McLEAN MURDCRED. Jjl V1SD AJjOXJi TWO Mlt.ES mtOM WOliCJiSTJilt. Hollis Hcath, WUIard Alnsworth and Prcd Spencer of Worcester Arrestcd on Suspicion. Condi tion of Body. Theory of the Execution. Hollis Heath, Willard Aiusworth aud Frod Sponcor lio iu Wnshiugtou county jail, boing placed thero by Doputy Shoriffs Martiu Fitzgrald, Afa Dutton and George Laokoy, con stnblo iu Worcestor, under tho nntlior ity of warrauts issned by Justico Vail ou information given liim by John II. Sonter, State's nttomey, charging tho threo with the murder of Ohnrles MoLoau. The crimo for which tho trio is undor arrest was committed somctimo Into Satnrdny afteruoon or early that evening. On Saturday afternoon Mc Lean wont to the home of Isnao O. Prentiss, n ueighbor, liviug nbout n half milo from his Jionie, to borrow a hnudsled on which to draw somo feed for his stock from the store of M. P Wheolor to his, McLean's,homo. Sat urday morning, on his way to tho woods whero ho was workiug, Mr. Prentiss called at McLean's houso and had quito a little ohat with him, At tliat timo McLeau nsked for thu haud Bled. About four o'clock on Saturday afternoon Mrs. Oharles Coroy. who lives but a very short distance, toward Worcestor, from tho MoLeau houso, and is MoLcan's nearest neighbor,saw tho murdored nian go by tho houso with a haud-sled, drawing two bags of grnin. This is.according to all re ports, tho last timo that MoLeau was seeu alive by auy oue excopt, perhaps, the three prisouers, or by somo oue or two of thoin. On Suuday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Coroy drovo by McLenn's house. Thero were no eigns of auy one abont the house, and Mr. Oorey remarked to his wifo that he thought likoly that MoLoau had gouo up to Martiu's to see the boys,os was sometimes his oustom. On Mouday uiorniug, Mr. Prouti68 had occasiou to uso tlio hand-sled that ho had loftued to McLeau, so, betweon uiue and teu o'clock ou that morning, Prentiss went to McLean's houso nfter it. Prentiss found the sled in a shed attaolied to the front eud of the house, but, seeing no sicus of Mo Lean, he went to the door. Ho found tho door unlooked, with the key on tho outside. When Prentiss oponed tho door a shookiug siglit met his gaze. The furuituro iu the room was turned topsy-tnrvey, and brokeu dishes weio Bttewu about the floor. But these sightB wero as nothing to the further evidences of the hidoous crimo that had been committed in that house. Flat on his baok, with his hond half under tho bed, lay Oharles MoLean, tho ownor of tho Iioubo aud farni. Blood staius were ou the floor and on thn tove. A quilt ou the bed and nu ompty flour sack on the floor boro similar gruesonie spots. A glauce at tho body on the floor asjured Mr. Prentiss that hisneighbor aud friend wa dead. Prentiss theu notifled tho soleotmeu, who are Frank Hutohinson, D, G. K. Huut, aud Ed win Dugon. These three, accom pauind by George Laokoy, the con stable, aud Dr. W. E. Turnor. weut to tlio MoLean honee, where thoy awaited tlio arrival of John H.Sentor, State's uttorney, who arrivcd from Montpelier about 4.80 ou Mouday afto'.uoon, A thorough examiuntion of tho house nnd snrrouiidings chofoughly conviuopd thu State's attornoy and the otlier oftloinls iu tlio party that a murder Jiad been committed. Tho wntch of tho uinrdered man Iny on tho lloor besitie the bndy nud it had stopped at 12.20 o'clock.

But, neither in his pookofs uor among his papers, ' could it bo loarnod tliat anytliing tmportaut boaring on tho caso wns discovored Ou Saturday afternoou Oharles Coroy, McLenn's nearest noighbor, wont to Moutpolior with n load of wood. When Oorey returned in the nftornoon, HoIHb Heath and Willard Aiusworth rode with him. Both tliOBO mon, it is nllpged, woro in an intoxicnted couditiou. When Oorey reached home tho two meu left him nnd started for thoir home. Tho houso occupied by Heath aud Ainsworth, tho latter boing Heath's nephew, which is tho noxt iuhabited houso to MoLean's ou tho slde toward EaBt Elmore, is situated about ono milo boyoud the McLeau houso. To reaoh thoir liouio it was necessary for Henth and Aiusworth to pnss Mo Loan's houso. Tho two meu weut by Prontiss' houso, so it is reported, shortly aftor Hve o'clock on. Saturday afteruoon. If this report is correct as to time, those two meu wore, prob ably, passiug MoLean's houso just abont loug onough after the latter's return from Wheelor's storo to ennblo him to got his bags of feed into the house, whero they were found, nnd to start nbout his cbores. When the body of McLeau was discovered, the bag of mixod feed was found partially opened. It would appear, theu, that MoLeau was oither attacked whila openiug tho bag or else tlint the pef son or porsons wlio made it ontered about that timo. The striugs with which tho bag is sown were partly out. The inixed feed lay scattered on tho liuor aud was staiued with blood and marked with footprints. Accordiug to oue story commou iu Worcestor, Spencer, tho oue under ar rest, has made thrcats agninst MoLean aa a result of troublo betweeu thom, and it is supposed that it is on tho strength of theso roporied threats that Sponcor is under nrrest. But, to off set this viow of Sponcor's foeliug toward McLeau, ia auother story, that comes from apparently credible sources, to tho effect that Spoucer did not dare to pass MoLean's houee nn less he, Spencer, had somo one with him. McLEAX JIAJ) MOXJ3Y A slightly now ospect is tlirown on tho Worcestor case by facts that havo coino to light. On FridayiCliurles McLoau rode to Montpelier with Frank Badord, who works for M. P. Wheoler, iu Worces tor, MoLeau camo to tho oity to sottlo up some bosinosB. Ho accompnnied Badord to the furuituro Btoro of 0. D. Whefilock. Frank Badord bought some furni tnre of Wheelock aud paid for it on the iustallment plau. On Friday at Badord's rerfUest the lien tliat Whee lock held ou tho furuituro was trans forred to MoLean, on the latter pay ing to Wheelock the sum of $25.00. Tuesday afteruoon Badord called ut Whoelock's store. Ho told tho olerk, so it is reported, tliat wIipd he saw MoLeau at Wheeler's storo on Satur day afternoou, ho had $55.00 in his possession. When the body was found thero was only $18.51 in his pcokets or olothes A payment of $25.00 was due a bank in Hyde Park nnd thero is a possibil ity that, if the story of hiB having $55.00 is true at that time, ho may havo forwarded the monoy to the bank.
