Mrs. Irwin Too Hysterical to GiveHer Testimony.
THE GENERAL OPINION
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.COX'S STATION. Charles county, Md.,
August 5.-The horrible murder of JamesIrwin Sunday night has thoroughly arousedthe whole county. and about the vicinityof Allen's Fresh the scare is almost equalto that which so excited the people ofWashington during the operations of "Jackthe Slasher" not very long ago. Even thestrong men are badly frightened, and theplace is completely demoralized. Althoughthe weather has been warm since the mur-der was committed, at almost every houseabout Allen's Fresh windows Old doorshave been closed at night, and at severalhouses the windows have been securely
Seene of the Tragedy.nailed, so that they are not even open dur-ing the day time. Monday night while thebody of the murdered man was still in thehouse and his widow sas only a few hun-dred feet away, under guard and medicaltreatment, the men who found occasion togo on the road were for the most partheavily armed. Several of them volunteer-ed-to remain with the body over night, andthe house was well protected, for all thewatchers were .prepared for another visitfrom the murderer. The affair has com-pletelyo unnerved them. This is probablybecause the village has been such a quietplace, ard nothing of this kind had everhappened before within recollection of thepresent inhabitants.
A ad Sceae.Yesterday morning the scene In the vil-
lage was a sad one. The body of the mur-dered man lay in a coffn in the front roomof the home tiat had been an unhappy onefor a long time, and during her lucid In-tervals the wife could look from the houseof "Dick" Swann,. where she was undertreatment, and see the window of the roomin which the terrible deed had been com-noitted. But the sight did not affect her.The only thing that seemed to give her theslightest trouble was mention. of the let-ters that had passed between her and Mat-thews, and then she never failed to becomehysterical. Soon after breakfast time theaged parents of the dead man went fro'ntheir home to take a last look at their boy,who had been so foully dealt with. Theirgrief could not be concealed, and themother was not able to stand the ordeal.She was obliged to return home, and isnow almost frantic.With the exception of the discolored face,
the dead man presented a fairly good ap-pearance. On the wall of the little room inwhich the body lay hung a large crayonportrait of the wife who is now suspectedof complIlty in the crime, while near itwas a framed cabinet photograph of theHebrew peddler with whom she elopedabout five years ago. Why Jim Irwin everallowed that picture to remain there noone of the mourners could understand.The man had caused Jim considerable trou-ble by taking his wife over In Virginia andkeeping her there for more than a month,but then Jim loved her and was alwayswilling to forgive her wrongs. There hadbeen a child born to them then, and Jimthought it was his duty to sacrifice hisown feelings in order that things might beset right, and that Nellie should be broughtup to make a good woman and not have ablighted life.
Had Pleaded With His Wife.It Is known that he had pleaded with his
wife, Emma, to give up her suspected re-lations with George Matthews. He knewall about the letters, for his brother had In-tercepted several of them, and one of theselove epistles from his former partner wasdelivered to Jim himself. This wasn notmany days ago. His wife had been in thehabit of sending Nellie to the post officeeach day at mall time, but on this occasionPcstmaster Tippett overlooked Mrs. Ir-win's letter when Nellie ,called, and lateron he asked the husband to take it home.He did take It.. but not to his home. In-stead, he took it 0over te his father's home,and there had his aged father decipher theccntentu of the letter, which containedmany endearing terms. If Jim said any-thing to his wife about this letter theneighbors heard nothing of it. It Is be-lieved, however, that very little, if any-thing, was said, and certainly there was notrouble about it, for this would certainlyhave been heard.
The Genesal Belief.It is believed here that the taking out of
the way of the husband and father wasplanned long ago, soon after the death ofthe child George, to whom Mrs. Irwin re-ferred as George Matthews' boy in the let-ter to him, in which she said, "BabyGeorge sends kiss to papa." George wasonly two or three years old when he died inApril last, and soon after his little bodywas laid at rest in the burying groped atthe Newport Catholic Church the wife ad-vised her husband that it might be well forhim to attend to his religious duties andget back in his church. He had had so
much trouble about his wife and Matthewsthat he had neglected his religious dutiesfor a long time."I don't feel like going to my duties," haesaid to his wife, "when this trouble is
hanging over us."The poor man was thoroughly dishearten-
ed, but knowing strict attention to churchglatters would lessen his erhyburdens,he went and consulted Father W .epas-tor of the Newport Church, To his pastorhe related the story of his troblarzwhen the umnisist had conseoed -" as

promise that he would return to churchand renew his religioue vows. And he kepthis promise. It Is now believed that thewife knew of what was to comerand thatwas why she Insisted on his returning tochurch and making preparations for thehereafter, although she was not so consid-erate of her own spiritual welfare.
