HARROWING CHAPTER OF SIN,
SORROW, AND SHAME ;
fall Particular.
Mineral Point Is an unpretentious little vil
lage, of say lliO inhabitants, situated on the
line of the P. II. H . about feven miles east
of Johtistom. Its location is wild and pio
turesque in the gorge of the Allegheny
mountains, vtrith far reaching trees in every
direction, acd rocks of niammotb proportions
for a background, lu th: village, er nigh
unto it, ou Friday morning of last veek, a deed
of blood was committed which, fur fiendish
nesa and utter aud entire diabolism, is not par
alleled even by the Uetsv Holder murder or
by the Paul-Munday slaughter.
tVe will give tSe par.icuUrs so far as they
have come to our knowledge:
A man named John Shrirer, a resident of
the vicinity of Mineral Point, was out (ox
hunting on the mnrninz of the day mentioned.
HeUells iu his testimony bclore tha Coroner,
how he discovered the body of a murdered
woman iu the weods, aud what followed, thus:
"Oil March 1st. I started arid g-ot the team to
haul wood : hauled two loads, and the third load
my dog- wont with me; put the borecs in the
stable and told my father I whs urningr after a
fo.x ; left with the liojr and went towards Mr.
CJicW's; wIicl 1 (fot there 1 heard thedosrin the
direction tho woman was murdered ; jrot there
about lialf-pust ten; stopped about one hun
dred yards from where the woman was; thedojr
continued on; had a pup with me. and Ire foi
lowed a man's track that led to where the wo
man was round; followed the dog- to where
some blood was ; found a piece of hair and two
hair-pins; the hair was liloodv ; think the deed
was done on the nhrht of the ath of February;
noticed the track of a man at that place autl
time,"
Mr. Shriver. who is a somewhat timorous
man, became frightened at the indications of
bloody work which he had discovered, and left
the sceae of the murder and went to South
Fork, a small Tillage a mile cr two away.
Here, se told the horrible story, and a party ot
five cr six, pioneered by Mr. S., returned to
the place Behind a pile of logs, a fire, which
had been kincMed during Mr. S.'s absence, was
burning. A sickeuing smell emanatod there,
fiom the smell of burning human flash. The
tire was extinguished and the brubb rakrd
away, heu the tody, or a portion of it, wrs
lound underneath. It was that of a woman.
j but burned to a critp, and not. to be identified
except Irom the formation ol the charted bones,
and a small portioa of the breast, which was
yet unburned. iioth legs bad been burned oil",
and the lemains greatly disfigured with blows
and slabs. Tho woman had beeu tenibly
beaten. Mid evidently had not yielded up her
life till her strength tailed. Around her neck
was the rraik made by aa attempt to strangle
her by means of a woolen comforter, a portion
of bieh adhered to the front part ol the neck
alter she was withdrawn from the fire. Lying
around ou the ground near the body was a pair
of spectacles, a full set ol artificial teeth, back
and aide combs for a woman's hair, aud a
small blue'fl utr. Tbe elotliiu which was not
consumed was neatly uiide, and from its char
acter indicated that the woman had been of
tidy habits. From her countenance, it was
supposed ske was about forty yeirs of age
There were no papers or marks upon the cloth
ing that furuished any clue to her identity.
Coroner J. A. Uairold was notified of the
murder, aud was soon on the ground. He
boxed up whatever was left of the remains aud
remorcd them to Johnstown, where, after a
preliminary inqtieat, they wtre on Saturday
iutei red.
r.iWr"' of 1oli" Irwin, of Pittsburgh, and
Chief of l'olic. ll.rr-... of Johnstown, were
put en the track of the tuunierw. w..rch at
the scene ol the horrible crime soon revealed
tbe presence In the snow of footmarks, appa
rently those of a man, and also . feotmarks of
a woman. An Lidia rubber shoe. No. 3, was
picked up doubtless one belonging to the
murdeied woman. The tracks were found to
lead from the vicinity of Mineral Point, south
east side, iu a directiou nearly at right angle
to the passenger station. The tracks were
close together, and it would appear as it the
noman and mau were walking with linked
arms. When withiu about twenty leet of the
point where the tragedy was consummated, the
impress upon a log showed that they had beeu
seated close together. The fiend, under the
guise of love or frloudship, kad doubtless en
ticed bis victim to where tbe eye of mau would
not see. snd, with a kiss ou Lis lips, but mur
I der in his heart, put her to death. But though
tbe eje ot man was closed to the perpetration
of the deed, the All seeing eye was not.
