MoxosfGAHELA ClTV, May 19. Will
iam West, the colored man 25 years old,
was this evening held for court by Justice
Jotm Holland on the charge of murdering
John and Umily Crouch and their son
Andrew on May 13. Little that has not
already been published in The Dispatch
tras developed, but it was considered ample
for the holding of the prisoner. District
Attorney Parker conducted the hearing.
The city was filled with country people all
day. and there was much excitement.
The hearing was not held until this
nfternoon, owintr to a question as to
jurisdiction. Before that time some
new and nearly conclusive proof of the
4 guilt of William Wett was developed by
'Squire McCormick and Burgess French, of
Beutleysville. It was the story of Thomas
Coyle, a farm hand for Mills, living north
" of the Crouch place. McCormick, French
and Dr. A. X. Booth, under orders from
District Attorney Parker, went to Bealls
ville yesterday to disinter the Crouches and
examine their stomachs. The Burgess of
Beallsvillc and the cemetery directors re
fused to allow the disinterment. The object
was to ascertain whether the murder oc
curred before or after supper McCormick
aud French came here this morning to con
fer with the District Attorney.
It being rumored that Attorney Mcll
raine, for the prosecution, would contest
Mayor Houston's jurisdiction, it was deci
ded to avoid that possibility. After the ar
rival of the District Attorney and Detec
tives Glenn and Kornman it was decided to
bring a new suit. Mayor Houston, at 10
o'clock, dismissed the case before him and a
new iuformation was made before Justice
John Holland, the charge being the same as
in the other case, murder. There could be
no doubt of the territorial jurisdiction of
the justice.
wouldn't give ur the boy.
Homer Harvey, of Brownsville, with
whom Annie Brundage lived from 1881 un
til February 20, lb90, came here this morn
ing and tried to get the woman to give up
the boy, Lindley, who is 7 years old. The
woman refused to do so.
The inquest was begun at 1:30 p. M. in the
City Hall. A great crowd collected out
side, and there was a severe crush at the
door. It was out of the question to admit
all or even half of those who pushed and
shouted to get in. Justice Holland con
ducted the hearing. West was brought up
from his cell wearing a cutaway coat
taken from his trunk. He was very
nervous, rubbed his hands together and
cracked his knuckles frequently.
Mayor Houston announced the change of
jurisdiction, and Justice Holland read the
complaint. During its reading West looked
steadily at the Justice, and when the words
regarding murder were read his lips and
eyelids quivered. He breathed heavily.
, Ann Brundage watched her lover almost
breathlessly. The examinations were con
ducted by District Attorney William S.
Parker. The main points in the testimony
were as follows:
Dr. K. E. French testified that the necks of
all three of the murdered people Mere broken.
'Squire David Mitchell told ot the alarm
given last Wednesday morning by joung Craw
lord, and described his visit and entrj Into the
house. As he spoke of the murdered people,
their positions aud the bloody club. West bit
his lips, aud frequently opened aud closed
them. His lips and throat seemed to be dry
and parched, and he swallowed frequently.
When 'Squire Mitchell entered the house, at 9
A. M. Wednesday, the bodies ere stiff. The
bureau drawers in the bedroom downstairs
.were all drawn out some distance and their
contents mussed.
HOW THE BODIES WEEE FOUND.
Alpheus Crawford told about the same story.
He and -Mitchell searched for tracks in the
yard and the road, but found none. Crawford
tola of one harvesting time, when West and
Andrew Crouch went to the house together
and got money with which West paid the har
vesters. On Wednesday morning the front
door was locked and the kitchen door un
locked, dn Tuesday, ('ran fid said, ram fell
from 2 to 3 and from 4 to 4 15 o'clock. Harry
Crawford, 12 5 ears old. repeated his story of
rlndm? Crouch's dead bod on the morning of
Wav 14, about i.15 or 9 o'cl. ck. When he went
to the home the dog was in the jard, but did
cot bark.
