The deceased was found on the road to Oxen Hill, just within the District lm- its, unconscious and suffering from some terrible cuts about her head. Three stones covered with Diood, and which had evidently been used in in- Hicting the wounds, were found beside her. She Was removed to the Washington Asylum, and died thereon the 20th, having remained Insensible until death. Meanwhile, on the 18th, Shaw was arrested on D. street, between 9th and 10th, on sus- picion of having stolen some ciothing he was try- Ing to sell. The clothing was {dentified by Geo. W. Carter, the husband of the deceased, as having been stolen from nis place. Upon the death of the injured woman, Carter discovere1 that it was his e, and then the circumstances witich led to THE APPREHENSION OF SHAW, as the murderer, gradually became known. Shaw, it appeared, came to his sister’s home on the day of the murder, and induced her to accompany him by stating that ther grandmother, who lived on the Oxen Hill road, was dying, and wanted-to see her. When Shaw returned to the city he told Carter that he had left his sister at the grand- mother’s house, and nothing to-the contrary was suspected until the woman, found in the road, died at the hospital. Shaw was thereupon held by the coroner for the murder, and on the third of March following was indicted. The trial took place before Judge Wyle, beginning March 28th, and occupied two days, Shaw being convicted on the 20th. Messrs. Howard C, Clagett and. (A. Lip:comb, who were assigned by the court t® de- fend thé prisoner, made a strong — effort save him, ‘but the circumstantial evidence against him was overwhelming. In addition to that, testimony was introduced showing various confilcting statements made by Shaw. He had at first denied going Into the county with his sister. Afterwards he sald two men knocked down and robbed his sister, an’ one of them gave him a dollar to say nothing about it. ‘Then the grandfather testifled that the boy wad not been at his house for two weeks prior to the murder. A motton for a new trial, wade April 34, was overruled May 5th, on which day Shaw was sentenced to be hanged Friday, January 19th, 1883, between the hours of 12m. ani 2 p.m. Bills of exception were filed September 13th. and the case was argued in general term, in November. The Chiet Justice, in announcing’ the opinion of the court, affirming the judgment below, re= marked that the prisoner was eltuer A FOOL OR A BRUTE; ¥* the former, the proper officer to appeal to was the executive; if the latter, the sooner he was out of the way the better. Aé stated, the evidence against Shaw ‘was elrcumstantial. He persisted tn protesting his innocence until November 26 last, when he made a confession to Mr. Clagett anda Sar reporter. His story was to the effect that on the road his sister expressed doubt of his tale that his grandmother was sick and became angry. After some words he picked up a stone and coming up Dehind her struck her In the back of the head, felled her and left her tn the road. THE CONDEMNED 1s very dark and small in stature,measuring about five fect five inches and weighing about 1% pounds. His grandfather and father were slaves. He was born at Oxen Hill, Md., just outside of the District line. and has spent his life in and about the District. He says he 1s but 17 years of age, but it is thought that he 1s older, and he is re- corded in the jail books as 19 years of age. He Was set to school when little, but was wayward and not a very good scholar, going to school when he wanted to and stopping’ when he chose. He appears to have spent much time among the gamins of the city. and, like Topsy, “ just grow: up.” When composed his manner f: mild; but his temper is excitable, and his fits of passion are fol- lowed by periods of moodiness. THR SCAFFOLD on which Shaw isto be hanged {s @ permanent Piece of jail furniture, having been built in 1879 and served at every execution here since that time, Including that of Charles J. Guiteau. It ts located in the north end of the northeast court of the jail.

The knot 4s tled and greased, ready for the work. The Law Will Take [ts Course. REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The Attorney General this morning submitted a Teport tothe Presient, in which he holds that Shaw, the condemned murderer, is of sound mind and responsible for his act, and that the case is not one which calls for executive clemency. The President has decided not to interfere in the matter, the law wilftake its course, and Shaw will therefore be hung to-morrow. a ‘The Remai of Charles Guiteau. FORMAL TRANSFER OF THE BODY BY REV. DR. HICKS TO THE SURGEON GENERAL OF THE U. 8. ARMY. Rev. Dr. Hicks, of the Tabernacle church, who was the spiritual adviser of Guiteau, has executed @ paper transferring all his right and title to the body of Guiteau to Surgeon General C. H. Crane, U. 8. A.,and, asfar as he ts concerned, the right and title of the body 1s now vested in the United States. The instrument was executed before a Justice of the peice. It recites the clause of Gul- teau’s will bequeathing the body to Dr. Hicks to make whatever disposition of the body he deemed proper. ‘THE PAPERS NOT YET SIGNED. A Sram reporter called upon Surgeon General Crane this morning for the purpose of learning what disposition the government will make of the remains of Gulteau. General Crane sald that at resent he was unable to give any information, as was himself not well enouzh informed upon the matter to speak; that<o much “ nasty stuff” had been sald ard published in regard to the subject that he thouzht it advisable to wait until the whole matter was settled before talking. The re= mains of Guiteau are not yet the property of the government, as the papers have not been signed on the part of the governm=nt. In a very few days, however, the public will learn what will be the final disposition of all that remains of that famous assassin. MR. SCOVILLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE GUITEAU’S BONES DECENTLY BURIED. Among the spectators at the star route trial this morning was Mr. Gcorge Scoville, erstwhile coun- sel for Guiteau. He told a Sra reporter that he arrived here last night; that he bas business in New York, and came here to rest a day or two. “I suppose the Guiteau business is settled?” sald Tue Stak reporter. “Well, I don’t know whether the will has been 1’ said Mr. Scoville. siness here in connection with the will?” asked the reporter. “No,” said Mr. Scovill that whatever.

In fact, nothing now remains of it at the Museum except the bones and the flesh of the head.
