Horrible Cases of Cruelty Perpetrated
ON the Grow Of an EnElIsh Vessel,


BosroN, January 25.-The Herald gives
an account Of the barbarous treatment
practiced on the crew Of the British bark
Aida by the chief officers Of the vessel,
which for a system Of refined cruelty sur
passes even some OF the acts perpetrated
by the iniquitous Spanish Inquisition. The
vessel left Cadiz on the 2sth OF last Novem-
ber with three officers-Captain Ceay, the
first mate, the Captains son, and James
Connor, the second mate, and six men be-
fore the mast The vessel was hardly
three days out when the first act OF cruelty
was performed, and William johnson was
the victim. The first mate, without the
slightest provocation, poured boiling
hot water over his legs and
feet, and applied to him the most
profane language. onthe LIST OF December
the mates called one Of the men into the
carpenter shop, pounded him and pinched
his flesh so hard as to actually sever it from
his body, then sent him to take charge Of
the wheel, and wound up by kicking him
about the legs and and ankles until they
were dislocated. 1t was, however, toward
Thomas Proven, who is mere boy, only
IS years OF age, that the officers entertained
special hatred, and it was upon him that
the most barbarous acts were committed.
One day the first mate ordered him to him
to bring coal-tar pot and brush. Proven
obeyed. The first mate asked him, ibid
you ever cross the trades before2" Proven
replied, mo" and, as he opened his
mouth TO Say so, the second mate, Cennor,
held him by the head, while the first mate,
Ceay, thrust the tar brush down the lads
throat. Connor then said, There Is q
second edition to this; you have got a
disease, but we have got cure for it" He
then unbuttoned the lads pantaloons, and
the two fiends then completely tarred his
| person. Not satisfied with that, each mate
got the boy by the leg and pulled him
around and around the deck, humping
him against this thing and that thing un-
til their victim was too weak TO speak. A
iavorite amusement Of the fiends was TO
compel Proven to 20 about the deck and
suck the icy bolts AT another time the
first mate ordered Kim 70 bring him u
paint pot and brush, and when the boy
brought them he and the second mate
lashed his hands behind him and painted
Proven's face and body entirely over.
They then, as the grand finale, thrust the
paint brush down the lads throat. Upon
the arrival OF the vessel at port, complaint
was made and order issued for the arrest
OF the human devils. The first and second
mates are under arrest, and the arrival Of
the captain from New York is anxiously
awaited to accord him official attention.
Proven is in critical condition, and fears
are entertained that his injuries will prove
fatal

Of the Crime.
Special Dispatch TO the Intelllgencer.
CLAREsBURa, January 25.-At II o'clock
this forenoon the jury in the Boggess
murder trial came in with verdict Of
guilty OF murder in the first degree, and
further finding that he be sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. The.verdict is in &C.
cord with public opinion. A motion for a
new trial was made by the prisoners coun-
sci and an appeal may be taken, should it
appear there is any error in the trial.
The prisoner was much affected by the
verdict. Strange as it may seem, his own
daughter, an intelligent and rather pre-.
possessing young lady Of eighteen years, is
entirely satisfied with the verdict She
was an eye witness OF the horrible deed
and did not believe her father insane;
still, she did not want him hung. The
county OF Harrison Is one hundred years
old, and this case is without precedent
in the Courts Of the county. We are and
intend to remain law abiding people.
John R. Boggess, the convicted man, was
well.to.do. farmer, living at Rock Camp,
Wade district, about fourteen miles from
Clarksburg. He was Of an old and highly
respectable family, which was one feature
Of interes! in the trial. The murder was
without parallel in that section OF the
country since man named Clemms, who
lived near Clarksburg murdered his wife
and family century ago. The story Of
the Boggess tragedy is as follows: About l
o'clock on the morning o. October l, 1882,
Boggess attacked his wife while
in bed. she called a daughter, who
assisted her mother to get loose from her
father. They then fled the house and he
grabbed large iron poker and followed
them. 0yertaking bis wife he hit her two
blows, the second one OH the back OF the
head, which proved fatal. 1t seems the
daughter killed, who was thirteen years
old, came up to help her mother, and with
one blow he killed her also. The other
children fled, and when Mr.. Nay arrived
he found mother and daughter lying to-
gether on the road near their home entire
iy dead. He found Boggess in the house
in state OF intoxication. He denied the
killing, or knowing anything about it or
being intoxicated.

theatre was close, and the two men re.
moved their overcoats and for the first time

Not thinking that detectives were watching
his every movement, Matthews friend,
during the evening, placed his right hand
on the back OF his neck to arrange his col
lar. As he did so he exhibited his fur
rowed fingers and India ink stained hand
to the detectives. That movement con-
yinced the detectives Of the identity OF the
