CLUVERIUS HELD FOR MURDER.

riXLXORAFHXD TO THX ASSOCIATED FBEES.j
Richmond, Va., March 22.—Tho cor
oner’s jury investigating the circum
stances connected with the death of Fan
nie Lillian Madison, whoso body was
found in one of tbe city roserroirs on tbe
morning of March It, completed their
labors to-nigiit. They were in session four
hours, daring which several witnesses
were examined to ucertain what connec
tion T. J. Cluverins, who is charged with
the murder, had with the affair. Tbe
most damaging testimony wu that of
William Tyler, colored, a night watchman
at tbe American Hotel, where Misa Madi
son registered u Mrs. F. L. Merton, and
stopped on the day before her body was
found. He positively identified Clnverlns
*s tbe man he saw in the hotel parlor with
a young lady at abont 8:49 o’clock. On
that night the prisoner, who wss brought
into the jury room so that tits witnesses
might look upon him, wore a reversible
overcost, and the witness said that on the
night In question Cluverins wore the light
•Ida out He wu repeatedly questioned
as to tbe identity of Cluverins with tbe
man he saw at the hotel bat bis testimony
coaid not be ibeken. Cept Epps testified
that when he served the warrant of arrest
on Clnverine the letter expressed astonish
ment and denied that he had seen Misa
Madison when he was in Richmond on
March 13. This statement tbe prisoner
repeated while on the way to this city with
the officer. The jury rendered e verdict
that “Fannie Lillian Madison came to her
death on the night of March 13 in tbe old
reservoir, end that Thomas Jadson Clave-
rlas wu directly or indirectly the cause of
it.” Cluverins has secured tbe service of
eminent counsel, and the trial promises to
be one of the most exciting held in Rich
mond in many years.

Jack's crackery factory on last Batnrday

a veritable and not unworthy disciple ot the
notorious Wiley Redding. It is
believed, among other thing*, tbat Brown

and is b diy wanted there for some of
fense, and again that he is tbe negro wlo
murdered a conductor on the Air-Lino

charges are not yet in, bat there seems to
be quite sufficient to convince any reasona

L. Brooks, a talented and much respected
yourg man, committed a sudden sol-
cide because of bis personal trou
bles and forlorn situation as to rel
atives and friends. It wa* a very sad
and unfortunate ending of what might

mv, too, might bars bees ••v*d *»v a few

came directed to Brooks, and proved to be
from biz facher, wbo la connect, d with
a newspaper in a city of California.
Ihe father and mother bad sepa
rated I a tht etriy life of yoang Brooks,
and he had never known tbat father
In person. The letter was foil of kind ref
erences to the mother and regrets for her
death. It wss bordzoed with lore for her
son, and said tbe father had never lost
knowledge of the son’s life and surround-
ings since he had kissed the infant aud laid
him back in his mother s arms at that long
ago and final parting. It wss a tender|znd
affectionate letter, and one thtt must
have inspired young Brooks with brighter

The letter should have reached him a dzy

in the malls. Who can tell what results
it might not have accomplished for Brooks
