The woman was barely able to tell lier husband that she had awakened to find the man Adair iu her room. Almost before the story was finished she fell over unoon svious, with blood streaming from her mouth. Before help could arrive she was (load. He found Mrs. Weist iu the second story buck room, their sleeping chamber. She was pale as death and was spitting blood, lie lifted her in his arms and bore her lo a rocking chair, where she lay gasping. Fifteen minutes later the husband heard a shriek from the upper portiou of the house. He asked what was the matter. "Antone! Antone!" called his wife'n voice. "Adair is in my room. Help ! Help!" The piissnge-way from the bar opeued into a back yard. Through this Weist went to the si airs. As he ran up Adair rushed past him, flung open the door, slammed it to and hurried down Kaduor street. Mr. Weist was too fearful for his wife's safety to pay any attention to the fugitive, and iusttad of pursuing he kept ou up to the stairs. Last evening about 8i>'clock Ailalr called upon his friends, the Barber family. He went up stairs to their rooms and nothing mote was heard of him until 10 o'clock. About ten miuntes before that time Mr*. Weist remarked to her husband tnat she whs tired and she would go to bed. He told hertodosoand that he would tend the bar uutil shutting up time. She hade him good night and went, up stairs. Shortl> after Adair came down, bought a drink and departed. At live minutes to XI he relumed, remarked that he had an engage ment aud weut up the stairs.

Mrs. Welat was 48 yeern old, and «aa a remarkably well preserved and floe Idnklng woman. Willam Adair frequented the plane, and being often called upon to attend the saloon in ber husband's absence, Mrs. Weist was well acqnaintod with him. He waa intimate with the family of James Barber, who occnpied the front and hark rooms in the third story of Mr. WViat's honse. | Stanyard is a physical wreck. He is the picture of a famine. In the mills he waa called "Crazy Stanyard," and insanity will be the plea at bis trial, which may soou coiue up iu court, as the first witnesses in the case were to-day before the special grand jury. When told that he might be executed for the crime, he perpitrated another smile, aud said ; "They can ou'.y bung a man once." I Standard, who last evening shot and almost instantly killed Mies Alioe Haaoox, •for love," aa he says, was jailed hen about 11 o'cloek this forenoon. He wandered about all night, and at 5 o'clock this morning went to the house of Ford Cortsweli, Mo, 639 Mt. Pleasant street, where he waa arrested by Constable D. H. Arnold. Stanyard made no resistance. He had a half pint bottle half filled with whisky, a picture of the dead girl, and a razor, and asked to be allowed to cut his throat. The weapon, u 38<caliber bull dog, contained three cartridges. r, O, Maroh 25.—Kbeoeie When Stanyard was called up to the I barred gate in the jail this afternoon he oame quickly and smiled. He was in his stocking feet. His pantaloons below the knees were covered with mnd, and his coarse dark clothes were scuffed and soiled. He talked without the least hesitation or the least indication of fear, emotion or concern. His answers were given as though they weie replies to the m< st trivial questions, "Well, it all resls with myself, and no one else'll have to suffer for it. Who's that, with you, Uill I" While talking to his attorney, Mr. Frank Jacob*, Stanyard's borther-in-law ami brother hnrried along the hall to the iron gate. "Yon have oorne to a nice plac<5 at last,*' angrily said the former. "What would yon think of it ? I don't think anything about it at all. It Is done, and thut's all there's to it. I only wish I bad thrown my pistol away before I did " "Yes, I loved her too well," he laughed, "and I want to be buried beside her grave." "What do yon think about it. I" "What do I thiDk about what f" "Why, about murdering Miss Hancox iu front of your gate lust night 1" "Did you love Miss Hancox, Stanyard?" Wukki.ino, W.
