Shocking Tragedy in China. Maine

The associated press dispatches report a
most atroeious murder near Weeks mills in
China village, twelve miles frsm Augusta.
For cold blOoded wickedness and apathetic
Indifference the murderer will rank with the
most hardened criminal on record. One
week ago Saturday a young man named
Charles Merrill killed his mother in the
barn near the house BY striking her on the
head with a hammer. He concealed the
body in the hay-mow until it was frozen.
and then cut it into pieces, part of which
he burned as well as possible in the stove
and fireplace, throwing the charred remains
into the manure heap. For several DAYS
his mothers non-appearance elected no
comment, but suspicion began to point to
young Merrill as the perpetrator Of some
foul deed. On Saturday search was made
and portions of the skull and body found.
Merrill was arrested Sunday and confessed
all. Upon being pressed and urged to make
a clean breast Of it, be told the story of his
crime amid sobs and frequent pauses. He
said that on the Saturday afternoon on
which the deed was committed, he returned
from the mills with his mother about dusk.
He went into the barn to put up the horse.
and while there his mother went out to get
the sleigh robes. He deliberately erept up
behind her and struck her on the head with
a hammer. The first blow did no, kill her.

She had strength enough to gasp. "Did YOU

in the skull She said no more but fell up
on the floor dead On Monday. after hav-

Further Particulars of the Murder in
China.

Charles Merrill. the murderer Of his
mother in China confesses the murder in
all its horrible details He is about % wears
old and has had bed reputation for some
time, having been frequently arrested for
stealing Last fall his mother turned him
out Of the house on account Of his irregu-
larities and he now confesses that he con-
templated killing her at that time. His
father went into the woods 70 work during
the winter and Charles was taken back to
do the necessary work about the house and
assist his mother. There is nothing to indi-
cate that there was any unusual trouble ex-
isting between him and his mother at the
time of the tragedy but everything goes to
show that the terrible deed xas premedita-
ted and cold blooded.
There is bill now before the Legislature
for the re-establishment of capitol punish
ment and If seems as if q crime like the
present ought to convince our legislators
that the present law does not provide suit
able punishment There was intense excite
nent among the people of the town on the
discovery of the crime and considerable talk
Of lyncaing the criminal. There is, however,
little danger of that among the law-abid-
ing people of Maine, but the tendency is in
that direction when tksy feel that such an
strecious crime is not Likely 10 be suitably
punished under the laws Of our State.
