war are as high and unSelhsh as those which
animated themselves IN the Spanish American
struggle. They fought then for justice and
liberty, not for their own subjects indeed, but
for those whom they believed to be the victims
Of oppression and did not enter into quizzi-

MURDERER EIGHT YEARS OLD.
NEGRO BOY IN VIRGINIA KILLED NEGRO
GIRL AGED THREE BECAUSE HE WAS
MAD AT HER MOTHER"

Richmond, Va, June 10 (SpeciaD.-News comes
from Grayson County that Arthur Wadden, q
negro boy eight years old, entced Bette Hampton,
little negro girl three years old to the woods
killed her with rock and hid her body under the
top Of a tree. Waddel has been put IN Jail at In
dependence and ordered before the Grand Jury. He
will probably be sent TO the reformatory, being
too young to go to the penitentiary. Arthur, who
is probably the youngest prisoner ever arrested in
Virginia for murder had been bound out to Cap
tain S. NJ. Fulton for four years having previously
been in the county poorhouse.
He and the negro girl went toward the woods
together. When he returned he said the girl had
wandered away from him and been lost Search
was made for her, but in vain. Finally the boy
confessed the murder to Captain Fulton. and told
where he had concealed the body. He took the
searching party the top of tree, in a sink hole
in the woods, and told them that he had hid her
under the limbs and brush. They removed the
limbs and debris, and there was the body Of the
girl Her forehead had been beaten and mutilated
with blunt instrument which the negro boy says
was a rock. When asked what she was doing to
him. he said Nothing" bit that he mad at
her mother" The boy is incorrigble, and has
given many evidences Of criminal disposition. He
does not appear to realize the enormity of his
crime. fTOsIOm O..
