AFFECTING INCIDENTAL Swiss gentleman,
possessed of a property of eight OF ten thou
sand dollars, who recently arrived in New
York, was soon after found murdered. Sus-
picion fell on two young men his nephews,
who had been his fellow passengers from Eu-
rope, ard were presumptive heirs to his es-
tate. They have been tried, and were not
only acquitted, but every doubt Of their inno-
cence was removed, The ". I. american
thus notices their acquittal, aud their meeting
with their sister Immediately subsequent TO
it,
After the testimony for the defence was
gone through, the District Attorney, on the
suggestion Of the prisoners counsel. declined
to sum up the case, the jury without leaving
their seats acquitted the prisoners, and the
Court addressing them in very ceiling and
becoming manner, declared their entire sense
of their innocence, and their willingness to
grant them certificate, that no circumstance
alculated to cast the slightest shade upon
their character had been left unexplained By
them-in which offer the jury united.
The meeting of the prisoners after their
discharge, with their sister, who had steadily
watched the progress of the trial, and, like a
second JEANNE Deans, stood by them through
good and through evil, was of the most affect
ing character. When her brothers. honora-
bly, acquitted, left the prisoners box, and
walked forth into the Hall, reinstated in their
integrity, she rushed into their arms, and
there, strained to each others breasts, they
wept long and loud. Even eyes unused to
weeping, mingled in these holy tears-and
they, who by their skill and assiduity, had
contributed to this result, must have found in
the emotions Of their own hearts, at that mo-
ment, the richest and most enviable reward
of their exerlioEs.