MrE. Jemima Tinlcy. living three-quarters of
a mile from the Crouch house and nearly due
north, tuld of sceinc a tall man hurrying across
the fields at about 4:15 o'clock Wednesday aft
ernoon. She said a hard rain was falling, and
the man was at least 200 yards distant, lie
wore a dark hat and a long black coat, and ho
had a cane in his right hand. He was a "dark
complected" man. but she could not say if he
were a negro.
The hat, coat and cordurov pants found in
Beaver Falls were produced. District Attorney
Parker asked that We-t put op the hat and
coat. Attorney Mcllvaine refused to agree to
that 1'etective Kornman. who is six feet rail,
put on the hat and coat. Jlrs Twle said:
"That don't look like the coat the man had on
that I saw. I think it was longer." West stood
up. Mrs. Tinley said: "He looked to be about
as tall as that man."
Jilts Jane Jones said that when she was at an
upstairs window Tuesday afternoon, she saw
the sheep running in the field. Looking out to
see why thev were running, she saw a tall man.
with dark clothing, hurrying across the flcld in
a northeastern direction, fcuo watched him out
of ight. a distance of about a quarter of a
mile. She onlj saw West once, and said that
Bhc did not know him when she saw him. He
n ent toward feaulters' woods, in thp direction
of the Creek road rather toward Hctherinc
tonV As the day was cloudy and the ram
heaiy. he could not tell the man's color. It
was about 4 o'clock.
FUTING TnE SHOES I!T THE TRACKS.
William Greenlee, a young roan living two
miles ucrth or Bentleysville, told of the fitting
of West's old shoes into tracks across his fath
er's oat field, by Officers McCleary and Korn
man. Tne tracks were large; some rain had
made them faint, but the shoes fit as closelv as
possible. He felt certain that shoes of "the
came size as thoe tried made the tracks exam
ined. The big. long, flat, mud-covered shoes
were produced and identified. The tracks
were first noticed by witness' brother Joe, a
few minutes after 5 o'clock on the evening of
Way 14. The field was soft and the tracks were
deep, so that their outlines were plainly to be
Been.
Captain Martin Coulson, the proprietor of
the Keystone Stock farm, described West's
passing his place at 6.30 or 7 o'clock on the
toning of Slay It He positively identified
en as the man. His story was given in The
Dispatch of to-day. West did not seem much
fatigued and was walking fast. He carried a
bundle. Captain Coulson was shown the coat
found at beaver Falls. He said he thought
the coat West had on was longer.
James Kearnev, llnng between Coulson's
and this city, saw a colored man pass nis house
a short time before 7 o'clock. He could not
recognize the man, but he was walking l cry
rapidly.
Mrs. Harriet Gamble, keeping a boarding
linuse on Hail road street, told of West and the
woman remaining over night at her bouse,
from May 14 to IS. When West came, about 9
P. SL, he wore a Derby bat, a long black coat
and brown corduroy breeches. Next morning
he changed clothing, after a trunk was brought
to the house. West wanted to go north on the
7 o'clock train in the morning, and Mrs. Gam
ble got an early breakfast. Then West said he
would go after his trunk because his wife
wanted to change her clothing. West said he
lived at the far side of Washington county
close to Greene county. Thev left her houo
about 11 A. M., Ma 13. The "witness said that
West had a satchel with a paper parcel
t-iraiJiieu 10 us sine. During the night she
heard West and his woman
TALKING 2TEAKLY ALI, NIGHT.
The woman said: "We have been visiting
five weeks and spent S150. Will drew some
more out of the bank yesterday, and he has f 1, 400
w orth of property." Attorney Mcllvaine spent
a long time cross-examining Mrs. Gamble as to
the satchel. She maintained positively that
there was a satchel, and that West carried It
sway with him, but she could not tell its color.
When West came to the house his coat was
torn under the arm. Next day, a lew minutes
after West and the woman and boy started np
the railroad track toward the depot, she saw
West pass the house alone, walking down the
tracks carrying the satchel.
