stove. and literally burned off. The
age of the child, for he was nothing
more, was thirteen years. Such an
act is unjustifiable. Nothing can
justify such torture, or mitigate
such an attrocity. For the man
himself, he deserved anything.
The wrecking of train, is an act
that cannot be too severely punish
ed, any and every torture is de-
served by wretch, who, in the
possession of his senses, at the age
of discretion, would commit such
an outrage, but a poor little child,
influenced by his father, is not a
subject for mob Vengeance. The
man ought to have suffered, but to
torture the child, oh, it was pitiful,
and shameful beyond utterance.
The report of the torture of the
child is denied, and tits hoped, for
the..sake of "poor humanity" that
the report is not true.
