finally located the person who, it was stated was author ity for the remark, he denied all know ledge of it. All opinions are of a sen sational order. When the murderer is apprehended, and this may be by mere chance, am convinced that it will be proven that robbery was alone intended, and that murder was committed as a re suit ot fear o! detection." We have learned from an authentic source that this report is in error in some of the details. McClellan and Rose did not have Siooo each in vested in the farm. They hold notes against their father, Samuel McHenry, for money loaned him at different times, but these notes have never been entered up as liens. The state ment that Thomas and McClellan had not been very friendly since the notice to quit was served, is not ac curate, as they had not met since that time, Clell being employed at Hazle- ton. It is also incorrect in the statement that the barn and vicinity had not been examined until after 1 1 o'clock a. m. A party of men were there with lanterns before 5 a. m. There have been some insinuations that the McHenry family know who did this deed, and McClellan's name has been connected with it. The only foundation for this is the fact I that there was some feeling over I money matters, but there could not possibly have been any motive for them to put Tommy out of the way, He was not operating the farm properly, and they had notified him to auit. so that it was not necessary to kill him to get him off the farm Tommy owed his father money, and Mad also procured the old gentleman's endorsement to the extent of several hundred dollars, and it was these things which the family wanted him to settle up, so that their father would be relieved from liability. Certainly Tommy's death was not desirable to them. They would naturally want him to live until he could pay the debts for which his father was bail.

Peterman died at his home in Sugarloat township, on Feb ruary nth, aged nearly eighty-five years. He was a prominent and highly respected resident otthat town ship, having lived there continuously since 1843. He was born in Benton township July 22, 1816, being a son of the late Jas. Peterman, who emi grate 1 from Germantown' to this county early in 1800. His father died when he was but three years of age, after which he made his home with his sister, Mrs. Young, until he reached the age of eight years. In 824 he went to Holmes county.Ohio, with another sister, Mrs. Silas Jackson. There were no railroads in this sec tion at that time and the entire dis tance was covered with a wagon and yoke of oxen. Four years later he was apprenticed with Archibald Bar ton, of Millersburg, Ohio, to learn the tailor trade, and after serving in that capacity for six years. Mr. Peterman went to Perrysburg. Ohio, where he enlisted as an agent in the fur trade to deal with Indians. Two years of this life was sufficient, and in 1843 he returned to Pennsylvania and located in Sugarloaf township, where he has since resided. In 1845 he was mar ried to Sarah Kile, daughter of Will iam and Mary Kile, unto whom were born eleven children, ten of whom survive, namely: S. J. Peterman, Yukon. Oklahoma; H. A. Peterman and Mrs. G. P. Fritz, Benton; C. B, Peterman, Shreve, Ohio; Mrs. Martha Cole, Bloomsburg; W. P. Peterman, Scianton; Mrs. A. E. Hess, Sugarloaf; B. E. Peterman, Akeley, Minnesota, and Misses Stella and Rhoda Peter man, at home. After returning to Sugarloaf he fol lowed the tailoring buriness for many years. He tilled the office of Justice of the Peace for twenty years, his re neated re election showing that the people had confidence in his judg ment. He was also engaged in farm ing until the infirmities ot age com pelled him to abandon it. He was a useful citizen in his day and geneia tion. The funeral was held on Friday morning, and the interment took place at Cole's Creek. BLOOMSBURG, PA. I. W. Hartman & Son. ALTERATION SALE IT'S GOING and dirt. Guess County men and women see it.