The trail wus followed fuither, and the foet
steps were ultimately traced to the house of
one Michael Meure, a notorious character liv
ing in the neighborhood. Tbu was on Sun
day. Moorw was not at home had goue
away. The detectives kept on the trail, and
on Monday, Moore wascaptuied at the bouse
of Patrick Kgau.neai Portage. He gave him
self up, aud was taken to Johnstown, where,
after full examination be was held for tiial.
He was brought bete at.d committed to ail
Tuesday night.
Michael Meore, the accused, is an Irishman,
about 45 years of age. He Las lived iu this
couu'.y a long lime, and has never enjoyed a
good reputation. Oa ChiUtmaa eve, 41), iu
a row which occurred at the "Foot of Five."
on the Portage lUilroad. ia thi couaty. he had
a personal reucontre wi:h one Putrick Daley.
The two were col m'mers or (Maker. Tte
result wss that Moore seized a bayonet and re
peatedly stabbed Daley iu the body. Toe life
of the latter was for a time despaired of, but
he rallied and lived, and survived two years.
For the crime, Moore was, Jauuary 9th, lt50,
arraigned before our Quarter Sessions on a
charge of "Assault and battery with intent to
kill ana murd.r." A true bill was fouud, but
the case was coutinued. At Oi-tober Sessions,
If 10, the 9th day of the month, Moore was
found guilty in m inner and form as be stood
indicted, and two date afterward was sentenced
by the Court to pay "a Hue of $5 lor use of the
Commonwealth, the costs of prosecution, and
undergo imprisonment in the couuty jail for a
pei 1 d of nine mouths. He wse eubsequertly
pardoned by Governor Win. F Johnston.- He
is said to have led a wild, reckless life, and
many are the sins of omission aud commission
attributed to him. His wives are three, if ru
mor speaks truly. Jiut, until be shall have
been tried for his life by a jury of twelve ol
bis peers, these rumors or facts should not be
alio a cd to militate aga.in.Bt luai.
The remains of tbe murdered woman, as we
have said, were burued so as to be uurecogniz
ablc. At first, it was thought that the victim
whs a Mrs. Ambrese, a milliner of Jebfistown;
then, the name of a woman of Altoona was
mentioned; and many other names were tug
gested in the same coancction. But it appears
to be definitely settled that the woman whose
life went eut in blood and groans aud dismal
darkness was a woman named Ann L7ole
one of the woaien whom Moore called wife.
We are not intimately acquainted with the his
tory of the woman Doyle, but have gleaned
these facts connected with her career!
Ten or twelve ) ears ago, a man named John
B. Davis lived ia this town. He wait a shoe
maker, and worked at that business for a time
for Hon. li. Jones He married a woman
named Deyle, wl o iived for a time at McDou
aid's Ebensburg Hetel. Subsequently, he and
family removed to Summerhill, where our
knowledge of him ceases. The wife of Mr.
DaVis was a sister of the murdered woman,
whose name was Ann Doyle. Anu lived in
this neighborhood during the greater part of
her lifetime, and at Sumucrhill met Moore, to
whoai the was subsequently married at least,
they lired together as man and wife. The
allegation is that Moere deserted her aud she
went to Philadelphia to lire. She returned
here in quet. if not at the invitaliou, ol her
husbaud. The result ia known.
