LEBANON. MONDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 17.1890. NO. 136 THE SAWTELLE CASE Strengthening the Chain of Evidence Against Isaac.
THE BODY FULLY IDEHTIFIED. The CoDventmtion of tiie Prisoner En- tlie Suspicion Thut Ho Has Criiiiff Cotomltted In Kntv HamiiKlitre and Jlodr Found in Blaine. ROCHESTER, X. of people have visited the locality where the dismembered body of Hirmn A. Sawtelle was unearthed.
There were no startling developments, but many minor matters have been brought to light strengthening the chain of evidence against the murdered man's brother Isaac. The body was fully identified. The wife of the missing man positively identified the socks on the feet of the corpse as those worn her husband. This is the only feature by which identification con lie established, for the head and clothing are reduced to ashes. The cremation of these portions of the murdered man was done in a deserted woodman's hut ubout 100 yards from the lonely grave.
A stove, which is still in fair condition, was found died with ashes, which showed a fire of recent date. A careful sifting of these ashes brought lo light small fragments of bone and libres of cloth. Crime Committed in Hampshire. The theory thai the murder was committed in New Hampshire is supjxjrted by tiiie statement made by John Willey, a logging team driver, who says that he. passed a carriage supposed to contain Hiram and Isaac in the pine woods between here and East Rochester and a few minutes afterward heard two shots in successi m.
Auutuiierof other people Miy.that thev heard the firing. At the trial of this ca.se a very important jiOint 1o determined will he the exact lo ruiity in which the murder was committed. In the state of Maine murder is not hy death. In New Hampshire, the murderer, if convicted, must Thi.i murder was committed in th of the boundary line 1 etwen two states. The body of ill- victim and the blood btaiued ax found ill Maine.
in Oiuie. Many important discoveries were uuide which toiul lo show that there were others in the plot, and the police lieiieve that they were some of Isaac's old state prison -s, an I that the murder was deliberately planned affair. They are coniident that if Hiram's disappearance had not made such a sensation the deaths of other memliers of the family would have followed. In an interview, I Before the arrival of his counsel. Lawyer Hale, Isaac Sawtelle said that if anything had happened to Hiram, he was not responsible for it; that Dr.
Charles JSlroJ and lid liussell, were the men who had been instrumental in sending for Hiram. Isaac would not admit that a murder was commuted, but his allusions to other persons in connection with the case seem lo be significant. Soon after arrest the police were talking alxmt Dr. lilood and Isaac, hearing that name, anxiously inquired: "Is Dr. Blood arrested, 1 It was evidently a blip of the toncue, for Saw- lelle at once changed the subject and could not i.gaiu be induced to talk about Dr.
Blood. As that was before the body was found and before any evidence against Sawtelle had been collected, it is thought they have an important bearing on the case. T'rennli ICIevtlous.

N. Feb. the Le- aoney murder trial the witnesses gave strong testimony for the defense, and although Prosecutor Jenkins put them through the severest form cross examination he did not score a point for the state. The part of the day was devoted to proving Leconey's good reputation as a. peaceable and law abiding citizen and to bringing out the many contradictory statements made by Garrett Murray as to the last time he had seen Annie alive.
The witnesses examined were Mrs. Joseph Vance, an kindly faced woman dressed in deep black, who is Chalkley sister; her husband, Joseph Vance, who is a well known resident of Moorestown; Hugh Lavery, who is one of the state's witnesses: Carl Newbert, a German farm hand, whose funny dialect made every one smile; Philip Albright, who said he'd just turned 81 last Christmas; Joseph Snyder, an old friend of the prisoner; Elijah Wells; who said he was no more a friend to Chalkley than he was to anybody else; Thomas Wood, a brown bearded, Burlington county farmer, who wore an ill fitting pepper-and-salt suit; Ambrose M. Ritdon, of Moorestown; William Pierce, of Philadelphia, a cousin of Chalkley, who made an excellent witness and gave very strong evidence for the prisoner; Susan and Jennie Scott. two Kensington mill girls, who related a conversation they had with Garrett Murray the morning of the crime, and Benjamin Rockhill, a pleasant faced farmer, who said he'd "known Clialk for thirty year." Tiie prisoner's counsel expect to place him on the witness stand either late this afternoon or some time to-morrow morning. They have quite a number of witnesses to examine and it all depends on the length of time it will take to dispose of them.

