8 BOSTGN HORRORS. A BLOODY CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL. ee A Young Man Butchered by a Crazy Roommate. —— ‘Stabbing Affrnys at the North End—Unknown Bofies Found in the Water and in Alley ‘Ways-Fatal Affray at Wakefield. Boston, Dec 26, 1873. Christmes was‘empbetically a bloody holiday in ‘and arownd Boston. Im addition to the Province ‘Court neurder, briefly mentioned in & HERALD «mpecialyesterday, there is still another reported, and besides these two tragedies there Was a multi- wade of affrays not attended with fatal results. The Province Court twagedy has been the subject of much comment and excitement, and the scene of the enurder has been constantly visited by curious crowds ever since the horrible event, Mr. Milliken, preprietor of the Milliken House, was the drst to @uspect murder going on, his attention being at- tractea by loud groans about one o'clock in the morning. Oficers were called and sent ‘to the house from whence the groans proceeded. ‘The first man they met said:— “PHERE HAS BEEN A MURDER HERE.” ‘The man had a wild appearance, and was imme- @iately taken into custody. ‘The officers then asked him where the murder had been committed. “In this room,” was the reply, a8 he pointed to the front shop. The door was jocked, but was immediately opened by Mr. Johnson, the watchman. The officers entered and lighted the gas, and there lay upon the floor the murdered mon. His head was lying in a pool of his own blood, which bad also been splashed all over the floor and the benches and lathes o1 the Jocksmith shop. He was dressed in shirt and drawers and lay almost Mat upon bis back. At first sight the man seemed quite dead, but as his face ‘Was watched the blood was seen to ooze in and oat of the terrible wounds that covered him about the neck, and occasionally a shgot motion of the chest ‘was observaole. But, though not quite dead, it ‘was clear that death must surely come, and, see- ing tnat it was twmpossibie to render any assistance to the man, the oficers took the murderer to the station, where he gave the name oi Joseph T. Heg- ner. A hatchet, covered with blood, lay on one of ‘the lathes, and Was taken by the officers. It wasa common shingle hatchet, of ordinary size and Weight, witha bandie about eight inches long, neariy reuoved from the eye, as if some very heavy Diows had been struck, and Ou making a hasty ex- mination it was observed that the head was literally chopped by the blunt blade. Had the in- strument been @ sharp one the man would have been literally chopped in pieces. A pistol was found on Hegner’s person which had been dis- charged seven times, Dr. Foye was sent for in about 15 minutes after the murder took place, and arrived as soon as pos- sible, and proceeded at once to examine the body, The man was then dead. Wiping the blood trom the iace with a clovu, the Doctor proceeded to count the wounds, There Were three directiy in the rear of the right ear, two in the mouth, one on the right side of the head, one in the lett cheek, and others ’m various places suMcient to number in ali 15 ‘wounds, several of which were of so serious a na- ture that either of them would have been fatal, The closest scrutiny discovered but one pistol wound, notWitustanding that several shots were heard and admitted to have been fired by Heg- ner. hear the shoulder blade. The terrible deed was done in tae dark, except what Jight could enter from the lamp in the court, and the liring of the several pistul shots was Wild and on chance. Hegner was pot very talkative, but admitted that ne did the deed, and Dr. Foye immediately ronounced him insane. He was evidently labor- is under a delusion and bailuciuation, and made the jollowing statement :— “Antoine Huttl has worked for me several months, rooming With me until recently, when we gave up our room and began to sleep temporarily ‘On the floor oi the shop upon a@ pile of Coats and the ike in the left hand trout corner; last night I went to the shop at eleven o'clock, and found Hutt in bed; I partially undressed myself and lay down beside him, and was fast dozing of to sleep when I heard Hutth muttering, as if in his sleep, ‘The hatchet is all ready ; keep quiet.’ Almoet instantly be jumped to his leet, and | grap- pied with him. He was getting the vetter oi me, @nd, seizing the hatchet, was avont to strike at me, when I drew my revolver and fired seven shots, one after another; 1 got possession of the hatchet then and struck the man, hitting him fantil he became quiet.” Hegner also aiterwards said that the murdered Man struck him three times witha lathe which weighed at least 200 pounds, but didn’t make the slightest impression on Lim. tis probable that there was no struggle. That Heguer got the idea into lis head that his victun would murder him if he did not kill him there & little doupt, but it will probably prove true, if the exact trath can ever be known, that Hegner first began to shoot his victim while be was asicep. The shots aroused him, and there -may then have been a@ struggle, endiug in his cnop- ping him to death with tue hatchet. The pistol Shot would not have produced death. Both were email men, and would have had avout an equal chance in a hie-for-iife struggie, but the murderer has not a scratch on his person to denote that there was any such struggle. He remained, duriug the night of Tuursday, locked in a cell in the Second ice station on Court square. By order of tue Chiet or Police no one was allowed to see him except the oMfcers in charge, although bhun- Greds were attracted there apd to the spot where the murder occurred by morbid curiosity. He remained caim during the night and day and ‘understood that he had committed @ terribie crime, but clung to the delusion that he had done it to save his own life. He is avout 31 years oid, 4 email man, by no means murdervus in appearance, but his wild look would immediateiy suggest men- tal aberration. He owned the shop where they both worked and where the murder was commit- ted, and did & small business as a locksmith. They were both poor, and undoubtedly slept in the snop because they could not afford to sleep any- Where else. Although pronounced insane by geveral medical gentiemen