Two Men soon TO be Pat on Trial for II
Murder OF Three Pefsons. 81

Two Men Soon To be Put ON Trial for the
9turter OF Three PeFsons.
CoRx, July 2T.-oae Of the most sensa-
! tional murder trials Of recent times will be
commenced at the asslzes here Tuesday,
when William sheehan and David Browne,
| his brother.in-law, will be tried for the
murder Of sheehan's own mother, brother
and slater, at Castletown Roche, not far
from here, seven years ago. The bodies
were discovered at the bottom of q well.
A few months since Sheehan was followed
TO New Zealand, and brought here in
irons. Within the mast few days start.
ling sensational confession has been made
by an old man named Duane, after having
always denied any knowledge OF the
crime. At the time ofthe atfocious mur-
ders he was employed as a servant on the
farm belonging to the murderer's mother.
Greed for the sole possession OF the farm
seems 70 have been the cause Of the mur-
ders by her son. IN
Duane states that the prisoners COM
mitted the murder with an implement
called gritfaun, which Is used fot break
ing lumpy mold after plowing, and closely
resembles cooper's ada. On the evening
ot the murders Tom Sheehan induced his
brother toenter the stable. He was fol-
lowed by the prisoners, when William
Sheehan struck him two terrific blows on
the head, which killed him. The muir
derers then locked the stable door, en-
tered the dwelling house, and completed
the work Of slaughter OF poor mother
and helpless sister. Hannah was seated
in happy domestfcity in small parlor off
the kitchen. William struck his mother
with thegridaun. He then threw it away
and caught her by the throat, around
which his arms in infancy had often clung,
and choked her. Browne then took up
the grdaun aud struck his old playmate,
Hannah, and knocked her down, also
completing the terrible deed by ,seizing
her by the throat. Both victims were dead
IN less than q minute. Duane was para
lyzed with fear, and dared not then inform
on the murdeEers, who asked him to aid
them in removing the bodies 10 the stable.
About s O'Clock the same evening,
Duane, at Sheehan's request, harnessed
horse to g cart, in which the three bodies
were placed by the murderers and him.
self, which were conveyed 10 q distant
field and thrown into an old abandoned
well. During the removal of the bodies
the men were secretly watched by Duane's
son, who had also always denied any
knowledge Of the murder until recently,
when he, too, made confession while
undergoing penal servitude in the Cork
prison. Both father and son say they
kept quiet lest they should be charged as
guilty OF completely. The most revolving
part OF this terrible crime Is that while
the men were removing the bodies, the
two sisters of Browne, one Of whom shee-
han afterwards married, were in the ad-
joining dwelling house dancing TO the
music Of concertina. When the bodies
were disposed Of, and the horse retained
to the stable aud the side Of the cart
washed, the murderers went into the
house and joined the festivities.

From the Mountain Top to saratoEa-
Arrangement of the Train.
MT. Meg GRgeoR, N. Y, July 27.-Maaa,
ger D. a. Ford, Of the Mountain railroad,
has today determined upon the arrange.
ment OF the train that will convey the
remains and family of General Grant
from here to Saratoga. The body will be
placed on what is known as the observa.
non car. This Is car thirty five feet
long, with standard posts at the corucIs
and sides, which support a'rpot over all.
The car is enclosed on all des TO a height
Of three feet from the floor, with seats
running lepgthwise cf the car on
each side. These seats will be removed.
The rear Of the car will be entirely open
and part Of the car will be draped in
mourning. The remains will be placed
upon the funeral car from the rear and
viii rest in the middle OF the car and upon
the car there will be twenty-six men at
tending the remains. Thirteen OF them
will comprise the guard OF honor from the
u. s. Grant Post and the other thirteen
will be selected from the regulars who are
expected here from Fort Porter by ordel
of General Hancock.
Tie car bearing the remains will be at
tached directly 10 the engine, and behind
the remains will follow tie ordinary pas
enger coach OF the road, in which the fam,
lily will be accommodated. This latter
bears the name g Eastern Outlook, which
Is the point OF observation to which Geu-
eral Grant was last wheeled in his
chair the Monday before he died
Il Is the came car in which
the dead General ascended the
mountain Just seven weeks before the
hour on which his remains will arrive al
Saratoga, Tuesday, August !. II other
cars are attached TO the funeral train they
will be for the convenience OF those most
nearly connected in the conduct OF the
obsequtes.
The train will consume one hour in run
ming down TO Saratoga from the mountain
top, being 20 minutes more than the usual
schedule.
The transfer OF the remains will bemade
at the Saratoga terminus Of the Mountain
road, this being necessary because the
mountain funeral cm Is mounted upor
narrow.gauge trucks, while the connect
ing roads are ot the usual broad gauge.