The Premises Inspected.Yesterday the premises were fully in-
spected by State's Attorney Posey and someof the members of the coroner's jury. Onthe head of the bed they found the stainsof blood and several additional pieces ofthe skull were found. The blood-saturatedpillow, which had been put out in the yardwith the bedding, had been removed acrossthe road and deposited near the water'sedge. "Dick" Swann's home, where Mrs.Irwin was confined. *as also visited, andit took but a glance at her to see that shehad not sufficiently improved to be removedto Undertaker Robey's, near Cox's station,where the inquest was to&be resumed.
A New Phase of the Case.In addition to the terrible gunshot wound
tl.ere was apparently a cut in the skull,which the doctors thought might possiblyhave been inflicted with a hatchet. Thisrew phase of the case caused the beliefthat two persons, instead of one, mighthave taken part in the actual killing, anda search Is to be instituted for a blood-stained hatchet, as well as a gun. Mrs.Irwin's night gown, which is playing animportant part in the Investigation, is stillin the hands of the authorities, and an ef-fort is being made now to account for thepresence of so little blood on the garment.when she claims she was in bed with themurdered man at the time the crime wascommitted and knew nothing of what hadtaken place until she heard a rapping orknocking sound. If she actually took partin the killing, as some people here believeshe did, then the two blood stains on thegarment might be easily accounted for, butit is not generally believed that she waseven In the room when the fatal shot wasfired, and the blow probably inflicted.Undertaker Robey and Justice Wills oc-
cupy the same little building, about a milefrom the station, and here the jury as-sembled at noon and heard the statementof the prisoner, George Matthews, as stated
e 1)---
e
Jim Irwin.
In yesterday's dispatches. The building isa one-story frame structure, and situatedat the fork in the road, one road feadinghere and the other toward Allen's Fresh.Fully 200 men had congregated in the yardand beneath the shade trees on the road,all anxious to get a look at George Mat-thews, and more especially at Jim Irwin'swife, for they expected she would be pres-ent at the hearing.Matthewes the Iuspected Murderer.When the prisoner, Matthews, arrived
from the La Plata. jail in charge of SheriffWade and his deputies he was securelyhandcuffed, and the ight of the crowdgave him a thorough scare. So badly washe frightened that he reeled as he was en-tering the gateway and came near falling.He is by no means a bad looking man andthere Is an indescribable attractivenessabout him which accounts for his havingbeen able to win the affections of the wifeof Jim Irwin. Matthews is not a large manand having followed the water so long hiscomplexion is rather dark, but he has rosycheeks. Although the excitement had kepthim up he was probably weak, because hehad taken no nourishment since his ar-rest Monday morning. Neither had Mrs.Irwin. She even refused ice when the doc-tor wanted her to take it.Having passed through the crowd suc-
cessfully the frightened man was given aseat on a box in the office in plain view ofa pile of coffins and other articles so neces-sary at funerals. In the words of one ofthe jurors, "He was sweating blood."In this little room the jurors were seated,and gathered about them were officers of
the county and several newspaper men.The crowd outside clamored for admissionbut the sheriff's deputies cleared the yranad drove the people to the opposite sideof the road.
His Statemmeat, Under Oath.Then Matthews made his statement under
cath. After admitting that he had beencorresponding with Mrs. Irwin for sometime, he maid he did so for the purpose oftantalising Jim, Sunday night, he said,he was out rowing. He went to meet afriend ujamed Alvin Hayden, but did notmeet him. Hayden was some six or' sevenmiles distant, and he went to meet him forthe pleasure of his eo~ny returninghome, There was a squal on the river,and- he wrapped his oat about his oil coatinstead of reversin't the order, and the con-~

At this point States Attorney Posey turn-ed his questionir~g toward the question ofa shotgun. The shot picked from the

Gousipat Republican and DemocraticOmmittee Boom,
BRUMSICUS R OTSIGFICAIlY
What is Expected for the Fusionin Minnesota.
POLL ON A TRAIN
The republican congressional committee.as stated by Secretary Mercer in The Staryesterday, was not inclined to attach agreat deal of significance to the democraticvictory in the railroad town of Brunswick,Md., which was taken by the democrats asa straw indicating the direction of the po-litical wind at this time. The committee ismore of that opinion today, and Is in receiptof a communication upon the subject. It isan editorial in the Baltimore News, and Isas follows:"One would suppose that there had been a
terrific struggle between the adherents ofthe Rothschilds and Wall street bond-sharkson the one hand, and the unterrified cham-pions of the poor man's money and theNebraska orator on the other. In point offact, however, only 293 votes were polled outof a total voting population of about 600,which rather Indicates that most of thecitizens of Brunswick thought they weresimply electing a mayor and councilmen,and not helping specially to settle the finan-cial system of the country. Moreover, this'republican stronghold gave the republicancandidate for sheriff last fall a plurality ofjust 14 votes-234 against 220-although lastfall was a tidal-wave year for the republi-cans, who carried Maryland for governor bynearly 19,000 plurality. Yesterday the dem-ocratic candidate for mayor polled 161 votesagainst 120 for his opponent. With thesefigures before them, the people of the UnitedStates will probably decide that Brunswick,Md., has done but a very little as yet towardthe settlement of the presidential question."
