The wounds were made with the narrow edge of a fisisplate, Me Sprague had upon his person £130, which was upou him in an inside vest pocket, - the other pockets of his clothing had been searched, as was evidenced by the Lilo ’ mats upon them, The murderer, as soon as Mrs. Sprague rau out of the bouse shouting for help, muss have immediately left, as he was not seen by Pettit or Carman.

When the train arrived Mr. Kelsey told him “that the train went to Gresnport, and for him tc wait for the next one,” which he did. Officer Robert Pratt, of Hicks ville, who was on the next train, was in- formed of it and he stopped off and arrested him, Officers Ayres and Buckler soon after arrived, and the three officers, with dif fleuity, prevented the excited crowd from lynching him. He was finally taken to ilieksville before Justice Edgar Davis, and nt noon driven over to Mr, Bprague's house, i Sprague, a brother of the wounded man, struck the prisoner a power- ful blow in the face, and would have killed bit had rot wiser counsels prevailed.

He was then taken back to Hicksville, whore the greatest excitement prevailed Inst evening, and renewed threats of lynching were freely made Heo was stromgly guarded, and taken to the Queens eounty jail at Long lsiand City on a late train, It is supposed he tried to enter the house during the night, as marks were found upon one of the side windows, showing that the attempt had been made to pry it open. He then, it appears, went into the barn. When Mr. Sprague came out he knocked him down as soon as he got on the barn flior.
