THE MYSTERY OF THE SHOE STRING. An Investigation Shows That It Was Broken From Miss Madison's Hat. Richmond State. A 1.1 ! 1 il 1 n Auoiuer uusin ine cnam or cir cumstantial evidence against Thomas J. Clvuerius, now under sentence of death for the murder of Fannie Lillian Madison, which was not brought out at the trial, was reported to-day. It will be remembered that at the trial Coroner Taylor testified that he found a shoe-string upon the embankment at the reservoir on the morning of the finding of the body of the dead girl. As to where the shoe string came from he could not say, as there was no lost shoe string corres ponding with that on the person of the girl. It being clearly shown that the piece of shoe-string did not come out of the shoes of the dead girl, the general impression was at the time that it was used by her in tying up ner nair. mere was nothing to clearly establish this, and henee a mystery surrounded the littl tiece nf suoe siring. A recent investigation has resulted in finding out where the shoe string came irom ana ror wnat purpose it was used. Chief Justice Richardson, who took a very active part in work ing up the Case,' made his investiga tion in company with Common wealth's Attorney Witt. The Police Justice, haying given the matter in relation to the - shoe string - much thought he recently came to the con- Sikxplk otf IESveipy ID(eeii5ptlnaim ant IPHnime (DatL YOURS RESPECTFULLY, elusion that tho string was' not used by the dead girl for tying her shoe, : nor in tying up her hair. The idea l struck him that the shoe string came j on: t.ne hat which was round in tne dead-house near the small pox hos pital by policeman Saunders. In or der to rectify himself in this respect, the Police Justice and Mr. Wilt re cently made an examination, of the hat, which is now in the ofiQce of the City Sergant along with theffmnk and other effects of the murdered girl. The examination revealed these facts ; The little piece of shoe string had in it small punctures evidently made by a hat pin, and on the hat pin, and on the hat was discovered a small spot which upon close examination showed that a string or a little piece ot cloth of some sort had been sewed to the hat as there were also punctures at this shot indicating that the string or cloth had been sewed to the hat and had been broken or pulied off. In giving in their testimony at the time Policemen Saunders and Wal ton testified that they found the hat on Tuesday, the 17th of March be tween four and five o'clock in the afternoon ; that the hat was lying on the noort about the centre of the Dead House, crown upwards ; that there was some lint or wool on the ha; and some sand in it, and a little spot of mud on, top ; most of the sand was.in side of the lining, and fell out .as Mr. Saunders turned it up to see if there was any name inside. The solution of the mystery of the shoe string is but another stronjr circumstance in opposition to the flmsey theory of suicide. A PATENT GALLOWS. A youner man entered the clerk's office of Hustings Court to-day and in quired fpr the Citv Sergeant. Mr. James C. Smith, who was standing talking to a gentleman, was pointed out to him. The young man ap - proached Mr Smith and said: "I have a patent gallows, which was k - - ft vervsuc-essfullvusedatahanmno'inir,'e' fc"uaieu in oauiston township, Powhatan county. T would like for you to see it, as I understand you will need one on the 14th of January to ha ner Cluveriu"." The young man therepon unwrapped a bundle, which he carried under his arm, and exhibited his model, which the scaffold used at the hanering of Charles Lee and Barbara Miller at the county courthouse. The only difference between the two is the arrangement for sprirminir the trap doors. In the model a lever is used instead of a rope, and the slightest touch will spring the. b.lt. The young man is the son ot Kobert v . Wilkin son, of Powhatan county, and offers to furnih the scaffold and also be the executioner for $75. Mr. Smith said tht he had not fully made up his mind as to what kind of scaffold he would use. If You Wish a Oood Article Of Plug Tobacco, Ask Your Dealer For sepl6K v "OLD UIP." wsw6m WANTED !
