The later accounts of the murder at
Rindge differ somewhat from that given in
The Phoenix last week, which was made
up from the first dispatches to the daily

Solely, who had been at work at Fitzwil-
liam, went to East Jaffrey on Wednesday
of last week and bought alcohol of the
town agent. The agent, knowing that the
men We're addicted to drink, mixed saltpe-
tire with the alcohol. but this did not pre-
vent them from downing the mixture.
About > o'clock in the afternoon the men
appeared at Rindge hotel and demanded
that liquor Toe furnished them, which was
refused. After using threatening Ian
guage Burnell suddenly attacked Fred
Croker, who worked at the hotel. In the
struggle which followed Croker downed
his aSsailant, but McSoley came to Bur
nelfs assistance and jumped upon Crock
er. Burnell then Embossed heavy Whit
tietree from the team. with which he
pounded Croker over the head, iniuring
him seriously. 4 Mr.. Morclock went to
the assistance of Croker, when he also
was struck over the head by Burnell. Mr.
Wheeler, aged 5S, the proprietor of the no.
tel, a man who was nearly blind, then
thought to pacify Burnell, but the latter
struck him over the head with the whitile-
tree, causing instant death. Bunell then
attempted to finish Crocker, but several
men came running up, causing both Bur
nell and McSoley to flee. McSoley was
captured at East Rindge in the evening and
