based on the revelations of his wife Ira Stout
and Mrs. L. agreed that Littles was to be made

Field, a little before o'clock on the evening of
Saturday. December 10, and was followed by
Ira Stout and Littles-the former armed with
an iron weapon, supposed TO have been un-
known to Littles, and the latter with piece Of
chair, found on the spot. On reaching the
ground, favorable position was sought by Ira,
and the blows quickly given, which felled Lit
ties, and almost instantly proved fatal Littles
never had the opportunity to resist or defend
himself, and the blows were repeated until he
had almost ceased to struggle

fore being aware of danger, she too went down
the precipice, and in the fall broke her wrist,
and sustained other slight injuries The bruises
upon Mrs. Ia. = face, &c, were caused by the
fall. Her nose blcd profuscly, and her clothes
