Richmond, Mo., Oct. 30.- Interesting developments have come to light in the murder case of Mis. Jesse Winner and her two children ,but nothing conclusive enough to fasten the crime upon any one. The father, who is in jail accused of dispatching nis farnily, protests his innocence. He claims to have been away from home on the night of the murder and that he was in the company of Maggie Catron, whose presence in the Winner household had previously made trouble between Winner and his wife. A rumor conneoting the two men with the murder is afloat, but nothing positive has been adduced to substantiate it, though the woman has also been taken in custody. Foot prints of a woman and a man and a norse with three shoes and tracks of buggy wheels have been discovered near the scène of the crime. Such a horse was missing the night of the murder from a stable near where Winner claims io have staid. Mrs. Winner was a divorcee and came from Spaulding county, Ohio. Her first husband's name was Jacob Riser ! and her second marriage was the quel to an elopement. It is rumored that Riser was seen in Richmond a few days ago, but conflrmation of the story is unobtainable.