P. S. Siuee the feregoing was written, we
learn t'.iat a trunk belonging to the prisoner,
and containing a number of letters, which may
be of value in determining seme blatters toa
live to the iudentification of Ann Doyle, alias
A tin Moore, has been found. At Johnstown,
on Monday, Moore handed to a prominent gen
tletnaa there a trunk check, requesting him to
keep it until be (Moore) called for it. The
gentleman to whom the check was given band
ed it over te the authorities. It was a check
for a trunk shipped at Tyrone for Altoona. Of
that trunk, which the authorities now have in
their possession, the Johnstown Echo ef the
present week has this to say:
"The trunk snoken of has been opened and a
hurnbef tf letters, pme of them written by
Michael Moore to Atttl Moore, Philadelphia,
were found. There were also some articles of
ladies' clothing? and a few trinkets at little val
ue. The trunk had been cheeked from Tyrone
to Altoona, and as it was not cubed for, it was
thought ndvixable to open it. In the possession
of Moore a check, calling for a piece of tmgryaire
to be shipped from Tyrone to. th&t city., wns
found. Htm thus the last link in a fortuitous
chain of circumstantial evidence ban bPfn sup
plied. There can be little doubt but that Moore
persuaded his wife to meet him at Tyrone, and
it only 8eeui8 strang-e to us that he would bring
her n to within a short disranee of his home
to accomplish his foul purpose."
Yesterday afternoon, a deputation of news
paper men, compiiain? rerresentative of the
FeiiMan, Hkbaid. Kcao.and N. Y. World,
waited ou the Sheriff to obtain, if possible, an
interview with the prisoner, Moore, but, in
accordance with the advice of bis counsel, Mr
Bonacker declined to grant the request, such
interview being deemed imprudent, for tbe
present at least. Whether or not this was a
correct view of the case is not for us to deter
mir.e From a person mho had access to the
cell of the prisoner we learn, however, that he
declares he was not in the neighborhood ef
tbe ac .ue of the murder on the day of its occur
rence; that be kad gone to Portage to get some
money due him; thai the womau murdered was
killed by some one else; that, in short, though
circumatance look exceedingly bud for him,
he m ill be able to easily establish bis innocence
when the proper lime arrives.
Tbe last wife of Mooie was in town yester
day. Her maiden name was McConnell. She
lired with the prisoner when l.e was arrested.
She stated that she was eutirely iguorant that
be hd been married before, and was shocked
at the report that she was one of thbke wives
to the same man. 9lie went hack to Mineral
Point last night, taking with Lcr some dirty
linen belonging to her husbaud.

In order to showr how business is done by our
"new Court," we feel constrained to make men
tion of a couple ot incidents:
Mu.i.y tftrnooii. when the traverse Jury
list was culled, a certain impumr i.ndior.1 of
Ebensburg, whose name was on the list, failed
to put in an appearance. He came in soon af
ter and made report. "Where were you when
your name was called ?" asked the J'udge. "I
was attending to some little matters of busi
ness," was the reply. 'Io you not know that
it is your doty," said the Judge, "to be here on
every and all occasions during the sit ting of the
Court." "Well." said our popular landlord,
looking the room over, "I notice that there's a
good many other Jurymen that hain't here 1"
The Judge is a teetotaler, else he would have
siuile'd. I'he juror in question has been a very
regular attendant at the sessions of tbe Court
ever si nee.
On the afternoon of the same day a witness
was called. He was in a delightful stateof ebri
osity. He bolted for t lie wit oen' stand with
out stopping to go through the little formality
of takiug tbe requisite oath. The clerk calltt'd
him back and asked him how be would swear.
Before answer eon 1.1 be made the Judge mildly
remarked : "You are fined i5 for being intox
icated when you are wanted us a witness to
stand committed till the flue be paid." The
walls of the jail encircled this unfortunate in
dividual for a period of forty-eight hours.
WetxKxow!! Facts. It never was a very
private affair, nor was ever any effort made to
conceal the fact, that drugs, medicines, per
fumeries, toilet articles, books, stationery.
Jewelry, fancy goods, cigars, tobacco, etc., are
kept In great profusion aud offered for sale
every xiny in the yetir at th popular and well
patronized Drug Store Of Messrs. Leminon tc
Murray. High street, Ebensburg. Instead of
these facts being a seerct, they are well known
to all, and everybody needing any of the goods
sold by the flrinuamcd will do well to give them
a call.

