We gave yesterday brief announcement Of
the Montague trinl. As it is II matter OF much
interest in this community, we suhuin a more
detailed account from the SO til Side Democrat:
The jury was again cnt To their box to tonSid-
or of their verdict in the case of Montague
After remaining out forty minutes. n knock was
heard AT the duor, oi The Jury room. pen and ink
were handed them, and in moment more. they
came from the room with their verdict
Their names were called, and it appearing
that all were prescntthe prisoner was command
ed to rise, which he did apparently with dilic, !.
ty. The jury were ordered to hook upon the
prisoner, and the clerk asked them if tfcv had
agreed dpnn their verdict. The foreman repliel
yes, and handed the clerk the verdict. The ex
ctement was now bee aing painful aud every one
seemed to hold his breath that he might catch
every syllable and letter of the little scrip in the
hands "t the clerk, who read rs follows.
I'VE, IA jury, find the prisoner at the bar,
Lewis Montague, Nor GUILTY.
JOHN GoopE, Jr., Foreman.
This announcement was followed ny burst of
applause, which was instantly CHI Oh ed Inv the
court, who ordered the sheriff to arrest any who
should be found making these demonstrations of
qualification.
The prisoner was most deeply affected Sit.
ting down. he buried his face in his hands and
wept for joy.
The verdict was recorded and read TO the Jury
who pronounced that they were all agreed, aud
after the usual proclamation by the sheriff. the
court declared the prisoner acquitted, aml ~ der
ed his release. Scores of his friends pressed a.
round him with their Fluctuations nn he favora
BILE termination ofhiS trial and after shakiug
hands with great number he was carried, al
most exhausted, to the carriage of a friend who
drove him rapidly home
1t may interest our readers to hear that the
jury stood at first. for ocqnitta and ) for pun
ish nent "f some descriptions but that the latter
eventually yielded. We give this only as a ru-
NOR, though from the best authority.
