Gaid 170 tor & NEW YUKK HEKALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET, POLYGAMY DOOMED. Every Mormon at the Merey of His First Wi HAWKINS CONVICTED OF ADULTERY. The Trial—Arguments of the De- fence and the Prosecution, SaLr Lage Orry, Oct, 21, 1871. ‘rhe jury in the Hawkins case came in last night with a sealed verdict, which, on being opened this mormng, was found to be “Guilty.” The court room was crowded, and the announcement created Much excitement. The counsel for the people moved that the defendant be taken into custody, which motion was stoutly resisted by the defend- ant’s attoraeys, The prosécution, nowever, were firm in their aemand that the case shoula take the ordinary course, and the United States Marshal was according\y directed to hold Hawkins as @ prisoner. Time was allowed to prepare a motion for a new trial and arrest of judgment. The penalty prescribed by vhe Utah statute for the crime of adultery 1s imprisonment for not over twenty years nor less than three years, or @ fine of not over one thousand dollars, or both fine aud im- prisonment, at the discretion of the Court. THIS 18 A TEST CASE, and virtually places all polygamists at the mercy of the first wife, who, under the act, is rhe only party who can institute proceedings against the husband, The case WaS conducted on both sides with great determinalion, and the charge of Judge | McKean to the jury last night is spoken of as being eminently abie. ‘The prisoner will remain in custody of the United States Marshal until Tuesday morning next, when Chief Justice McKean will pass sentence upon him. It is generally believed that he wtil be sent to the Penitentiary for @ term of years. The result of this trial will, it is thought by many, occasion a good many: others, as many first wives have already ap- Plied to the prosecuting attorney to commence crimi- nal proceedings against tucir husbands. In the Hawkins case notice of appeal to the Supreme Court of the Territory was given. THE TRIAL. The Hawkins adultery case was resumed yester- day morning before Chief Justice McKean and a jury. Mrs. Hawkins was cross-examined at length, but the main portion of her testimony bearing on the alleged acts of adultery was not shaken. Miss Hawkins was then examined by the prosecu- tion. She testified that her father had two other wives besides her mother. She knew they were his wives because they hved in the same house with him and had children whom he had acknowledged. The defence made no cross- examination. The prosecution then said that the defence offered only one witness, who testifled that Elizabeth Meears, the party with whom the de- fendant is accused of having committed adultery, 1a @ sister of his, and that she was married to the de- fendant in 1862. A brief cross-examination was made, and the case rested. General Maxwell, as- sistant prosecuting attorney, then summed up. The News, oficial organ of the Church, reports that part of the proceedings as follows:. The assistant prosecuting counsel made a speech in support of the prosecution, which was character- isuc of him, but neither eloquent nor brillant; but to us it appeared to be overflowing with that vine dictiveness usually manifested by this worthy to- ward a community who have suffrede the infliction ol his presence for years, and allowed him to live here in 1l-deserved peace anc safety, ‘The Charch organ naturaliy takes a great deal of credit to the community that General Maxwell has been permitted to live here without being molested, It would seem to think that he ought to be driven away or his safety imperilied. This is the Mormon feeling. Mr. Minor, one uf the defendant’s counsel, replied, arguing that as POLYGAMY WAS A RELIGIOUS BELIEF it could not be interfered with under the constitu- tion. Tom Fitch then followed for the defendant to show that polygamy was not unnatural and that it was governed by civiliaw. He was astonished ana grieved to see a wife testifying against ber husband, and grew eloquent over the sufferings of the poor husband, but omitted vo allude to the feelings of the first wife, whose huspand haa two other women in the house living with him as wives. He contended that Hawkins, belng a Mormon, had no mtention of committing a crime, and that inten- tion was essential to conviction; that there was no law against polygamy when he took his second wile, and he could not be guilty of adultery, be- cause he was legally married to the woman accord- img to the usages and customs of the Mormon Church. ‘The trial was continued in the evening. Mr. Bas- kin, attorney, made the most masterly argument ever mace here on both the law and the facts. He Was undemonstrative and logical, and speedily dis- sipated the clonds of sentiment and sopnism with which the counsel for the defence had attempted to obscure tne minds of the jury, He combatea each point advanced by the defendant's counsel and showed how flimsy was the pretence that the defendant’s intent was good, and therefore shouid be taken into consideration in forming the verdict. Mr. Baskin spoke for ap hour and a half, and at the conclusion of his argument Chief Justice McKean charged the jury. He that the statute of the Territory of Utah against aduiter was plain and explicit; and even tnougi the Legislature which enacted it was composed ot polygamists, as claimed by defendant, of which there was no proof, still that could not affect the interpretation of tie statute. Polygamists could not pass a general act against adultery and claim ex- emption from it because they believea in revela- tions for allowing polygamy. Law, and not pre- tended revelation, must govern @ court and jury. He charged that il the jury believed the evidence they must find A VERDICT OF GUILTY, whether the derendant had married his second or thira woman or not. The marriage to Harriet Haw- kins was the only lawful marriage. The Chief Jus- tice’s charge was eminently lucid. In repiy toa estion of a juror the Judge said that the imtent was clearly shown; there could be no question about it ‘The jury was then Jeft in the hands of the United States Marshal, and were instructed to bring in a sealed verdict the following morning. Among the know- ing ones it was predicted that the jury would not agree, but to-day’s verdict has settlea that ques- tion. The andience last night was large, but the excitement not very great with the public gener- ally. Railroad Rates in Utah. Sar LAKE City, Oct. 21, 1871.

