ined. He asked that witnesses be sum-
moned from kentucky at the Governments
expense to testify to his condition:
District-Attorney Corkhill said that he
would admit as true all that these wit
nesses would testify to. He believed that
Fenner was insane and thought it was best
for him to be where he was. He was op-
posed to letting him out on the streets to
kill somebody else. He would notify Mr..

Death of Pedro Pine.

Pedro Pine, the distinguished chief and
counselor of the Zuni Indians, died at the
Zuni village, in New Mexico, on the 23d of
last month, about 95 years of age. Pedro
Pine was one Of the members Of the Zuni
year, whose visit. it will be remembered,
attracted so much attention here and in
Boston. Pedro Pine spoke Spanish quite
fuently, thus enabling him to communi-
cate with the whites and Mexicans of that
country. The old man retained vivid
recollection of Calhoun, Monroe and other
prominent men of the Government. He
also possessed letters from General Sherman
and many other prominent Army officers,
speaking of him in the highest terms.
Pedro's son, who is now about 55 years of
age, is the present chief of the Zuni tribe.
