TERRIBLE INDICTMENT.

OF SINN FEIN MURDERERS. “A HELLISH CRIME London, March 13.—Mtr Justice Wilson has delivered a remarkable judgment at the Armagh Assizes, relating to a compensation claim arising out of the murder of John Cosgrove by Sinn Feiners last June. Hi© Honour said he had never heard of a more hellish or devilish crime. The Sinn Feiner s murdered O’Hanlon as a supposed spy, and then, because Cosgrove, who was O’Hanlon’s cousin, lifted and washed th© body, the Sinn Feiners forced him to bid adieu to his wife and family, and shot him in cold blood outside hi s house. Even the Jews and Romans had not insulted the divine women who washed Christ’® body. The murder of Cosgrove was carried out in a spirit of malice that sprang from a bottomless hell, and called to Heaven for revenge. Unless the spiritual leaders of the people denounced such crimes, their palaces and temple® would become the abode of foxes and owls. If he had the power, he would make the perpetrators and their children to the fourth generation serfs to Cosgrove’s widow and her descendants. In conclusion, he increased the amount of compensation from £1530 to £1750.
