The Ball Murder---A Strange Story.

The reader has not Yet forgotten the
horrid murder at st. AlLdn> last sum
mer. of Miss Ball, the school teacher
Things have recently occurred of such
Il nature that the inquest was renewed
last Thursday. We copy from the
Messenger, advising the reader to take
with Il large grain of salt:
On the 22nd day of September. Il
Young man named Perkins. ~ Years
old, from Fairfax, went lo work for MIR.
\. }. Smith, on Il farm lying between
Georgia Bay and st. Allans. As they
were milking one night he said he
knew where those clothes were Mr.
Smith made some reply to the effect
that they had brought them in with
them, surprising that he referred To
their coats, which they had thrown of
in the field, while at work. But Per
kins said he didn't mean that. but re-
terred to the clothes of Miss Ball.
smith then drew ont il story which led
him to suspect that he WAS on il clue
so he thought he would quietly follow
it up.
Taking into his confidence Geo
Bronson, they went to the Young man
home i'll Fairfax, aud there the boy
mother. Mrs. Riggs, told them the same

diScloSes that the holder has not COM
Piled with the law : and in others, GER
titicates have been obtained where the
persons were not only not entitled to
be naturalized. but had not been with
in the United States ut the time of the
pretended naturalization. Instances of
each of these CLASSES of fraud are dis
covered at our legations. where the GER
titicates of naturalization are presented,
either for the purpose of obtaining pas
ports or in demanding the protection of
the legation When the fraud is APP
parent on the face of such certificates,
they are taken up 10y the representa-
tiveS of the government. and forward
ed to the Department of state. But
even then the record of the Court i'll
which the fraudulent naturalization oc-
CURED remains, aud duplicate certili-
Gates are readily obtainablc. Upon the
presentation of these for the ISSUE of
passports or demanding the protection
of the Government, the fraud sometimes
escapes notice. and such certificates are
not unfrcquently used in the trImSac
ton of business to thr deception and
injury of innocent parties. Without
placing any additional obstacles in the
way of obtaining citizenship 10y worthy
and well intrntiomcd foreigners who
come in good faith to east their lot with
ours, earnestly recommend further leg
i>latiom to punish fraudulent natural
ization. and to secure. the ready can
collation. of the record of every natural
ization made in fraud.
