to the utmost Of his power, but was finally
overcome. Wells, having possessed himself OF
the gun, receded a few steps, and, after calling
the boy disreputable name, DELIBERATELY
SHOT HIM! The entire load entered his body.
The collar.bone was broken into fragments,
the windpipe cut in two. and arteries were Sc
vered. Death ensued n few moments after the
occurrence. The remainder of the party arrived
lust in time TO see the boy expire. The ground
all round him was stained with blood.
Wells was arrested the same evening by
officer Wheat and, aft hearing before Justice
Crandell, he was committed to Jail for a further
hearing on Saturday.
A coroner's inques. was held over the body
Yesterday morning, and verdict rendered ac-
cordiug TO the facts.
