Thus Panishing Him for the Awfual Crime Ho Committed. National Aseoc’ ied Proes, St. Pavr, April 28.—At about 1 o'clock this morning a party of masked men appeared at the jail in Minne- apolis and demanded the surrender to them of Frank McManus, the tramp who brutally mutilated the 4 year old child, Nina Spear, yesterday. The sheriff was made a prisoner by the mob but refusea to divulge the where- abouts of McManus. The mob then made & thorough search of the jail, breaking open every cell on the firat floor without finding the prisoner, They then ascended to the floor above and repeated the ceremony of broaking open the cell doors until Mo- Manus was found. The latter was taken to the house of the vietim, where he was fuily identified. Without further ceremony the mob took M- Manus to a tree in front of the High school building and hanged him at quarter past 4 this morning. Before MoManus was strung up confessed the terrible ccime. He was a tramp 26 years old, and came from Boston. Excite- ment ran very high during the night, both in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and public sentiment is indisputably with the men who thus administered justice to the author of one of the most atro- cious crimes in the annals of Minne- sota The child victim of McManus is in a precarious condition, and it is doubtful of her chances of recovery. The tramp, Frank McManus, just before death gave his name as James Crowley and said his mother, Nancy Ann Crowley, lived in South Boston, ©One who anew McManus, however, ositively identified him as Frank (cManus, a professional burglar who had served two terms in the Massa- * chusetts state prison. He died game, showing not the slightest trepidation, and declared the crime was committed while he was drunk. T . The Apaches, Natlonal Associated Press. TucsoN, Arizona, April 28, —Capt. Overton has arrived in San Sawon ~arter & iruitiess march of five -days through Doubtful e¢anon. He has been on the trail of the Indians who were in the vicinity of Gualleysville, but on account of the exhausted con- dition of the troops it is doubt- ful if the trail can be continued. The Indians are breaking up into small bands and scattering, thus making it difficult for the troops to follow them, but giving the hostiles every advantage in reaching their stronghold in Mexico.

Natfonal Associated Prom New Haves, Conn., April 28,—In the Malley caso Prof. Chittenden, of Yale, tostified that Jennie Cramer's bones showed no traces of arsenic, up- sotting the theory of the defense that sho was an areenic eater. This caused a sepsation. The witness maid the body, when exhumed for analysis, al- though then weighing but fifty-seven pounds, contained a total of 31192 grains of arsenic, sufficient to cause death, Direct examination of Prof. Chit- tendeu was resumed after recess, He gave in detail the quantities of arsenic found in the stomach, etc., and said that in his opinion the arsenic found could not have been in the body long before death—say less than twenty- four hours. In cross-examination he read from Ludwig and Scolosbuft, authorities on toxicology, in support of his theory. At 3 o'clock the court adjourned till Tuesday morning. IR AR 7 Endorsing Crittenden.
