anything to wound the feelings Of those political friends
who have been unable to give their assent to ali the pro

serted by the measure Of banshng the slavery ques

sttuti0n, and the decision of the people Of the
several State, and Territories. As the right to i'm
Port slaves has long since ceased, II Is evident
that allowing those have to be dispersed over wider

Upon the discovery Of the body, Daum was
arrested, and his trial, which was very long
and arduous, in consequence Of the necessity Of
taking all the evidence through Interpreters
was had before the Hon. Charles W. Whpple,
at the Circuit Court for the County Of Lapeer.
in March, 1910. The principal counsel en-
gagged in the cause were Hon. Peter Morey,
then Attorney General, Hon A. H. Hanscom,
Hon. t. J. Drake, Hon. E. II. Thompson and
George w. Winser, Esq
During the twelve days occupied by the trial
the prisoner Daun remained mpassive and un-
moved throughout, except when, upon permis-
sion being granted by the Court, the bones of
the murdered man, which had been wired To-
gether and placed under covered table, were
suddenly drawn out at the very feet of the pris-
oner, when deathy paleness overspIead his
face, and a strong and involuntary shudder
passed through his frame.
The evidence, as may be gathered from the
foregoing SKETCH was entirely circumstantial,
there being no direct testimony whereby to
connect the prisoner with the death of Ulrich
and the jury found themselves unwilling 10
convict; and giving the unhappy prisoner the
benefit of the slight doubt by which the occur
renee was surrounded, brought in, after a
lengthy consultation, verdict of NOT GUILTY.
The prisoner left the court house amid a
deep and thrilling silence, and was never more
seen in Lapeer county.-DetrOH (Michgan)
