Scalping, Cutting Out Tongues and | Slitting Ears. Two Captives Burned at the Stake. ESCAPE OF THREE OTHERS DURING A STORM, St. JOSEPH, Mo., July 25, 1871. ‘The detaiis of a fearfal Indian tragedy, tnat are ‘well verified, having just reached thus point I basten to communicate them to you. They show conclu- sively that our policy towards the ‘sable savage’? of the Indian Territory is not producuve of peace, bat, on the contrary, only aggravates them and Jeads them to the commission of acts of brutality, at the mere mention of which civilization shudders. ‘There has just arrived in this city overland Wil- liam MacMoore, whose appearance and reierences entitle his story to credence. His nariative of his experiences are of THE MOST HARROWING KIND, He states that some weeks ago he left Elizabeth- town, Kentucky, in the service of a government contractor named J. C.D, Blackburn, under agree- Ment to drive a team of government supphes to Fort Sill, Indian Territory. Blackburn’s train, com sisting of fourteen wagons, with fourteen drivers, bat no escort, jeft South Paw Vailey about the middle of June for Fort Sill and proceeded without any inter- ruption until Sunday evening, the 25th of June, when they came to a small stream, skirted by woods on either side, about thirty miles east of the fort, Here they expertencea some difficulty in crossing. After some of the teams had reached the west side the drivers dismounted and returned to the east side 10 assist MacMoore and Another teamster in getting their wagons out of the mud, Not suspecting any enemy near they had not taken the precaution to retain their arms, and while laboring to extract the teams from the mire they were suddenly startled by the savage war-whoop, and in a moment were SURROUNDED BY 250 CHEYENNE INDIANS, who poured out of the Umber and made a sudden attack upon them, Huddied together as they were about the wagon they were weil situated to receive the fire of the savages, and al the first volley, fired at a distance of fifty yards, A NUMBER WEKE KILLED AND WOUNDED. The few who retained their smali arms, seeing the scalping knives and tomanawks glistening in NEW "YORK WERALD, SA’ pnt two ebirts and @ pair of drawers and being very Toot-sore, Brown safely reached the fort four days after, and Jackson Came in the following day. All the captives were very much exhausted, and would probaply have perished were it not for the hospt, tality of some friendly Potawatomie Indians, who fed them on Tnesday and directed them to the fort, where they were carefully nursed by the garrison. Jackson remained at the fort, being unable to travel. Brown started for Denver. MacMoore lett on foot for Leavenworth on the 12th, and, reaching that point on Saturday last, at once proceeded to this place by rail, which he reached yestergay. Here he is stopping with the wife of ©. H. Buchanan, who is 4 relative of nis, WHITE RUFFIANS IN THE BAND. MacMoore declares that nearly one-fourth of the fiends who-attacked the train were white men, and many Of the savages spoke Engitsn. Among them he recognized one Stanley, an East Texas desperado, who boasted that he nad killed thirteen men and intended to kill as many more. The whites were dressed in Indian costume, and were fully as bar- barous in the enjoyment of the torture of Jones and Hayward, ‘WHITE FEMALE CAPTIVES. ‘The eyennes had two female captives with them—Mrs, Bowman, of Guadalupe Mountain, Texas, and @ Miss Emma Bailey. He describes the latter as a very beautiful girl, THE COURTS. URITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COURT. Charge of Selling Unstamped Cigars, Before Commissioner Shields.

