morning. Vaughan took the verdict
as a matter OF course, and did not
manifest any surprise OF excite
ment
Judge Cheney set 100 p. in. rs the
time for passing sentence and
Vaughan was taken to his cell in the
county Jail. When Sheriff Caughlin
went to the cell to take Vaughan to
the courtroom for sentence, he found
him suffering from ii dose OF poison.
Judge Cheney on learning of
Vaughan's condition postponed the
time OF passing sentence until 10
o'clock this morning. At $50 last
night Vaughan died from the effects
Of the poison.
The murder OF the Littster boys,
for which Vaughan was thrice con
yicted and twice sentenced to be hung,
was one Of the most cold. blooded and
brutal crimes ever committed in this
State. He deliberately shot down
two innocen: boys without any provo
cation and richly deserved to die on
the gallows.

Mgr BartolomeOs was formerly arch.

and when he was locum tencns and was
received in audience by the sultan he
made an address Of the most servilo do
