'respondence Of the Chicago Time

Correspondence OF the Chlcago Times
DETROIT, MICH, October l4.-Capt. John
2. Ward was fatally shot at Lexington, last
evening, by young Farman, a boy fifteen years
DID, a brother of the girlwhom. Ward recently cen
outraged. The preliminary exam1natlon, OF W ara
on the charge Of rape was taking place. A
portion Of the evidence was in, and the court
adjourned about nine o'clock IN the evening
The next morning young Farmann, who :, had
been observed in the room intently watching
his victim throughout the day, followed War as
he left the room When about one hundred
yards down the street he stepped close behind
Ward, drew revolver; and fired.
The ball entered the small ofhis back, sever
ing the spinal column, and passed out below
the lower rib. The murdered man sank to the
ground, when the boy fired two more shots,
which took effect, producing flesh wounds.
The boy then went back to the court room
and gave himself into custody. Greatlndlggna-
ton previously existed in the town against
Ward, and the boy was applauded tor the act.
Ward was man of great wealth, which ne
used freely to screen himself, and was noted
as seducer of young girls. In

New YoRK, Dec. 2.--Geueral Wool
publishes letter in the New York
Herald, in which he says that General
Scott in his autobiography has com nit
ted an error in giving an account Of the
capture from the British by the Ameri-
can troops of the heights Of Queenstown,
Canada, on the morning of October
18th, 1872, and of the death on that
occasion Of the English General, Brock.
Gen. Scott gives the credit of the capture
Of the Heights principally to detach-
nents of the 9th and 23d infantry, o
company of light artillery, and some
New York militia, naming the officers
by whom they were commanded, and
also states that General Brock received
his mortal wound at the foot of the
Heights. Gen. Wool says that he him
self, then captain, led the forlorn hope
which made the important conquest,
and that it consisted of 240 men of the
18th infantry, one company under Capt
Ogilsbie and q small detachment of
artillery. Only three of the officers
mentioned by General Scott, he states,
took part in the engagement in which
Captain or General Wool was severely
wounded Gen. Wool also maintained
that Gen. Brock fell on the Heights, and
not at the foot, while en- leavoring to
rally his men for the purpose Of recap.
turing their lost battery.
