AN UXEXre TEI CLUE. a stoby of cipct:mtantiai. evihence. As the Kev. John Cmitr as ivtiirninfT I home to Wost'iii-Super-Maro, in tho west of ; England, on thr night of September 12, 18.11, he wa accosted by a young man in the garb I of a sailor, who atked tho time. It was nine j o'clock, and there was sufficient light to ena ; Me the clergyman to take a good look at the sailor. lie was above the medium height, j j with a smooth face, dark curly hair, and a i j small scar above the left eyebrow. lie car- j ! ried a thick stick in his right hand with a dog's head of. the top. The clergyman rode i on, and the sailor pursued his course in the j same direction. i i Soon after daylight on the morning of i Sept. 13Lh, James Uuller, a wealthy resident of Weston, was found murdered in his bed ! room. lie was a widower with one daugh- j tcr, Emily, aged eighteen, a very lovely girl. Mr. Buller's skull had been fractured with j some blurt instrument. The desk in his : room was rifled and some three thousand I pounds steriing were missing. I A search of the premises disclosed the fact ' that some person had entered by a small ; balcony from the garden. Then" were marks i of footsteps beneath and soil was on the bal- : cony. Among the bushes in the garden was ! found a stick with a dog's head for a handle, ! which was covered with blood and hair. The fact came to Mr. Craig, who testified that he had met the young sailor the night before and that he carried a stick precisely similar , to the one found. Thi-re was no doubt that j the fatal wound had been inflicted with the j stick, for the hair on the top of it correspond- ' ed with that of the murdered man. j Constables were sent off in pursuit of the ! ; supposed murderer. He was traced to Hris- , ' tol ; but there the officers lost sight of him. : j Several ships had sailed early that morning, ! i but whether the young man had left on any , ! of them could not bo ascertained. j ! Those were not the days of steamboats ' and telegraphs, and all the authorities could ; ; do was to wait patiently and see what would j I turn up. - : I5y the death of her father Emily liuller j had become heiress to his etate, and as the j i will specified that in ca-e he died she should ; come into possession of the property at the ! ; age of eighteen, was virtual! mistress of a ! splendid domain. She received several offers j I of marriage, but rejected them all, and kept : within her own dwelling. ' j Soon strange things were wliisperd I around, and at length it was openly said that , . the young lady at the Oaks, as the dwelling j , was calied, would become a mother. This j event did actually happen in June, 1X32, ; ! much to the surprise and consternation of ( ' all respectable people in the neighborhood. j Immediately after the child's birth she had j i him christened Charles Hansom, and an- ! 1 nonnccil that she had been sei ietiy married ; I to the. father, who bore the same name. Who he was or anything about him she refused to ' : tell. I ' One month later, that is in July, ls.;2. a ; ', person was arrested in Bristol answering to i the description of the young sailor who was : ! supposed to be the murderer of Mr. Ituller. : i The Dovrr Castle, a West Indian trader, had ! ! just arrived in port, and he was captured as ; j he put his foot ashore. Investigation show- i j ed that the Dover Castle sailed from Hristol j ; on tiie morning of Sept. 31, lsii, the day af- i ter the murder of Mr. Bailer, i The young man, who gave his name as ' i Samuel Carter, expressed surprise when told 1 he was arrested for minder, but when in I formed that Mr. Iiuller was the victim he ! sank to the earth, lie solemnly averred his j innocence, but admitted that lie had in his keeping on the day of the murder a stick with a dog's head handie, and said that he j had lost it, he didn't know where When confronted with Mr. Craig the lat ter instantly identified him as the sailor who h.ad met him near Weston on the night of the crime and asked him the time. There was the same smooth face, the dark, curly hair, and the scar over th? left eye. It was proved that ho had left the Dover Castle with the stick in his possession the afternoon preceding the murder, and that he did not return until four o'clock the next morning, his excuse being that he wanted to snend the last night at home with his rela tives. It was also shown that his sluvs were du-,ty, as though ho had been walking along a country road. Carter persisted in his denial of ;ill knowl edge of the murder, but was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. What h id become of the money taken on the night of the murder was not disclosed on , the trial. The very day on which Carter was sen tenced the Sheriff of Cloucestei received a letter from the manager of a bank in Exeter, Devonshire, saying that just about the time w hen Mr. P.ullcr was murdered a man who gave the name of Crafts deposited 3,000 in the bank, saying that he was going to start