Vice Commodore Douglas’ Yacht Sappho Sails the Livonia Over the Ocean Course. The Livonia Beaten Thirty Min- utes and Twenty-nine Sec- onds and Between Five and Six Miles. Vietory No, 3 for the Ameri- ca’s Cup. The American yacht Sappho gained a complete victory yesterday over the English yacht Livonia. Great interest was manifested in the race. The committee boat, Seth Low, lefi the foot of Des brosses street at half-past seven o’clock A. M., hav- ing on board some members of the committee, repre- sentatives of the press, and a few others, among tne latter being Mr. Ashbury. The morning was very cold, but the water was calm and the trip to Quarantine was made under circumstances that may therefore be easily imagined. At Quarantine the Columbia was taken in tow. Mr. Ashbury, standing on the upper deck, nad his attention riveted on the beautitul proportions of the vessel till she reached the Hook, Arrived at the Hook, the Columbia put on sail and sped away to the lightship. The other yachts present were the Dauntieas, the Enchantress, the Sappho and the Dreadnaught. After reaching the Hook tne wind began to freshen, and everything prom. ised an excellent race. Shortly. before his leaving the Seth Low the committee in- formed Mr. Ashbury that they had selected the Sappho to contest the race. Mr. Ashbury re- plied, without anticipating the result, “that it did not make any difference to him which yacht was selected.” He then went on board the Livonia, which had sailed up, looking fine. It may be added that during the trip Mr. Ash- bury made a great many statements, many of them being of course in accordance with his pecu- Mar views of yachting matters and not particularly noticeable, One remark in particular, however, Which was credited to him deserves to be repeated, and it was this:—‘That the Columbia in one of the races won by her did not turn the stage point on the side which Mr. Ashbury thought was the proper side in which to turn, and hence he would refer the matter before a European congress of yachismen, and of course the matter would be decided in his favor.’ As to the America’s cup, “that, of course, would, In all pro- bability, be retamed by this country; but he (Mr. Ashbury) was perfectly satisfled with its retention; in fact, New Yorkers might meit tt up for local purposes if they liked.” ‘THE CONTESTANTS, Nationsuty. -American, THE RACE. The weather was of the most delightful descrip- tion, but in the early morning it was feared that there would be no wind and the day’s race thereby ‘ve of an inferior nature. The committee boat seth Low left the foot of Desbrosses street promptly at half-past seven o'clock, and stopping at Quarantine, took on board Mr. George Wilson, chair. ufan of the acting committee for the 4 and several other gentlemen, when, taking in tow the Columbia, fully repaired and ready to do battle again, she steamed for the starting point. Off the Dumb beat! down the Swash hannel, the Sappho, Dreadnaught, Dauntless and vonia were ohserved, making the starting point; but the wind was so light that they scarcely moved through the water. At eleven o’clock the Columbia's hawser was dropped from the Seth Low, and, by direction, she put back in com with the tugboat Leon—intended for the markboat—for the | ete of towiug the Sappho and Livonia to the lightship, that there should certainly be @ race. By the time they were reached tae wind had hauled to the southward and was Ireshening, so the assistance of the tugs was not needed. After the yachts arrived the committee held a con- sultation, and at once concluded that there were chances for # stiif breeze from the south-southwest, the wind having meanwhile nauled to that point, and they decided to start the Sappho. The selection seemed greatly to please Vice Commodore Dougias, and obtaining eight men from the Dauntléss to give him a sufficient racing crew, no time was “cut to Waste,” but the boats made instant preparation for the earnest struggie beiore them. The course as given was dead to windward, south- southwest from Sandy Hook lightship twenty miles and return. ‘fms course anu distance brought the markboat a mile below Squan Inlet, and in ample time she was despatchea to anchor at the turning point. Before the starting of the racers was effected the Enchantress appeared on the scene, and the Magenta, arriving with five