SHERMAN, May Special. Judge
Hare is considerably exercised over the
language reputed to him in reference tc
the reelection of Senator Maxey, in
which no is reported as having said
"that there were not thieves enough in
Texas TO steal tho senatorship from
Maxey." The judge emphatically, de-
MES having made use OF any such ex-
precision, or in fact used any words that
could have been construed into such
meaning. The Weekly HERALD, OF
MAY ii, is the first intimation that The
Judge had that such language was re-
puted to him. Judge Hare is q
warm supporter of NJ key, but that fact
would not lead him into characterizing
the non.suppOrters aui opponents OF the

of another TO fill MaXey seat as theft.

lect language he makes uso Of to convey

steD-iather, the Italian, Cachille.Orotrl,
who ia accused OF killing her, was pres
ont as prisoner and seemed 10 be over.
whelmed by tho predicament in which
his brutal nature had placed him.
Abundant testimony was adduco d To
prove sll that has already been said OF the
horrible story. The body ofthe child,
VINO was only 8 years old, was
covered with cuts and bruises. Tho
corouer's physician testified that her
veins were alomost empty, aud
been starved and beaten to
death. u was shown that on Monday
last Orofri logged little Lnltie nearly all
day, using u thick rope, a heavy strap
and q shovel, the handle OF the shovel
being broken on her head or body. Her
step-favher also TIED her hands and foot
and compelled her to kneoi down for
hours At nights she crswled up stairs
10 bed, and because she complained
Of her back, OrOfrl beat her again
wi n the shovel IL was SHOWN that at
ter lying quiet a while, tho dying child
again began to moan, when her step
laJEer, IN q great rage, fell on her and
smothered her head under pillow and
sat on it. When released the young vic
tim, ms her little sister Mabel said, "lay
very quieC.p Orofri then struck her
twice with his fist, aud as she did not
stir struck ber again with the shovel.
Then, beeoGiug alarmed ct the lncreas-
ing pallor on her lace, the
step-tather went for q doctor.
When the physician arrived the child
was in Orolri's arms, dead. The case
was continued in order that the testi-
mony OF the o.her children may be
taken,