Mr. Dabeock Expected Friday.Chairman Babcock of the republican
committee is expected to be at his deskby Friday, and will take up the businesswhich he was forced to suspend tempora-rily on account of interesting politicalevents In his own district. Vice Chair-man Apsley expects to leave about themiddle of the morth for a six weeks' tripthrough the west, upon which he will beaccompanied by Representative McCall ofMa sachusetts. It is Mr. Apaley's inten-tion to visit the principal republican head-quarters west of this city and to make per-sonal Inspections of the situation as repre-sented to the state central committees andthe congressional committees of the severaldistricts. In this way Mr. Apsley expectsto gain much information of the real sit-ustion throughout the country, which willbe of invaluagle aid to the congressionalcommittee in its conduct of the campaign.
Lively for the Clerical Force.While this was a dull day for news at
the congressional committee headquarterson account of the absence of prominentcallers and the lack of unusual informationIn the malls, it was a busy day for allhands around headquarteres, who find thework of the .committee Increasing in vol-ume day by day. The clerical force atthe Normardie have all they can do to keepup with the demands upon them, and theemployes of the docvment room around thecorner on I street are just as busy in theirown line of work.The committee has a suite of several
rooms on the parlor floor of the Norman-die, but it Ir still crowded for accommoda-tions. Visitors to the committee headquar-ters receive pciite attention and are shownInto the waiting room, where Mr. Bailey, acourteous ycung man, ascertains theirwants. It they want to see Vice ChairmanApsley they may find it a somewhat diffi-cult undertaking, because he is too busy totalk to everyLody who comes. The major-ity of the callers are seekers for employ-n'ent, too, and as the clerical force of thecommittee has long ago been made up,they do not receive a great deal of encour-agement.The newspaper men, who visit the com-
mittee at all hours of the day, are wel-comed to Col. Fred. Schrader's room, andfrom there they get access to the vl:echairman, who always has a word for thenewspaper men.
Circular to Colored Voters.-The republican congressional committeehas received a circular from the West EndMcKinley Club of this city, addressed tothe colored voters of the United States.It is issued by George W. Stewart, chair-man of the club, and exhorts the coloredpopulation to vote for the republicans, thecircular concluding with this paragraph:"Beware of the silver craze, shun thePopulists and stick to the old landmark."
At Democratic Headquarters,At democratic headquarters, on 15th
street, the caller upon entering the hall isconfronted Immediately by a gatewayguarded by a colored man. The rooms ofChairnman Faulkner and Secretary Gardnerare upstairs, and the plain citizen has torun a gauntlet of satisfactory explana-tions as to his mission before he gets intothis sanctum. Senator Faulkner Is alwaysapproachable to newspaper men, however,and the latter have no trouble in gettingaccess to him."The news from Minnesota today Indicates
probability of a big democratic victory inNovember," said Senator Faulkner to aStar reporter this afternoon. "With thefusion which has been made between thedemocrats and the populists, and with theconstantly increasing sentiment in favorof silver, I do not see how it will be possi-ble for the fusion ticket to fail to wipe outthe republicans almost completely."Advice. from Minnesota state that the
populist and democratic forces were com-bined at yesterday's convention, and aticket for the state made up which willtake in nearly every element of population.Ex-Congressman Lind, formerly a republi-can, was nominated for governor. He is aScandinavian, and he is expected to con-trol the entire foreign vote of the state.Other foreign elements besides the Scandi-navians w ere also provided for in theticket. The present republican lieutenantgoverno~r of the state has been nominatedfor Congress on a free silver ticket againstMcCleary, the gold republican, and a divi-sion has been made of the presidentialelectors between the populists and the dem-'ocrats.
A Pennsylvania Predititon,Ex-Congressman Mutchier of the eighth
Pennsylvania district was a caller at dem-ocratic headquarters today, and predidteda democratic silver majority of from 2,000to 4,000 in that district. He said the dem-ocrats would gain several Congressmenthrough the state, as the silver sentimentwas making great headway among themniners and laborers. In this connectionSenator Faulkner stated this afternoon thatthe committee's mail from Pennsylvaniais twice as large as it was two weeks ago,and that it is all for free siver. He saidthe county committees are all in line forthe ticket, and he looks for some pro-nounced gains in the state.One of the callers at democratic head-
quarters today who had noticed SenatorFaulkner's Interview in The Star yesterday,in which he stated that he feared a conflictb)etween the classes and the masses, toldof an incident which occurred on the Cin-cinnati express on the Baltimore and Ohiorailroad a few evenings ago.
