On the bare floor, prone upon its back, lay the body cl a man, a dark, dank stain upon bia left breast.

The letter P. in the middle room, marks the spot where tha putoi was piuieu up. The man's head lay within yard of the back door oi tbe kitchen, TBI BODY STRETCHKD OUT s'raight, with the foet pointing toward t h door of the middle loom. He was fully dressed, bis boots polished, a dark overcoat buttoned up to bis cbin, and bis radiant cilk bat still half on hia head. With one arm outstretched. tbe other partially doubled under him, it was plain that he had fallen dead without a stnigiile. The woman was dreigea in a plain calico wrapper, and tha blond trickled in a continu ous stream from a wound in ber left breast. The pistol, a medium-sized Smith & Wesson revolver, with two chambers empty, lay near ber in such a position as to prove conclusively that it bad fallen from ber hand. The man, SHOT THBOUOB TBI HEART, could not have thrown it with suffi cient force. Had it been thiown by him, it must have rebounded to have fa'lm around tbe frame of the door and out of line with bis positioa. The wounded woman was tenderly raised, carried to her bed in the front room and aid at once summoned. Drs. Lau rence, Pool and Kennedy Jones, who arrived almost at tbe l same moment, discovered at once that tbe man had been shot through the beait. the ball passing straight through bis body, and plainly having ben fired from a pistol Lrld on a level With his breast. There was no sign of powder-burn under a microscope. The woman's condition waj critical. A bullet had entered HER LEFT BBEAST about an inch above tbe left nipple, ranged downward and passed out about two inches below the shoulder blnde, narrowly missing the heart and he great arteries leading from it. Ht r flash and clothing was badly powder- burned and the palm of the (ett nana blackened. The wound was dressed by D. Jones, the three physicians weeing that there was but slight chance of recovery.