Another was badly wounded and fell powerless for defence, The Indians then closed in upon the men and captured the remaining seven. The wounded teamster was so badly wounded that he couid not live, and the fends at once proceeded to SCALP AND TOMAHAWK HIM, The captives, six in number, were immediately securely bound and removed under 3 guard of a por- Lion of the savages, while the main body took charge of the train. Morse is consequently unable to say What disposition was made of the train, but it is believed that after securing the booty the mules were run off and the wagons burned. Laterin the day the savages took up the line of march in a northerly direction, and, after proceeding about ten miles, halted for the night and went into camp. The next morning the march was resumed in a northeasterly direction. About ten o’clock in whe morning one of the captives, whose name 18 MacMoore, was forgotten, Seeing a chance fur escape, he made A RUN FOR LIFE; Dut a bullet directed by the unerring aim of one of his guard brought him down, mortally wounded. The fiends stopped long enough to take his scalp ud pitched the boay into a hole, and then resumed | ‘we march, On the following Friday the brutes held a council aud decided to tortare two of the captives, Select ing Jack Jones and Thomas Hayward, about five | o'clock in the evening they proceeded to gratify their Jove for vengeance and fiendish cruelty. Jones and Hayward were brought out, securely bound hand and foot to a stake, one oa either side, and the faggots collected beneath them. Before firing the faggots, MacMoore declares, In the presence of the over captives, the monsters deuberately un- sheathed their knives and CUT THEIR TONGUES OUT, it 1 supposed to prevent: them from making tne night hideous with thelr screams ofagony. They a@iso cut the ears off Joues and Hayward, and one of them deposited them in his pouch as tropnies of war. The faggots, a foot or so high, were so arranged as to burn slowly. The entire band then Jormed in @ circle and indulged in the most inhu- sDap torture of the victims, such as STRIKING THEIR BODIES WITH KNIVES. piercing their eyes, cutting slits in their bodes, &c. Allt hese fendish cruelties the other captives were forced to witness, not knowing how soon their turn woula come. Gradually the fire worked up through the faggots and reached the bodies of the men, Whose contortions were sickening indeed. While they were undergoing ths excrociating cruelty the captors laughed, jeered and danced about them, and seemed to take VILISH DELIGHT IN THEIR PAIN, Hayward aied abou: half an hour after the faggots ‘were fired; Jones’ agonies were sooner oyer, @s the faggots under him were dryer. MacMoore shuddered when mentioning the bloody scene of fufering, and says 1t had such an effect upon him ano his Companions that they resvived to make a Tush for liberty if THEY FELL DEAD IN THRIR TRACKS. The Inaians, However, were on the alert, and Mac- Moore ana Nis compenions—Henry Brown, of New York, aud Harvey Jackson, of Ohio—were prevented for some days irom making even anattempt. The Indians stil kept moving in a northerly direction, making occasional halts for reat, But Providence had not deserted them in their misfortune. On the night of the 9th instant a heavy rain poured down upon Ueir encampment, and the savages gave Uemselves up to A FREE USB OF FIRE-WATER. ‘The Men saw that this wae their chance, and, ‘While cogitaung upon the means to be employed, John W, Stevens vs, John Totienet al.—Reterence ordered, A TRAFFIC IN VICE.

A Car Conductor Fatally Stabs a Man in a Liquer Saloon. About two o’clock yesterday morning William L. Jones, conductor on car 14 of the Fourth avenue line, residing at 321 East Twenty-first street, entered the liquor saloon of Oliver Hibbard, at the corner of Fourth avenue and Thirty-second street, consider- ably unaer the influence of liquor. Seated inthe saloon at the time was Charles Cregier, employed in the Post OMce; Thomas Large, stage driver; Andrew O'Connor, carpenter, resid- ing at 319 East Thirty-fourtn street, and two stage drivers whose names are unknown. As Jones entered we saloon he staggered up to O’Con- nor and commenced to cail him vile and abusive names, to which O'Connor, who was busily engaged ip conversation with his friends, paid no attention, a8 he noticed the man was ‘temporarily insane.” O'Connor's quiet demeanor 80 exasperated Jones that he dealt him @ powerful blow in the head with his fet. O'Connor not relishing the biow, remonstrated with Jones for 1s rudianly conduct, when he drew 4 knife from his pocket and planged it into O’Con- nor’s Jett side and arm, 2, not knowing his companion had been stabbed, seized Jones by the coat collar aud ran him out of the saloon into the street, out subsequentiy jearning O’Connor was wounded and growing weak from the loss of biood, procured the ser- vices Of officers Curtin and Dalley, of the wenty- ninth precinct, and arrested Jones as he was in the act of going into his boarding house. As Large was ejecting Joues from the saloon the Jatter stabned at him, but oniy succeeded at tater Ay in cutting the lower part about eleven at night MaeMoore discovered that we rain had stretched the thongs with whicn he was bound. Hope sustained him, and with a desperate effort he succeeded in freeing bis hands, but his feet were a6 fast aeever. Henry Brown, however, suc- ceeded in freeing himself entirely, and, surveying the sleeping Indian guard, discovered tnat they were sleeping @ drunken slumber. Cautously approach- tng one of them he drew the knife frém bis belt and cut the bonds of his companions, who steaithily crept out of the encampment and were lost in ‘the darkness. Satisfied that the fiends would give pursum in the morving, the men marched rapidly tWrongh the woods for an hour and then separated, the betier to avoid capture.

