Perhaps Thoj Were Tw ins. New York Sun: About twenty yearn ago a toblwr entered tin farm Boom of John Weot in Indiana, and, I wing discovered while prowling wound the houao, ho shot V cut in order that hr might make lite wape, The hour was midnight, and there wae n bright harv<*t nioon lighting up the room in which the shooting took place Went hn<l a dub liesidn low lied, and be gave the intruder a powerful blow with thia before the allot was fired. The bullet ( nteri 'l the abomen and be lived about three days nnd was perfectly conwioua all the time. He declared on bin dying bed that hia murderer waa a young man name<l Solomon Richards, a lawleaH character who hung about the village two mile, away. Mix. Wcat recognizad him ns well, ami when Kichnrda wiw arrewfed and charged with the crime he did not deny it. There wasn't the slightest doubt <>f liia guilt, and but for the tirnincHs of the sheriff the fellow would have been lynched. He had been in jail two weeks before he declared Ina innocence. As he had no money Im could not engage a lawyer, but lie made a atatciimnt to the sheriff, which set that official nt work to prove an alibi for him. On Urn night of the shooting, Richards liad ant in the village tavern from nine to ten o’clock This could be verified When he left the tavern he viaitod two saloons, but this could not be verified. Several persons were almost sure of having seen him, but no one was positive. At 10:110 o’clock he went to a livery stable and climbed up on the hay to sleep. Ho claimed to have s]>oken to a hostler mimed Warm r, but when Warner was consulted he could not ba sure whether it was that night or the one preceding it On lite way from the saloon to the bar Richards encoun tered n person who was dressed like himself, mid whose general roseinblauce was very striking. Both halted und looked each other over ns if astounded, but neither spoke. Not one man in a hundred would have taken any slock in such n story, but the sheriff, singular an it may M'l'iii, believed Hint Richards was telling the truth. West hud struck the man with n dub Richards had not the slightest wound or bruise. The pistol with which the shooting was done hud been left behind No one about the village hnd ever seen it before. How could Richards, who never hnd a dollar nt a time, have purchnsed it ' He was on the street jierfectly unconcerned, when arrested. If he was guilty why hnd he waited right there to be taken into custody, .when Hui farmer hud called out: ,“80l Riohards, you have shot me, but J'll live to see you hung!" All these points were overlooked by everybody except the sheriff. Mr. and Mrs. West declared that Sol Richards was the man; that was evidence enough, es]s ei:iily when Sol was n gixxl-for-l.othing. Three weeks had passed whey the sheriff got track of a man who had pnssoil a toll gate nt nn early morning hour, carrying n bundle. Further on ho found that •the man with the bundle had a bloody .ear. Five miles further and he had entered a farm house, alleged he had met with an accident, and had a scalp wound dressed. He had journey ed n hundred miles before the sheriff overhxik him, but here mid there he had aold fragments of his plunder. When finally overhauled and arrest ed he admitted his crime almost Ix’foro a question was asked. He was a pixifcssional tramp, and rob bery was nothing new to him. He was not only dressed piwisely like Richanls, but he ri'sembled him so cloaely in height, build, weight and facial expression that people came to the jail and called him Richards He gave his name as Terry, but as he could remember little or nothing of hie childhixsl, and ao this was also the •case with Richard*, it was generally believed that they were twin brothers. The one was released aa nn innocent man, and the other was aeut to prison for such n long term as practically naan red his death within the gloomy walls t»< Rise Winter il>«* t>l<*«! gets ihi.A »n.l»lu h gmh, now is the Uim Li purity it. t*> build up piurnuk'in and fil yv’ir- If for hard berg I t u*;ii£ Dr J.

Six of these persons will probably die ami twenty are in n precarious condi tion. It is now believed that ice cream, which was plentifully supplied and freely eaten, caused the trouble. AA'liether the inside of the cream free,'era was lined with sulphate of zine, or whether arsenic was put in tin' cream purposely, still puzzles the doctors. One of the doctors has been doing some amateur detective work. In Ins capacity as a physician he gives the opinion that the poiso'ious substance was arsenic, and as a detective he expresses the belief that it was put in the cream by some murderously inclined person. Many pel sons who ate of the cream when first made suffered no inconvenience, while those who ate after the freezers had been opened a short time are sick. The victims dispersed to their bonus, and it was several hours before any of them come under medical treatment. They nre widely scatter ed over a district partly village and partly farming.
