Murderer Makes No Attempt to Escape
and is Now in Stratford Jail.
A despatch from Stratford says:
!What bears every evidence of hav-
ing been a brutal murder was com-
mitted on !Wednesday afternoon at
the home of 1Wn1. Peak, a respec-
table farmer of Downie, two and a
half utiles west of this city. The
victim was Mrs. Peak, aged 65 years
and her alleged murderer is a negro
named Frank ltunchnlan.
3dra. Peak had been left alone in
the house while her husband and
two sons went to the fields. One
of the sons, John, returned to tno
house about three o'clock to get a
drink of water, and found Hunch -
man sitting on a step of the cellar
stairs, and his mother lying (lead
is the cellar, covered with blood,
everything indicating that her head
had beou battered against the cel-
lar floor. The hands and clothing
t i the negro were also bloodstained.
The unfortunate w•oulan had evi-
ct( tit ly been dead about an hour
when found. Peak gave the alarm
to the neighbors, then cants to the
city and notified the police. When
an officer returned the neighbors
had Itunchnlan tied tip, and he was
brought here and lodged in jail. He
had evidently been drinking.
The prisoner had the day previous
just completed a terra of twenty
nays in jail for vagrancy, having
been committed from Listowel, and
was wandering about the city on
