One of the most horrible murders that has been known for some time took place last Taesday memiug in Little Bideau, about ten or twelve miles from Ottawa. The murderer is a mere boy, being only 17 years of age. The following is the DEPOSITION OF WILLIE COOEE one of the anfortanate family, who was badly wounded. Mr. Dartnell, Crown Attorney, and Mr. E. Johnston, county official, visit- ed the sick chamber yesterday. Willie Cnoke, although weak from loss of blood and ntrvous exhau@tion,wae able to giye in a clear am:, concise way the particulars of the terrible tragedy, sc far as he knew. His evidence is sub- stantially as follows â€" On Tuesday morning he was awakened by the cries of his brother, who occupied a bed in the same room as himself. He im- mediately sat up in the bed, when he boserved young Maun approaching hiir with an axe in his hand. He asked Mann what he meant, when the latter ran towards him, and raising the weapon aimed a blow at his head. He dodged in time to escape ine blow, when he received another in the thigh, which fractured his left leg. Finding that there was no means of grappling with the murdeous villain, armed as he was with such a deaiUy weapon, Le got under the bed. He experienced Home difficulty, as may well be imag- iued, in moving dexterously with a fractured limb, but he knew he had to make a bold struggle for life, and accomplished the feat just as Maun had raised the axe to strike him the third blow. Just as he was dropping out cf bed, however, the murderous weap- on was embedded again in his left leg, this time in the calf. Nothing daunt- ed he crawled under, the blood spurt- ing out of his painful wounds as freely fls water from a fountain. Acting on first impulse, he seized the villain, who was then standing close to the bed, by the bottom of the pants in hope of throwing him to the floor and dispossessing him of the axe. This be did not succeed in doing, but gradual- lygolj^up to the brute"s neck, and seiz- ed hiud by the throat. It was at this juncture that the two girlo came rush- ing into the room, havrjg been at- tracted by the moans of their brother George and the noise consequent upon the desperate struggle that was going on. Fannio was the first to advance With a nerve that would do credit to the bravest of the sterner sex, she lushed into the valley of the shadow of death "Stand back, or I'll brain yo"" SHOUTED THE 1NFURIA.TED VILLAIN, and his eyes flashed with a ferocity that almost made her succumb. Nei' ving lierself, however.for the occasion, ahe did not stand back, but rushed at iiira with the determination to do or die. Tiger- like, she fiirly leapod at him, and as she came within range was able to ayert the blow aimed at her head. Following this, however, came another, which took eftect in the tected m his terrible cnme, conceited the idea of EXTKBHINATING THE ENTTKE HOU8«HOIJ). Mrs. Cooke bears a mark on her fore- bead, and the probability is tbat Mann stunned her with a blow from some blunt instrument, and whilst lying urconscious on the floor removed the rope from the lifeless form of Emma and used it on her mother. Wben Mrs. Cooke's body was found the rope was tightly drawn around her neck and the end tied to the leg of a table, which stood in the centre ot the gran- ary. From here he appears to have traced his steps to a shed adjoining the barn, where Mr, Cooke was feed ing the swine. He must have come unto the old gentleman by surprise, and hacked his head to pieces. From there he made his way back to the bouse anrt went up the kitchen stairs to the room occupied by the boys, in- tending to get quietly rid of them. and leaving the two young ladies for the last. How well these inteations were thwarted, the brave conduct of the girls will explain. SERVICES VOLDNTEEBED. Sheriff Merrick will certainly ex- perience no difficulty in getting a man to execute the death sentence, for he had already several applications from well-known residents of both L'Orig- inal and Hawkesbury, who have ten- dered their services. One man said he would esteem it a threat favor to be copy of said report handed to the freasorer, the resignation of John CluKBton, as assessor for the year 1882, was accepted. By-law No. 325, fixing indemnity of coun- cil was caiiied through the different stages and passed.
