the hearing Of The case for this morning at
nine O'Clock.
Coroner Menzies Immediately hastened
to The spot where the dead body OF the
child was found, and summoned a jury'
when after examining 6Ye OF the parties
who frsl burst into the house, not one OF
whom, however. could throw any light as TO
whether the father or mother Of the child
had committed the bloody deed, the further
hearing of testimony was postponed until
thi. morning
The only information derived from the
eldest boy. in reply TO who bad injured
him and the other children, is that the folks
in the house did it, When taken to the Of
ice OF the U Uailed States Marshal, the wos
men declared that they hvd received their
wouads in the melee which followed the
entrance Of the posse into the house, but
this is known to be untrue. The fearful set
lies between one or the other OF the mis-
cradle parents, perhaps both, but, doubtless,
the truth viii be brousht out by the Coro'
ner to day.
The old couple are mild AMI rather in-
te,ligent in their appe trance; ths mother OF
the children is good looking, hearty me-
gress, while her husband bears the appear
auce Of having been well clrcd for, in fact,
young Marshall states that he has always
treated rim more as a companion than

hood and have grown up together, "And
now" said he, if money can save him
from the effect of any rash act he has COM
i mtted, am willing to give it to any amt"
