Boulware, were sworn as wit nesses, and a searching examiuation was had, the evidence being eorrob orative throughout, and, in sub stance, that deceased was sitting iv; his house reading a newspaper when a shot was fired through the window from a musket, the contents of which took effect in the back of the victim's head and neck, who was not killed instantly, but lingered in a paralyzed condition ‘till Friday at 10 o'clock when he died The evidence further showed that tracks in the earth, corresponding to those of Geo Long, eldest son of the deceased, were discovered to lead from the vicinity where the shot was fired to the barn, and in various places about the farm, also to the woods, where 2 musket was found, admitted by George Long, in an in terview with his uncle, John Long, above mentioped, to have been the gun with which the killing was dune. According 49 this witness, the young mav, Geo Long, now imprisoned at Butler, also confessed that he did the shooting, but implicated Wm. Lacourse as accessory,stating that the plot was couceived between them while in Rich Hill several days before the crime was commit ted, at which time the gun was bor rowed from Wm. King. near Corn- land. The autopsy held by Dr. T.C. Boulware, revealed the fact that some of the shot had parsed through the skull, and death was caused from abscesses which had formed on the brain. A large number of the shot were picked out of the wound in making tbe examination, and retained by the coroner as evi dence. ~ At the conclusion of the post-mor- tem examination, the jury retired and in a few minutes returned a ver- dict, that Wm.
