ready to commit any lawless act. One of the
party asked Martin II he was Father Nh
thew man. Martin replied that he was. This
was the signal for an attack upon him aud
his companAon. They were beaten with
bludgeOps, stabbed with knives, and treated
TO shower OF bullets from the drunken Mol
lies. Mccartney was killed outright by a
pistol shot, and Martin was SO terribly in
