The GOLD HILL RAPE CAsE-THE
BRUTE WILLIAMS SENTENCED TO M
PmsoNMENT FOR LIFE EXCITING
SCENES IN CouRr.-At about 10 O'Clock
this forenoon, William Williams, the
fellow who so brutally outraged the
little daughter Of Mr.. Shulock in Gold
Hill last Monday, was brought into
the District Court at Virginia. The
Court room was densely crowded with
excited spectators, and the prisoner
looked frightened, rs he we'll might
be. Having plead guilty to the crime
OF rape, all that remained to do was to
sentence him. In doing so, Judge Ris-
Ing made somo very sever and appro-
pirate remarks upon the enormity Of
the crime, which he characterized as
the most revolving and heinous known
to the law, and regretted that the stat
ute did not provide a more severe pun
ishment for him. The only tit place
for a man Of his years, who could DO
guilty ofso horrible an outrage upona
little child, was the State Prison. His
Honor accordingly administered the
full penalty allowed by law, and con-
demned him to Imprisonment for life
at hard labor In the State Prison. The
verdict was received with loud cheers
by the spectators. When Williams
was being brought into Court, Mr..
Shulock, the father Of the little girl,
made IN attempt to shoot him as he
passed through the crowd. He drewa
deringer for the purpose, but before
he could shoot, Town Marshal Harkin
Of Gold Hill, who was watching him,
caught the weapon and prevented him,
~ thus shooting In a crowd he would
have been very likely to have killed
some one else instead of the right man.
Sheriff Atkinson, accompanied by
Chief of Police Downey, started with
the prisoner In a carriage for the State
Prison about noon. He exhibited con-
siderable signs Of fear al he passed
down through Gold Hill, and officer
Morrow rode In the carriage TO tho lower
end Of town as additional safety to
him. He Is now doubtless where he
belongs. May he never escape or be
pardoned out.
AID FOR A WORTHY ODEcT.-A sub
scription list Is being circulated in aid
Of the little daughter offs w. Shulock,
so cruelty ravished In this town last
Monday. J. J. Lacey, partner Of Mr..
Shulock In the shooting gallery, OIL
Main street, is the bearer Of the. SUBJ
scription list, the heading Of which Is
m appeal from the father himself, and
we understand that It is being liber-
ally responded to, as It should be. 1t
reads as follows: "To the Citizens OF
Gold Hill and Virginia City.-It has
become ms painful duty rs the father
of the unfortunate little child who was
80 inhumanly ravished n week ago
to-day, to seek at your hands the
means Of placing my child In an asy-
lum where she may recover from the
Injuries received by her. assist In OBJ
taining an education, and place her
far from the scene Of tho outrage, that
I'm a measure she may forget II POSI-
BILE, the terrible disgrace and suffering
of her Young days. l have, therefore,
been compelled to ask public charity;
but I am a stranger here, without
means, and the circumstances are OF
such a nature that they must be my
apology. Your assistance Will be most
thankfully received"

her quarters than she had expected she
would be. She expects to get a new