She was affectionately urged to for- sake the paths of sin and to live a nobler anda better life in the future. Froim these aud similar instances which are fre- quently recorded in our columns several important jessons may be learned, and should be remembered. In an ever-changing society like ours it is worse than folly, it isa crime, to bring up females without a khowiledge ot some useful artor employment, by which 1m adverse circumstances they may escape such a fate as befel thuse two young Women, ‘he loose and superficial forms and systems of female education are also fruitfal in leading young giris into crime and vice; and the heavy censure which society alterwards imposes upon an erring daughter for what is more its fault than hers assists more than any other cause to KEEP WOMEN IN THE DENS AND BROTHELS. Theease with which male frequenters of those places escape censure and move even among tne best soctety tends in the same direction to keep women devased. There are vther lessons, and the moral of ail should be impressed upon the minas of the young Women of our city, The police should have free access to every brothel, concert saloon and house of assignation in the city, and they should be required toenter them, and if they found any girls there who were in any manner, by force or Jear, restrained of thei liberty, they shoula take them before a magistrate and have them promptly released, and the keepers of such places punished for such restraint. Bot then an institution 18 needed, founded upon Christian morais, which shall provide work and the means 1 subsistence for all such res- cued infortunates, Here isa field for the utmost exhibition o| piilanthropy, and it is to be hoped some one will move in this direction. The two young women here named are blondes, bright and intelli- gent, and might have lived to better purpose had they been betier informed in early life. Aithough they declared that their right names are given above itis very probable that those names are fictitious, | | THE JERSEY MANGLING MACHINE, Another shocking accident occurred yesterday on the New Jersey Railroad at the Greene street cross- ing in Jersey City.

The Haymakers Beat the Olympics by a Score of 10 to G—A Fiue C te The game on whe Union grounds, WillMmsburg, yesterday afternoon, between the Olympics, of Washington, and the Haymakers, of Troy, was a good one, und was witnessed by about twelve hun- dred persons. It will be remembered that these clubs played a fine game the day before, at Troy, and that, on account of rain, it had to be “called” | at the end of the seventh mning, the score then be- ing3to3. ‘This fact gave the contest yesterday an additional interest, The two clubs were about as evenly matched as it is possible for two nines to be, and, consequently, the betting fraternity were a littie shy of how they invested their stamps, At the start the pvols sold for about the same on each club, buta little later the Trojans got the call at odas of 100 to 80, The Olympics were tne first ones to handle the bat, and so poorly aid they do it that their score ‘was adorned with nothing better than a blank. Nor were the Haymakers more successiul, tor they were handsomely disposed ot in the order of their striking. In the second inning, however, things took a change. “Tue boys from up river’ poltsned off the Washingtonians for another “duck’s egg,” after which they went in and did not come out again un- til they had scored no less than four runs, none of which were earned, however, ‘The third and fourth 1uuings were productive of nothing but Chicagoes for the Haymakers, while the Olympics were Chica- goed in the third only, they mauaging to get in a single run in the fourth. In the filth inning each nine put on two runs, the Haymakers earn. ing theirs, while those of the Olymples were obtained on errors of their opponents, The sixth mning saw no more runs scored, but in the seventh ‘those dreadful feilows from Troy” again got 10 four runs, atter having sent their disconsolate adverearies back to the field witha single one. The score was now 10 to 3 in favor ol tae ‘Trojans, @ result which somehow seemed to nave a dreadfully depressivg effect upon the boys from the classic “city of magnificent. distances.” This almost demented the uniortunates who had backed them to win. But the score was not to remain quite 80 one-sided, It seems, for in the next inning—tne elghth—the Washingtonians made three runs, all of which they earned. After this the score was not altered in the least, except to give the Olympics one more and the Huy- makers two more blanks. The jollowing 1s the score:— {The column headed “R” indicates the number of runs made; “1,” first bases on good hits; ‘T,” total bases on 00d ite; P,” put ont be the player opposite whose name ft sands; “A,” assisted to put out, and “+,” errors made.) ouym HAYMAKURS, Players. | Re Players.