business in Exeter as a saddler, and his father had advanced him the money. As it was not usual for r stranger to deposit so large a sum in notes, the manager examined the notes carefully. lie found that they had been counted and arranged lo;i at a time, and between each lot a small piece of paper was placed right in the centre. On one of these scraps there was w riting, and with a care peculiar to the manager he hail placed the scrap in a small drawer with other like odds 1 trA r-js. i'arlrg re 1 fro ro the drawer a few days after, he saw the slip of paper and the name "Ruller" written out in a bold hand attracted his attention. lie had just read an account of the trial which was in progress In Gloucester, and the singular facts he was j narrating struck him as important. They'were deemed so important by the Sheriff that, instead of ordering the execu tion of Carter to proceed within five days, the Court deferred it for thirty, in order that inquiry might be made. fViftc it traa fni ii .1 lio.l fantlir f.rAyin n ' suririiorv in n cir,.t ir. Tr,,, itu ! nie. w .,fei,.i .i ! looking personals' were seen to tm in and I out. The scrap of paper was identified as part of a letter written by a lawyer in Tiris- tol to Mr. Buller. j On October 27th, 1S32, the detective, who j had been summoned from London to inves- tigate the Crafts matter, called at his sad- i dlery store disguised as a farmer. He in quired the price of certain harness, and bought a pair of hames. Back of the store was a room with a door, the upper part of which was of stained glass. While the supposed farmer was counting i out the money ''on a leathern purse, ano'her j man entered the store. He was short and ' thick set, and looked like a wagoner. Over ! his shoulders was some harness, which he i threw on the counter. 'Mister," he said to the saddler, "have i you any objections to my looking at that col- 1 lar right back of you?" j "Xone whatever," said Crafts. "Come j round and examine it." i The last comer walked round the counter and appeared to be examining the collar. Cr.tfts was counting the money just laid out by the farmer. T . . ... . in an instant me man back of him pinion- farmer in front thrust a pistol into his face. I "Utter a crv, or move, or give the least ! signal, and 1 II hlow your brains out," said the farmer. The man In the rear drew Crafts' hands behind him and manacled him. The fanner still pointed the pistol at his head. "Make all sure," he said, and the wagoner dexterously slipped a gag into Crafts' mouth j and tied it behind. i "Now march," said the f irmer, "and see 1 you don't make too much noise." Tho farmer pointed to the door. The ' wagoner turned his prisoner toward it and ' the farmer moved along with the pistol still j ready for use. The farmer opened the door, ; and the next moment the saddler was in the ', clutches of two men outside, who placed him in a coach and drove off. Another coach ! was standing by. ' "Now, then," said the farmer, and he and i the wagoner re-entered the shop. Then the j farmer knocked loudly on the counter. : Presently the door in the rear was opened, ! and another man came out. "Come, man," said the farmer, "we'll steal all your money out of the till if you don't look out." The new comer descended the few steps to , the simp, and looked around as though sur- , prised at Crafts' absence. "Let me look at thoe stirrups," the farm- ' er said, and while lie was examining them his companion asked to look at the collar Vie- hind the man. Permission was given, and in a few moments the second man was in the same position as Crafts h id been in a few minutes before. Manacled, gagged and threatened with instant death if he resisted or gave an alarm, he was le i out, placed in the charge of two men and driven olT in a cab. "Now," said the farmer, "we can go right . for the other fellow." The two men entered the store and walked to the rear. Each carried a pistol ready ' cocked. The farmer brought his body to bear with full force against the door and ! burst it in. A man sprang from aconeh at the far en 1 ; of a long, badly-lighted room, and made a ' rush for three pistols which lay on the table. : "Hold !" said the farmer; "move but an- ' other foot and I'll shoot you like a dog." Tiie man, nothing daunted, seized the nearest pistol. The farmer and his compan- 1 ion fired simultaneously, and tho man fell with his arm broken. Then the two officers, ' for such they were, seized and bound him, ! and he was removed as the two others had been. ! The dete.