Washington, D. C Tho circum stances which led up to tho Imprison ment of Harrison Hatfield for killing his wife wore made public horo by Post Ofllco Inspectors following his death In the penitentiary at Mounds vlllo, West Va. Hatfield was a member of the no torious family which was Involved for years In a feud with the McCoys. Ho lived near Horsepcn In the mountains of West Virginia. Ho was widely known as "Old Hatcher" and was a leader of tho Hatflelds in tho McCoy Hatflold feud, which raged in several counties on tho borders of West Vir ginia and Kontucky. Ono of his eyes was shot out during n raid which tho Hatflelds made into Kontucky sovcral years ago. The Hntflelds owned largo areas of land in West Virginia from which they realized consldorablo money. "Old Hatcher" deposited $2,854 in tho Guyan Valloy Bank at Logan, West Va. Subsequently, having nood of tho monoy, ho authorized Alexan der H. Trent, Postmaster at Horsopen, to direct tho bank to forward tho monoy to him by registered lotter. Hatfield called at the Post Ofllco re peatedly for tho registered letter, but when It arrived, on Aprlll 24, 1007, ho had left the ofllco only a short time before to assist an intoxlcatod man who could not sit astride his mule alone. Hatfield directed Post master Trent to take special care of tho letter, lest It be destroyed by flro at tho Post Office. Early the following morning tho post ofllco was destroyed by flro, the contents of the samo alone being saved. Hatfleld'B lotter was not In the safo. Postmaster Trent declared he had placed the lotter with the ordinary mall, all of which was burned. An investigation of the fire and of the disappearance of the letter was made by Post Office Inspectors. It was discovered that Postmaster Trent had once obtained a typewriter from a Chicago concern by fraudulent rep resentations, to which hp confessed. Later, Trent and.j.hls father were in dicted for having stolen tho registered letter. Trent finally confessed tho theft and made propositions looking to the refunding of tho money. Ho produced from a Jar hidden under his barn the sum of $1,280. which, with $500 ob tained from his bondsmen, was turned over to Hatfield. Trent was convict ed of tho crime, but he escaped from Jail and Is now a fugitive from Justice. Becoming Insano from worry over the loss of his money and tho sud den elation at the recovery of a con siderable part of It, Harrison Hat field poisoned his wife, who was an Indian woman. Ho was sentenced to the penitentiary for life, and thoro he died. It was not until his death that the Post Office Inspectors felt Justified In revealing all the facts In the case. IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