Mr. David Furner, a well known citizen of
East COiiemaugh. was assauitoft by a party of
roughs near the Lincoln House, in this place,
on Saturday iiigbt last, atid after being severe

injuries are very painful, but not dangerous
One of his assailants has been arrested and
will be brought to trial for the outrage. The
others, it is to be hoped, will meet a like fate.

Dear Frsemam Local items are very scarce
J 'is t now. The only occuirei.ee worthy of note
is a case of assault and battery, commuted on
your humble correspondent, "Soltero." The
paiticulars of thia affair are as fol'ows : Two
weeks ago in article appeared iu your paper
orerilie unique iiom de plume of "Ku-Klux."
The writer, doubtless actuated more by the
love of a little sport than anything else, gave
a burle-que notice of a ball which was to have
but did not come off in Wilmore some three
or four weeks ago. The production in ques
tion was iiot calculated to injure the feelings
of any peisn ol common sense. Among tlio
participants, however, were several "touch me
nots," who were silly enough to be offended
thereat. Prominent among this class was the
lady of ti.e house, who immediately blamed
the writer of this with the authorship of the
obuox'ous effusion, aud threatened to ''go fur
our scalp' at the first available opportunity.
Well aud good 1 Ou last Sunday, as wo were
emerging from chureh, this female pugilist
confronted us, end after a few insulting re
marks, S9saultel and bettered at us after tbe
mauner of a regular pr'zti 'lighter, str king us
t ice iu the face, aud only desis ing when we
interposed Our "strong right arm" and informed
her that if she did not desist we would render
a dental operation ou her behalf (necessary
Eeu after that ehe continued to shower Bil
lingsgate upoh us. and from time to time at
tempted to strike, bnt she fouud she Lad met
her match, and that it was a more difficult task
to take our scalo than it would have beau to
displace the artificial appendage which covers
the dull cranium of her tame husb.nd, who, by
the way, was an accomplice in the unwomanly
conduct of his " BTTka half."
It is not my intentiou to scathe my assailant
too severely, as the criminal court of the couu
ty will doubtlesj teach her that she cauuot at
tack an inoffensive person with impunity.
vSOLTCBO.
A Mormon os a Small SCAi.e. Says the Al
tooha I'ribune : In tbe year I8tf7 a joung man
giving his name as Harry Hann, with a half
dozen (Unites, was married to a young lad' iii
Philadelphia. Some two yearecubsequent tothe
marriage thex'ouple moved to this section of
the State and took up their residence in White
township, Cambria county, the husband being
employed by a lumbermun In that locality.
Some months ufter they bad made White town
ship their home, Mrs. Hann was taken sick and
was sent to Philadelphia tor medical treatment.
It was not long after her departure until all
communication between thecouple ceased, the
former refusing to support a wife who had been
twice married to hiiu -the llrst time by a Pres
byterian minister, and afterward by a Catholic
priest, in order to effectually tighten the matri
monial knot. Peeling lonely after a few months
of "single misery,"' Hann leftCambrla county's
m.untiii for a visit to this city, and at Capt.
Compilers hotel, tm Tenth avenue, mot u
racstic mimed Lizzie Priee, from the vicinity of
ltoarin-r Springs, this county. The acquain
tance soon ripened into intimacy, followed by
a sleigh ride and a quiet wedding, w ith the
wedding supper at the hotel referred to. Hann
then returned to Cambria county with wife
No. 2, w here it is reported they dwelt together
in unity until a few days since, when wife No.
