whether he had ever belonged to tho

asked to see their authority to do SUCH
a thing. when revolver was drawn by
one of the party, and his life was threat

submit. The robbers took him into tina

The following are the additional par
ticulars of the young man Kane:

in conversation in the store, when wo-
man stopped at the door and said, Here
is man taking your straw, and he says
he is going to set fire to it," The party
left the store, and walked up Passyunk

the store and the prison. Mr.. Meginnis
noticed man standing with his back

arms extended over the top of 1t. Mr..
Megnnis looked at the man and said,
Ned il that you ?' The reply was,
"Who is that fellow following me?"
pointing to the deceased. AT this mo-
ment the man Ned drew a pistol from
his pocket, and Mr. Meginnis grasped
him by the arms, and seeing he was in-
toxicated, attempted to pacify him. Ono
shot was fired, and about that time man
was leading horse into lot close to the
to the place, aud remarked, q Ned, don't

fired, and the deceased, who had stepped
back at the first fire, turned at the So
cond shot ftnd fled through the store Of
Mr.. Meginnis, going II distance of two
hundred feet, into the stable.
One of the parties in the store called
to Mr.. Meginuts and told him that Bar

not realize that Barney had been shot,
and opened his shirt, when he discov-