or six hundred passengers, the excitement about the lightship was pleasant in the extreme. The Cotum- bia, Dauntless, Dreadnaught and Enchantress, it Was evident atthis pertod, Woald accompuny the competing vessels areund the course, or partly so, and this assurance was hatled with much satisfac- uon, as it was anticipated that the sight of the six largest yachts in any waters tussiing for the supremacy over an Ocean course would be grand, and so it turned out, as no yachts- man ever saw 4 grander race than was yesterday sailed. The Seth Low was now ordered to be an- chored to the eastward ofthe lightship, so that the ume of the crossing of the imaginary line by the yachts could be accurately taken. The wind, mean- While, was freshening every minute, and at 12h. 2m, 30s. the signal to prepare was given by lowering the flags on the commitice boat, and five minutes after, at 12h. 78, 303., to the intense delight of every one. they were lowered again, and rolonged whistle signalled the racers to beaway. ‘The Sappho did not wait to manceuvre, but, with fore and inain sails, staysail, jib, fying jib and gaff topsails set, she fell grace- fuily off, and. feeling the stuf breeze, sprang for- ward to her work. The Livonia waited for a mo- acking for @ weatherly position and ob- too, was kept off toward tie line. reached it at @ tremendous pace, and, With everything drawing we'l, CROSSED THE HM & HM. S. - 12 11 00 Livoni BR & race began in earnest with a dead beat to windward, a good breeze and the last of the flood tide. Everybody was in ecstasies, as 16 was a day to demonstrate the relative sailing qualities of the yachts and show just how much the visiting vessel could do with a first class keel boat. The Columbia passed the imaginary line at 12h. 18m. 408., carrying most of her racing clothes, while the En- chantress went by the lightshi in shore. From the very first 1 was evident that the Sappho was forereaching on the Livonia, and from the jump outpotnting her and apparently well handled. At 12h, 22m. 10s, the Livonia weut about and stood for the Highlands, At 12h, 24m. 06s. the Sappho went about on the same tack; and now the lands- man had a chance to experience some of that joyous exhilaratton which makes the true sailor, in spite of hardship and privation, exult in his profes- ston aud Shout unto the shark, which follows in his lee, Some day I'll make thee carry me like lightning through the tea. The Sappho at the start showed great speed and ability to go to windward, as on the first tack she presented ner taffrail and the lee side of her sails to her competitor, The Livonia stood away in shore, hoping for « more favorable breeze and looking for chances, ant sang, as a friend of Commodore Ashbury on the Seth Low remarked. “to win by a ‘fluke rather than by squarely outsail- ing the Sappho.’ At 1:01 tne Livonia went avout again aud passed @ long distance under the stern of the Sappho. The latter went about on the starboard tack at 1:16 off Seabrigut, and now took in ner big gatt topsatls and set smaller ones, the work being done in the most admirable manner. Both vessels were doing magnificeotiy, bot the Sappho Was gradually crawling away from Ashbary’s pet craft, and as it was breezing harder and harder it was evident in beating to windward the American beauty could walk away from her at will, At ih. 86m. 50s. so grandly had she done thts that she was fully two miles in the advance and considerably the weather boat. The leading Tracer was now about of the Tavern Houses. At this period of the race the accompanying yachts were doing finely, and presented a splendid sight. The Enchantress had been admirably man- aged, and eaten up to the Columbia, and the tussle for the supremacy between t was much admired. ‘The latter was doing remarkably well, but there Was quite @ sea on, and the Enchantress at last gave her the = go-by, and then away for ‘the Jersey coast, The Dreadnaught ‘was on the lee bow of the Livonia and doimg well, while in advance of her was the Dauntiess—all these vessels looking and sailing grandly. a} ei i nd wt 2 Sappho went about and again at tw b excellent judges put her two and a half miles in ad vance, and as pretty a sight Jamping througn the water a8 any yuchtsman ever saw. It still breezed fresher than ever, and it was evident that the Livonia had as much as she wanted