Frank Kane sheet. a Police omeer.

Business for the next grand jury is fast ac-
cumulating and if the rate is kept up the May
term of the Superior Court will be an interest
ing one. 1t was only few days ago that we
recorded the deliberate shooting of one man by
another, and now we chronicle the fact of
wife beater resisting an officer with revolver
which he discharges with an unpleasant fire.
quency. Frank Kane who, until quite lately,
has kept rum shop on India street, had fit
of beating his wife Saturday-not an unusual
occurrence for him either By the way. After
driving her out of the house with her child,
officer Morse came to the rescue and drove him
to bed. Not long after the officer hearing the
wife crying for help, entered the house and Or
dered Kane to go to the station with him. He
dressed and started to go, but after reaching
the sidewalk asked permission to return for
some reasoo. He entered his shop, turned
down the gas, seized revolver and stepping
behind the counter dared the officer to touch
him, in the most violent language. The officer
reached for the man when he discharged the
revolver, the bullet striking MORSE on the chin,
making slight flesh wound. AT this the
officer renewed his efforts to get possession both
of the revolver and the man behind it. A long
scuffle ensued in which Kane again managed
to discharge the weapon, this time the ball
striking the officer in the forehead and glanc-
ing struck stevedore named Peter Harkins,
who had just arrived on the spot, in the shout
der The wound in the officers forehead bled
profusely, and he became quite faint. Harkins,
in the meantime, made a great cutlery which
caused a large number of Kane's friends to as
semble and at one time it looked as though
Kane woull get away as Morse was unable to
iron him alone. Kane saw what he had done
and had no idea of going to the station if he
could help it, At this point Mr.. George S.
Staples arrived and rendered the officer valua-
BILE assistance in taking Kane to the station
against the wishes of his friends.
Kane told the officers at the station that
Morse shot himself in trying to shoot him
(Kans) but the fact that it was Kane's revolver
that was broken in the scuff1a does away
with that story. Kane has been arrested be-
fore for wife beating, but will now be charged
with intent to kill.
Officer Morse had his wounds dressed and
was quite comfortable after his fierce encounter
with one of the strongest men in the city.

The ~. George prurder.

There is as yet no clue to the murderer Of
Mrs. Meseryey, who was found dead in her
house in st. George last week. A correspond.
ent furnishes some particulars additional to
those already published. The murdered woman
was last seen alive on Saturday evening, De-
cember %, as a young girl testified to seeing
her in the village Saturday evening before
Christmas. Aud on her return home that
evening she probably found the robber, and, as
it proved, murderer, plundering the house. The
appearances were that the murderer entered
the house by the buttery window. The two
pieces of laths that were placed over the lower
sash to fasten the window were lying on the
floor, and small piece of the sash was broken
off; the kitchen showed no signs of disturb
ance, and it looked as though Mrs. Meservey
fled to the adjoining room for safety. The dis.
ordered condition in which it appeared showed
that she had made desperate though futile
effort to preserve her life. A cloud which she
probably wore out, and had on at the time, was
drawn three times around the neck ard knot
ted as close as could seem possible for strong
man to do; the hands or wrists were tied
together with piece of codline. No severe
wounds or vital injuries were discovered upon
the person of the deceased; the frame of a
mirror, the glass of which, broken in a thou
sand pieces, lay scattered about the room, had
the appearance of having been used to infict
the several wounds and abrasions of the skin
that appeared upon the head and arms, and
from which the blood had flowed in great pro-
fusion, scattering the walls and floor of the
room; white wooden blanket that covered the
body, Counterpart and -several towels that
were seattle red about the floor were saturated
with blood; heEdress and uader-clothng we're
torn and bloody ;sthe face, swollen and dis
torted, was sbout the color of dark mahogany,
and could be only recognized by the peculiar
formation of the teeth ssbere were bruises
about the knees and shiHKA Robbery was un.
questfonably the motive that led to this iendish
deed. The robber was Undoubtedly discovered
while searching the house, and committed the
murder to, hide the robbery. The general
opinion is that this horrible crime was perpe-
trated by resident of st. George, and with
port erect" undiscovered, the murderer walks
abroad today among his fellow men. Five
weeks have elapsed since the murder was per-
petrated, ample time to remove all traces of
the contest from the person and clothing of
the guilty party.
