him according to the Lynch code A rope was
put around his neck, and be was dragged forward
for the purpose OF being swung up on the next
projecting limb. Better counsel at Last prevailed,
and il was foally concluded to leave him to
abide trial by jury at the hands OF the consti-
tuted law. The neat difficulty was 10 find a
safe place of confinement, there being no suit
able Jail in Middleport. the county seat, where the
murder was committed IL taken back to Kan
kakee. il was feared, owing 10 the great excite
meDt which prevailed. that summary pro-
ceedings would Immediately be commenced. and
our informant thinks the criminal was taken u
La Sale or Chicago, where there would be no
chance OF escape. We shall probably have fur
ther particulars in day or two.
MIR. n elson had been recently ia Peoria, and
will be remembered as dealing in stencils for
marking clothing and other articles. This will
account for all of his clothing being so plainly
marked, and bis being so particular also in hay-
ing his name engraved upon his watch. chain ard

was engaged in. The name OF the murderer
was not sscertaned, but he is described small
