Boy Fourteen Years Old Convicted of,Murder And Sentenced To Death, la the Toronto Globe we find a detailaccount of the trail of a boy named met M’Garrie, between thirteen and arteen years old, for the murder of mes M’Cull, a boy nine years of age, October last, in the township of Garaixr, Canada. According to the evi- ■ nee the murder was most deliberate s d inhuman. Having had a quarrel th the boy M’Cull, he enticed him into 3 woods to get apples, and when there - beat him with a stick, and afterwards i- ?k a piece of a proken bottle, cut his roat with it, and inflicted gashes and io ts all over his body. He then stripped it j body, bid it between two logs, and, of th the clothes tied up in a bundle, left :h (scene. When questioned by M’Cull’s j 10 her he denied the murder, but after-j 11 rds confessed it, giving its horrible 1 n. ails. He eecapep the vigilenee of the of;v srs for two weeks but was subsequently Mured. After the evidence was heard, it- ! Jury, having retired a few minutes, ve a verdict of guilty of willful murder, mt -h a recommendation to mercy. The' 06, dge, before passing sentence, asked the | e/r yif he ha,d anything to say why the ! id Hence of death should not be passed! i\ m him, who replied. ‘I say they’ve the ore to a lie. Old Scott says he gave §5, and he did not.’ He then sen ced him to suffer death by hanging on 11th day of April next, stating that >m- would lay the whole facts before the re ecutivc, but expressed the opinion that er, re was no hope of mercy from that jd iirter. on account of the horrible nature tniis crime. During the whole trial the evil toner exhibited no signs of sensibility, I received the sentence with an air of on ous and careless indifference. 1 j T 111 OREGON. ,h a , ~ )ur latest dates from this Territory to the 26th February.
