INHUMANITY.
A Child Whipped for an Hour on
n Straight stretch and 1 hen
Roasted Before "a Fire.

A mechanic named William Albrit.
ten was before Squire Coleman at
noon to-day, on a charge Of cruelty to
his stepsOn, little boy OF eleven
years OF age, named Jesse MAYNARD.
The case is one of the most in6uman
instances known to civilization. Even
the Apaches, in the torture OF their
captives, have never performed more
outrageous cruelty. And the only ex-
cuse Albritten gives is that the boy is
bad one, and he had determined TO
whip it out of him.
Some time last month Albritten took
the boy Jesse and whipped him on a
straight stretch for an hour according
to Lis own admission. Then when the
boys back had been beaten raw and
lay in Jumps and ridges much like a
tough beefateak after being hammered
for bBoil, the heaFtless savage took
the lad TO FIRE aud held his culver
ing flesh up close to it until Il was
baked. The result was that a physi,
clan had to be called and he has since
administered to the relief of the suf-
ferer, who until within day or two
was confined to his bed.
The officers OF the S. P. G. s. be.
came cognizant of the circumstances
some timeI ago, and a flew
days since they caused tbe
arrest of Albritten, When
taken before Esquire Coleman he
asked that he be fined or punished AZ
the Squire deemed best, 60 he could
pay out and go about his business
He was told that such action could
not be permitted. If, however. ht
chose to submit his case after wit.
nesses we're examined, the Squire
said he would consider it properly.
The poor boys mother, who is mar.
ried to the brute, who thus inflicted
so outrageous crime upon a helplesl
child, has no other home TO which
to turn, hence she is compelled Il
remain with him for her living Will,
she sees her child tortured anC
beaten SO cruelty. The child, too
slings to his mother and such G step
father because he has no where els,
to go. 1t is q pitiful, yes really ,
sickening, instance Of a mans ip6u
manity to one whom it is his dutv I,
feed, protect and epdeavor TO ipst5uoi
in the path OF duty and usefulness.
In the trial to day It was showr
that the entire front Of the poor child

in appearance. Albritten is himself
not bad looking man, but he hung
his head rather low during most of the
time the trial was progressing. The
attending physician DR.. Henning,
was examined, and said among
other things that the lad had
not been dangerously burned.
The shameful conduct of Albrltten
caused his co workers at the Charles
ton railway shops on yesterday to
hang him in efhgy to testify their
exeoriation Of the inhumanity Of the
individual, that few Of them speak to
and nearly all despise. After several
witnesses gave testimony, the case was
adjourned to three o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.

SHOOTING AT HUNTSVILLE.
A Supposed Safe RObber Shot and
Captured.
Escape OF an Accomplish.

During the afternoon of July Sd
j. &. Owen, Marshal of Corinth,
Miss, observed two strangers in that
town, but did not come in contact
with them until the next morning,
when he CHANGED to meet them in a
saloon. They had taken liquor be-
fore he Joined them, and declined his
invitation to drink with him, cycling
cautiously his official badge. He per-
sisted in being social, walked With
them to the railroad station, where he
reminded one of them-George An
derson-so pointedly of having met
him a dozen years ago that he could
not reasonably deny the identity.
When they separated Owen tele-
graphed City Marshal Latta, Column
bia, Tennessee, the nearest tele-
graph station to Waynesboro,
where some weeks ago a county
safe was blown open and $4,000 in
money carried away. Latta tele>
graphed that the George Anderson
gang of robbers was wanted. Frank
Botsford, Chief of Police at Little
Rock, telegraphed a like reply to a
similar inquiry of Owen, the charge
being that the said Anderson gang
had procured $500 of public and $1,000
OF private money at Clinton, Ark.
Previous to these robberies Ander-
son had gone to Clinton ostensibly to
buy stock.
First of all to respond to Ovens
kilograms was Captain OHaver, at
Memphis, who reported that members
OF this gang went east from LOnOke, ;.

Owen telegraphed to Iuka and
other points to put authorities on the
alert. His message was intercepted
by Mr.. j. W. Jordan, agent at Burns.
vile, Miss, who observed the
two men at that place, and
be went in search on this
mornings early train. He got off the
train at huntsville, and just as it
started he confronted the two men
and took hold of them beth. Very
soon he let 60 Anderson's companion
and was clutched with him, when the
one whose hands were freed drew a
pistol and would have fired, but for
the difficulty in raising the lock.
Owen loosed his hold on Anderson,
drew his pistol and shot the other.
Anderson ran away instantly, and the
other broke away also, although seri-
ously wounded. He was followed by
Owen, who gained on him so that he
was resorting to another pistol when a
second Ishot by Owen went through
his body. Anderson escaped. The
wounded man was treated by a
physician to whom he paid 500 from
a stuffed purse. He would not give
his name, but said that for year and
half he had gone by the assumed
name OF Brownlee. He was brought
to Uorinth on this mornings western
train, and put injail.
1t is expected that he will die.
The bullet, after passing through his
body, destroyed bis watch.
Brownlee is above the average height
strong physical development; has dark
hair, weras short mustache and is APP
parently thirty-seven years old. His
companion is dark, while his low fore
head and down cast eyes indicate
much training in ways that are dark.
There is, however, a chivalric manner
about him by which it may be infer
red that he has degenerated from re-
spectacle ancestry.

SAN ANTONIO, June 6.-[Special. 1.-The
WATSON court-martial assem- bled at the mil
itary headquarters this morning at 10
o'clock, General Small presiding, with a
full board, Captain Clous judge advocate,
Charges lst and I'd were supported by four
specifications, alleging in general terms
that he (Wasson) had embezzled at various
times since January 1st. 1888, the sums of
81, 900, $500, So, 900, 5000 and 5000. Charge
Sd, supported by specifications, recited
that he drew his check on the assistant
United States treasurer at New York for
$1,000, which was entered on the stub OF
his check book as $50, for the
purpose of deceiving the department
inspector and to cover his deficit, and
further alleging that while en- route from
Galveston to Fort Davis to pay off the
the false story of the robbery on the Texas
g. Pacific train of $24 900, when in fact $780,
600 of this sum was secreted in his private
office at his office at Galveston. This third
charge was brought under the articles of
war as conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. Major WATSON pleaded guilty
to charges / and 2. and to specifications 1,
q 8, and of the third charge, but pleaded
not guilty to charge 3 as whole.
The prosecution rested and the accused
asked that ]. A. Donagan and Mr.. Burk-
hurst OF Polk county, Iowa, be introduced
as witnesses in his behalf The testimony
of these witnesses was uniformly favorable
to the good character and conduct OF Was

recently on these charges.
The court then, ut about IL o'clock ad-
journed till tomorrow morning at 10
