Wentworth, June 27. —Jailor 1 Martin has received in the county I) prison Bill Cheshire a well known i well digger and William John- 1 son, who has recently served time on the county convict force,. two white men, charged with ( one of the most cruel and inhu- ] man deeds in the catalogue of i crime—that of trying to burn | alive a human being. ' It seems that Will Davis. Bill j Cheshire, William Johnson and ] Davis says three other men con- \ tributed to purchase a gallon of mean corn whiskey and after I securing the same the parties i gathered at a select spot, near 1 the head gate of the Spray can- i al. at which to drink their "hell's \ broth." It was not long before dispute I arose as to Cheshire drinking 1 more than his rightful share of 1 the contents of the jug. Will Davis struck one of the party, 1 whereupon the crowd seized Davis and putting him in a 1 watchman's house, which stood on the bank of the canal, they barricaded the door and pro ceeded to set fire to the house. Davis screamed and cried and begged for life, piteously im ploring them not to burn him alive, but the inhuman and , cowardly wretches, it is alleged, I turned deaf ears to the cries of the suffering man until the house was nearly consumed by the fire. Then they released Davis and pitched him into the canal, 1 evidently expecting him to drown i but there was a pipe in the canal and Davis threw his arm I around the pipe, thus saving himself from a watery grave, i The drunken party immediately' | left the scene, thinking Davis had been effectually disposed of but not so; Davis crawled out on the canal bank and quickly i raised the alarm, secured the I necessary assistance to reach' his home and sent for physicians. 1 who found him in a horrible I condition. The flesh on his j back was burned to the thick- j ness of half an inch; his limbs i almost burned to a crisp and his j sufferings were terrible in their intensity of pain. Warrants were issued at once j by Justice Amburn and Manly, 1 and Bill Cheshire and William Johnson were arrested and car ried before Davis and in a I crowd of other men and Davis, unhesitatingly pointed oyt and j completely indentified Cheshire i and Johnson as being two of the j five who committed the horrible | crime. The defendants did not put ; on the stand a single witness. There was some talk of proving alibis, but the proof did not mat erialize.
