and Mrs. Dilion became rood and fast
friends. They lived together as sisters,
and peace reigned in the house.
On Saturday at 12 o’clock, the letter car
rier left a letter at the house bearing the
Bloom*>bury postmark and addressed in n
feminine hand to Mr. Dillon. It was
opened by Mrs. Dillon, who was dumb
founded at its contents. The letter wa*
signed Kettle Cross ley, and she inquired of
Mr. Dillon if such a man as William H.
Croesley lived in Macon. She said he had
abandoned her and his children, and xhe
wanted him published. If published, she
wanted a copy of the paper containing the
notice.
When Mrs. Dillon recovered from her
astonishment, she showed the letter to
Mrs. Croesley, who was loth to believe that
her husbanu could he guilty. The letter
was then sent to Mr. Dillon at the shop,
and ha turned it over to Crossley.
In the meantime, a warrant was taken
out before Justice Freeman for Crossley,
charging him with bigamy, and placed in
the hands of bailiff Moore. The build!
found Crossley In the afternoon coming
from his house. He seemed greatly
troubled and frigthened at the arrest, but
submitted gracefully. The bailiff allowed
him to get shaved and purchase
a few cigars. He was then taken
to Justice Freeman's office, where our re
porter interrogated him. He is twenty-
right years old, sallow coinplexloned,
wearing mustache and imperial and neatly
dressed in a suit of blue, lie seemed to be
in great trouble, shedding tears duriug the
interview. He said:
“This is awful and will break my heart.
When I read the letter I rushed home
from
>m the shop, expecting to find my wife
a pool of blood from a hemorrhage. .She
the letter, and she believed wliat I said
about it. No, the letter was written by
my own father. It was written in Macon,
forwarded to Bloomsbury and mailed from
there. I recognized the handwriting at
once. When I get out of this I will make
it warm for somebody."
Judge Freeman set the hour for a bear
ing at 10 o'clock this morning and com
mitted Crossley to jail. Before going,
however, Mr. Dillon, who felt a regard for
Crossley even though he know lie was
guilty, called on him and held a hurried
Ijtutiea and Gentlemtn: On the 23d of
fifty-nine years ago. the Mucon
hts as a military organization com
menced its existence. Macon was then a
hamlet, and the surrounding country,
now populous, had no other civilization
than that made by the Indians. The men
who composed the company at that time
were inured to more hardships than those
who belong to it now. From Butler's
History we find that the first captain was
Kdwa.*d W. Wright, and forty men com
posed the company.
‘ Since its organization the company has
had ita quarters in rented buildings. At
oec time the company met in a small room
nnd the drill room was the street.
Then it met in Washington
Block and returned to that building at the
close of the war. It then rented a room iu
Masonic Halt, moving Irom there to
Ayres's Hall, in the third story. For half
a century It has been occupying quarters
of this kind. The question of building an
armory was agitated and commenced by
buying this lot. At the time of purchasing
it we knew nothing of its history; but now,
on the testimony of our oldest citizens, we
find that the house which we tore down a
short while ago was occupied by Captain
Wright, the first captain of the company.
This Is a remarkable coincidence. After
buying the lot. we have commenced to
erect an armory that will be a profit to the
company, a credit to the citv and be a
place where we can meet our friends.
“And to you, gentlemen of the Masonic
fraternity, it becomes my duty to invite
you to lay the corner stone with the usual
ceremonies, which you can now proceed
with ”
Dr. J. Emmet Blackshoar, acting grand
master, replied as follows:
“Mr. Chairman, Ladirs and Gfntltnun:
The fraternity of Free and Accepted Ma
sons have, from beyond a period long
since lost in the remote mist of antiquity,

Carry no such message. Crossley then
asked bis (riend to take charge ot his
money, about $43. He was then taken to
Jail.
About 10 o'clock on Saturday night,
Justice Freeman, believing that the only
eridence agsln.t him was th* letter, which
was no legal evidence, and as Mr. Dillon
assured him that there was no other test!-
meny to bs brought out, concluded to re.
has* him from Jail on his own recognis
ance. This was done, though the Judge
would not have done so had he !>een in
possession of the (sets develiqied later.
Shortly after his release from Jail. Cross-
by went to his house and called M r. Dillon
out. He admitted the first marriage and
aaid he had done wrong. It was their fault
that be waa let loose, It would be Ids fault
if he was erer catnrht. He then asked for
bis clothes, money and pistol. These were

Mr. A. 8. Crossley, fatherof William II.,
the alleged bigamist, called on us last
night snd desired to correct that portion
ol his son's statement which referred to
his writing the letter from Eloomsburg.
He said be cam* to Mscon three months
ago with a full knowledge of his son's
cuilt. He came by tbesdvice of attorneys
In Bloomsburg. who thought some amica
ble adjustment of the trouble could be
made. As a parent, he did not want to
see his son arrested, neither did
lie want to know of his guilt, and
during the time he has been in Macon he
has endeavored to hare the matter aettled.
These etf'orts, on his part, always resulted
in a quarrel.
He knew nothing of the letter written by
William'a first wife, and which was re
ceived here last Saturday, ami when told
of his son's arrest, was reluctant to testify
against him, as he knew his evidence
would commit him to Jail.
Nothing has been heard of William since
his midnight departure.

An Almost Forgotten Murder.

Developments of the last few days
point to the revival of the Jacob Sha
tter murder, perpetrated in this city
two vears ago. It look* a* though the
whole matter will come to light In a
very short time, and the cola-blooded
...... in brought to justice, which will
be a great relief to our people who
have puxxled their brains over it no
Uttie. We hare always said and be
lieved that in due time all connected
with that diabolical crime would be re
vealed. God has ao decreed that inch
tiling* shall not be hidden long, even
in this wicked world.
