Particulars of the Terrible Tragedy— The Coroner’s Inquest—confession of . the Murderer. ■ [from the Peoria Review, July 6.] A few days ago we gave a brief state- Bient of a brutal murder near Onarga, in this State, in which a father tilled his own son. The prominent actor in. this dreadful tragedy was named Martin Mera, an Irishman by birth, about 44 years of age, 5 feet S inches in height, thick set and muscular, with a forbidding counte nance, a restless, impatient eye, and a leep gutteral voice. He owned a place icntatning eighty acres, about two and a half miles from Onarga, Iroquois county. . His bouse shows a considerable degree of refinement, and the number of boobs and pipers indicated that its owner. was a person of considerable intelligence. He was known among hisneigbbors as hon est, a prompt paymaster, and a hard working man; but be bad a dreadful tem pin', and when under its influence would Whip bis horses unmercifully, cutout the eyes of bis hogs, and Indulge in other pcts.of brutal and fiendish passion. His family consisted of bis wife, an intelli- gent lady, aged about 40, and six Child ren, tbe eldest 14 years and the youngest sbout.aj days. Tbe eldest boy waalnamed , jAfarttii, ana he Was 11 yean of age. On . ,the 16th of June Mera came to Gilman and posted two written notices, stating that nig boy had run away from home, and. Offering a reward for bis return. He stated jbCosely that bo did not know why [the lad should leave, as he bad always treated him well. A few days after some of the neighbors began to suspect that something was wrong, and bn the 30th. •Messrs. MoCourtle and G. B. Winters, of ’Onarga, and otben swore out a warrant, and started for Men’s bouse. On their way they stopped at a school which Hera’s oldest daughter was attendingnnd ques tioned her. On promising to protect her, .she said her fatherbad beaten her brother, and after beating him bad put him on the 'stove, and she had-never seen him since, but believed be-was dead. Armed with these facts the party arrested Mera, He j was perfectly calm, and insisted that his ;• boy bad run away. He was released, and ’eight then watched the bouse In bones that be would visit the grave and give them a clue to the body, but be did not do this. The next day be was taken to Onarga on a warrant for murder, and a [large.party went out to look for tbe body of tbe murdered boy. The search was continued ail day without success; but finally, late in tbe afternoon, Mr. John Barnes, of Gilman, found near tbe hedge south of the bouse a piece of olay, subsoil that bad been cut with a spade. A stick was.forced In tbe ground about three feet,- and on being drawn out it smelled of de cayed matter. Tbe ground was removed and the body of tbe boy Martin was found buried four feet eight inches deep. He Was enveloped in a sheet, neatly pinned about bis body, and he bad on bis shirt, pants and cap, the latter pulled over bis eyes. The body was very much decom posed, but the feet gave evidence of being jurnt. The news quickly spread, and MbCoartie went to town to see Mera. On his approach Mera was saying to tbe crowd, ‘lf I’ve killed the boy, why don’t they find the body.’ MoCourtle responded, 'Martin, they have found the body, and you must submit to tbeso handcuffs.’ •Where did they find it, Mao?’ ‘Close by the hedge in the garden-’ •gave mercy on me, Mac ?’ 'How can you ask fqr mercy; never having shown it* while your boy plead for it? No, sir, do not ask me for.mer cy,’ ' *1 did, Mao. Idid whip him to death,’ saJd’Mera. Th 6 excitementin Ouarga was intense,) ahd a large crowd gathered expressing ‘'their determination tolynch the prisoner. XHfrtng’ this! time Mera seemed perfectly c6ol, : ond even expressed his regrets that . he'dldnpfcdo the work more thoroughly. 'was 'finally put in a wagon and re moVOfT to Watseba, the county seat, wti&ebe was lodged in jail. This was laBt r -Satu‘rday. On'Sunday the coroner fmp&fclled a jury and held an inquest.— The labft df niidifag the body were given aa above- : Tfid mother and sister of the boy testi fied as follow .* A TALE OF HORROR.

