MURDERER

J.BUSHMAN, the murderer of his mother-in-law, Mrs. STEWART, was arrested

by LOUIS STUBER, his brother-in-law , in a cornfield about seventy-five
yards from the house where the deed was done. He was brought to town and

carried before "Squire Collins" and upon waving trial was committed to
jail to await the next term of circuit Court. BUSHMAN said yesterday
that he was coming to town to surrender when arrested., and that the
night before he had gone sixty miles from Paris, crossing into Kentucky.

He was considraby exhausted and suffered from the effects of exposure
since he became a fugitive. Sheriff HAYNES and possee and City Marshall
Mills were out searching for him when he was arrested by STUBER. It is
not known wheather STUBER will claim the $100 reward offered for
BUSHMAN"S arrest.
It was feared that BUSHMAN would resist arrest. It is also believed that

he ventured back to the scene of his crime with the intention of killing

his wife, who had been very anxious to see him arrested and punished.
Mrs. MARY ANN STEWART, keeper of the house of ill fame near paris, was
shot by her son-in-law , BUSHMAN, on Christmas eve, from the effects of
which she died Sunday evening.
BUSH, as he is generally known, was trying to extort money from his wife

and her mother and became engaged in a fight with his wife, when the old

woman interferred. Whereupon he drew his pistol and opened fire on both,

the bullets aimed at his wife going wild, but one struck Mrs. STEWART on

the fourth rib on the right side, glancing around and passing out the
back. It is said that the woman was armed, but it is not known to be a
fact.
Immediately after the shootong, BUSH came to town and bought a quantity
of morphine and made his escape. Since then he has been in the vicinity
by several negroes and had been chased day and night by Sheriff HAYNES
and posse and Marshal MILLS, but had managed to elude the officers.
He is about 40 years of age, with his home being at Bowling Green, but
came originally from Indiana. He married a daughter of the murdered
woman in 1892.
The murdered woman was buried in the city cemetery. She was born of
respectable parentage in this county and led a virtuous life until the
war, her husband being a respectable man and a confederate soldier. For
many years she kept the house of ill-fame near town, where she met her
violent death. The name of STEWART was neither her maiden name nor that
of her husband but an assumed one.
There is a strong feeling against BUSHMAN here. -Bowling Green Times