Finley Bedsworth, of Bentloysville, said that
he last saw John Crouch alive at about 1 o'clock
on May 13. He was helping Andrew and his
father to put a harrow together and afterward
was harmwing. It was about 2 o'clock that ho
last saw Andrew alive.
George Wilson, baggage agent at the Monon
gabela Citv depot, said that West came to the
UCJIUb ID gd U15 UUUH . ttwwu , -"."J -
The trunk arrived from Pittsburg on the 6:09
train, on May 12. West was at the depot that
evening, pointed out the trunk and said he had
lost the check. Wednesday morning Wilson
did not oe West, but the woman checked the
trunk away.
Harry Mains said that when he putthe horses
in the barn, about 2:15 r. 2i of May 13, and had
unharnessed them, one of them ran out of the
stable and when the other tried to follow it fell
and got fast in a stalk After It was helped up,
Andrew let both horses out into the pasture
field. When Mains got home and asked his
wito what time it was, she said it was about S
o'clock.
Charles Hoover, of Allegheny, said that on
May 12, at 3 P. M., West came to him In the
Allegheny market and handed him a note
signed by the name of Ilasil Barker, who. West
Baid, was his t ncle. The note was an order on
Hoover for St 50, which Hoover paid to West.
GOING AFTEE HIS TKUNK.
The latter said that he wanted the money In
order to go to Quaker Valley to got a trunk bo
had there, and was then going to work for his
uncle. Barker, at tuo bead of Butcher's Run.
Next day Barker said the note was a forcery,
and refused to pay the money back.
Hon. George V. Lawrence, of Monongahela
City, said that on Friday last West said in the
jail that.be never saw the Barker order before,
and that Hoover's story was a lie. Mr. Law
rence repeated the 6tory which West told him
of his wanderings in search of Espy's house on
May 13. Ibe witness said he thought West
ought to know that country well, aud he was
ratner surprised to bear him talk a Bout gettiuc
lost. West could not give any definite infor
mation about his trip, not seeming to know the
country. About a month ago West asked Mr.
Lawrence to help him get a note of his cashed.
It was for $05, indorsed by John West and an
other man. Mr. Lawrence thoucht the In
dorsers were good, and he helped West get the
money. Since then he had learned that both
the indorsers declared their signatures to be
jorgeries.
Hugh Kav testified that fie met West on the
street here May 13. between 8 and 8 o'clock, and
that he had a black satchel. Thomas Coyle, a
farm band on the Mills' plaee, north of Crouch's,
was called. It was difficult to secure his testi
mony, as he is very deaf and has an impedi
ment in his speech. He is a short man with
a long brown ueara. .tie saiu ne was oui
in the field between 4 and 5 o'clock of
Tuesday last, when he saw a long-lecged,
dark man carrying a satchel in his left hand
and cane in right, walking with all his
might across one of Jones' fields, northward.
Officer William McCleary described tne ar
rest of the prisoner at Beaver Falls on May 15,
his return here and bis statements concerning
his indefinite wanderings on the day of the
murder. Officer John Glenn, of Allegheny, de
scribed finding the long coat and hat in tho
attic of the Nickel Plate restaurant at Beaver
Falls. The articles had been identified by
Annie Brundage as being those formerly worn
by West.
HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
This was considered sufficient evidence
and Mr. Parker asked to have the prisoner
held. Attorney Mcllvaine said he thought
the testimony wholly insufficient, but he
was willing ior the case to go to court
Justice Holland then held the prisoner to
court without bail. He was returned to his
cell and will be taken to Washington to
morrow morning. Annie Brundage will
beheld as an accomplice and will also go to
the county jail.
After the hearing was concluded the boy
was taken from the woman and given to
Homer Harvey, the father. Harvey took
the child this evening to Brownsville.
Coroner James F. Kennedy has decided
to disinter the Crouch bodies to-morrow and
make an examination of'them.
