tice by those who witnessed the
circumstances that led to it.
Tie small boys had a bonfire
and circled around it, enjoying
their juvenile sports. Michiel
Bryne, aged eighteen and the
bully boy of the neighborhood,
came up and began kicking and
cuffing the little fellows, knock-
ing them down and laughing at
their helplessness in his hands.
He got hold of Chauncy St. Mar-
tin, aged thirteen,and beat him
unmercifully. At length Brvno
told St. Martin h * would let him
alone for three cents. The lit-
tle fellow paid the money to his
tormentor, who thereupon de-
manded another cert, in failure
of which he threatened to throw
St. Martin iu the tire. The boy
threw the penny on the grouua,
and walked on cry ing towards
his home, which was a square
away. Bryne followed him,
abusing him all the way to the
doorstep, when St. Martin drew
his pocaet knife and stabbed
Bryne to the heart. He fell, and
