CHEsTERTowN. Md. Jan. 13.-Four OF the
negro murderers Of DR.. J. II. Hill were hanged
to-day at half past IL o'clock. The other four.
all boys under seventeen years OF age. will
spend their lives in the penitentiary. So in
censed were the citizens Of Kent county at the
Governor for committing the sentences OF
these boys thut. had not tho snow storm made
the roads impossible. the citizens would proba-
bly, have carried out their threats OF burning
the Jail and lynching tho four men before the
time set for the legal execution. Early this
morning Samuel +. Hill. tho father. and Wal.
ter s. Hill OF New York. the brother OF the
murdered man. arrived at the jail and en-
denvored to persuade the condemned mon to
confess. but they did not succeed. Tho colored
preachers also appealed to hem not to 20 to
the eallows without admitting their guilt. but
all stolidly maintained innocence. and dictated
letters to reporters charging q white mar
with the murder.
Throughout last night the men spent the
time in singing and praying. Outside q
drunken mob kept the town awake with
hideous noises. Several citizens had been
sworn In rs deputies to protect the prisoners
in case OF attempted lynching. but instead OF
preserving order they assisted In the drinking
and shouting. At midnight itlooked as though
there would surely be q riot. The crowd
swarmed on top OF the fence adjoining the jail

treas skirting the sidewalk.
