Dec. 10,1898.  A button may lead to the discovery of the men who robbed the I & V station at Gosport a few nights ago. Two men who gave their names as Hardin and Watson were selling stamps about the square at 50 cents on the dollar. Suspicion was aroused and they were arrested on a minor charge today. Detective Herr, of the Pennsylvania Railway, arrived with a button that he had picked up at the window where the robbery occurred. It corresponded with those on Hardin’s vest, which had a button missing. While the officers were absent for a moment, Hardin attempted to destroy the vest, but was detected. The 2 men were take to Spencer tonight, where they will be held on the charge of robbing Gospart station.

Sept.10,1898. The preliminary examination of Mrs. Charles Evans closed today and resulted in Mayor Hadley binding her over to court on the charge of poisoning her husband. The evidence went to show that Evans had died from strychnine poison, and the theory of the state is that Mrs. Evans administered the dose in a capsule, pretending that it was quinine. Mrs. Evans defense was that her husband was a drinking man, and of unsound mind and committed suicide in a fit of despondency by taking a capsule of strychnine while Mrs. Evans was out of the room. Mrs. Evans testified in a loud clear voice and protested her innocence. She broke down several times and wept bitterly. She is now in jail, and the trial will likely come up in the 2nd week in October.
