A sTOLID LOT OF PERJURERS

The Chinese Gang Who Slew Lou
 Johnson.
 ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The coroners jury to- day rendered verdict in the case of the Chinese murder which duplicates Chyo Pock, Hook Piack, Chio-Chuck and Cong Seng as principals and Chic Cog, Yeo Seng and Pock Sig accessories. The latter three are the men who perfected the plot and hired the first named four to carry it out. All the implicated parties are under arrest. They all belong to the famous Hong Kong so- ciety rand claim that they have no show, as Batiste, the interpreter from New York, is a Cantonese, therefore enemy. They claim he is not rendering their answers to interrogatories properly, and therefore their side of the case is weak. Some of. the best legal talent of the city has been retained for their defense. A special session of the grand jury will be held next Monday and Batiste will be called upon for the evidence which he has collected. But for his knowledge of the Chinese character it is doubtful if much prompt work would have been possible, the heathens being as stolid and calm lot of perjurers as were ever seen in this city

MURDERE ERS HUNG TOGETHER. A Double Execution in the Parish
 Prison at New Orleans.


 NEW ORLEANS, June 5.-The parish prison was the scene of double hanging to-day, the victims being Robert Williams, coal black negro, and Foster Chase, a bright mulatto aged twenty-four. The last legislature linn ited the number of witnesses to 8 hanging to fifteen and consequently no one was present but the necessary officials: newspaper repor- ters and those the sheriff had summoned on a coroner's jury. Outside the prison, how ever, large crowd assembled brought out by that unaccountable curiosity which pre- vails among the lower classes. The execu- tion took place in the open court of the pris- on. The trap was about fifteen feet from the ground The crimes for which the pair were executed were as follows: On April 27, 1882, Charles Diaz was walking on Rampant street with colored woman with whom Williams was in love. This excited his jealousy and approaching Diaz from behind he plunged g large knife into his body twelve times. Death was instantaneous. Bob made his escape and remained at large two years, when he was captured in St. Louis. He was brought back, tried and convicted. Bob was dan gerous man and gave the officers of the pris- on great deal of trouble. After his convic- tion he expressed himself as not believing in God and attempted to induce the other condemned men to abandon their habit of attending church. Toward the. last, how ever, Bob experienced change of heart, be- came very religious and announced hat he had made his peace with God.
 Foster Chase ,alias SonnyChase's crime was on account of woman. He formed at
 tachment for his sister-in law, Louise Prevot,
 an attractive, bright mulatto. The girls
 mother did not take kindly to him, however,
 and one evening ordered him to leave the house. Chase withdrew muttering threats, to which the woman paid no attention. On Sunday, April 6, 1884, Chase met the girl and her mother on the street and shot his sweetheart through the head, inficting a wound from which she died next
 day. As the girl fell tt @ back of his head and pulled the trigger The bullet was turned by the skull, however, and he soon recovered. After short trial Chase was convicted and sentenced. He be- came very religious and was continually praying and burning candles.
 Last night Chase and Williams attended divine services in prison under the auspices of the Catholic society and both prayed earnestly. Chase retired to his cell at midnight, but Williams remained all night chatting and joking with his friends. He believed firmly that the l. Governor would commute his sentence and ! said he would not despair until he heard the trap falling. The men attended mass at 6 o'clock this morning and Bob was baptized The men refused break | fast and retired to their cells. | At about noon the men confessed and were shrived. At 1:05 the march to the scaffold began. The death warrant was read to the l condemned who ureserye,l their composure | to the last. Chase showed a little nervous | ness, but Williams was perfectly unmoved- l The trap fell at :49 and in a few minutes | the men were pronounced dead

MURDER FOR A TRIPLE.

A Teamster Refuses to Turn ont And
 Is Stabbed Through the Heart-The
 Murderer Then Shoots Himself.
 EVANSVILLE, Ind, June 5.-A quarrel over trivial matter led to terrible tragedy at Gugdel's station, near Somerville, on the straight line railroad, about Il o'clock this morning. James Minnis, a resident of that locality, was stabbed and instantly killed by John Butcher, a neighbor Both were deal CTS in railroad ties and at the time of the quarrel Minnis was nearing the station with a wagon load of ties. The latter had met several empty wagons, the drivers of which had turned aside for him. Butch CT, however, refused to do so, and after 8 sharp exchange of words both men alighted and Minnis was immediately stabbed through the heart, dying almost instantly. The murder created great excitement and Butcher, who had fled immediately after the stabbing, was pursued by large number of persons who announced their determination to take him at whatever cost and turn him over to justice. Being over taken Butcher sought refuge behind 8 clump of bushes and opened fire upon his pursuers. Fortunately none of the shots took effect. Having emptied his two revolvers with the exception of one chamber he placed the weapon to his head and blew out his brains. 
 QUARREL ABOUT THE PIGS
 Leads a Husband to Kill His Wife.
 EDwARDsPoRT, Ind, June 5.-About p. m. to-day Fred G1otegut, farmer living one mile from Rubel's school house, cut his wife's throat and then made attempt to kill himself The murder was not discov- cred until after dark, when 8 neighbor came along and saw Grotegut lying as though dead behind the house. He summoned help and returned but Grotegut had disappeared. Upon entering the house terrible sight was presented. Mrs. Grotegut was lying on the floor In pool of blood. It was supposed that tramps had done the bloody deed, but presently the husband was found bleeding but conscious. He confessed that he had done the work. He said he and his wife had quarrel about the pigs and that he started toward her and that in going out of the door she fell and struck her head against stone, almost killing her. He had a razor in his hand and bent down to assist her to rise She seized his hand and drew the razor across her throat She then told him to kill himself, which he tried to do but failed. He says he kept trying all the afternoon, us- ing the razor at times and again by hanging. When he caught sight of his daughter he made an intellectual attempt to catch her, but fell exhausted. Grotegnt's injuries are thought to be fatal.
