HORRIBLE BARBABTrY.-The Southern watchman
Published at Athens, Ca, Of the 22d ult. narrates
the particuars-as disclosed in the trial before the
Supreme Court at Walton-of one of the most inhu-
man and outrageous acts which has ever transpired
in civilized community. 1t is really amazing that
such villany could be perpetrated sworn by the
witnesses for so long period, without subectng the
offender to the vengeance of the community, or
rather without prompting the interference OF bis
neighbors in behalf the wretched victim of such
fendish cruelty The facts as condensed by the
Watchman, are as follows
man named Thomas Kelly, or OKelly was ar.
raigned for the murder of his wife, who was found
dead (frozen it is said) in her place of confinement
during the extraordinary cold weather of 1856 The
deceased it is alleged at least partially deranged
and had been confined a number Of years, eleven OF
twelve we believs-fve in 0glethorpe, and seven
perhaps, in Walton. 1t was proven that her place oil
confinement consisted of pen constructed of poles
notched at the corners and covered with capboarls
In this was hole ten by four inches some four OF
five feet from the ground, with shelf inside upon
which was placed her food in old iron ftying-pan
which was also used urinal without ever being
washed! Her food, some Of the witnesses testified
was promiscuonsy mixed together u this pan-boiled
bacon, collards' and milk being frequently mixed
together Many of the witnesses testified that the
chnks or cracks between the poles of this den were
open-there never was any fire in it-no he'd or bed

and always nearly so In this den she languished
seven years, until relieved by death from her horrible
sufierings. One cold morning that winter she was
found upon her hands and knees at the door. naked

there is reason to believe that starvation well
