Corrinne, Utah, April 14.—The Chinaman arrested on Monday, the 6th inst., on suspicion of having been implicated in the murder of Bornstein which occurred on the 5th, was yesterday proven beyond all doubt to have committed the deed unaided and alone. At two o’clock this P. M., while the officers were endeavoring to take the prisoner to Brigham City for safekeeping, the citizens en masse took him from the Marshal down to the railroad bridge one mile east of town and hung him from the trestle works. Thayer, a detective, and a Chinese interpreter, called from Denver especially to work the case up, brought about this end with great credit to himself and the community. Public wrath is appeased and quietness prevails again and the people are happy to feel rid of the murderer. He has killed two or three men before and is now known to have been one of the worst Chinese characters in this country.
