The Washington correspondent of the Bos-

"Horatis Bolster, who was convicted YES
terday OF the murder of Joseph James, was
this afternoon sentenced to be hanged on the
9TH day OF June. just before sentence was
passed remarkable scene occurred in the
court room, which was densely crowded.
Bolster was asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed, when he
made long speech, detailing his version of
| the facts in the case. His statement was most
damaging to himself, and was, as Judge DIN
| said, sufficient to convict him without any ad-
ditional evidence. The wretched criminal
| admitted the shooting, but endeavored to
| throw such circumstances around it as would
| seem like justification, but which really por-
| trayed his guilt in darker aspect than the
witnesses had done. The desperate charac-
ter of the prisoner may be inferred from the
fact that when about to commence his speech
he asked permission to take position on the
witness stand near the Judge, but Judge Olin
showed that there was reason to fear the fell
low by remarking: Il do not like to have
rou too near me unless you have been search
ed Bolster's mother as stated in these dis
patches last night, resides in Connecticut, and
he was brought up under Christian teachings.
Judge DIN, in passing sentence, alluded to
this fact, and was much affected, as were al
so the prisoner and many of the spectators.
After receiving his sentence, Bolster was tax
en- back to Jail, and said he would at once pre-
pare for the worst, for he stood greatly in fear
of God and the Judgment on account of his
past life. There can be no hope of Execu-
tive clemency in the case, for the prisoners
own statement has put a pardon out of the
question. He has been a terror to this COM
munity for years, and was one of the vilest of
his class of prize fighters and thieves.

LEG CRusHEp.-Mr. Eugene Hubbard,

had one of his legs crushed in singular
manner on Friday last. He was in
the woods cutting trees and had just felled
one which, lodging in the top of another,
rebounded and fell to the ground in di-
rection not anticipated by Hubbard. In
attempting to cvade the falling tree, Hub
bard stumbled and fell over stump, but
not before the tree had caught his leg be-
tween it and the stump, crushing and
lacerating it in shocking manner. Fol-
some time Hubbard lay in this condition,
calling for assistance, before his cries wore
heard, and then neighbors had to be sum-
moned before the tree could be removed
DR.. Noble dressed the wound, and is en-
deavoring to save the leg from amputation
