of these German outlaws, and we will
here copy two dispatches from the
Commercial, showing that outlawry
may react upon the criminals soon in
a most fearful manner:
CLEVELAND, O., April 22.-The ar
rest of two men and two women to-
day on charge of assault with in
tent to kill, brought out the particu-
lars of brutal affray which occurred
last Saturday in Parma, seven miles
from. this city. John Gehring, one
of the men arrested, is proprietor of
saloon in Parma, and in his employ is
a man whom he pays So per week,
while at the same time the township
pays the man money because Of ina
bility to work. This state of affairs
was very distasteful to farmer named
A. Humbel, who lives near Parma and
pays taxes. Humbel, who, when in
toxicated, is said to be very quarrel
some, went to Gehring's saloon on
last Saturday, and while there row
arose. Blows followed words, and
Humbel, it is alleged, was kicked from
the saloon by Gehring, aided by Mrs.
Gehring and Lewis hilbert and wife,
who ali live in the saloon building.
After getting the man outside, it is
said his assailants fell upon him with
beer mallet and stones and pounded
his head almost to a jelly. Humbel
has gradually grown worse since the
assault, and doctors now say there are
no hopes Of his recovery. He has
been unconscious since the terrible
beating. The two men and their
wives were arrested this morning, and
brought to the city, where they gave
bail in $500 each for their appearance
in Court.
News has reached the city that
Humbel died this evening, and before
breathing his last charged the Geh-
rings and Milberts with the crime.
An examination since death shows
the mans injuries to have been Of a
horrible nature. A physician says
that in addition to the wound on the
head, the poor victims stomach, liver
and spleen were pounded into one
mass, and his living so long was 6
mystery.
New warrants have been issued fol
the accused, charging them with mur.
der, and officers have gone in search
of them. Humbel was forty-five
years Of age, and leaves wife anG
seven children, the oldest but four.
teen years Of age.