who have ex- @mined him, certam circumstances go to show that the murder was premeditated, and ttf ® short time since an occupant of tne building was attracted to Hegner’s room by sounds of troubie, and on entering ound Huttl on the floor, with Hegner upon him, with his hands around his throat. This gentleman separated the ‘two, and has since remarked that he feared some serious dificuity woald ensue between the two men. It is said that Hegner, on Wednesday, re- marked that he feared Huttl, as the latter had made some threats about non-payment of money due him by Hegner. But, whatever feeling of iil will might have existed between them, it ts quite evident that, up to nine o'clock on Wednesday night, no difficulty had occurred, as the two were seen in the room quietly together, smoking aud reading newspapers. What transpired sudse- quently, up to the time of the tragic aftr, will robably never be Known, aud is @ matter of cou- lecture. Hutti, the murdered man, was about five fect eight inches in height, of light build, probably ‘weighing 135 pounds, He had dark balr, ound of light complexion; wore a set of stnall side whiskers and an atmost iinperceptibie mustache, and was apparently about 25 years old. Hegner says that he was a Bohemian by birth, and letters addressed ‘to him written in the language of that country cor- roborated this statem nt. was aman of good habits, rarely, if ever, drunk, avd Was never seen ‘drank by Hegner. The murderer was not a drink. ing man, and had not been drinking before the deed was done, During the war Hegner Served in the Second Massachusetts battalion And was wounded in the arm, 0 that resection “of the boue had to be performed, and one arm is shorter than the other. He was insane at times ‘while in the service und has twice been an inmate of an asylum. He is a member of Post 7, G.

THE ORAFT LARCENY CASE. Judson Jarvis Neither Implicated Nor Suspected of Complicity. It will be remembered that a few days since two men—one of them a special Deputy Sheriif—were arrested on the complaint of Mr. B. S. Craft, a Southern gentleman, involved in a private litiga- | tion in this city, on suspicion of having extracted from his pockets while in his company at Del- monico’s recently, three $5,000 gold certificates. The name of Mr, Judson Jurvis, Deputy of the | Bureau oj Arrests of the Sheriff's office, having be- | come unpieasantly involved in the affair, it 1s lair to assume that the following letter disposes of the allegations against him :— To THE EpIvOR OF THE HERALD:— The statements made in the public prints that | Mr. Judson Jarvis has been arrested and given bail upon a complaint of Mr, Burr S, Crait, are mis- takes. 1am intormed by my client, Mr. Crait, that he has no complaint to make against Mr. Jarvis and has made none. CHARLES S. SPENCER, DEC. 26, 1873. BRJOKLYN’S GAS SUPPLY. At a recent meeting of the Brooklyn Board of Alaermen the Gas and Finance Committees were directed by resolution to confer with the several gas companies, with a view of obtaining a reduc- tion in the price of gas, and inquire as to the feast bility of the city manuiacturing its own gas, The conference was heid last night in the Common Council chamber, the presidents of the several companies being present. The object was stated by Alderman Brown. The presidents of the com- panies were requested to reduce the price of gas irom $2 50 per 1,000 feet to $2 Mr, Liboy, President of the Citizens’ Gas Com- pany, stated that he did not think it possible to to make any reduction, and produced atabie of figures to show tne cost of its manufaciure. It would cost the city, he stated, $10,000,000 to build gas works, and the amount of interest on the bonds issued for that purpose would make the cost Of gas just as mach asit 18 at present. Mr. Benson, the President oi the Brooklyn City Gas Company, stated that their large dividends were paid not from the gas, but from the rise in the value of their real estate. It was stated that the amount of capital invested in gas property in Brooklyn was $9,500,000, The result of the conference will be reported at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen. WHISKEY MURDERS. It is a sad reftection that even the celebration of the boly Christmas time draws in its train excesses and crimes that are @ blot on our civilization Strong drink is the familiar demon of modern so- ciety, and whenever the safeguards of prudence are relaxed crime rushes in at a fearful pace. Tie suicide of James Gallaher teaches a terrible lesson of temperance. Uniortunate! such lessons are not rare, but their moral seems | to be lost om the violent and passionate members of society. Under the impression that he had killed his wife Gallaher shot himself in the midst o| his terrified family. Thus one repreten- sible act of Yiolence led Self-murder. The in- temperance 0! his wife is alleged to have been the primary cause of quarrel. It is a telling reproach to our boasted civilization that the innate ferocity of man seems tv be uncurbed by any law human or divine, and that the denizen @ great centre of { civilization suould be as easily moved to shed | blood as the most benighted savage. STOKES AND MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE, Last evening the Medico-Legal Society held a Stated meeting at the Medical Vollege, corner of | Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue, Mr. Clark Beli presiding, A long paper was read by Dr. Eugene Penguet, entitled ‘The Medical Jurispru- | dence of the Stokes Vase.” The paper was merely & recapitulation of the medical evidence which was testified to in the second trial of Edward S. Stokes for the killing of James Fisk., Jr, At whe conclusion of this paper, which rather inclined to favor the theory that Fisk had died from the effects of Morphine administered to him, general discustion was invitea, and Dr. MeReady, the celebrated medical expert, ‘who testi- fied at the trial, repiied to Mr. Pengu:t, and was followed by Dr. Lewis Sayre and a Dr. Furst. Noth- lng Lew Was adduced, and the old grout which | had been gone over during the different'triais of iy re-covered. The attendance bo one seemed to know what by the discassion. A GENEROUS GIFT.