A FEW COMPLAINTS.
District AttorneiJParker expresses him
self as satisfied with the case, but further
investigations will be made. He says he is
hampered because he has not a county de
tective, such as Allegheny county employs.
Officers and citizens declare their, intention
to make searches for the missing satchel
and treasure.
There is much complaint among the
farmers and even city taxpavers in this
region because the County Commissioners
have not offered a reward for the Crouch
murderer's conviction. Some who think
West guilty hold that there should be in
ducements to search for every clue. Others
who believe him innocent, are still more
clamorous for a reward. Even the officers
admit that the evidence so lar secured is not
enough to convict. HASSLEB.

NOTED ROBBERY CASE.
A Story Full of 'Dramatic Features
Being Rehearsed at Findlay.
CHARGES OF POfcOSIHG MADE.
Master 'Workman Powderly Acquitted of
the Charge of Conspiracy.
ALL THE NEWS FROM SEAEBI T0WKS
IS FECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH. I
Findlay, May 19. The trial of Henry
Kibler, Jerome Kibler, Charles Morgan,
Levi Fox, Albert Decker, John Long, Tuck
Hughes and Charles Bates, well-known resi
dents of the county and city, under indict
ment for being the principals in the now
famous Oman robbery, began in the Court
of Common Pleas here this morning. This
is the most sensational case in the criminal an
nals of Northwestern Ohio, and has attracted
attention all over the country on account of
the dramatic features it has furnished from
time to time.
On the night of February 2.18SS, while Wesley
Oman and his family were sitting around the
flro in their frame house, six miles south of this
city, the door of the room was suddenly broken
in and eight masked men rushed upon the
iamily and bound and gagged them. Thoy
then demanded 2,000. which Oman had re
ceived a few days before from the sale of land,
but which ha had deposited in a Findlay bank.
DID NOT BELIEVE HIM.
This he told the leader of the gang, but it was
not believed, and a 4-year-old son was taken
and held over the fire until his feet were blis
tered, the object being to induce the father to
disclose tho hiding plaee of the money and
sava his child from further sufferinc. This fail
ing, they took S1S0 belonging to Oman's
father, and rode away, leaving the family
hound and gagged until morning. Oman sus
pected some of his neighbor of the crime, and
employed Detective Lowe, of Toledo, to work
up the evidence.
The detective had collected testimony suffi
cient to secure an indictment when ho was
suddenlv taken ill and died shortly afterward
in great agony at tho Humphrey House in this
city. A local detective, Henry Strickler, was
then employed, who procured the indictment
of the men whose trial began to-day, but two
weeks ago he became suddenly ill with symp
toms similar to those which carried Lowe to his
death and In a short time. he. too, followed his
predecessor to tho grave, thus putting out of
tne way two pi tne mate's most important wit
nesses. SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN TOISONED.
It is charged that Lowe and Strickler were
both poisoned, but as no anal sis of their re
mains was made this will probably never be
proven, although it will be charged by the
prosecution.
When the trial began this morning tho de
fense were represented by 16 of tho best attor
neys at this bar. and the selection of a jury had
not been finished when court adjourned this
evening. The defense will attempt to prove an
alibi, but it is hinted that one of the accused
wdl turn State's evidence and disclose the
whole conspiracy to rob Oman, and the details
of the snhsequent efforts to get rid of the two
detectives, bhould these expectations be real
ized tho case will sustain Its sensational feat
ures to the close.
The jury will he sworn to-morrow morning,
and tho taking of testimony will begin at
once. Over 150 witnesses are to be examined
and tho courtroom will be crowded.

Trial Comes to nn End.
J rjtCIAL TELEOBAM TO TDK DISPATCH-. 1
GREEKSBuno, May 19. T. V. Powderly, J.
R. Byrne and Peter Wise were this evening ac
quitted of the charge of conspiracy preferred
by tbo Hon. Edward Callaghan, of Scottdale.
