J. n. Williams, Floresvllle, Texas.
"I have used Ayer's nalr Vigor for

Be bad gone to the home ot an.nncle on

" And yon say I killed Chase t "
" That's the charge.''
"Thank heaven I I'll go with you

He was lodged In Jail and everybody
believed him guilty. He bad no parents,

were so disorganized that he mode but

Chase was known to have hod about fchU

He had to admit that he was eeen near

and on his return to town his olothei
were torn and muddr. There was Just
one point In th case where we were
lame. Chose weighed 180 pounds, and
Talbot was a dapper little fellow who
didn't balance quit 128. He bad no
mors muscle than a woman, and the
question was how ha got the body from
the road into the thleket There had
been rain the day before, and the gronnd
was soft.' We found the prists ot feet,
rouging np lnn ltietant.' "Why, sir, I
didn't ebon dun know about It till artur
we had shoved oft."
" How muoh money did you get f"
" Not a two-bit piooe. eab. Ole Petitr
an' dat man Hutchlns dun said. dey would
keep it all delrselves, Dai's what de row
was about."
I had found who killed Chose. The
boy In Jail, who answered to the name of
Bam, said that two of tho men were attar
pig, when Chase oamo in sight, nnd the
plan to kill and rob him was formed In a
moment. They despoiled the body, hid
tt In the thicket, and got away uneven
arid unsuspected, I followed down the
river after the houseboat, but heard of It
at Parkersburg, only to lose It forever.
It had been run down by a 'oteamor Jtiet
above that. town in the night, and it was
believed that; all the crew wore drowned.
Bam, Itowovor, was all tlws witness
needed on the stand.
I was now sure that Talbol did not
murder Chose. Thoa where and how
did be get that money, where was he on
the day ot tho murder, and what crime
had he -committed to betray such signs
ot guilt It was ot no use to go to him
for pointers. Even when I told ,him
I oould clear him ot the charge ot mur
dering Chase he would give mo nothing
to work on. I therefore sent out one
day over tho rood where he had been
seon. I entered tho woods, beat them
up tor two mlloa on each side ot the road
and was about giving Up tho searobi
when my dog mado a discovery. In
thlokot to the lett ot a hog path which
lod oft the highway, and on broken and
stony ground, 1 found a lot ot human
bones. They had somewhat being pulled
about but the skeleton of a man
was there. There where shreds and
patches of clothing, a doten buttons, re
mains of a pair of boots, ana tbe iron
trameof a satchel was close at hand. The
hogs and the bnzsards bad eaten up
everything whloh they oould swallow.
Who was the man. No one was miss.
Ing. No one hod gone out from the ho

bag days there were many strangers
coming and going, and It wan no one's
business to watoh over them. Whether

have been that Talbot had decoyed blm