THREE LIVES FOR A CUP OF “TEA. PETERBORO’, Ont., Dee, 26, 1873. Brenton, allas Cox, convicted at the last Assizes of the murder of Mrs, Payne and the boy Doughty, im the tewnship of Dummer, in November, 1872, sudered the extreme penalty of the law this morn- tag. Through the trymg ordeal of pinioning his arms, &c., he passed without the least sign that he comprehended the nature of the proceeding. He ascended the first few steps of the stairway le ing to the platform tn a timid and hesitating man- ner, when he suddenly quickened his pace toaran, but it was evident this piece of bravado was labored. As soon as he reached the platform he was directed where to stand. He asked the Sueriff, in a tremulous tone, “Will you allow me to die on my knees?” and was answered, ‘Most cer- tainly.” He was then asked if he had anything to say, and answered he had not, but, raising bis eyes to heaven, with alook and voice of excecd- ingly great fervor, he prayed “God be merctful unto me, and canse Thy face to shine upon me and bring me to the everlasting rest.” ‘Yo which the Rev. Mr. Fish responded “Amen.” The Rev, Mr. Fish was then asked to repeat the Lord’s Prayer, the condemned himself continuing to pray, and when he had uttered the words “Thy will be done,’ | the bolt was drawn and James Cox was launched into eternity, The crime for which the wretched criminal to- | day paid the forfeit of bis life was one of pecullar atrocity, the circumstances of which are briefly these :— In Maren of last year tuis man, calling himself Wiliam Brenton, though his real name was James Cox, appeared at Dummer, a rural township at some little distance from this place, seeking employment. A farmer of the neighborhood, named Jeremiah Payne, met him, urged bim to enter his house till a storm then raging haa passed, fed him and went with him some distance to guide him toa short road through the woods, The stranger thus be- friended was destined by the mysterious provi- dence of God to stain the threshold of the house which had received bim with the biood of the be- lovea wite of his hospitable host, Mr. Payne's father-in-law gave Brenton work for some weeks, and on the lst of May the stranger was hired by Payne for six months, During the time he worked on the Payne farm his conduct was that o/ an ordi- nary, inofvensive man, He was quiet and re- served, The only thing odd about him, as it appeared on the trial when it was sought to prove his insanity, was the frequent expression of a belief that hairs in bread jormed worms in the stomach, That does not suffice to acquit a criminal in Canada, whatever it might have done in New York in the palmy days of emotional insanity. Thus things passed quietly to the 14th of No- vember, 1872, On that day Payne went to the house of his nearest neighbor to superintend the running of @ horse power attached to a thresh- ing machine, leaving, alter break/last, his wile, their infant child, David Doughty. @ weakly boy of 14, and Brenton, At a quarter before eleven Emma Tamlin went to the house, re- maining there till bali-past eleven, Mrs. Payne Was knitting; the table had not been spread for dinner; Brenton and the boy were at work bank- 1bg & Toot house net far from the dwelling. From that hour tii two o'clock there is @ hiatus in this history of blood, though what then transpired can easily be read m the es of subsequent circum. stances, At two o'clock Payne was accosted b¥ Brenton, who asked him to “come home and settle with him,” his time having about expired. Payne said ne was very busy then, but would pay him next morning or that evening. Brenton asked when he would be home. ‘Not till late.” replied Payne. ‘Men are Scarce and we must finish tuis threshing.” “Weil, come home and give me some dinner, won't yout’ persisted Brenton, “Nonseuse, Wiliam,” answered his employer; ‘there are enough of them at the house without me to do that.” Brenton weutaWay reluctantly, muttering to himself that Mrs. Payne wouildn’t give him anything to drink but milk, and had-refused him tea, Halt an hour afterwards the machinery broke down, and at three o’clock Mr. Payne, having been unable to repair it, started jor home, accompanied as far as his gar: den gate by two. friends and neighbors. They bade him good day and passed on, but had only gone a few yards When they were called back by his yell of mingled astonishment, agony aud aiarm, and saw him running out of the house, like @ madman, bearing the cradle in his arms wherein a baby Was still slumbering. In the garden walk partly on the threshold of the door, lay the dead body of Mrs. Payne. Her brains had been dashed out with @ pick which still lay beside ber, aud her throat bad been cut from ear to ear, There was no sign of a struggle nor any disorder in the house within. stood beside the cradle, her knitting had been | dropped near it. The table was set for three and the cups had been fliled with milk, thus showing | that Brenton’s unnoticed words as he passed away from Payne contained the ciew to the savage deed. Search in tne root-house, where Doughty and Brenton had been working, reveaied the vouy Of the boy, Whose head had almost been cut off, His hands were clasped Le nay across bis in the blood which bad gushed from the wound in his throat, @ wound which seemed rather to have been made by a scythe than by the blade of a kuife or razor. On examining the house it was found that tne murderer had reaped but little booty trom so much bloodshed. A pocketbook containing about $5, a Ted covered book, @ pair of blankets, @ bed quilt avd a loaf of bread—tnese were the paltry spoils Which cost three lives—those of the murderer's victims, and, subsequently, of the murderer him- Self, It did not take long to institute pursuit. The fiying murderér fiad left traces at every footstep, Hail an hour alter tae murder he met two larmers, and when they hailed him, intending to offer him employment, picked up @ stone and threatened them. He had a stout stick and bundle and was pushing toward Peterborough. At @ quarter to four o’ciock a@ kindly farmer guided him through the woods to a back Toad. He asked the way to Warsaw and then refused to accompany a teamster who of- Jered nim a lift, At twelve o’clock midnight he reached this town, where the constables, who had been apprised of his approach by telegraph, were im waiting for him and arrested him. During his confinement of nearly mies Brenton affected mad. ness; Lut when he was brought up Jor trial, on the 2th of October, the medical experts tes- tifled directly that he was only simulating, and overdoing it. His counsel obtained @ delay of one day tg procure evidence, otnerwise the ¢fial from arraignhient to sentence would only have occupied one sitting of the Court, On the gvtb the case went to the jury, Mr, Justice Wilson charging the jury that the deience had failed to prove insanity and their duty was plain, Conviction and sentence followed speedily, and vo- day the dread sentence of the law was carried out, a respite of two weeks having been granted, the lith being the day of execution originally desig- paved by the Court. ARREST OF AN ALLEGED INCENDIARY. Palmer Loper, of No, 797 Eighth avenue, was ar- Tested last night by order of Fire Marshai Sheldon, charged with having set fire to the stables in Seventy-eighth street, an account of which is given elsewhere, It appears trom what OMicer Miller, of the Fire Marshai’s office, learned yesterday, that there has been some trouble between Loper and Mr. Muxiow, the owner ol the property, and the former has threatened on several occasions to burn down the place. The night before last he was ca- rousing in the neighborhood of Third avenue and Seventy-cighth street, and while roving about met several of the regular loungers of the district. He asked two or three to join him in setting fire to the stables, but they refused, Finally be encoun- tered two boys, named Joe Grimes and James Retly, These lacs be indaced to go with him and periorm tue task. The boys, in their confession yes- day to Fire Marshal Sheldon, explained how the ting was done and the instructions given them by Loper, and upon that he was arrested last night $s locked up in the Nineteenth precinct station Ouse. FIRE AT TURNER'S STATION, PaTenson, N. J., Dec, 26, 1873, The Orange Hotel, at Turner's Station, N. Y., on the Erie Railway, was destroyed by fire to-night, Servants say they had smelled fire allday. About half-past six this evening some Erie men at sup- per made an examination, and on opening a door in the vopmost story found the room tull of smoke, which soon filled the whole story. In a few minutes fre Sppesred in the cupola, where it lingered some time before spreading. The fire then gradually ran aiong the cornice, and soon the whole French roof Was ablaze. There was no fire extinguishing apparatus avatlabie, and it was impossible to check the progress 01 the flames, Which speedily enveloped ihe entire building, though not before a large por- tion of the movabie property therein had been removed. By naif-past eight the walls had begun to topple, and at nine o’clock the entire structure Was a mass of ruins, The hotel was 400 feet long, three stories high, with a French roof, built of brick, aad sit between the Erie tracks.
