REMARKABLE CASE or CIRcUMsFAN-

interest has occurred in Monroe county,
Arkansas, which shows how strong cham
Of circumstances can arise against an m
nocent person. Two men named Fass-
more ana Lewis had RATS contiguous TO

capped from the raft Of P. and lodged In
The neighborho0d of that Of ~, who se-
cured it, and the former had the latter
arrested for stealing il, but he was acqult-
ted. Very naturally l. gave vent to some
hard words against u. The latter did
not resent them, but vowed his intention
To rive Il. IA hot bed in hell before three
days" A short time after, Passmore was
seen going in eancc toward Lewis raft,
armed with a double-barrelled shot gun
anl q bowie-knife- When about sufh-
cient time had elapsed for r. to reach LIS
raft, two discharges Of a gun were heard
Next day, Lewis was to deliver his raft at a
mill in Clarendon, close BY, but, as he did
nut do %, suspicious Of something wrong
we're excited, and number Of persons
went u where the raft had been, but il
Wa gone, and no traces Of anybody con

weeks after this period, man going up
The river found in some drift wood body
whose size and dressed answered de-
scription of LeEis's. The body had in il
buck-shot holes and stabs. Passmore
w. arrested and held in a heavy bail
Shortly after this, the steamer Sam Hale
arrived 1t Clarendon, and the pilot,
Bateman, and the captain, Dougherty,
cleared Passmore Of al suspicion by tes-
tifying that they had seen Lewis At Na-

ana that the boat had paid him money
that had been owing him Passmore was
