MURDER IN A VISION.

TRAGEDY J&fIfEALED TO THE JICTIM'S SISTER. ,--' " New York, November 13. ygr A remarkable pcychic problem w is reported from Chicago, where Miss P£tg&|a Loganson, a nineteen-year-old girK Jgaw in a vision the murder of her-^fether Oscar, a farmer, at Marengo, jiartown sixty-sis miles away, and also revealed the spot where the body was buried. For several day* Miss Loganson asserted that her brother had been murdered By a neighbouring farmer, but the family paid no attention, until finally the girl insisted on sending a telegram, which brought the reply: "Oscar has disappeared." Then Miss Loganson and her elder brother went to Marengo. Miss Loganson, accompanied by the police led the way to the residence of Oscar Loganson's neighbour, a farmer named James Bedford. The house was closed and the doors were barred. When one door had been broken down the police found spots of blood on the floor and walls of the. kitchen. Miss Loganson then led the police to a fowlhouse which was paved with cobblestones. Pointing to one corner 6he said : "My poor brother is there." -The police inspector said it was impossible, for there was no evidence that the cobblestones had been removed since the fowlhouse was biult. Thereupon Miss Lojganson became hysterical, and the police, to quieten her, removed the stones. After probing the earth they found a coat, whereupon the girl ran from the building screaming, ''That is my brother's coat." The police continued digging and discovered Oscar Loganson's body buried five feet below the surface. The head had been crushed with an axe. The police telegraphed Bedford's description throughout the country and he was arrested at Ellis, Nebraska.
