It was this environment that pro- duced a thing, in many respects re - ambling a man, yet so devoid of moral conception) as to deliberately kill a 15-3'ear-old boy, not in a mo- ment of passion, but deliberately, and for the teason that he would profit by the erlme—that he would be the preferred child, perhaps, of his em- ployer, and, perhaps, receive treat- ment as good as that accorded Willie Freeman, the adopted child of the old farmer. What will prevent Ring be- ing hanged is not Apparent. In a sense he is of weak mentality, or other else he would liardly have meekly sabmitted, as a man to being lashed by his employer when he failed to please lam. Ills manner is that of the slaee bowed. down.o hungry does the murderer appear for kind words, that the pitying smile of a reporter caused him to brighten up and ask his guard to let "that man peak to me." So much like a slaee is King that his guards do not treat him as a murderer, and a man made ed yesterday afternoon, the jury desperate by the proximity of the finding that the boy came to his gibbet. death from a gunshot wound from Not Guardea Closely. the hands of Charles William King. During the trial he was seated near the old church door, 10 feet from the constable. He was not handcuffed, and was taken to the hotel for his meals, following hie guard like a dog. Thnt the constable did not fear an effort to escape was evident, for he newer looked around to see if ids ebarge was following. The authorities even discussed the ativleability of letting the prisoner sleep in the vil- lage, h.otel eionday night to save a trip bavk to the St. Thomas jail. Wit Ask for Penalty. The only new evidence brougbt out was that Mr. Freeman was in the habit of whipping Charles King, the accused, and the last time he wilip- ped him was in Stine last in the field, because be did not attend to the seed drilling as Mr. Freeman thought be should after repeated warnings. King looked better and more at ease to -day- than at pre- vious examinations. He was taken to St. Tbomas jail last night to await his preliminary examination before the Police Magistrate. Moses awry.

Chenehou is built on a hillside, and in the centre of the city is a famous spring, from -widen tbe people obtain much of their water. Tide was reported to ba.ve been poisoned by 1.11 eforeigners, and hence the high death rate. One afternoon Mr. Lewie was studying with his teacher, and Mr. Bruce was in his room across the hall, when in an instant the house and street became crowded with peo- ple.- Mr. Bruce was drawn by his hair out of the room, and into( the yard, where with clubs, stones, k.nives, swords and torture, they soon kill- ed him. Mr. Lewis and hie teacher went out at the back door into the yard, and started to climb up on an old shed, when a stroke from a spes,r brought the former to the ground. With the same instruments as used above his body was soon be- yond recognition. Eyes were knock- ed out, and the bodies otherwise DM- tilated beyond recognition. After this the mob deetroyed all foreign books and other articles they could not use. The trunks and boxes were broken open, but none or the poi- son could be round. When the crowd bad almost dieappeared, the Chihli:a arrived, and had their bodies remov- ed into their respeetive roome.
