The affair was reported to the commander of Mexican troops at Parrai, who immcdi.'itely started a detachment of 100 men to the scene. Last Wednesday the rroops were assaulted by the natives, and the troops retreated, leaving half of their number dead and wounded or,the battleground.

HYPNOTISM IN COURT.
A IJying Woman's Statement Taken While Under Its Iniluence. I
ANDERSON, Ind., May 20.—A scene, believed to be without parallel, was enacted here yesterday. A judge of the circuit court, attended by the court stenographer, took down the statement of a dying woman under the influence of hypnotism. Should the judge accept the statements as true, they will cut a great ligure in a murder mystery.
George Hires was sentenced by Judge Ellison to i:3 years 111 the penitentiary 011 conviction of the murder of William Foust July last. The principal witness against him was Maggie Bolton. After the trial she confessed that her testimony was false and that she herself had done the deed.
Dr. J. B. Callen, who claims to have hypnotic power, was granted permission to place the woman in the hypnotic state to ascertain which of her statements was the correct one. Yesterday Judge Ellison, the official court stenographer, and Dr. Callen went to the hospital where Mrs. Bolton is said to be on her deathbed from consumption, and in the presence of these witnesses soon had the woman in the hypnotic state.
Mrs. Bolton spoke in a loud, clear tone, though heretofore 011 account of her weakness she was scarcely able to whisper. Mrs. Bolton seemed to livre again the night of the crime, and in forceful manner she recounted the details of the crime. Mrs. Bolton said the shot that killed Foust was tired by Hires. Her confession that she had dime the deed was extorted from her by Hires, who said the authorities suspected her son. She then shouldered the crime to shield her son. After ciie had been brought- out of the cataleptic state she diu not remember anything of what she had just told.
Judge Ellison was greatly impressed, but. he declined to slate what effect it
would have on his ruling in the case. A motion for a new trial for Hires is pendiug.

THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.
Retribution Swiftly follows a Horrible
Crime in Florida.
ST. LOUIS, May 20.—A special from Ellaville. Fla., to the Republic says: Three negioes were lynched Saturday night in a dense swamp on the Suwanee river by white men for assaultin white girl, It is
reported' that they
being subjected to frightful tortures The crime for which the negroes were go horribly put to death was one of the most terrible in the history of this section of Florida. The scene of the crime and retribution was in Lafayette, the adjoining county fo Madison 011 the south. Miss Mamie Armstrong, the beautiful daughter of a prominent Lafayette county farmer, left her home five days ago to spend the night with a neighbor who lived two miles distant.
The next day Miss Armstrong's father went to the house to bring her home and was alarmed to hear that nothing had been seen of her. Mr. Armstrong alarmed the neighbors and a search was made. The woods were scoured and the Suwanee river dragged. Finally, about midway between the home of Mr. Armstrong and the neighbor's house, the handkerchief of the girl was found clinging to a bush and all around were evidences of a desperate struggle.
The searchers followed the trail thus indicated, finding all along that the girl had been dragged into t-lie woods. After proceeding for a mile the corpse of Miss Armstrong was found ill a thick clump of bushes. The body of the girl was in a horrible condition. Every shred of clothing had been torn from it and she had been assaulted, her head crushed and her throat cut. It was evident that the girl had made a desperate fight, for under her nails were found pieces of black cuticle, which she had torn from her assailants.
Sam Echols was suspected and threatened with instant death unless he confessed. He did so, and implicated Sam Crowley and John Brooks. Echols said they kept the girl for 24 hours before 1 killing her, forcing her in the meanwhile to repeatedly submit to the most horrible indignities. For the greater part of the time, the negro said, Miss Armstrong was unconscious.
Having secured the negroes implicated by Echols, the white men proceeded with the three fiends to a dense swamp 011 the Suwanee river, wnere they were made to suffer all manners of torture.
The white people are thoroughly aroused and swear that they will exterminate the negroes if these outrages aro continued. •Similar Occurrence in Alabama.
MONTGOMKUY, Ala., May 20.—About a month ago .Jerido Shivers and two other negro men enticed thres young daughters of a white farmer away from home in Coffee county aud detained them in the woods for a week. The girls finally made their way home again, but the rascals who led them off could not be found, in spite of diligent 1 search being made for them.
Saturday night, however, it was learned that Shivers was in a certain house near Tabernacle, in that county, I
