Kuguu's only Htoiy of the crime, u slgm-d and wlttussed document, is as follows: On tin: s,i ()f June. U97, I, wltn Susie Graham, went fiom Hush to Kui'qui.hunn.i. whem we lived until November. 1S97; whllo living theio I worked ut whatever I could go; to do." I was taken sick with ! fewr In September, was sick for severil wo ka. While J was slik Susu talked i groat deal about the "Poppeis" nd tlielt money, and thut they had nil of their money In tho house, she wanted my to ifo nnd i ok them when I got well, but I lofu.sid to do It. It was whllti I was still unable to work that Shew came to the Ikiid-o to bo.iid. lino Hunuay after ho had been theio for two or three weeks, Susie told me that she was going to get Shew to go to Hush and inb Jackson Peppei. and that 1 must go with him. t dl.l not want her to say anything to Show, and said I would not go It she did, but ut dinner that day she told Shew and asked him to go and get the money. Shew tlist thought she did nut mean It, but she kept at him, nnd myself too, until we promised to go and see what We lould do. She had all kinds of plans and of loursc we all talked them over. All the plans wetc thut no one was to be hint and that If we could not get tho money with out, we weie to leave It. She wanted us to take chlorofoim, but wo would not, for fear wo might give too much. Miew nought a pistol and said we might need It In case there weie vls ltois at the house when we got theio. He said also that we must have some cord, which Susie said wo could get at the laundrv He and I went to tho laundry and got the tope on Min day night, and Sule and ho cut it up In shoit pieces, he putting the plece.c In the Inside of his toat lining. 1 can led the pistol as ho hud no pocket and I did not like the Idea of his having the gun. We loft Susquehan na on Monday morning and oet. IS walked to Hush at living theio in tho afternoon of Oct. 19. As soon as It was dark we went Into the road in front of Peppei ' houto. While we weto there we saw a man go to tho spring and then back to the house. Susie had given us a plan of the house and we were looxlng to see how near right they were. It was lold and vv were walking up and down In the road. While there a man (which w! afterwards learned was Jackson Pop per) came out of the house and turned some horses out of the barn and then went Into the barn. We went to the door and looked In and ho was husk ing corn. Shew asked me If I thought It was Pepper. I said 1 did not know, but thought It must be. Shew then said we must take no chances, but had better go In and tic him up and then go to the house. I wanted to wait till they had gone to bed, nut Shew would not. He said he would go In and tie tho man up nnd I could watch and tell him If anvone came. Show had had a club, but had thtovvi It away. He was to tune tile man bv the shoulders and tlitow him mid tie him. He went Into the bain and I went toward tho load. I had Just t cached the road when I heaid a blow. I went to the barn and went In. I then saw Show hit the man twice. I told him to stop and asked him if he wanted to kill the man. He said no. but 1 had to hit him. 1 wanted to get out of theie, but Shew said we could not leuvo the man like that, for hi would have the whole town after us befoie we hid gone a mile. Ho then took tho i opes nut of his cout and I helped to tic tho man: then we took the lantetu and put It out, as the man was beginning to come to. We then went out of the bain and talked about who the man was: we thought It was Popper, but did not know for sine. While wo weto outside we heard flf old man gioau. and Shew said that would never do end went into tho bain. I did not go In but the once. I tiled to get Shew awav, but he would not go. We went up and leane 1 agulnst the fence and I sot the lan tern down on the Inside of the sate. Shew went back to the bain again and then after awhile went in again. The last time he came out he said: "That man won't bother any moie for a while." Ho then wunted to go into the house. I would not go, and while we were talking a team came along and we left and I went to Skinners Kddy and to Sayre, and from theio to Susquehanna via the Kile. Shew did not Intend to kill the man and did not think he had done so until we saw an account of It In the paper. We weie pretty badly frightened when we '"ad thut the man was dead. We had told Susie about it