A number ol wit nesses were eximined, but none of them were able to throw any light on tbe tier it deed. Tbe identity cf the MAN AND WOMAN was coon e3tatrsneu witnout aim- culty the one A. A. Bennett, an agent ot the nail sale ana lock com pany, the o'Der ms mistress, iormeriy known as Ida Reed or Laura May Port r, but lat ily called by his name. A reporter of tbe Appeal revisited the place about 3 o'clock in tbe after noon. Oilier Dallas L e had been placed on guard Jto keep the rabble nut, and when tbe bell of the front door wae pulled he answered the mu 111 ?d sound, r ollowing tbe officer around the narrow alley he entered the back door, his first step bringing him upon a small pool op Bennett's blood which reed ened the bare floor of the kitchen. A little further on and be nar rowly escaped stepping upon a wide space tt'll reeking with the gore of the unfortunate woman, whose moans could be heard as she lay upon her bed in the next room, the only apartment in the house which was respectably lur niched. It was neatly carpeted, with handsome rote wood set of furniture, and a )umt of corgeous design hung from the ceiling over toe ico: oi me bed. An old carpet, walnut dining table, a trunk and a common tin safe formed the furniture of the next or dining-room. In the kitchen, the floor of which was bare, stood a stove and a cheap deal table. It w;s not in any sense A OlLDBD PALAl'C of sin, but just such a residence as many a poor married couple nas neat, clean and bare. In the dining- room and kitchen two or three police men, a denutv sheriff or two, and several women of easy viitue stood talking t wether or glided curiously about from place to place. In tbe back dcor the nezro servant, who had evidently been uncorking the bottle in the wardrobe ton often, prated in a loud voice, while the motley crew of the neighborhood bung themselves on the fence t) listen. In the darkened bed-room TBE WOUNDED WOMAN moved her head slowly from aide to side nponrber pillows, over which young face in a halo of auburn bair kindly bent. She silently obeyed a sign from the reporter, snd begaa MEMPHIS DAILY relating in a whisper what she knew j of the relations which Lad exited be tween Bennett and the woman. "They are man and wife in tbe eyes of the law. Ihavete?n the license. It hsncs tber-s on the w.tll, she iad "No!" moaned the woman, who had overbeird her. opening her eyes and looking up. Ihs girl walked over to her, placed hr mouth down j CLOSE TO BIB IAS, and returning, retired with the re porter tn the dining-room, where she resumed her statement, beginning by taring tLa'. her name as .o (Jarlri "1 have alatavs beiievea mem to oe married," she f a d. "She has told me so frequently, but tow she says the license is worthless, ana mat it waa in tended merely to give an air of re spectability to ber life with Bennett She is a gcod girl, and I cannot make up my mind that ahe did this thing. 6b e toia me just now mai iwnneii qCABIKLID WITB HI! yesterday and struck her with his fist. This morning they had anothei quar rel, she says, and be shot her. Listen, she ia calling, for him now. She asks every few minute' why he does not come to see her. Nobody has told ber of hia death and she does not appear to know it. I have just telegraphed to her father about the shooting. I know it will nearly kill h m. the comes of a good family." Continuing, she said her friend came to Memphis from Cincinnati about two years ago, stopping with Madam Lou Sboles. Soon aftsr her arrival she met Ben nett; they CONCEIVED AN ATTACHMENT for each other, and after a short resi dence at the "Mansion" on Gayoso street they removed, about a year ago, to No 32 Causey street, where tbe tragedy occurred. They got along very well together until a few weeks ago, when their quarrels became al most of dailv occurrence. Thev were jealous of each other, and spent a good deal of time in cross-accuBations of faithlessness, with how much justice r.innot ba said." As she finished her story Z e turned her face to woman dressed in the hight of fashion, who had entered by the back door. Looking Zoe fall in tha face fall minute, without speak ing word, she said "Por thing' tbe FIRST TENDER SENTENCE which the reporter had heard. Zoo turned, aobbing, to the wall, and a flood of tears poured from her eyes the sole mourner io that house of death. The girl calls herself the sister of the wounded womin. but no one believes in their relationship, thongh they came here about the ssme time and from tbe same place. Tbe mar riaio license to which she alluded hung in a big gilt frame on the wall, and was filled out in Bennett's own handwriting, the date January 23, 1885, the names of TBI CONTRACTING PARTIES, A. J. Bennett aid Laura May Porter. It was signed "Sam B. Oullan, clerk, by J. Clark, deputy clerk." the core mony as being performed by "B. L Anderson, Justice of the Peace." There are no such officials. Tbe servant. Fannie Wilie, colored was also questioned. "I did not wo'k for Mrs. Bennett all tbe time," (he said. "I live back there in that cabin and have been doing her washing. When she was sick I used to come over and cook and ' clean up for her, but she did ALL BBK OWN WORK as a usual thing. She was kind and good, and I liked Mr. Bennett, too If they fussed any they did it in the bouse with the doors shut. 1 never beard them. Last night I was in ber room at 11 o'clock, and when I got up to go I asked ber what kept Mr. Ben nett so late and sh answered that she did not think ha would be home at all that night, and that she intended to undress and go to bed as sne AO A HEADACHE. At this juncture the woman, whoss black skin was niled with wnisiy, and wboje wits, tbe little she bad were badly jumbled up frora frig it and whisky together, went off into a rumbling tirade "about how badly frightened she was, and it was cilh cult to get her down to the point At la it she resumed: "I never saw Mrs. Bennett again until this morning. 1 was out at the wood-pile yonder paying for some wood, when I heard a noise like a tire-cracker, but paid no attention to it, because they are always playing around in the house. Pretty coon I heard TBI SAME NOISI again and Mr. Bennett's voice groan ing ugh I 'Ugh! ugh 1' I ran to the back kitchen door, which was wide open, and, good Lordi there lay Mr. Bennett flat on his back, close to tbe door. In the other ro Dm, right in the door, waa Mrs. Bennett, lying flat on her side. 'Fanny,' she said, 'my old man shot me and then shot tumee !. If you bad been here this would net have happened.' Trying pUinly to attach some of the importance of the event to herself. I did not put ray foot in the door, but ran to the near est telephone- aud gave tbe alarm to tbft police. That a all 1 know about it." MRS. CALLAHAN, who owas the house in which tbe coupls lived, said it was rented about a year ago by a woman v nora sne db lieved to be Hn. Bennett. The rent was paid regularly every month by Mr. Bennett 'They were quiet," shesaid, "or I should not have allowed tbem to remain. I have never heard tbem quar reling and did not hear the shots. Tbe first I knew was the crowd running across the street and into the front gate." CAPT. GatORSE O'BAVER, who wis taking a survey of the ihld, was asked what conclusion he had ar rived at. "1 am convinced that Ben nett was killed by his mistress, who then committed, or attempted to com mit, suicide. Everything goes to show it. Bennett was shot through tbe heart, the pistol found sixteen feet away from him, around tbe door-fac-irtr in the next room. Had he held the pistol in bis own hand, stretched his arm ts its full length, hia coat would have been powder burned. Ths woman's dri-ss and breast were badly scorched, and ber band, toe, waa powder-burned. Nine out of ten women bold a pistol in both hands when presenting it. If she bad held ber's so, it would have been burned by tbe PLASB OF POWDER from the chambers, just aa you have seen it. Again, the bill which pierced Eonnet'.'s breast went straight through ; that which entered hers ranged down ward. She fired both shots, which were about three seconds apart. He is dead with a ball through hie heart, she lives. Her aim was ttesdier when he tired at him than when the muz zle of the weapon was directed toward her own heart. The negro woman, as you see, had been drinking. I place no orifideoce in the story she tells. No direct attempt waa made to ob tain a statement from Ida Bennett. She was f sied by one of the women if she cared to make any STATEMENT FOR PUBLICATION and she replied in the negative.

