WILLIAM JONES FOUND GUILTY
OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DE-
GREE MOTION FOR A NEW
TRIAL.

The following is from the correspond
ence Of the Pittsburgh Gazette, dated al
Washington, Pa, 24ub:-
When the bells rung for the me, Ting o.

general rush on the part of our citizen;
of all classes TO the Court room took place
in consequence of the rumor which bad
become rife in the streets during the recess
that the jury in the case of Jones, agreed
upon verdict. Immediately after the
meeting of the Court, the jury were
brought into the bar by the officers hav-
ing them in charge. His Honor, Judge
Gilmore having ascertained that they
were ready TO render their verdict, order
ed Jones to be brought up. AS some lit
tie time necessarily elapsed before the pris
oner made his appearance, the vast crowC
in attendance waited his arrival will
breathless silence; all present carefully
scruiinizing the countenances ofthe twelve
good men and true" who had given tc
the case seventy,five hours of anxious and
prayerful deliberation. Their careworu
appearance, and the air of solemnity with
which they took their places in the box
foreshadowed the awful doom they werC
about to pronounce upon the accused. II
short time the prisoner appeared il
charge of Sheriff Bruce, and Mr.. Aiken,
the Clerk, having called over the names o
the jnry, and prOpounded the usual ques
tions, the foreman of the jury, Mr.. Hart
arose in bis place, and with much feeling
announced that they had found the Pris
oner "GUILTY OF MURDER IN TIE FRS
DEaREE." .
At the request OF Mr.. Hopkins, one o
the counsel Tor the prisoner, the jury wa
then pOIled, when each juror responded 70
himself"eUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FRS
DEGREE"
During the progress of this grave anC
solemn ceremony the vast assemblsg
stood in breathless silence. The prisone
bore it all with calm composure and exhib
ited not the slightest susceptible emotion
Indeed hom bis demeauor one would hard
y suppose that be appreciated the dread
fu situation in which he was placed.
Mr. Hopkins gave notice of . motiol
for new trial and stated that he woulC
file his reasons at another time.
The prisoner was then remanded I,

EEIt has been remarked for more
than two thousand years. that in times ol
great distress such as result from the raw.
ages Of desolating war or deadly pestilence,
men becomes reckless of their moral obi
cations, aud rush into all sorts of criminal
excuses. Lust, drunkenness, robbery and
murder are the usual concomitants ofsuch
periods. The lawessness and crime, the
utter absence Of kindly human sympathy,
the wild reckless revelry that characterized
the Athenians during the dreadful plague
that ragged in their city, are dwelt upou by
Thucydides with force and WvidBess OIL
description that no reader of his history
can never forget. Instead of becoming
penitents, and reforming their lives, men
seemed to be transformed to demons
The same was true Of the plague in Flor.
ence so graphically described by Boccaccio
in his DecameIon; and down to our own
time such as has been the experience Of
the world. Paris was never gayer than
during the terrible rayages of the cholera,
iu 1882, Let us be merry. for tomorrow
we may die, was apparently the sentiment
that animated the hearts of the Masses
Crime, too, was rifer than war. The NOR
al philosopher may be able to account for
this trait in the human character. indeed
we think it not difficult to do so; but our
object is rather to state facts than to spec
ulate upon them, or attempt any explana
tions.
There seems, also. to be connection
between pecuniary disasters and the deyel,
opment of crime. The two may be mere
" coincident, but they are SO invariably
coincident, one can hardly refuse to con.
slider them as cause aud effect. There are
moral as we'll rs physical epidemics, and
the former is now upon us. What an out
burst of crime there has been in Great
Britain within the last two years. We do
not allude to ordinary chimes, such as lar
cenies, burglaries, &C., but TO violent
crimes like stabbings, poisonings, DC, for
centuries almost unknown in England, and
indicative o! a very dispsmpered and de-
PRAYED moral sentiment. In our own
country it is almost painful to take up a
newspaper, so full are the journals of rec
ords of atrocities perpetrated, in many in'
stances, seemingly without motives. In
the case of the Burdell murder possible
motive can be imagined; but for many oI
the murderers that have since occurred, nc
motive can be assigned, No robbery was
committed. There was no ancient hatred
or quarrel between the parties. There was
not even an acquaintance between them
Men killed for the sake Of killing, as if in
stigated by an uugovernable forOcity and
thirst for blood, like wild beasts, or Ma
lays, drunk with bang and arrack, and
stunning a muck, Page after page oI
the New York papers is devoted to &C.
counts Of these atrocities. They are
frightful reading. Embezzlements, for
geries and adulteries swell the catalogue

norant, but invading wealthy and educa'