und she called us a pair of fools for not getting .ao money. I did not think that unvone would ever find It out, for I know that Susie was at the nottoni of the whole business and had It not been for her Shew would never have known about the money. I felt peifectly safe my self, for I did not know that 1 could be bi ought into it as I had no idea they would try to put It onto mo, knowing thut they were more to blame than I, I thought they would keep stlil about it. I was urtestcd on a wan ant charg ing me with laieony (at Coventiyvllle, on Jan. :U, 1S&S) by T. J. McMahon, W. 1). H. and C. II. Alney. John Squlies, Jack Palmer, and Thomas Tibb. They bi ought me to Susque hanna and then W. I). H. Ainey, C. II. I Alney und T. J. McMahon brought mo I to Montrose. I asked them why they brought me to Monti ose and they said I would have to watt for loutt. When we weio coming over we weie stuck in the snow and weie likelv to tip over, when W, V. Ii. Aiiny and my self got out to walk (I was liaudcufftd to Ainey). It wus while we weie walking that Alnrv told mo ho had mo for tho inuulev of Jackson i'eppor und that he had a sine case against i me, but he said he would save mo If 1 would make a statement to him next inoinlng. He said he bad a I statemmt tiom Susie (haham and one . fiom Shew saving 1 did the whole thing, planning, killing and all, and that they weie like little dogs howi iug along behind. He said lie knew they weie not telling the ttutli, and 'f I would in. ike a stati'luent to him he would save me. He said he had It In his power to hang mo or ho could get me off pietiy easy. that he thought I was not guilty of the cilme. und that he would outline a statement and I was to follow him us near as possible I told him I would see a lawver tit. si: ho said If I did ho lould not help me and 1 was suie to hung unless I did as he wished.

When they stepped in tho ting, how- evet, McOovern'H face showed no traced of u rigid tialnlng couise, and as soon as thev shipped to tho bulf, each looked In perfect condition. Dixon fiom the tlist tap ot tho gong was on the aggressive, using a left swing Invariably us his lead, which Mcfiovcin cleveily stepped Inside of, and Tetry sent both hands lu rapid order to Dixon's lower vvoiks. Mc (iovorn's attack on tho body was a sur pilse to Dixon, as no boxer who ewr faced the negto was able to land on the wind, libs and kldnojs as did Me Oovein tonight.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, tonight made public a long letter he has addressod to the editors of the Journal and Adveitlser, Herald and Globe, of Boston, In answer A dispatch from Kreroi Camp, late to a speech made by Itepresentatlvo Sunday night, said all vvnq iiulct theie, Qulgg at tho Dssex club on tho last The wldesptcad hope that General Saturday night in December.

Senator ' sltlon at Colesherg. Gonernl Krunch Hoar takes the words quoted as his text, and says. In pan: "I wish to put against this stutement my emphatic denial. What I want the American people to do is to do In the Philippines exactly what we havo done, nio doing and expect to do In Cuba. We havo liberated both fiom Spain and we have had no thought at least I havo hud no thought of giving either back to Spain. I should us soon give back a redeemed soul to Sutan us give back the people of tho Philippine islands to tho uuelty and tyiunny of Spain. Indeed, since they got arms-, an at my and an oiganUatlou, I do not believe It would have been in tho power of Spain to subdue them again. Hut tho United States never, in my judg ment, should havo allowed her to niak.' the attempt. Having delivered them from Spain, we were bound In all honor to ptotect their newly acquired ltbetty ag.dnst the ambition or greed of any other nation on earth. And we weto equally bound to protect them against our own. We were bound to stand by them, a defender und ptotector, until their new governments weie estab lished In freedom and In honor; until they had made tieatles with the pow eis of the earth and were as secuie In their national Independence as Switzer land Is secure, or as San Domingo, or Venezuela is secure, "Now If this be u policy of skulking from duty, I fail to see it." Senator Hoar then proceeds at coi,. sldetublc length with detailed aigu ment In support of his position icla tlve to the Philippines. DOUBLE TRAGEDY. The Crime Probably Committed by a Woman.
