guilty, and sentenced 10 be hanged OH
May 20 Yesterday a petition was for
warded to David Mills. the minister Of
justice. asking that the sentence be not
carried out, but that Nulty be confined
in an asylum. The argument used is
that it would not be right 10 hang the
youth, as he has no moral sense.
The murdered girls were IS. 16 and IL
years old. and the brother 9. The muF-
derer is scarcely 20.
Tom Nulty and Angelina were to
have been married last summer. but
the mans parents objected on the
ground that there was no room for
bride and groom and prospective chill
dren in the one room which formed
the Nulty residence so Tom conceived
the idea of making room for his bride
by means of an ak and the slaughter Of
his sisters and little brother. The idea
was put into effect without delay, and
the details of the homicides show that
the slaughter was one of the most bru-
tai on record.

on the easiest possible terms, attend:
j. G. O'Neill will on the 9th of
March give an excursion to Washing

land there, so that each one may ac-

he invests a cent, and that the state
ments of Mr.. O'Neil as to the fertility
of the soil and the salubrity of the
climate is true in every particular.
This excursion is under the auspices
of no railroad company, but is Mr..
O'Neill's answer to those pessimists
and cranks, who either from ignor-
ance of the country whereof they
speak, or wilful perversion of the
truth for their own selfish or malic-
ions ends, have cast doubts on his
statements.