The case was taken up at 1 o'clock this after
noon, and it was given to the jury at 5, and a
verdict was returned at 0. The costs were
placed on the county. The main portion of tho
testimony of the Commonwealth was given by
Callaghan himself, andwas a-reiteration of the
story as given the public from timo to tlmo
since the beginning of the tronble. Letters
that had passed between Powderly and himself,
and columns rrotn labor journals, were read,
charging each other with unfaithfulness to the
intere.-ti of the K. ot L., and it seemed that
the charge of conspiracy was lost sight of. Mr.
Powderly testified that he knew nothing of the
prosecutor, and that he never conspired againsc
him; and that be had never been in tho county
before. He stated to-night just before board
ing an east-bound train that he would not enter
suit against Callaghan on any charge, but in
turn would lend that man his sympathies.
The case created a great deal of interest, the
courtroom being crowded during the trial. Mr.
Powderly was defended by Senator Bobbins
and James Bcacom.

ANCIENT AND MODERN.
DOX'T BE DUPED.
A so-called "Webster's Unabridged Dic
tionary" is being offered to the public at a
very low price. The body of the book, from
A to Z. is a cheap reprint, page for page, of
the. edition of 1847, which was ia its day a
valuable book, but, in the progress of lan
guage for over forty TEARS, has been
completely superceded. It is now repro
duced, broken type, errors and all, by a
photographic process, is printed on cheap
paper and nimsily bound. It is advertised
to be the substantial equivalent of "an 3 to
12 book," while in fact it Is a literal copy'
of a book which in iU day was retailed for
about $5, and that book was much superior
in paper, print and binding to this imita
tion, and was then the best Dictionary of
the time instead of an antiquated one. A
brief comparison, page by page, between ths "
reprint and the latest and enlarged edition
will show the great superiority of the latter.
So honorable dealer will allow the buyer
of such to suppose that he is getting ths
"Webster which to-day is accepted as tha
Standard and THE best.
There are several of these reprints, differ
ing in minor particulars, but dos'x be
duped, the body of each is a literal copy of
the 1847 edition.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Tne New York Times says:
"Only those who are ignorant of the
great advances tbat have been mads in dic
tionaries are likely to bay thi3 reprint at
any price."
The Americas Bookseller of New
York says:
"The etymologies are utterly misleading,
and naturally so; for when the Webster of
1847 was issued Comparative Philology
was is in its cradle. The definitions are im
perlect, requiring condensation, re-arrangement
and additions. The vocabulary is
delective, same of the commonest words
of to-day, especially scientific terms,
for which a dictionary is most often
consulted, being entirely absent. In not
one of these three prime requisites of
a dictionary 13 the "Webster reprint a trust
worthy guide, or, rather, it is a misleading
one. This 'reprint' is not in
tended for intelligent men. It is made ex
pressly to be foisted by all the arts of the
book canvasser on those who have been pre
cluded from a knowledge of what develop
ments lexicography has undergone during
the last forty-two years. This is the crnelest
feature of this money-making enterprise."
The Buffalo Ciiistiax Advocate
says:
"Don't be Duped. Thousands are, or
are likely to be, by the flashy, fraudulent
advertisements of 'The Original "Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary, which is offered
for three or four dollars. If any
of our readers wish to invest in a pur
chase which they will be likely afterward to
regret, they will do so after being duly
notified."
The Journal of Education, Boston,
says:
"Teachers cannot be too careful not to ba
imposed on, since tbe very things which
make a dictionary valuable in school are
wanting in this old-time reprint. Any
high-school dictionary which can be pur
chased for a dollar and filty cents is worth,
more ior school use than this."
Many other prominent journals speak in
similar terms, and legitimate publishers
write us in strong condemnation of this
attempt to ioist an obsolete book on the
public.
The latest and the best, which bears
our imprint on the title page, has OVEE
2,000 paces, with illustrations on almost
every page.