Execution of the Friend Mur- derers in Virginia. Brutal Assassination of an Old Citizen by Two Negroes. Arrest and Trial Assassins. Both Men Protest Their Innocence to the Last. Grave Doubts of the Guilt of the Accused. of the PRINCE GroraR Court Hover, Va., July 28, 1871. ‘Tne two negro Friend murderers, who s0 narrowly escaped death four weeks ago by a respite of the Governor, to-day expiated their crime on the scaffold in the presence of a large crowd. The history of this ATROCIOUS CRIME bas been twice published 1n the HERALD, but it is necessary at present to give a brief review of the murder, arrest and trial of thé murderera:—Just as darkness had cast ite shadows over the earth on the evening of the 24th ot March Jast Mr. Charles Friend, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of Prince George county, was waylaid and brutally murdered on the City Point Railroad, about midway between his residence and the city of Petersburg, distant some three miles. The old gentleman had walked over to Petersburg, as was hie custom, to attend Lenten service at the Grace street Episcopal church, after which he left for his home, declining a number of invitations to remain over the night, as it was quite durk, On his way he stopped at a tailor’s near the suburbs of the city, and took a small basket containing a pair of bis son's pantaloons and some spool cotton which he had purchased that evening. He had also an umbrella inbis hand, and with these articles he emerged from the city just ag the gas lights were glittering in every direction. Little did he dream then that he was dogged by a cowardly assassin or assassins; but whea about half way bis ear caught the sound of following footsteps, and looking around he ob- served two dimly defined figures, which he toox to be negroes, rapidiy approaching. In a few moments after- wards, and before Mr. Friend had proceeded may paces further, one of the assassins—the tallest of the two—ran stealthily up behind him and dealt him A TERRIFFIO BLOW ON THE HRAD, which felied him instanuy to the ground and rendered him jnsensible. This was on the track of the City Point Railroaa, and here the murderers, with fiendish ingenuity, allowed the body to remain—tor just then the shrill whistie’ and roaring noise of an approaching train could be heard—and the as. Sassins retired into the darkneas to await the finwe of their bloody deed. They had hoped the train would nish their work and wipe ont all traces of their connection with it; but wn this they were defeated, As the thundering nolse of the train came closer it aroused Mr, Friend to consciousness, and with what feebie strength he bad lett he crawied from the track and barely escaped that terrible deata as the TRAIN SWEET PAST, Soon after this the assassins, whom Mr. Friead then dis- covered to be negroes, came to bim, and, lifting him up, head him in an upright position. For reasons which it is hard to divine the murderers then ied Mr. Friend acrots the nai Tow plank path on the trestie work of the bridge over t Appomatox River, At this poiut they were nearly overtaken by a woman also crossing the bridge, who thought served two men assisting @ third, over whom they neid umbrelin. Leaving the bridge the murderers and their vic- tim then diverged into a narrow pathwav or lane leading towards Mr, Friend’s residence, and the woman who was following continued her route on the line of the railroad. A few moinents afterwards, when alinost within hailing dis- tance of his own house, ald with the lizhte from its windows full in view, Mr. Friend was tbrown to the ground witb great force and deait several blows with a club upon ths head, FRAOTURING THE BONES OF THE HEAD AND FACE and mutilating the flesh in aborrible manner. When this tresh assault Was made the old gentleman cried out— What have I done? Whatdo you murder me tor? Help! help! murder!" But nobody heard this appeal for mercy except the woman who had crossed the bridge, and she turned a deaf ear ap kept on her way, Mr. Friend was left for dead, and the assassins retraced their steps homeward. About haif an hour afterwards the murdered man sufliciently recovered to crawl to the foot of the hid and attract by bis cries the attention of people at the house. A servant, who Tecognized