turned with verdict of guilty OF murder
IN the first degree.
Frazier Copeland, negro, was Gcuted
at Walhalla, South Carolina. for tie muir
der of William Hunnicutt on tn pd Of
December last What il most ldable
about the case Is, that Copeland 4 the
time of the murder, was preaoG in
good standing. Hunnicutt and is ten
year old boy had driven from thei lone
in Keowee township to Walhalla al mar
keted three bales of cotton. On tMrway
home In the evening, they were oWaken
by the negro who asked and recei'd per-
mission to ride in the wagon as fl as the
"distillery," two miles ahead, nea which
he said he lived. After going )out a
mile, however, he got out, aud H,ncutt
told him he could ride turtle il he
wished. The negro replied by liking
Hunnlcutt severe blow on the lebide of
the head iracturing the skull Anlilar
blow, but not 50 fatal, was dealt t boy.
Both father and son were thrown I'm the
wagon, and Supposing them dea' Cope
land fastened them upon the wan and
started the mules on their way. Dmng
to the Kane Creek bridge, the wae, stiik-
ing the abutment, threw the boy 1t and
the fall brought him to his conscisn,ss.
He climbed upon the wagon and lie as
far as the distillery, where the mus ran
the wagon against stump by the inside
and stopped. The boy, nearly desfrom
his wounds, unhitched one OF thelules,
and mounting its back rode to hIsone,

howe'er, though recolecting all the Incl.
den,sof the night, was unable, at the in

was or to give any clew to his identity.
| But Copeland attended the inquest and
wa, so fidgety and laxative as 10 excite

because he had remembered that next Sun.

A Characteristic Kentucky Murder.


On Friday Of last week Capt. Pail. Il.
Thompson, member Of congress from Ken
lucky, shot Walter Davis IN the cars on
the Cincinnati Southern railroad near
IIarTodsburg, as he was stepping from the
smoking car into another. The bail went
through Dayis's head, producing instant
death. They had met in II passenger car,
and Thompson Immediately began an as
sault on DAVIS, Tho tried to escape, AS
he got on the platform, Thompson drew
his revolver, and, saying, You'll not take
my wife to Cincinnati again. fired, and
DAVIS fell dead. Davis was s grocer, and

Chicago. Thompson got off the train and
walked away.
ThOmpsOn's wife, it appears, who had
been in delicate health, had by taking ale
and wine "to build her up" contracted Il
strong taste for intoxicating drinks. Last
fall she had accompanied her husband on
his way to Washington as tar as Cincin
natl, where he left her at a hotel, as he sup.
posed, in charge of friend, to return
home the same evening. DAVIS, an old
friend and acquaintance of the family,
however, met her at the hotel and persua-
ded her to remain over night, taking her
to the theatre, plying her with liquor until
she was "blind drunk" then taking her tc
his room IN the hotel and debauching her
finally throwing her out in the hall, to be
picked up by the hotel servants IN the
night, in which condition she was found
by her friends, who cared for her after tina;
and next morning sent her home. The
'escapade" OF Davis IN the matter was
kept secret until a week or two ago, |
when an employee of the hotel related the
affair to Thompson, who lost no time 10

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-The advance in North

the ONLY feature this morning, Itwas occasion
ed by little scare among the shorts. When
they ceased purchasing it dropped back to 5054.
Oregon Transcontinental was supplied freely,
selling below 81. Missouri Pacific was rather
PRESSED for sale and looked badly. 1t appeared
to be entirely unsupported. and was one of the
weakest. The market became very dull during
afternoon hours. What little activity existed
conferred in half dozen properties. There wa.
no demand. apparently, except from those who
were closing deals for the week, and it was not
difficult for them to obtain their stocks without
causing furry in prices. Oregon
railway distinguished itself by q
drop from 961x to 81. The
close was exceedingly tame. Prices as gen.
eral thing were inclined to weakness, with bu,
little prospect of any change for the better right
away. Oregon Transcontinental touched 80 a,
the end, the lowest price in its history. The
street. is flooded with the stock, with pros
pect of t-esh supply should it decline still

AN EXPERT THIEF CAUGHT.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-At Z O'Clock this morning
Mr. q. w. Demerell, occupying room S3l at
the Tremozt house, was aroused from his .s.unl-
bsr by hearing some one in his apartment. The
intruder was caught by employe of the house.
At the station the prisoner, who gave his name
as VIM. Quinn, was searched, and in his posses
sion were found two pocketbooks, each
containing $5 in change and bills, and silver
watch. One pocket book was the property OF
the fremont house guest, who was visited this
merning. Wm. Quinn was identified by the
central station officers as an old timer. Invee-
tigstion brought t, light his photograph in the
rogue's gallery. BE claims to come from St.
Louis. 1t is asserted that Philadelphia knows
him best. The silver watch found upon him
was identified by its number as beng one
stolen from drummer fof 8
New York cigar concern when
he was stopping at the Briggs house some time
ago. The early capture of Quinn is looked upon
by the policeas lucky chance for Chicago. The
prisoner is a well dressed, mild, middle aged
man wearing full beard. When accused he
was silent and dignifed, and would say nothing
more then that he bought the watch in st.
Louis, but could not fix the date. He is char
acterizad as q very dangerous to let loose
on the community. He is now behind bars II
the county jail.

THE EMMA BOND CASE.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. pa night session of
the Bond trial was held last night to argue
the question, whether the stehographsrs'
notes of the preliminary trial could be
used to impeach the testimony of Mrs.
Jno. G. Montgomery. The court, this
morning, decided that the notes could be
introduced by the prosecution, but all of
the testimony, not part of it, must be con-
sidered. The arguments are still going
and the defense are fighting at every
point.
After the arguments we're finished the
testimony of a number of witnesses
at the preliminary trial was admitted on
the part of the prosecution, the object
| being to contradict the evidence given by
| the same witnesses at this trial. James
Wilkens was theu put on the stand to i'm
| peach Clementi's veracity. He said he
knew number of people who would not
believe anything ClementI said, up-
less corroborated by vsracioHs people.
| Being cross examined he could name only
three men who spoke against Clements
| truthfulness. Recess was then taken.
Several other witnesses testified that
| Clement was untruthful. It is believed
| all the evidence in rsbuttal will be in by
| o'clock when the case closes, and the argu-
ment will begin. It is thought the case
will go to the jury On Monday, but should
the arguments not be concluded by that
time, it will be continued on New Years
day.
Some half dozen witne sses in all test fed ts
Clements reputation for veracity as not good
after which the case was closed and the argument
began. Amos Miller, prosecuting attorney, o.
Montgomery county, opened for the prosecution
an was fsllewed by John Nc Bride for the de
fense. The night session is now In progress.
