CRIMINAL COURT, Judge Wylie-Yesterda day
afternoon, Aquiila r. Allen was placed on trial
tor an assault and battery on Caleb Mitchell,
the keeper of house on f street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. 1t was
proved that this house was the resort of thieves
and other bad characters, and that the defend
ant, who is a county constable and detective,
suspecting that the persons who had robbed
MIR. Hooyer's house of a large sum of money
were in Mitchells house, proceeded to the
house with military guard TO make search,
without having written warrant for that pur-
pose. A large crowd of persons were found
there drinking and gambling, who on the
appearance OF the officer and guard, made their
escape through the windows and back DOORS
Allen not finding the objects Of his search,
went up stairs and knocked at the door Of
Mitchell's private reom. No answer being
made he knocked open the door, when resist
ance was offered by Mitchell. Allen seized
NJ by the collar and handled him very roughly,
whilst in the melee he (A.) received black
eye from Mitchell.
Judge Wylie instructed the jury that the
principle that a sman's house was his CASTLE"
ought not to be used to protect any place noto-
riously the resort Of thieves, gamblers and
telons; that constable was an officer of the
property and peace, by night and by day; that
he has the right to enter any place such as the
evidence showed this house TO be, without
warrant and arrest the inmates even on sus-
picion; and that If the constable acted in good
faith, and with an honest purpose to prevent
crime or arrest offenders, the law would pro-
tect him, even if it should turn out that he was
mistaken as to the guilt OF persons arrested.
Judge w. further told the jury that persons
who kept houses of the character OF this one
were pests OF society, corrupting its morals,
and spreading both physical and moral des-
oIation around them. That it was a disgrace
for young men who might be OF service to their
country by assisting in its defence or BY fol-
lowing some useful occupation, to be found
keeping drinking and gambling house, the
resort of felons and evil characters; and that
$has~ lain
against officers OF the law as though they were
honest and useful citizens; that it was the duty
of every good citizen, whether in his private
character or public conduct to let it be known
that he recognises and acts upon wide dis
tinction between virtue and vice, between the
good and the evil members of society.
The jury rendered q verdict OF not guilty, In
a very few minutes.
Charles Davis, indicted for an assault and
battery on barkeeper in the First Ward, was
found not guilty.

quently interrupted by applause.
He said that in the beginning he was opposed
TO the war. He desired to put it off if possible.
If that was . weakness there was a warra mt
for it in the character of him who died to save
the world. He desired the cup to pass from Him
If his Heavenly Father pleased. If not, then
he would accept it.
He waited until the war was made, not by us
against our brethren OF the South, but by our
brethren OF the South against us. Self-defence,
this no nation could perish. He waited TO re-
ceiye the war, not to make it.
No nation sould be saved without sacrifices.
If he could not save the country, he was here
at the expense OF all ne held dear, to be buried
in its ruins.
He said, "If fall. let me fall in the public
streets, and be buried under the pavement, and
let the assassins Of my country's liberty tread
upon me, until there arises from my country
some avenger to restore the liberty of my ma
tive land" ~

Muscatine weekly journal. [volume] (Muscatine, Iowa) 185?-1890, 1863-12-04

~ The Courier, true to its instincts,
is striving to stir up opposition to the draft in
this county by declaring that it "comes
heavier upon Muscatine than any other coun-
ty in the State" One plain, simple fact,
which we supposed everybody understood,
sets this falsehood to rest namely The
number of men to be drafted in each county is
in proportion to the number enrolled. 1t can.
not, therefore, be heavier in one county than
in another. 1t is a fact that Muscatne has fur.
nished more volunteers in proportion to her
population than any other county in the
State, but it is not true that she is required
to furnish more men in proportion to the
number enrolled than any other county. The
quota of Scott county, which the Courier
cites, is 401-nearly double that of Musca-
tine. Her population is only about one-third
larger.
If there should be violence and bloodshed
in this county in consequence Of the draft,
the responsibility will rest with the Courier,
which Is endeavoring to poison the minds of
its ignorant followers with falseh sods like the
one We have just refuted.
