A~BDUcrING A bAwYER.-Tbe Houston
Telegraph gives an account Of an attenp
to "run of a lawyer named Hinton, in tht
town of Crockett. Mr.. Hinton had don,
nothing to speak of-only killed a sheriff
in Alabama, about two years ago an
the two m"n who tried to ablrct him were
for delivering him to the hands Of justice
in that State induced, probably, by tkt
offer of some reward for his apprehension
> The account says =
They seized him as he was coming GU
: of his Office, and took him to the edge 0
the town, where they bad horses waiting
and started off On the road to N~acogioches
probably, intending to proceed with hin
to Alabama by way of the Red River. 4
r few hours after they were gone, a party o
foar men from Crockett went in pursuit o
) the strangers, overlook them, and released
) MIR. Hinton. We doubt whether the citi
zens of any other town in Texas woulC
make similar exertions to restore a ma
! who was known to be a murderer, to thei
homes; but il is questionable whether il
this instance they have not performed q
t duty which each cit zen owes to the com

of Mr.. Hinton CANE as thieves to kidnaJ
