mony. There was no error. The next
objection s to I he Introduction of the
papers In the contest over the will of
the fat her of the deceased, which shows
that the prisoner was disinherited,
while the deceased was amply provid

to show the motive of the prisoner and

Rutherford B. Hayes la Dead.
A dispatch frota Fremont, nhln
dated Jan. 17th, says: "Ex-President
Hayes died at 11 o'clock to-night, but
the information of his death waa not
given out for some time later, as every
thing has been keDt exceedlnrslv m,ir
lathe vicinity of the Hayes mansloc.
The early report of his condition, that
tne ex-president waa Irnnrnvinrs niruii,
and renting easily, allayed all suspic
ious oi so sudden an announcement
as that by Webb Hayes, that his father
was aeaa."
The death of Ex-President Hayes
awes away the last but one ex-presl-deut,
Urover Cleveland being the only
one remalnlne. Mr. Have n a ri.
lant soldier, who refused to leave the
army to canvass for a seat In congress.
As a president he was generally re
spected, and upon the whule made a
good chief magistrate; but the shadow
of the doubt ef his title to the presiden
cy ever hung like a pall over bit ad
ministrationthe people believing
that Tllden was Justly entitled to the
place. Mr. Hayes' private and public
life was above reproach, he probably
having had nothing to do with the
theft of the office.
