The jury came to a decision within five minutes after the hearing, and rendered true bill for murder in the first degree. Judge Bill has been assigned counsel for Hunter by Judge Elmer, and will ask postponem ent until the June term of court, which it is thought will be granted.

Round Hill Sanitariuni.

mHIS Institution, now open for the re-
 ception of patients, is situated on Round Hill, in the building formerly occupied by the Keeley Institute, in the "City of Homes."
 A more beautiful city than Springfield does not exist in New England, certainly, and, we believe, would be hard to find were a much greater area included; and when we say that Round Hill is the most delightful spot in this beautiful city, we but voice the sentiment of all who have visited the place.
 The house was built for the residence of one of our wealthy citizens, and is a model of beauty and convenience. It contains sixteen large, airy, sunny rooms, which have been furnished in accordance with their special uses.
 The grounds, covering five aud One-half acres, are we'll wooded with Oaks Chest nuts, Beeches and Pines, affording excel lent shade during the summer months, and protection from the icy blasts of win ter.
 These trees are inhabited, we might al most say infested, with gray squirrels, and many an hour which might otherwise pass wearily to the invalid, may be pleas antly beguiled in watching the antics of these little fellows.
 The aim of the management is to make this institution as unlike hospital, aud as nearly like the patients own home as is consistent with ploper care and treat ment, thus keeping the patient in con- tented frame of mind, which is half the battle in the struggle for life and health. Private rooms, or beds in wards, are fur nished at reasonable rates, which will be sent to any address on application.
 The number of patients being limited insures the best of care in nursing and medical attendance.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.-Scott
Jackson, student at a dental col
lege at Cincinnati, was arrested last
night on kilograms from Greencastle,
Ind, charging him with the muir
der of the woman who was mutilated
and beheaded near Fort Scott, KY,
several days ago. This woman has
been identified as Pearle Bryant, daugh-
ter of A. s. Bryant, we'll known farm
err, living near Greencastle. Jackson
says his friend, William F. Wood, had
come to him and informed him that
Pearle Bryant, whom they both knew,
was in delicate condition. Wood ask
ed Jackson to perform an operation,
which he declined to do. He, however,
secured the services of Alonzo Walling,
his present roommate. The girl went
to Cincinnati and was put in charge of
Walling, with whom she was left.
Jackson asserts that he knows nothing
of his personal knowledge of Walling's
or Woods actions in the matter after
that. He declares his belief that Wall
ing murdered the girl. Wood has been
captured at South Bend, Ind.

as to where they came from. The girl
answers the description and practically
admits being Frances Thornton, of 92G

to be about fifteen; very unassuming,
quiet good looking, and rather intelli'
gent. She is plump, and looks as
though her hair was recently cut. She
has scar on the right side of her neck
The man is very light mulatto