BLAIR'S AGAIN. The Senate Kesumes Consideration of the Educational Scheme. TO SETTLE THE WORLD'S FAIfi SITE Consideration of Flans for the ColuiBblu Centennial Will Consume Larce Part of the TTeek la the Senate May goon Dispose of the li trad it ten Treaties.
WASHINGTON, Feb. suspending consideration of the subject for several days the senate will return at 2 p. m. today to the discussion of the Blair educational bill and Mr. Blair, who has obtained a fresh supply of material in the interim, will resume his speech in advocacy of the measure.
It is likely he will -exhaust his oratory in a day or two and give other senators an opportunity to lay their views before the senate" and the country. Fully ten set speeches on this bill were promised, but JLT. Bl.iir has consumed so much of the senate's time that some of them will be cut short. Nevertheless the educational bill will absorb the senate's attention during the greater part of the week and its consideration may extend into the week following. The Kxtrwlition Treaties.
Meantime the calendar will be discussed during the morning hour and at odd intervals. In the early part of the. week some time will be devoted to the consideration of executive business and the British extradition treaty and possibly the Russian treaty will likely be disposed of. 'i he committee on finance will take op all matters relating to silver coinage to-morrow and jiossibly will dispose of them. The committee on privileges and elections will give some attention to the Montana election case during tne week, but it will be some time before a decision is reached.
The World's Pair. There is every reason to believe that the controversary over the selection ol a site lor the world's fair will be settled so far as the house is concerned before another week has passed, livery- thing favors an early disposition of the matter. The elections committee has agreed not to attempt to call up the At- kmson-l'eudleton case until the week following and the way is clear for thr fair bill. Monday is, under the new rules, suspension day in the house when bills may be called up by committee and passed under a suspension of the rules. Most of the committee have not made preparation for bringing bills lie fore the house in this way, but it is safe to say that the entire day will be taken in discussion and passing those bills that are reported, A Possible.
Some debate will ensue on the resolutions of Mr. Caudler and Mr. Hitt providing for discussing and voting on the two world's fair bills. Mr. resolutions set apart Tuesday and Wednesday for discussion and Thursday for voting, while Mr.
llitt provides for only one day- of discussion, Tuesday, with voting on the next day. A majority of the members seem to-be in luvor of at least two days' discussion, and for this reason Mr. Candler's proposition has the better chance of being agreed to. There is a possibility of a deadlock on the question at issue, and in the event of this it cannot be said with accuracy how the rest of tint week may be consumed. 1'riday is private bill day, and Saturday will probably be devoted, as last Saturday was, to the delivery of eulo gies on deceased members.
The appro priation committee expects to have tin- pension appropriation bill ready to re port to the house to-morrow. BULLETS FOR ALL. laaae Jacob TVa'r Acainst the Boyoziniky Family and Kills Illmself. NEW YbRK, Feb. Jacob, aged 45, shot and killed Herman Eoyo- zinsky, of 54 Ridge street, about 5 o'clock Sunday morning, then shot and perhaps fatally wounded Royozinsky's ife, and finally shot himself dead.
The tragedy was the result of an old quarrel between the men. It is said that Jacob once smuggled $7,000 worth of diamonds into this country and, becoming frightened, placed them the Royozinskys' hands for safe keeping until it should be safe to dispose of them, but when he asked Koyoziniky for them the latter refused to account for them. It is also said that Jacob, who was a married man, made love to Royozinsky's niece until he was forbidden to visit the' famiiv any- more. Despite these events, however, Jacob and Royozinsky met occasionally and had business transactions. Early yesterday morning Jacob called at Royozinsky's rooms in the tenement 51 Ridge street and awoke Royoziusky, telling him to come out to the stable, as some one was trying to steal the horse which Royozinsky used in his business as an expressman.
Royozinsky accompanied to the stable, which is iu the rear of 47 Ridge street. When the men reached the stable yard Jacob drew a revolver and shot Itoyozinsky through the heart, lie then went back to No. Oi and shot Mrs. Royozinsky, who was coining out of the house, having become anxious because her husband had gone with Jacob, whom she distrusted. The bullet penetrated her neck and lodged iu her back.
She ran down the street screaming and did not fall until she reached the Delancey street police station. Meanwhile her son Otto, aged IS, had sprung out and pursued Jacob, who tted until he reached Broome street, when he turned and aimed the revolver at Otto. The boy dodged behind a wagon and Jacob seeing two policemen running up to arrest him, placed the revolver to his own head, tired and fell dead in the gutter. MORMONS' WILY WAYS.

An Attempt to Secure Valuable Uleotleo at £alt Lake. SA.LT LAKE, Feb. few days before- Christmas the Utah commission's office was entered by burglars and an unsuccessful attempt mais to steal the books and papers. Tho Utah commission is the boJy of men who have charce of all election matters in this territory and keep nil the records pertaining to elections. It was generally supposed that the Mormons were at the bottom of this attempted burglary, for they were desirous about that time of procuring the registration books if pos- Friday the Mormons began their contest iu the TlnrJ district court to compel the L'taii commission to issue to their candidates for the city council from the Third and Fourth precincts of this city certificates of election.
They have tiie majority of votes in those prcciiu-U and if the court decides that precinct votes count forcoun- cilmen inster.ii of the general voteof the city, the Mormons would have six out fifteen councilmeu. The casu was set for today for appearing, but the opinion prevails that the ohl law is still in force and that the precinct vote will not count. I-'riday night another attempt was made to steal the records of the Utah commission, but as the important papers are all in the safe deposit vault of the Union National bank, nothing ol was obtained. The burglars, however, obtained the gold watch of Gen. and IN AND ABOUT TOWN Struck by an Iron Bar.
