FRIGHTFUL MURDER,

MR. & MRS. BRIDE THE VICTIMS.

Arrest and Confession of tho Murderer.
From thi wtlllatnuport Osteite end
Ilulletln or
' Wo aro callod npon to rooord one
of the bloodioat and moat cold heart
od crimen ever coininittd in tlio
ootttitj of Lycomin'f. John M'Brido
and his nod wifo, Is.thellix, living on
what is known aa tho "Lnak Farm,"
on tho road leading from Nowhorry
to Linden, wero brutally assaulted,
it ia HiippoHod, on Tuesday evening.
Locution of the houc. Tho houso
which ia a plain old fisliionod log
atructuro, built many yeara no,
stands within a few hundrod yards of
tho publio highway, on tho achitH
aide, and is well know by all persons
in tho habit of traveling that road.
It is surrounded by trees and hih
weods tho fotiecs aro dilapidated,
and everything around tho premises
wears a choerlesa and forbidding up
pnarance mora liko tho homo of
want and penury than wealth and
abundance.
Imbella 3f Jiri.fr. Xv tho old
lady waa assaulted and strieken down
by tho rod handed murderer, alio
seemed to bo engaged about her do
tnestic duties in tho yard, aueh as
putting away tho milk for tho even
ing. Her body lay near cellar door,
her head resting on a pilo of stones,
and her gray hair was Maturated with
blood which ooaed from a wound just
back of tho right eyo.' Tho fatal bill
let entered near tho teuiplo and canto
out at tho buso of tho uono. Mho also
appeared to havo received a severe
stroke from a bludgeon, and tlio little
linger of tho left hand waa broken.
This was probably dono by tho blow
as alio threw up her arm in self do
fuuso. hho was probably over hovou
ty yeara of ago.
Appciiritnce of John .V Bri A.
Tlio old man, John M' Bride, who
is probably near seventy, was found
inside tho dwelling in a room appar
ently used as a kitchen and sleeping
uppartuicut, lying on tho floor wel
tering in his blood, which had flowed
freely and completely saturated tho
floor. Ho ueemed to havo been
strickon dowu uear tho kitchen table,
which waa covered with dishes and
cooking utensils in adiMonlered con
dition. Hut few evidences of a
struggle wero observable a few spots
of blood wero noticed on tho wall,
and a blood utain on tho table s min
ed to have been made by a bloody
hand grasping for support.
Ifjw the dmroiwri win iiuidt'.
Tho terrible deed of blood was dis
covered on Wednesday aftoruoon,
between two and three o'clock, by
Abram Newcoiuor, who wus passing
tho house in the direction of tho Lin
den railroad station, and observing
tho cattlo in tho yar I thought it rath
er unusual that they should bo pcnn
ed up at that hour. On making an
examination of tho premises he
found tho old lady lying dead near
tho collar door, as already described.
Horror stricken at tho sight of the
bloody corpse, and realizing that i.
dreadful criino and been committed,
lie hastened around to tho door of
the kitahen over the cellar tho house
atandinur on tho declivity of a hill
which ho found closed. As he tried
tho door a dog iusido commenced
burking but no ono appeared. Fear
ing the worst, ho at once proceeded
to tho nearest neighbors and gave the
alarm.
Examining the premiea..'Urm
Wagner, on being informod of the
raurdor, at once repaired to the house.
On seeing Mrs. M, iiiido he st irtod
for Mr. C'arothor8, and whon ho came
the party at once entered tho houso,
where they found tho old man It ing
on tlio floor, and tho dog on the bod.
Wound of the oil man. Ajnoa
aonger at onco hastened to the city,
and made information at polioo head
quarters, and had physicians dis
patched to dress tho wounds of the
old man. Dre. Crawford and Nutt
at once repaired to the scene of blood.
The old man, who waa insonaible,
was at onco placed on the bud in the
room where he had boon stricken
down, and his wounds dressed. Sev
en severe gashes were found on the
top of his hood, whi' h it was found
necessary to close with stitches. Af
ter a careful examination the physi
cians came to the conclusion that tho
Lakull waa not broken, and thoy cuter
tain hopes of his recovery.
The bloo ly club. la tho room
whore the old man lay was found a
hoavy club, made out of a young pine
aapling, about four feet in le.igth and
two inches in diameter, which bore
evidences of having boon freshly out
and with murderous intentions. It
was bespattered with blood, and sev
eral gray hairs were obaorvod adher
ing to the rough bark, which showed
conclusively that it hod been used to
da the bloody work.
The Coroner' 4 jury, Coroner
Goehrig, Chief of Police Coder, Dis
trict Attorny lliuman, and a number
ber of others were soon upon the
ground. The following jury was at
onee einpunuoled i John Piatt, fore
man, S. Coder, Osorge b. F.voa, J. C.
Carothora, A. K. Carothera and A. IJ.
Tata- After viewing tba dead body
of IaabelU M'Bride, hurried exami-r-'jon
cf a rortioo of tbe house wm
len, or if nny romaiund, as) tho old
pooplo were auppoaoi to htvo had
considerable in their possession, be
ing very miserly and not having
aulllciont confidence in banks to en
trust their funds to the keeping of
such institutions.
l'ndig the mwy. Tho jury ro
pairod to a back room, and opening
tho drawer of a bureau proceeded to
an examination. It waa not long
until they found money stowed away
in all manner of inconceivable way.
IJetween tho leaves of an old book
entitled "Tho t'omplcto Duty of
Man," ono thoutaud dollars in bills
ranging from livoa t ) twenties, worn
found. A small bag contained S?17K)
in paper t a roll of bills, Himglv,
stowed away, was found to contain
'.)!), and in a ninall red pocket book
!?l9t)acro found. Five ono dollar
gold piervs iiiHikI out of n small
and near by it $j .'If in silver change
was discovered. In another package
$1.7 AO, mndn up of gold and silver,
was found then $7 iu old fashioned
quarters turned up. Two dollars
and a half in silver aa found in an
other placo i then $'2 and $11 in
ono dollar gold pieeos. A small pack
age of Hiatal currency containing
$1 73 wus unearthed in a quiet nook
of tho drawer then $1 10 in small
change, and finally $20 in silver was
developed in another place. A largo
and handsome red p:ckct book as
taken out which was found compact
ly stulTod with bills in denominations
of lives, tens and twenties. Iu hur
riedly counting tho contents it was
found to contain $02i). A more ple
thoric pocket book is seldom seen.
A number of bills on old county
banks, long since passed out of exis
tence, wero uucarth'id; also numer
ous county orders uppearo I, aula
few counterfeit national bank notes
turned up, which had doubtless been
"shoved on tho misers. About
$'2. 1(H) in good money was found.
The variety of money stored away,
and the confused conditions of the
drawer and its contents, showed the
miserly disposition of tho owners,
nud how tenaciously they hoar led
their treasures, which they seemed
to guard with extraordinary care, at
tho same tiino denying themselves
the common comfort,. of life. In tlio
midst of plenty they apparently had

