The arrest last Wednesday of John
Connolly as tge perpetrator of the
crime of setting fire to the Have
Shook barn and house was a great
surprise to everybody, and ft brought
with it a distinct sense of relief to the
public mind—which had been turned
in another direction. Then it was
thought that the officers had made
the arrest on evidence that wa> too
slight to enable them to hold
man; but lately this has changed, at.d
it is now reported that the man has
confessed, and stated to the officers,
or someone else, that he was hired
to do the work.
These rumors and statements almost
surpass belief, as they indicate a
mind bereft of every humane instinct
and feeling. It is stated as a fact
that Connally scarcely knew Dave
Shook, and that he certainly had no
personal grudge against him; conse
quently he must be a low-down
wretch to accept a bribe for such a
fiendish piece of villainy; but it is
harder to believe that anyone could
be so wrought up by envy and malice
as to inspire its perpetration is al-
most beyond conception
And the
neighbors and public generally await
developments with horror not U n-
mingled with doubt.