The champion Chicago baseball club arrived yesterday me.ru iog from Hot Springs, and are comfortably quartered at the Gayoso. Capt.

It must be conlessed tint the latter consideration presents irresisti ble features. The nines that will con front each other to-day are named be low. Chicago's battery, Flynn and Moolic, ore, so to sneak, untried, hav ing never plaved with the club before, although tfiey come with good records from" the fyist.

We have resolved upon this method, not only in the interest of ourselves and families, but also for the good of cur contractors, employes nnd mer chants generally. Under the ten hours system a man can have no time for rest, recreation or self-education, and is so weary before his day's work is done that he cannotdo hie employer justice.

Never saw her have on wig r.f blonde hair before. Her natural hair waa red. She was also veiled, yet he knew it to be her. The croas-f xamination oi this wit ness was proceeded with, but devel oped no new facts nntil Judge Greer asked tbe following question: "What were tbe relations between yonr broth er and Miss Norment?" - Witness I dou't know that toey were anything but friendly. "Did yonr brother have pistol when killed, and did he not go armed T" "Yea." Judge Greer Did he not apprehend danger from Mies Norment or some of the family ? Answer I don't know tha' he did. Judge Greer Did not yonr brother visit Miss Norment, and were they not engaged, and did he not promise to marri her, and under that promise to marry her did he not seduce her, and has slil net a living child by him? Gen. Turner here objected, and said t that he 'understood the court would' not permit cotin-tl to open this door, snd if thane questions did not lead directly til' what the court laid should not bs invo lute I, and that if this dnnr was opened ei id the State would claim the riglit. to rebut all such proof and go into. an investigation of the whole alt'iiir touching the premises. Couit ruled' Wlfneas might answer these questions; W itiiess'a answer was In the negative, and that be knew of no improper rela tions betweeti hia brother and Miss Norment. That they had known each other well, that hi brother bad visited her occasionally, but they were not sweethearts, and he had never heard hia brother say anything about any re lations with her: that his hro her did go fo the Exposition, bat did not run way irom noma on jtnat account.
