THE HOMICIDES IN FLETCHER.-In
commenting upon the recent killing OF
Boomhour in Fletcher, the Richford
Sentinel says:
This is the fourth case of manslaugh-
ter that has occurred in Fletcher within
the La few years, and all seem to turn
out about the same. In the case of the
murder of Bailey by Scott, a (brother-in-
law. of BoOmhour), Scott was not found
guilty. Chase was murdered by Fulton,
but the law failed to do justice. The
killing of Mrs. Madden by her husband
was not proved, but he was convicted in
the minds of the people. And now
Boomhour is the fourth victim.
The killing of Chase by Fulton near
Fletcher Pond about twelve years ago,
is still fresh in the minds of the people
but the law failed to do justice, why ?
Immediately after the commission OF
the horrible deed, Fulton fled to the
woods, and though dilligent search was
made by the officers ofjustice to find him
he succeeded in Guiding them for ten
days or more. At length, when he was
discovered behind log in the forest he
took justice into his own hands before he
could be secure and died upon the spot.
We have nothing to say in defence OF
FLETCHER justice" which must pass into
a reverb. Thomas Ryan who caused
the death of Boomhour last week near
this histol ical pond, by beating him
had his examination at Fletcher and
was held in the sum of 500, for his ap.
pearance at the next term of County
Court. Patrick Ryan and TIT m an M.is
who were present at the affray were
deemed accessories, and were each helt
in the same SUN for trial.