in this respect; but none could heip giving her great praise for her sailing qualities, which were excellent, et her fleet antagonist was too much, At u:az the vonia went apout, and at 2:30 the Sappho followed ‘on the port At this time the Columbis, having been dome ‘Sabi ably (or a Wie orevious, Yeeun to pick op the Livonia, and sailed faster and pointed better than she, and this incident was recetved with cheers, as her plucky owner could be seen on deck ee his antagonist for future occasions. At 2:04 the Livonta set her jib-neaded topsail, and the Columbia, showing her skill a while longer, at 83044 went about and stood for home—a pru- deut act, as the breeze was very fresh, and acct- dents will happen. The Dauntless and Dreadnaught also did the same wise thing. The Livonia stood on tne inshore tack a long while, and though she was sailing well it was apparent she was hopelessly beaten at this stage of _ the race, At 3:76 the Sappho again went about, standing on the tack juss ten minutes, when fully sighted the mark- boat and was working in good ‘ition to turn It, The Livonia stood off shore at 4h. 51m. 308. and at this time there were five miles between the racers. Working beautifuily the Sappho bowled up on the markboat, and, tacking judiciously, turnea it from the west admirably, while her antagonist on the port tack went around from the TUKNIN AMS Sappho ........ eee We) It will thus be seen that in the working to wind- ward the Sappho, with the difference in the start- 1 ng, bad beaten the Livonia nearly twenty-six min. utes, and now homeward it was a free sheet, and no sooner areund the markboat was the Sappho than abe winged out, and it must have taken a fast steamer to catcn her, as the Ma- nta could not hold her own for awhile. The reese continued magnificently, and from the start had not veered a point. The same English gentie- maa, Who had previously referred to the race an hour or so before, now approached two or three members of the cominitiee, then ina throng ex- cnt Ing congratulations on the success of their favol ‘and said, in the most serious of all tones:— “Weil, she’s a ghost; she’s the fastest sailing vessel in the world; and the committee thought 80 too. The day was now fast passing away, and really the splendor of the Sappho’s sailing was the only incident of tnterest. The seth Low had re- turned to be in time at the Lightship to note the advanced racer’s arrival, and for that there was not a@ long waiting, as the Sappho Kept dashing along, and for miles it was & race rather with the fast steamboat Magenta than with the Livonia, being a neck and neck contest th the two up to the Lightship. In time to see the cheerful faces on the Sappho’s deck, to wonder at her beautiful model and see her exquisiie management, she Passed the imaginary line amid the screams of whistles and the cheers of the spectators, Standing on and of tne Lightstip for awnile the Sappho lowered her foresati and awaited the arrival of the Enchantress, which, by the way, did not go to the Mmarkboat, and tn her company sailed for the old anchorage off Stapleton, 8. L. It was quite dark when the Livonia reached the Lightship, as she ‘Was over thirty-three minutes astern of her com- petitor and in distance five miles or more, and none of the excursion vessels having remained the com- mittee boat was alone ieftto do her honor.

THE KU KLUX WAR. Effects of Martial Law in South Carolina. Stampede of Citizens from the Counties Under the Ban. Reported Fight on Broad River—Federal Forces Call for Reinforcements. CoLuMBIA, 8. C., Oct, 21, 1871. So far there has been litte or no intelligence re- ceived here from the counties comprising the dis- trict proclaimed under martiai law. The announce- ment of the establishment of military rule was first received with evident surprise, alterwards followed by a feeling of general indignation. By this time the President's proclamation has arrived at the centres of all the counties named in it, but tt will take sev- eral days yet before it can be promulgated among the people. Accounts from the portions of the military dis- trict accessible by the railroad and telegraph state that there isa hegira of persons to other States to avoid arrest, Numbers, and perhaps the major- ity, bowever among whom may be included all the prominent men, remain to brave tae impending danger.

