When this story was made known throug'b.out the village the greatest ex· citement prevailed. A crowd of twenty· five men gathered and deoid'ed npon seeking out Groves and giving him summary jnstice. They proceeded in a body up the mountain and captured bim in the woods. They then took bun into a deep depression between two lofty hills. In that lonely valel.by the ligbt of the moon stmgl1ling through a heavy mist, the infuna� miners 8Xeouted the sentenee they pro nounoed against him, whiab was that he al.ould die. His eyes were bandaged nnd his hands bound behind him, and then he was hanged to the limb of a ohestnut tree and left there until he was dead. He W68 afterward buried near the hut where he had lived for years. The outrage on the Davis girl was not Groves' 1I.rst orime of that natUle.

Then, in the middle of the night, when all the luggage had been safely looked up, he would get out of his own box, and deliberately. and at his leisure, open all the trunks which he found around him. He would have plenty of time for this purpose, and he had about him duplicates of all the keys employ ed by trunk-makera,llo that bll ooUId open whatever he liked. He never took too muoh out of anyone box, or robbed from more than one box of the same party, but went impartially col· leoting whatever W68 moat valnable and least likely to be traced.
