The young medical student does not act
like a guilty man, and il hs did commit
the murders ho certainly is Il man of re-
marknble norve Last night ho slept well,

meanor is taat of u man ontident of PROV

fioes.
On Tuesday morning Governor Moseley

deputies throughout the nation to report
to him ut once with arms, When the
officers gathered around the house 200 on
ragged mon, headed by McGill and tho
Brown brothers, rushed from adjoining
houses, and a deadly riot followed. The
names Of the dead and wounded could not
be ascertalned by the couriors, owing to
the great excitement which prevailed
Governor Moselcy and his official retinue
escaped by rushing to houses on the ont
