The Pembroke Tragedy--The Ey-
iGcnce against Lapage.

Lapage, the suspected murderer of
Josie Langmaid, made another des-
perate effort TO escape from the Con-
cord Jail Saturday, aud has been fac-
ed in irons. The accommodating evil
dence against him indicates that he is
not only the guilty man, but is one of
the most besotted monsters on the
criminal record. According to his
wife's account, he used mask when
he attacked and outraged her sister in
Canada five years ago. He was AZ
rested, but escaped by desperate fight
ing, while the officers were binding
his legs, and for some time lived in
the woods. Some two years ago he
travelled fifty miles to the house of
his cousin, and toully outraged her
person, escaping with her horse. His
wife says that he has made attempts
to ravish his own daughter, fifteen
years old, and that they have been
afraid OF their lives on account of his
brutality. The murderer of the Ball
girl is proved to have worn moccasins
at the time of the crime, and it is
known that Lepage wore them that
day, while it has been learned that
short time before the murder he in

were also found near the body Of Miss
Ball, while birch withe was found
tied around pine tree close to where
the body OF the Langmaid girl lay.
Lapage is known to be an expert in
making withes, even meuding har-
ness with them. A piece Of cloth
which looks as though bloody hands
had been wiped on it has been found
at Lapage's house, and his wife says a
shirt he wore on that day is missing.

Indian Frauds Whitew ashed

The party Of obscure gentlemen appoint
ed by President Grant to investigate Prof
Marsh's charges Of fraud and mismanage-
ment at the Red Cloud agency have sub
mitted their report, which is as long and
nebul0us as comets tail, only it is COM
posed Of whitcwaSh instead Of luminous
vapor. The commissioners confess that
q few barrels of pork of an inferior quality
were delivered; that on one occasion
some flour slipped through without proper
inspection; that certain sacks of it marked
as containing 00pounds, really contained
only So; that the distances on transporta-
ton routes were inacculately measured;
that there were Il few irregularities in
book-keeping-but on the whole they are
inclined to think that the Secretary Of the
Interior and the Indian Commissioner and
all their Subordinates with one or two eX-
ceptions did their duty, and that the In
dams are bad, uXgratcful set Of creatures
who ought to be put at hard labor on
short allowance for occassionng all these
ISLANDERS. And thereupOn the obscure
gentlemen who were to find out to whom
Delano had delegated his stealing proceed
to present their theories for the civilian
ton of the savage, suggesting among 9TH
err things that the Indians be furnished
with suits of ready-made clothing instead
of blankets. They fail, however, to say
what wholesale clothing establishments
they represent. For our part we think it
absurd to clOthe the Indians in the garb
of civilization at present. 1t would be
horrible to cheat people who wore linen
or even flannel shirts, out of their beef or
flour; and there is something absurd in
the idea Of q person in trousers and swal-
low tailed coat with brass buttons scalp
ing his fellow-ctizcn. The obscure gem
tlemen in the commission had better give
up the notion. The Presidents men have

have searched accordingly. In the reye-

suggested toproye the dishonesty of their
investigation.
