'""S"' "" " IteOrath. Since (hat tims McUrath had abused tbe boy twice, an 1 thu several times professed the greatest friendship for him and invited the young man to his home. At one of the interviews, when Mctirath was abusing Charley, Mrs Mc i rath appeared on the scene and invited him to hei home, saying she owned It. McCirath got very nr gry and told her to go borne, that she was crazy. A mom li ago he told Willard Simmons be had nothing whatever ag.tlnst Turner. THE FATAL MOKMXO. Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock, a son or Mcurath came t Mr Som tnervIHe' place and wau'ei to borrow tome money, JJ0, for his father, who, he said, was goiu;; to San Francisco. MrS let him have it. While they were yet talking McUrath Sr, came in sight md the younger .Met; rath told Harvey not to tell him hi mission. McUrath 8r, came up aud wanted to know their conversation, wiieu he was told that it was about his sou intend ing to commence vork for him after the Fourth. McUrath then pulled out a letter which he claimed he had re ceived from San Francisco, and want ed Harvey to read It. At firt lie re fused, hnt finally consented. The let ter was poorly written and pretended to have came from a soldier boy. It stated lie had heard he was having trouble with Turner and hi wife; that he bad writteu Charley a letter to give him a scare; that he would soon come home and tlx up all matters. Then he told Mr Sommerville that he wanted to see Turuer a few minutes. He weut into the field where he was haying and the two men walk, doff together. He was seen to give the let ter to Charley and heard to commence abusing him. Ai.drew Sninggale beard Charlie tell him to go away that he want-d no trouble with him, and he repeated this again. After thla Spinggate noticed McUrath reach for Ids pistol and also noticed Turner start to run away from tho man, when, he drew the pistol and Sred striking Charley In the bask the ball lodging in the heart He never uttered a word after the fatal shot, falling on bis face and ouly breathed once or twice.
