Fisk and Boyd were brought before the
court this afternoon, Thursday Two,
of the Misses Luzadder gave in their evil
dence, from which we gain the following
additional particulars
Two men came to their orchard on Fri
day, and were seen peeping around the
trees, until the women ordered them 10
leave. They left and returned, not sup
posing they were known. and asked for
something to eat, saying they were very
hungry. The women being suspicious of
their conduct, told them where they could
get something to eat further on; but they
insisted on having it there. as they were
''.,Ceak and hungry" They were then
then furnished with ''cold bite" after
which they offered half dollar to pay
for it; they were charged twelve and
half cents for the meal. and the change
handed them from the saucer in the cup
board. When the robbers broke in on
Saturday night. one of them whom they
recognized as having been there on Fri
day, went right TO the cupboard and rob
bed the saucer from which his change
had been taken on the previous day.
When the villains first went TO the door
they were refused sdmittance. and were
asked what they wanted They replied,
1--WE want your money"-to which the
women replied. 1--WE u have ISsY : = d One
lie p and proceeded to break open the
door. The women wishing to brighten
them away. pretended that there. was a
man in the house. and called Aaron to
help them /; but the ruffians answered,
1--WE don't care for your Aaron" and
burst the door open, when the scenes de-
scribed above took place.
The Williams made small light to aid
them in finding money by burning corn
stalks on the hearth, and by lighting
matches occasionally.
They had no doubt supposed that the
Misses Luzadder had large amount of
money In the their possession. but their
hendish holiness only resulted in stealing
from four "ged females the pitiful sum of
TEN DOLLARS, to recover which they
choked and threatened to kill.
| We have seldom heard of such an out
rage, and nothing short of penitentiary
Tor life. or HANGING, should be the doom
of such fiends. Nav justice be done
Alter trial. Fisk was committed to Jail.
The trial of Boyd was adjourned over un-
til Friday morning. when he said that he
could bring witnesses to prove that he
was not about here on Friday.-Prunty-

twenty cents per hundred. the twenty ex.