-tiyos had ascertained that these ' three men were notorious thieves, burglars 1 and murderers, who had taken every precau- 1 tion to prevent capture. In a series of years ! they had operated in the midland counties j and escaped arrest. A former associate had ' informed the authorities that they had re- I solved to kill any officer who attempted to j take them, an.I for that purpose wore con- j cealed weapons, and kept them close at hand. The London detective had vowed he would 1 capture them without their having a chance j to injure him, and he had devised the plan which had proved so successful. i But the most important fact was that these ; i three men were proven to he the perpetra- tors of the murder of Mr. Buller. In their ' possession were found documents missing : from Mr. Buller's desk on the night of the j murder, a-id moreover Crafts was easily ; identified as the man who deposited the three ! thousand pounds with tho slip of paper ' bearing Mr. Buller's name. j They were tried, convicted and sentenced j to be hanged, and the sentence was duly ex- ; ecuted. Now comes the explanation of young Car ter's connection with this strange history. Miss Emily Buller had been at school at Bristol, where she lived with an aunt. There she made the acquaintance of one Charles Bansom, a handsome youth a few years older than herself. They were secretly married and immediately separated. Soon after this Bansom quarreled with his stepfather and went to sea. After an absence of over a year he returned, and found means of see ing his wife. The very last Diglit of his stay on shore he went to Weston, and was secret ly admitted by her at the very window by which the burglars and murderers subse quently entered. Leaning against the window, he left his stick, intending to recover it on his quitting the premises. On his leaving his wife, soon after two o'clock on the morning of Septem ber 13, 1831, he missed the stick, and could ; een his watchful pastor all the time. not imagine w here it had gone. He returned j - to Bristol, went on board his ship, and sailed, ' A vntsn i.ady was sitting with a gallant utterly ignorant of what had happened at the young captain in a charmingly decorated re Oaks while be was under its roof. . cess.

An old tract : saJ's the jury of twelve was adopted because the propnets were twelve, the apostles num.- j hered twelve, there were twelve Jewish judges, twelve pillars of the temple, twelve j patriarchs, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve stones in Aaron's breast-plate, twelve gates of Jerusalem, twelve months of the year, and twelve signs in the zodiac. In a'l times the number twelve has been regarded as an im portant number. In early ages the oath of twelve persons was necessary to convict.

I slept soundly until be- tween three and four, just when the day was beginning to 'ireak. I had been awake fur a short time, when suddenly the door of my bedroom opened and shut sgain rather quickly. I fancied it might be one of the servants, and called out, 'Come in. After a short time the door opened again, but no one came in at least, no (.no that I could see. Almost at the same time that the door opened for the second time, I was a little startled y the rustling of s"me curtains Tie longing to a hanging wardrobe, which stood by the side of the bed; the rustling con tinued, and 1 was seized with a most uncom fortable feeling, not exactly of fright, but a strange, unearthly sensation that I was not ahine. I had that feeling f..r some minutes, when I saw at the foot of the bed a child, about seven or nine years old. The child seemed as if it were on the bed, and came gliding toward me as I lay. It was the figure of a little girl in her night dress a little tin with dark hair and a very white She came slowly on up to the top of the bed, and I then saw her face clearly. She seemed in great trouble; her hands were clasped, and her eyes were turned up with a look of ', entreaty an almost agonized look. Then, slowly unclasping her hands, she touched me on the shoulder. The hand felt icy cold, ; and while I strove to speak she was gone. I felt more frightened after the child was ; gone than before, and began to be very anxious for the time when the servant would make her appearance. 'Whether I slept again or not I hardly know. But by the time the servant did come, I had alino.-t persuaded myself that t lie w hole afT.iir was nothing but a very vivid nightmare. How ever, w hen I came down to breakfast, there were ninny remarks made about my not looking well; it was ohseiveii that I was pale. In answer I U M my c i;- ;i:s that I had a iim-t vivid r.iu'.tiiiaie, and 1 remarked, if I wasa believer in ghosts, I should imagine I had seen one. NoM.ing more was said at the time upon this subject, except that mv ho-t, who was a doctor, observed that I had better not sleep in the room again, at any rate not alone. "So the following night one of n.y cousins slept in the same room w ith me. Neither of us saw or heard anything out of the way during that , night or the early morning. That being the cr.e, I persuaded myself that what I had seen had been only iungiiia tion, ai.d, much against ever. body's ex- . pressed wi-h, I insisted the next niiiht on sleeping in the room auain, and alone. Ac- ' cording'v, having retired again to tiie same loom, 1 was kneeling dow n at the bedside to say my piayeis, when -xaet'y the same dread as before came over me.
