A Rem arkable Criminal Gaze.

PrTTsF1ELD, Mass, July s9.-One of the
| most remarkable criminal cases ever tried
here is nearing its end in the Superior court,
Judge Rockwell presiding. 1t is the trial of
Michael O'ConneIl for burning the barn of
Mrs Henry Leavits, of New York, at her
summer seat in Great Darlington. The barn
was built by Henry Leavitt's great grand
father and was the wonder of this part of the
State on account of its size and cost 1t was
built at an expense of upwards of 100000
and included under its roof tenements for
the farmhands and saw and grist mills for
using up the surrounding woods and grind
ing up the grain produced. It had every
possible mechanical appliance for barn work
and in some parts was finished in costly
woods. Furnished metals and polished cab
met work were used in the harness and car
riage rooms. After the fire O'Conneu re-
moved to Brooklyn and was followed by De-
tectives Price and Rogers and confession
was secured from him by the detectives,
who negotiated with him to perform certain
criminal jobs and demanded before closing
