THE CLAYsvIILE BASTARD.
WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 21-The facts
connected with the incendiary fire at Clays-
vile, Pa, reciting the particulars of the at,
tempt of young man to fire his fathers
house, mentioned IN these dispatches last
evening, are augmented to-day by fuller re-
ports from the scene of the occurrence.
James Worrill, the son and the perpetrator
of the unnatural crime, was studying for the
ministry, and few evenings before the fire
led IN prayer meeting. 1t seems that his
desire for money had become mania with
him. Some time preceding the fire he stole
several of his fathers sheep and sold the
pelts, and then innocently helped his father
search for the sheep. Ashort time after this
the house was robbed of several hundred
dollars, James claiming to lose So by the
robbery, to blind the folks to the fact that
the robbery was reality, committed by him,

cendiary fire, and the fixing of the guilt
upon the most unnatural son. In these
dispatches, last evening, it was stated that
one sister and the father was locked up in
the burning house, but it is now learned
lat his sisters were locked
in their rooms; that after the house
was set on fire by James, one of his sisters
escaped and fled across the country to warn
the neighbors, who arrived in time to rescue
the rest of the family. It is said that young
Worrill tried to poison the family some time
before the fire. The young man is said to
have escaped to Ohio, assisted in his flight
by his father, who through all has lived to
shield his son from the indignation of his
neighbors. The affair has created decided
sensation in Claysville, where the family are
known, and the facts were only learned by
the persistent inquiries of the neighbors,
who demanded to know the name of the in
cendiary.