1 put in an appearance In this city and prefer
red a charge of Bigamy against the doubly
married scoundrel. Cleaning information that
Hann was In Altoona for the purpose of llaeing
from an unpleasantness of a different aspect
which recently transpired in Cumbria county,
a warrant was issued for his arrest and placed
in the hands of Policeman Hazzard, and on
Monday last the arrest of the Bigamist was
effected in the vicinity of Whiskv Kow. When
arrested Hann requested an Interview with the
proprietor of the hotel, to which the policeman
acceded, when the former made a desperate ef
fort to escape by jumping out of a window in
the rear of the hotel and taking a rapid depar
ture down tenth alley. The policeman gavo
chase and soon succeeded iu the re-caiitute of
tho prisoner, wljn was taken before Alderman
Durbin, of the Fifth ward, for a hearing. At
the hearing the individual who had been so well
married seemed extremely penitent for the
course be had pursued and begged the forgive
ness of Wife No. 1. but tho latter would not
listen to his piteous appeals and seemed deter
mined to let tbe law have full sway in the pre
mises. In accordance with the evidonee elicited
at tbe hearing A Merman Durbin Committed
the Mgamlst to jail, at Hollidnyshurg-, to which
institution he was taken in the afternoon.
Previous to his arrest Hann attempted to sell
a horse, which he rode to this city, for the pur
pose of raising sufficient money to meet the
expenses of a trip to Baltimore. It. was also
elicited at the hearing that Hann was In posses
sion of an additional wife residing in tbe State
of Maryland, to whom be was married several
years since.
Never, in the history of Inventions, has an
article bounded into public favor with the ra
pidity of the Domestic Sewing Machinei
Agents who have been in business for years,
and who know what a good sewing machine is,
pronounce in its favor.
In fact, the General Agents havesoniany ap
plications front old and eaperieneprt canvass
ers, that they ncarcely know who to choose.
A sample album of work done on this tnaobine
which is furnished to agents is really as much a
work of art as a fine painting. Such delicate
purling, tucking and ruffling on fabrics light as
air. such exquisite embroidery ef birds and
flowers, such beautiful stitchihg and quilting
on the fiuest satin, besides elegant samples of
hemming and felling, together with every kind
of sewing on every kind of goods, was never
before dreamed of.

.COMMUNICATION'S.
Hemlock, Pa., March 4, 1872.
Editor of Cambria Freeman In looking over
the columns of your paper a short time ago I
found a communication fi-oiu tnine person who
is evidently anxious to gain a little notoriety
by getting himself iu print, and in order to ac
complish that had to get a subject, which he did
in the person of the collector and treasurer of
the school district here. All this would have
been well enough hud your correspondct.'af
ter Uiuling his subject, just confined hihtsrrf (t
a plain statement of facta. This be ha failed
to do, his whole letter being a base fabrication
from beginning to end. lie is not a resident
of Slabtow. as be terms iu to begin with, and
is bimply doing' the citizens of that village au
injustice by saddling on tbeleohimunity a state
ment which there is not a limn among them but
Would Ecorn to make. Unlike "Civis," they at
tend to tbetr own affairs, and have no time to
blander Hieir neighbors. The residence of the
collector iu Pittsburgh is but temporary, as
"Civis" no doubt very well knows, aud the fact
f him being interested in business iu an nd
joiniug couuty does not by anv means iuak
or lix his occupation there. "Civis" should
have had intellijf once euough to have known
this, or ut least been hharp enough not to have
exposed his ignorance by such an assert ien.