He had T® .? d ( 'S 1 ® regimbnt; in, 1868; snd, :Vl March of that year,-took .passage,on board a shipbpuhd Tor Valparaiso; *f. ‘ . Up .to April/1854, letters came from biin to his’mother; who learned ;itoia. them that he. was engaged in travelings fa .yariouß.parta of South America. He' .also, sent home birds, some pictures, and ! some peculiar stfnre or stirrups,. In. the i course of 1854,.news came to Tichborne/ that Roger had taken passage at Rio de 1 Janeiro—as mentioned before—lh April, on the ship Bella, bound fdf New York; that she had foundered at-sea, and r that the ©Whereand underwriters:treated her as having been lost; No tidings came of l except that one boat belonging to vine Bella bad . been with on the ocean;‘with no one on board, and'it was, takeir for granted that the whole crew ! IwcF&drowned. This seems to have been ; acCeptad as. conclusive by all but Lady Tichborne. She, however, set forth in l fc thßfc * h ® always clung to the 1 belief that her son. was. saved, and bad a i settled presentiment that she would one day see nlm again. I Now, In or about the year 1858, a sailor 1 presented himself at Tichborne Park— | the tale Is exactly like a novel—and said he had just come from Australia.’ - He asked : iot alms, and had a talk with the 1 lady of the manor; ■ In this conversation he.declared that he had heard that a beat’s crew from ashlp, which ho thought was the RcHa, had beeh picked up at sea andbrought Intd Melbourne: Sir Tbos, Tichborne, the father, did not think the report worth notice; The 1 mother, how lever, finding in it a edrrobbration of her cherished hopes, citing to It as gospel.— She caused advertisements to be Inserted lip >the Australian; papers,.and took va rious other measures to discover her loaf 'sbn. All were unavailing, It appears,; until after the death of Sir Thomas. But in the month of March, 1868, she at last re ceived a letter from Sir Roger, written, ■ from New South Wales# expressing the wish to come home directly, and ashing that money should be'sent to enable him to do so. This was done—although he seems to have started without wdltlbg to receive the draft—and he arrived in Paris; to meet his mother, accompanied by a wife and child, in January, 1867. He, being unwell, I.aciy Tichborno went to 1 see him at a hotel In the Rue tst. Honors. She “ Instantly recognized him”.as her first born son, Roger Cbaries.Tlebborne. Her conviction on this point 1s strongly expressed, and Is coupled with various confirmatory statements. One paragraph of her statement runs as follows : ■ “ I am as certain as I ‘am of my own existence, and distinctly and positively swear that the plaintiff is my first-born sou, the Issue of my marriage with the said Sir James Francis Doughty Tloh borne, deceased. His features, bis dispo sition and voice are unmistakable, and must, in my judgment, be recognized by impartial and unprejudiced persons who knew him before he left England, In the yenrlBs3.” The belief of Early Tlobborno was fur ther strengthened by constant talks with her son over numerous private family matters that occurred in his youth, by his,reminding her of the articles he had sent from South America, etc. All this evidence, she says in the affidavit, ie most positive ; and conclusive, and it Is impos-. sibie that she can be mistaken.' 1’ ' On Ihe'htb'er hand; against this and other klndredijtestimony, there'appear some staggering counter-proofs. Several witnesses, one. of them ,a well-known clergyman; who knew Sir former ly, swear that‘they, do not believe the present olainqant to be Sir Roger at .all. —The real 81 r Roger was, educated ini Franco, and spoke French with fluency! up to the time he left Hugi.aud. - Now, the present claimant is alleged, to , be quite ignorant of French—a point that I can, of course, be easily settled. It'ft.: moreover, said that the Sir Eogor who; sailed for Valparaiso'was short and slight, the.putative Sir Roger of to-day is; neither. As he was twenty-four years oh age at Hie time of bis'departure, it is: plausibly urged that be can scarcely have altered materially in. stature since that ] time. The contestants farther declare that the wboleailalr is aconaplraoy, of which a man named Bogie, for many years in the Tlobborne or Doughty family, is the prime mover, and that he it is who haa selected blsman in Australia for this novel personation, supplied him with full information, arid taught him bow to play the delicate and critical part thereafter, Thus Tar thwcaie of both sldeaTobha so strong that it.is quite, difficult In form a decided opinion, not only whether Bir Roger is Blr Roger or Arthur Houghton, but as to’which party is likely to 1 prevail. If the case la-one of consplrsoy. lt has been managed with astonishing adroit ness ; and if this claimant from beyond the sea la the Veritable baronet, there will hardly have b&n a case on record in wbiob a man baa had to overcome such difficulties in order to prove bis own iden tity.