his voice, came at once to bis assistance, and after procuring some help he waa carried to his house, where he died about eleven o'clock, but not before the circumstances of the murder aa just On the following day a jury of inquest Was held to investigate the facts connected’ with the ease, Dut no evidence tenaingt> implicate any party was elicited. The beople in the connty were not only terribly indignant when they heard the news of Mr. Friends murder, but they werg fully excited, and threats were freely uttered of cispos ing summarily of the murderers if they could be found, | 01 or more witnessen testified to seeing two men on the railrond near the place of the marder, one supporting the other, and concealing themselves byan ‘umbrella hoisted above ‘their heads, and the woman mentioued above testified to having heard'eries for mercy. Richard Green and Wiliam Henry Johnson, the two negroes sentenced to be executed for this murder, were ARRESTED ON THURSDAY following the day of the murder. The evidence, though cir- cumstantial, showed positiveiy*that both these men were engaged in the muraer, and no facts have transpired since Tespite exculpatory in their nature. Two men answer- ing their description were seen following Mr. Frienu when be leit the city on that fatai pee and Imprints Of the feet about the place of the murderesactly corresponded With the shoes or boots worn by the murderers. Mr. Friend was firmt assaulted by tbe taller of the two, who was pre- Yerted trou rovbing the decrascu by the approach of ‘the train or of some person passing. As shown by bis traces ho Jef; the railroad, going away some tive or six hundred yards. Mr, Friend was ten approached by another person, wi, the testimony shows, was the small man, by whom he was assisted across the trestie work of the bridge into the path or lane, where the assault was renewed and the old gentleman leit Tor dead. Singular to jowever, a wumn of money person was left undisturbed, and for ¢ome reason the murderers ran off before being al. lowed time to complete the roptery. His hat, the busket and &@ few other articles were ali that was carried of. ‘The LAST MURDERER, as the evidence at the trial established, ran across a eid and joinea the party making tbe large tracks, a fi yards away. The two then separated, and Terent routes to Petersburg, the larger one coming by the City Point Railroad. Shortly after the messenger who rode to twwn for medical aid had reached Teteravurg Richard Green was seen by an oilicer of police coming burriediy into tow. from the direction of the City Point road, aud soon afterward Green was seen with Jolinson im earnest conver- . ‘They went toa negro brothel, Johnson remsining outside while Green went in and washed some blood of his ng to the female inmates that he had had a tight, idence showed no tight pad taken place. Hott parties gaye coniiicting statements of their whereabouts the evening of the murder, denying that they were out of the honses after six o'clock P. M., whereas several witnesses te tified to reeing them out at uch later hour. Efforts were then made by the deftnee to PROVE ALINIG, which were entirely unsuecessit!. The belief 1s general in the county, though the evidence is altogether circumstantial in its nature, that they are the guilty parties. Since their re- spite inst month both the condemned men have been per- sistent in their protestations of innocence, but it wus’ ex- pected they would make a confession on the scaffold to-day. ‘THE CONDEMNED MEN. They have always borne bai characters. Tn appearance hey are avout a fair sample of the or:inary negro, Richard Green is tall, black and muscular, and answers well to the description given by Mr. Friend of his murderer betore he died. Johnson is small tn stature, about five feet six inches B height, of greater intelligence than Green, and whose name appears on the records of both the jail and the State Penitentiary. They bave had clergymen constantly in attend- ance on them, and even while protesting their innocence declare themsélves ready to die and prepared to meet their Maker. e bh went by dii- ‘THE LAST HOPE DISPELLED, Up to last night the prisoners were led to indulge the strongest hopes of a further respite if not a commutation of their sentence.