H. E, HAYNE, Senator from Marion county. Information has just been received here from York and the adjoining counties of Spartansburg and Chester, stating that the greatest excitement exists there owing to the summary proceedings of the United States Marsha! and the troops. Forty-four citizens were arrested and crammed into a jali which was already full ot negroes, Several hundred citizens have deserted their homes, in consequence of the wholesale arrests, and sought refuge in the wouds until an opportunity presents itself to seek safety in a more distant fight. A reign of terror exists In that entire section of the State, and depredations are betag committed on the property of citizens, who have fled, by negroes and other evil disposed persons, A fight is said to have taken place on Broad River, between a band of the Ku Klux and the United States troops, and the conflict was 80 severe that reinforcements have been called for, Surrender of a Den of Kn Kluxes i Spartunbugg—Reported Discovery of a Scheme for Rebellion Agninst the State Laws. WASHINGTON, Oct, 21, 1871, Ad vices received here from South Carolina state that at Spartanburg, on Wednesday evening last, a@ Ku Klux den, consisting of a chief and twenty members, surrendered to United States Marshal Jonson, with their arms and disguises, Up to Friday morning seventy arrests had been made in the vicinity of that town alone. Spartanburg 1s know fo be the headquarters for that Congressional district. Arrests have been made in other counties, but the number fs not known here. Attorney General Akerman is still with Colonel Merrit. For prudential reasons very little ts said in administration circles as to the information of which the Department of Justice is in possession. A number of well known citizens are missing, tn- cluding Mr. Lyle, a member of the Legislature, who is reported to be the chief of the Kian for that dis- trict. Among those who have disappeared are two or three clergymen, known for their strong revel proclivittes, The officers of the law are proceeding steadily with their work, and before the arrests are all made they will, it is affirmed, show the existence of a deep and wide conspiracy against the State, the laws and all who sustain them.

The Latest Additions to the Programme—A Grand Serenade for the Visitor at Night—A Repu- diation by a Representative Pole De- nying That His Countrymen Ever Intended to Molest the Prince. Yesterday everybody connected in any way with the reception of the Grand Duke was on the qui vive and fully expected that the fleet would arrive at some time during the day. Their antictpations, however, were not consimmated tn fact, as the feet did not arrive and the Prince consequently was not within the hail of the welcome awaiting him. The fleet in the bay remain as stated im yesterday's HERALD, the Kansas and Iroquots lying off the tele- graph station opposite Sandy Hook, so as to signal the remainder of the fleet as soon as the Russians arrive. It was yesterday stated in the dally papers that the members of the “Reception Committee’? would ride im carriages from pier No. 1 up Broadway with the Prince, but that should have read “Executive Committee,” as the former, on board the Mary Powell, after having Janded the Prince at the Bat- tery, will land up at some point near Fourteenth street, for the convemence of those ladies who desire to witness the procession turn- ing out of Broadway inw Fourth avenue. Any persons, however, who desire to land at Twenty-third street will be able to do so, as it Is ar- ranged that every accommodation shall be extended to those persons who go out to weicome the “young gentieman,” as he 1s now familiarly called. The latest contemplated addition to the programme is that Major Montgomery has suggested to build a LARGER BOOTH OR TENT ON UNION SQUARE. This would be ona large scale and would be ar- Tanged 80 a8 to accommodate a great number of people. The ladies and gentlemen of the reception committee would then be conveyed to the foot of Fourteenth strect and thence proceed to the tent, and wait until the procession should arrive, If this could be done it would doubtiess be a most useful addition, but the time 1s very short, and if it is to be done it must be set about at once and finished oif hand. Should the weather be favorable, the military and their ft area will be seen tothe best aa- vantage, and the pageant will be one of the longest and mos: imposing Of this character that have ever paraded in the city of New York. THE MARCH PAST. It 1s now decided that instead of the Prince reviewing the troops from the pene of one of the windows at the Clarendon Hotel, he will be drawn up in his carriage in front of the main entrance of the hotel; the Seventh, T'wenty-second and other regiments or the special escort will salute him, and then as many as can conveniently will deploy opposite the cacriage on the west side of Fourth avenue. A space will then be left between the troops and the carriage occupied by the Prince for the infantry regiments to pass through and salute the impevial visitor as he stands in his carnage. A SERENADE FOR ALEXIS. ‘The members of the band ot the Ninth regiment have prepared a grand surprise for the Prince, under the direction of Colonel Fisk. On the evening of his arrival the entire band of 150 members, under the leadership of Curl Bergmann, and aided by Levy, the cornet player, will assemble under the window of the front room occupied by him at the Viarendaon. and serenade him with music prepared especially for the occasion, many of the airs being taken from Russian music books, 80 that he will be as familar with it as though it emanated from a band in bis own native city.