first mail to open tho door i found
M'Bride lying in his blood, and this
club on tho floor near him.
At this point t ho coroner adjourn
ed the itiquesitiou until nine o'clock
Thursday moruing.
When wa the Uel done? As to
tho time of tho murder there aro con
Hinting opiuiona The prevailing opin
ion ia that tho murderer visited the
place on Tuosday evening, and that
the victims lay undiscovered until
noxt afternoon. Tliia opinion is
strengthened by the fact that the old
peoplo were not in the habit of aris
ing iu tho morning at a very early
hour, and it ia hardly probable that
the ruffian would havo approached
the house with intentions of murder
and robbery iu broad daylight, and
within a lew ImndreJ yams ot tbe
publio highway, were wagons and
people are constantly passing and
repassing.
The fact that the milk crooks wore
fouud near where the dead body of
the old lady lay would seen) to indi
cate that ahe waa assailed ia the
evening aa ahe waa attending to her
cows. It is reported that some one
working in a field near by hoard a
shot ia the evening, which, if true,
tends to corroborate this theory.
Tho shot, however, did not aoeni
unuaual or auapioioua to him at the
time, m evjuirrel h-jvn . were fre-

tho coitplo wero soperatod, aa they
were generally soon together when
engaged iu their domestic chores.
It would Boom that tho shot would
have alarmed tho old man, without
ho was first pounced upon nud knock
ed senseless. In tho room where he
lay three guns stood behind the door
loaded, but it appears ho had no
timo to avail himself of their use for
defensive purposes
In 18V.) a disguise 1 party visited
this same house for tho purpose of
robbery. Several members of the
Lusk family resided there at the
timo, among whom was tho present
Mrs. M'llrido. When tho robbers
malj their appearance thoj gs bo
camo so boisterous th tt th'v wore
frightened away without obtaining
any booty. Tlio names of the party
engaged in thonir.iir afterwards came
tt at n trial for conspiracy, in which
a number of them wero engaged.
Th'ir-day mornimj.W'a again'
visited tho scene of murder and rob
bery this moruing. Tho inquest
coutinuod search for valuables, mil
down stairs found stored away iu
bureau and stand drawers several
small parcels of silver and gold, with
ono $ 0 bill on tho West Branch
Bank.
Money in small parcels, in purses,
pocket books, (Vc, all wrapped up in
paper or rags, was found in nearly
every drawer of four bureaus, iu tho
three rooms examined.
Ihrdi, f i.''!(iii'r., iC A num
ber of deeds and apparently valuable
pnpnra were found in these rooms,
while four old silver watches and
several pistol were found in tlio
j bureau drawers. Among tliesi were
'an old flint lock pistol, t which was
' tied a small muslin with it number of