Jonson's participation in the crime being setuied beyond the question of a doubt, the only matter that remained to be examined into was the identity of the shoes, which dreen asserted he wore ob the night of the murder, and atill had possession of. A full investigation of this subject disclosed the fact that he had on @ finished gaiter, with a tapering heel, which mada the tracks at the acene of the murder, and these he took off and had the heeis altered at a shoemaker's in order to pre- vent discovery of the tracks, This destroyed the last vestige of hope remaining in their breasts, and last night, just betore midnight, they were informed that they must PREPARE FOU DEATH. About three A. M, the two condemned men were con- the jail at Richmond to the cars, strongly manacled.

Above this waa the gallows, eight fee. blic view, but Dot allows or upper Frrncture, so that when the criminals ed eae o drop they were terribly conspicuous, and the exeeu- tion was as public as the curious might de- sire, About a quarter past twelve P. M. the Sheriff, Mr, Batt, visited the condemned men in their cell and proceeded to pinion them by the arms. ‘This concl , both the con- demned men were MARCHED TO THR 8OAFFOLD, which they ascended ara and took seats on Mipsis yaad provided for them. They faced the crowd, the eyes of which ‘were centered upon them with a terrible earnestness, and ail sounas of ii er y were mereree ny! hushed, a deatn-like stillness prevailing, Upon being asked if they had anythin; to say to the crowd, John wrose and stepped to the front the platform and aatd:— FRIENDS AND BROTHERS—I am here to-day to be exe- cuted for the murder of Mr, Charles Friend, of this county, hi dh lst AM INNOORNT.

Johnson then took his seat and Green stood up, and walk- ing to the tront of the platform, addressed the crowd in voice tremulous with emotion to the same effect as Johnson, pro~ testing bis innocence to the last and bidding all his frends \d the crowd an eternal farewell. Both the attending colored clergymen then made @ solemn and impressive prayer, after which the Sheriff and his assistants approached with the ropes. ‘the hands of both were tied io front of the body, and then the ankles were secured, One of the colored cle: en then approached Johnson and asked, ‘you no message to send to your friends?” 3 0. Nothing else to say ?” 0.) ir nothing to confess about this murder!” ‘No. J know nothing about it.” After this the clergymen took farewell and left the plat. form, The nooses were then placed over the heads of the criminals und loosely drawa on the necks. A captain of a river boat from Uity Point then volunteered and tied the ropes on the cross-beam, securmg them by a professional sailor's knot; then Sheriff Batt put on the black: capa, which dimmed the vision to all earthly things, and Johnton broke forth in « loud, moaning sort of cry, aud said, ‘ST am golng to die for the murder of Mr. Friend; but I know nothing about it; I never murdered any man !* followed by 8 long, continuous whine or moan, THE LAST PROTEST OF INNOOENOR. had scarcely died on Johnson's lips when Green repented nearly the same words, and thus stood the two on the very verge of eternity depying any knowledge of the crime for which they were an instant afterwards ushered into eternity. All but the criminals had sow left the scaffold, and at ¢ quarter to one o'clock the Sherif withdrew tne bolt; the doors swung back and the bodies of both men piunged into THE YAWNING ABYSS OF THE BOA} FOLD. Both struggled fearfully ; Green, the heavier of the two, the least, Neither rope was properly adjusted, but that of Green, owing to his creat weight, remained ‘in its proper place,” and after a few convulsive strugyies his tortures ceased apparently, though signs of respiration were visible for nearly. eight’ minutes. “The knot. on Johnson's neck slipped to the back of the head, his hands c.enched in a death grip, were jerked towards the tace, and his lower limbs were ‘drawn upwards with such convulsive force as to cause the body to swing to and fro with great violence. These TERRIBLE CONLORTIONS AND STRUGGLES of the poor wretch were continued for over six minutes, when, exhausted and strangulated, the Lody became atill, the hands remaining in the ‘same upright position, but the legs huog straight and suff. Green's limbs were loose and flexible, After hanging twenty-tive minutes the Dodies were cut wo, placed in coillas and given to their friends for interment. Thus died the two criminals, about whose guilt there are now stronger doubts than prior to the execution. May not the theory of the Ricbmond detective, that the right criminals have never been aiscovered, be correct? If so, has not this execution Deen a case of legalized torture and strangulation ?