A Grazy German Attempts to Murder His Friend—He Fails, and Blows His Own Brains Out. Newark seems to be having a regular glut of horrors just now rolling in on top of the terrinte tragedy whose sickening details occupied the attention of the Oyer and Termimer there during the past few days. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon there was near being enacted a couble tragedy. An aged German named Christian Zons, Who has been deranged somewhat ever since the death of his wife, eight or nine years ago, en- tered the store of his friend and relative, Mr. H. Plagge, grocer, corner of Scriber lane, and said he was going t have his revenge. Before Plagge could make any temark Zons whipped out @ revolver, and, presenting it at Plagge, fired. Luckily the ball struck in the fleshy part of the thigh, inflicting a wound which 1s not serious. The would-be murderer fled to a vacant lot, corner of High and Court streets, and there put an end to himself, Placing the pistol to his head he blew out his brains and instantiv fell dead. The authorities have taken charge ot his body and effects. He was nearly seventy years of age. The immediate cause of the old man’s Irighttul act scems to have been the result of some family difference between him and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Plagge. OBITUARY. Charles Babbage the Mathematician aad Philesopher. A cable telegram from London reports that Charles Babbage, the mathematician and philoso- phical mechanist, died in England on Friday even- ing, at the age of seventy-nine years. Mr. Babbage was born in England in the year 1792. He was educated in Trinity College, Cam- bridge, and graduated im the Cambridge Unt- versity. During his earlier studies he per- ceived that the logarithmic tables then in use— the book by whicn the larger operations of astronomical calculation are worked out—was defective, and even unfaithful in many instances. The science of navigation was impeded, and the maps and charts of the different governments ren- dered unreliable in consequence, Mr. Babbage set himself to correct tnis by apes the unerrin movements of mechamsm to the preparation o loganthmic tables m place of the perturbanie process man’s intellect. He visited the different centres of machine labor, both in England and on the Continemt of Europe, keep- ing his grand idea always in view. He inspected and compared wheels, levers and valves and studied theit vatious functions. Returning to Eag- land from the Continent im 1821 be undertook to direct the construction of a “difference engine” jor the government, He subsequently prepared his work on the “Economy of Manufactures,” then & new subject. In 1883 @ portion of the machine which he recommended was put together and found to work admtrably. His Tables of Logarithms of the natural numbers followed. He was elected to tne chair Of mathematical projessorship in Cambridge in 182%, @ seat which was once occu- ied by Sir Isaac Newton. Mr. Babbage discharged (3 duties for eleven years. His leisure hours were devoted to the perfection of his machine, He re- ceived no remuneration for his services. In 1x35 the construction of the machine was suspended, no explanation being given, and never re- sumed. Mr. Bal was @ member of tne learned societies of London and Edinourg and con- tributed very largely to their transactions. He took @ very despondent view of the condition of science tm Great Britain. His Great Exhibition was pub- lished in the year 1851, makiag the list of his pub- lished works number almost eighty. In 1864 he pro- duced his “Passages irom the Life of a Phituso- phe..” Mr. was aa English liberal of the most advanced views in politics, He sought the pardamentary representa .ion of Finsbury im 1832, bus Was defeated at (he elecliguy if THE PACIFIC COAST.

FRIGHTFUL KEROSENE PATALITY. Despite the hundreds of terrible warnings oom tained in the news columns of the HexaLp aay after day there are yet to be found persons who will expose their very lives to the danger of carelessly handling kerosene oll, In Newark, on Friday night, a woman met a frightfeb fate as the result of not heeding these warnings, Mrs. Mary Ann Donnelly, wile of a canal boat cap- tain, attempred to fill a lighted lamp with kero- sene oll, je result was an explosion, and she was fairly roasted alive.