Tht simple fact of a man being entrusted with
f ho funds of a school district don't prohibit him
from being engaged in business outidc of said
district, aud no person of common sense would
make this a churge uaitist him. To mv certaiu
knowledges the collector of this district has no't
been outside of the county one week in u mouth
during the entire winter, ntr Iras there been an
order preaented to hint by a. teacher that ban
not been paid ; aud; I venture to sny bore, that
there Will not beolie bresetitcd that w ill not be
fiaid so long as there is a dollar of school funds
n bis hands. "Civis" says tbe citizens of the
district are pressed for the tuxes. That is an
other lie. One half of the citizens have not yet
paid their taxes, and 1 dare say, if "Civis" is a
taxable at all, he is among tbe number, and I
have yet to hear any of thein complain about
being pressed. There is no doubt the teachers
need their money, and some of them get it be
fore they earn it. I f any farmer has exchanged
produce lor school orders, as "Civis" asserts, it
is because be had tuxes to pav, aud the order
whs money to him. while at the same time the
other party was accommodated just as well as
if he had presented the order to the treasurer
and received his money, as he might have done,
and then paid cash for the produce. In re'gard
to the question of interest, I have only to say
that there bus not beeu a dollar of interest paid
Do a debt contracted by-thc School Board since
the present treasurer bus had charge of the
funds. Hl3 lust assertion is too contemptible
for noticei
In conclusion, I have only this to say : The
present treasurer wus born aud reared in the
district, is well known to every citizwn in it, and
if his reputation for honesty aud integrity had
bad not been above reproach it is net like.y
that a school bchird composed of houest, upright
and intelligent gentlemen would have entrust
ed him with the funds. Unlike most of his pre
decessors! he is reudy and willing tt settle up
the affairs of the district and pay every dollar
that U duo the district at any time he may be
called uport fur that purpose, and w ill still have
funds enough left to go Into business outside
the county, should be I bin k proer to do so. If
any one doubts my statement as to the allega
tions in tbe production from Siabtown. I would
refer him to such gentlemen as F. M. George,
Km.. P. Mc-tiough, li.!., Mr. John Hamilton,
the School Hoard, and others, who know all
about the affairs of the district.
. A word or two more. I would modify the
motion of "-Civis" by forming an independent
district and moving -Civis" into it. I have no
doubt it would b more satisfactory nud lots
troubletouio to the citizens genti jilly.
Faih Tlav.
Johnstown, March 5, 1872.
Kilitar freeman For some time past I have
thought of writing to you on a subject fraught
w-ith vital interests to fully three-fourths of
the Inhabit Hiits of this city and neighborhood.
It is that of the 7'an-.( ,uteiH. Von doubt
less saw iu the last Evh a petition to the State
Legislature praying for the abolishment of this
monstrous, iniquitous system. It is no empty-,
slily grievance that could call forth a petition
signed by our leading and most respected men
of nearly every branch of business.
ur case is simply thus: A man has to work
before a scorching furnace or dig deep ia the
inincstfor two months before he call draw one;
cent of what belabors hard for. He then, at
the end of the second mouth, gets onr month's
pay, le-ss the amount charged on bis pass-book.
The Company re-tnins the other month's wages
and by.that mean-are enabled ti carry .on their
mammoth store, the money there invested be
ing lawfully due to their workmen. Is this fair,
honorable or just ? The public sa? it Is not.
The very system is illegal and in order to evade
tho law the Cambria Iron Company give orders
for (jtiuls on Wood, Morrell Sc Co., which is just
thesumcasif Jack gave an order on Johi. or
Jim on James, for the C. I. Jo. hold the same
relation to Wood, Morrell & Co. as Jim does to
James, or Jack to John. They are one aud in
divisible. The Pasa-Book System not only crip
ples the progress of our towu, but it is calcula
ted to make bad and extravagant housekeepers
of the men's wives who are compelled to use
them. This and some other things I will show
in my next. In the interest of the laborer, the
mechanic and the merchant I ask you to insert
this. ANTI-MONOrOLIST.
Awfuti A certain man (we don't like to
mention names.) told it iu one of ciir town
barrooms last week, that he heard it from n
man in the Post Office, who had it direct from
his younger brother, who had beard a little
girl talk about it iu school, who said she beard
her grandmother tellingone of the neighbors
that she bad overheard oile of the boys telling
the story confidentially to one of bis chums,
whom be assured that he had heard from a man
who heard it from his grandfather's ceuisin,
that a certaiu married man and a certain mar
ried woman, livii.g in the upper end of town,
were observed talking confidentially togett er
about 9 o'clock in the evening, at the gate of a
certain house not many squares from a certaiu
other gentleman's residence. Tbe story, after
passing through some very respectable(?)hand8
was traced by one of the Chief Slan. Ex. Com.,
to the above reliable source, and is as a fair
sample of the ridiculous reports afloat in all
towns.
