Barber Jon- s, Lynched for Killing Bar ber Westerfield—Murdered Be cause She Wo'dn’t Elope. THE MOST COMPLETE -LINE‘OF- BOOTS & INT j fnrfrT*i ATHENS, IS AT St. Louis, Dec. 20.—A story of bar barous torture is told by the children of George H. Guenther, who was killed yesterday by his eighteen-year-old son, The story was corroborated by the police, and columns were written about the mattei in 1884. Guenther had a chamber of horrors in his house, in which he chained up his children naked, to posts, boys and girls alike, and tor tured them in a horrible manner. Chas. Guenther’s story is corroborated by his married sister, and both say the boy Emil suffered in the same way. Charles Guenther sain: “1 left home after one period of slow torture that made me desperate. It was in 1834, and after 1 ran away ar.d when the facts came out the whole thing was printed in the newspapers. I had done something my lather did not like. In fact, it was rarely that any of us could do anything he did like. It was a small offence, but the way my father tortured me would have made any one believe that he was crazy, or that I had com mitted some terrible crime. My father was stronger than I then, and whan h« announced that he was going to punish me, and commanded me to go with him 1 had to obey. “He made me go up stairs with hint to a room in the bauk part of the house that was seldom used. He shoved nte In, and came in himself and locked tin door behind Lim. Then he brought out the chains, and when I caught sight ot Xhetn I set up an outcry that must have almost cleaved the ceilings, but no one heard me, or if they did they were afraid to come to me. My father shout ed to me to stop that infernal noise. Then he began to bind me with the chains. Heputthemon my hands ami bound my feet with them. I thought hi had finished then, but,taking up anoth er one, he fastened it around my neck and fixed it so that I conld hardly move my head. Then he left me. -1 suffered fiendish tortures then, bui I was compelled to submit to more, ter a few hours l heard him coming uy the stairs agaiu. He opened : the door and when he stepped inside I noticei he had a bottle of whisky in his hand He released me from the chains arui compelled me to strip from head to fooi until I stood nude before him. “Then he chained me up. He took a goodsized pin and began pricking me with it from head to foot, until 1 wa bleeding all over. Then he took th whisky bottle and held it for a while leaving me to surmise what he intended doing, and increasing my a.nguisl dpubly by the anticipation of the totur< to which I was subjected. Then un father wet his finger from the bottle am rubbed" over wh&t seemed r< me every sore he had math on my body. He did not rub it all ove my body at once, but would rub over small space, until all the stufl' had beei rubbed in, when he would wet his fin ger again and begin on another place The pain was terrible. 1 must haw fainted from it. I think, for 1 remainet in that room all night, chained up, am didn’t know anything until the nexi morning, when my sister released me. “I was laid up for three days, and then ran away and told the police, and told the police, and he was arrested.” £ The boy Emil ran away when 15 years old, three years ago, returned home yes terday and brained his father with a hatchet.
