and the knees drawn up as close as posi-
Bile. The polic, were Immediately notified
and an investigation made At trst the
body was supposed to he that OF Maxwell,
but further investigation proved it to be
that OF Maxweli's companion, who had
lately Joined him and was registered as
sc. Arthur Pre- Ter, London, England"
The body and trunk, just rs they were first
discovered, were transferred to The morgue.
A more repulsIve sight had never been seen
in the morgue
The corpse WIS almost nude. Not a feat
ure OF the countenancc was recognizable,
being so discnIoreI and distorted. Just
beside the head was pasted Il piece OF white
paper, with The inscription, $50 perish all
traitors to the great cause" Clothes and
other possessions, including an empty
chlorOfOrm bottle which was identified by
FernOw, the druggist. as having been
bought by Maxwell, pointed to Maxwell as
the man who had committed the crime.
The day after tt.c discovery Of the CRIME it
was well established that Maxwell had
left on the morning Of April q for San
Francisco, after carefully circulating the
information that lie was going East by the
Vandalia. A number Of passengers on the
Western train positively identified the man
on the west bound train as Maxwell. A
telegram WAS Iu:med. ateiy sent to San
Francisco to The chief OF police putting him
on his guard, and a diligent search for the
fugitive Wa, made. T,is developed
the fact that the man had taken
passage in the City OF Sidney, which
left for New Zealand on Sunday, the
18th of August. ExtraditiOn papers were
secured from Secretary of State Bayard
on the presentation Of the most complete
criminal document ever drawn up In st.
Louis. and Consul Gamble, at Auckland,
New Zealand, was cabled to secure Max
wells arrest ON his arrival at that place.
Local officers went out on q tender to the
steamer Sidney, attended by the Consul,
and aroused Maxwell from u deep sleep to
place him under arrest. Even on awaken-
ing he preserved the assumed French ac-
cent which he had adopted on the train
from St. Louis. With the money taken
from Preller he obtained counsel to resist
extradition, but was finally turned over to
the detectives. On the 18th Of August he
arrived in st. Louis. His trial was begun
on the 10Th of the following May, and a
verdict Of guilty rendered on the 5.h Of
June, 1856. An appeal was taken to the
State Supreme Court, where tho case was
affirmed, though the employment Of De-
tective Dingfelder to obtain "a confession
was severely censured. The case was then
taken to the United States Supreme Court.
where q decision was gwen yesterday.

The decision was announced by CHEF
J9sticc Waite ana its effect is to affirm the
sentence OF death pronounced by the State
onlrt.

under the Constitution, or any treaty, or
statute of the United States it must ap-
par on the record that such right, title,
privilege or immunity was specially set up
OF claimed at the proper time in the proper
way. To be removable here, the decision
must be against the right 80 SGT up or
claimed. A. the Supreme Cour Of the
State WAS reviewing the decision Of tho
tlal court, it must appear that the claim
wbs made in that court, becsua the Su-
Hcme Court is only .cutheYi1ed t. review

@p We can do no more Applying that
r3le to this case, we and tina al the
TRIAL, no title, rght, privilege ~ immunity
was specially Set up or claimed under the
Constitution, law or treaties Of the United
Aates. Thus, for example, when the testi-
monv Of Dingfcldcr was offered, the ad-
mission Of which is now assigned for error,
the objection was net that its admission
would he a violation c! ary provision Of the
Constitution or llws # the United States,

Ynt,' coming, as 1t did from a man who by
his conduct in forcing the statements from

hp should testify, had shown himself to be
'oQwOrthy OF belief IN a court of JUSTICE
aed because the witness has shown that
held cut an inducement, a promise to
TIC defendant for his statement, which
r0ndegs it incompetent The assignments

twenty, left Pikeville for Tug river. After
crossing the river, when nearing the resi-
denee Of Captain Hatfield, they came
across q woman In the road who was
standing picket and who immedi-
ately gave the alarm. The cap
turing party, when turning a point in
the road, were fired upon by q squad Of
eight from the Hatfield gang. Bud Mccoy
was shot through the shoulder and danger
ously wounded. Two of the posse were
detailed to care for him and take him home.
The capturing party Immediately returned
the fire and Will Dempsey, Of the Hatfield
gang, fell to the ground, shot through the
bowels.
At this juncture the Hatfields beat a
hasty retreat, throwing away their blank
cts, overcoats, etc. The posse went up to
where Dempsey was, and although he was
in a dying condition ald begged %piteously
to be saved, the man that killed Jim Vance
on the first rand, put his gun against Demp-
sey's head and fired, Dempsey's head being
almost entirely blown of. AT this one Of
the pursuing party became angry, left the
posse and returned home.
The Hatf;elds were organized for a raid
over on Peter creek, in Kentucky, the
scene of their New Years night deeds, to

strong, have joined the capturing party,
