aud struck him IN the back Mrs Wheeler,
an old lady living in smother part Of the
hou,e saw this blew. and ia her fright ran
for the beighbors. but heard the sound Of
other blows as she Was leaving. II seems
ihn Psndolph then searched the clothes Of
hi. victim, took his poke, book AMI kpife,
and carried them quite distance from the
house aud hid them 10 hollow STUMP in
the woods. He then returned to the house,
threw blanket over kinsmau as he lay IN
the yard still nliye. aud went to one Of his
nsghbors for help. stating that kiusman
had had 81. On approaching the house
they we're met BY the persons whom Mrs

mitted that he struck him aud ella med that
il was done in self defense. When pressed
further be confessed that he had taken away

found ill his death, which occurred on Tues
day. the 18th. A post mortem examination
was held by Drs MoseIey and Turner Three
Of the ribs we're found broken from the back
bone and pressed into the vital organs The
skun was also broken by another blow OF the
axe. Kinsman s pocket-book contained but
six dollars, but he was generally supposed
TO carry Eve or six hundred dollars with
him. aid the hope Of finding this is thought
to have caused the murder. The people Of
Sandgate were very much excited about the
affair. and ifmorc persons had arrived a, the
scene Of the murder al an early hour, PEN
dolph would quite likely have been executed
without trial. Kinsman was quiet aud
inOHensive man. PendOIph is between thr-
~ and forty years Of age, and had previous
ly borne bad character.
