FOR HIS LIFE.
Daniel CahiII Charged with the Murd or
of His Aunt.

Daniel CahiI1 Charged with the Murd or
of His Aunt.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Dec. 20.-The
trial OF Daniel Cahill for the murder Of
Ann Larkin, at Hatfield, last June, be-
gan yesterday before Judges Maynard,
Mason and Hopkins.
About pm, June 10, neighbors heard
the screams of a woman at the Cahill
house and soon after the report OF pis-
tol. Mrs. Larkin, Cahill's aunt,
was found nearly dead on the sitting
room floor. Cahill disappeared, but gave
himself up at the Jail next day.
The farm belonged to deceased, and the
will was made in favor OF the accused
with bond for her support. Cahilps
wife says the old lady reached for the
pistol on high shelf, fell off her chair
and accidentally shot herself.
Eighty jurors were called before the re-
uuired IL were secured. The state finished
its case in the afternoon, having no di-
rect evidence that a
Murder Had Been Committed.
Two women riding by the Cahill house
saw man and woman quarrelling at the
back door about the time the neighbors
heard the pistol shot. The man had mop
in his hand ana the woman was trying to
prevent the man from striking someone in
side. The woman was screaming very
loudly.
Two relatives said that Cahill was at
their house, six miles away, in the morn
ing. He had pistol under his coat in
the wagon and d-ank whiskey at dinner.
Another neighbor heard pistol shot and
saw Cahill walking away from the house
soon after.
One witness had heard Cahill say he
never would pay any debts OF Mrs. Lar
kin's as long as she lived, as you never
could tell what old people would do. He
also said he knew she had money in the
house and where she kept it.
1t is reported that the prisoner will set
up plea of accidental shooting.
