NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CASE.


Mrs. Burgett represented as one Of the
most fashionable ladies in Chicago, was re-
ceRtly arrested for shoplifting, her elegant
house being filed with costly dry goods,
which she had stolen and secreted.
The case excited profound interest from
the standing and surroundings of Mrs. Bur-
gett. She was promptly tried and convict
ed Of grand larceny, and sentenced to the
peniientiary. She al lirst positively re-
fused to go before the court, and to avoid
being taken by force. she deliberately re-
tired to bed in her cell. She finally con-
sented to go in, after the rest of the pri-
soners had been sentenced aud removed.
She was clad in deep mourning for the
death other husband. The Tribune gives
the following report Of the sentence:
She wore no ornaments, save Two or three
plain gold rings, and presented sad con-
trast TO her former elegant state. After
she had taken chair she raised her veil.
Her features were sad and careworn, and
she seemed TO have grown old rapidly
within the past few weeks. She was bow
ed down, and sunk into her chair, deeply
agitated. and trembling 50 violently that
she could hardly maintain her seat. The
clerk Of the court handed her a glass OF
water, which she drank with difficulty.
Mr.. Asay, her counsel, rose and said !.
" Your honor knows that the property Of
| this unfortunate lady is scattered about,
and would request favor, which is al
lowed By The iaw,stllat the time within

EDWARD EvEREr7's Son. At the
Union Society in Cambridge College,
England, there was recently a public
debate on American affairs, in which
son of Lord john Russell and a Mr. Trc-
velyan spoke against the Union cause,
and in support of the Rebellion. A son
of Edward Everett, who is student at
Cambridge, followed in defense of his
country and Government, and an Eng
lish clergyman who participated in the
debate writes: "After him got up young
Everett edward Everett's sony, who, by
the by, is considered one of the most
distinguished men in Cambridge, the
whole house against him, but perfectly
cool and collected He took Trevelyan's
speech to pieces, point by point, used
him up bit by bit, till the whole house
was slowly turned in his favor, and he
had it all his own way. 1t was a great
success, and marks him as one that will
surely distinguish himself sooner or later.
He will take his degree in January, and
will then, l think, come to America.
Look out for him."

Legislature of your State, by Judge Nib
lack, member of that body, in the
course of which the following paragraph
occurs:
"The class of men among us who shout
traitor the loudest, not the sensible gem
tlemen of the Republican party, the
gentlemen from Boone and Hendricks
always excepted, approved, for instance,
of tie Mcneil murders in Missouri, whel 70
ten citizens were executed because Of the
disappearance of an old man, who reap
peared a day or two after the inhuman
and most monStrous deed was done This
class of men, the scavengers and dirty
work doers of the Republican party the
gentleman from Boone and Hendricks
always excepted, approved of the Presi-
. dents emancipation proclamation and
of every act of tyranny and usurpation
by the Administration. These were the
men who shouted traitor all the time
against as good and as loyal men as there
were in Indiana These were the men
who would assault hen-roosts at midnight
but who would never risk their precious
bodies in defense Of their country's Con-
s;ituton and flag
Now, when Judge Niblack makes the
statement that "ten citizens were execu-
ted because of the disappearance of an
old man who re appeared a day or two
afterwards, he asserts what is grossly
false, either through malice or ignorance.
The story Of Alsman's return, got up by
the butternuts, has been contradicted
from this State upon the most reliable
authority That the old man Alsman,
of Palmyra, Marion county, ~vos hung
by the guerrillas, no man in this State
doubts; and no person .could be found
with hardihood enough to assert the con-
trary, or charge Gen. Mcneil with mur-
der for having discharged duty the
laws of war imposed upon him, but
:" men who would assault hen-roosts at
midnight" and hang gray haired men be-
cause they loved the Union.
The men shot by Gen. Mcneil had no
claim to the title of citizen-they were
traitors and murderers of innocent peo-
pie. They had taken the oath protesting
to be Union men, and were caught by
the General with arms in their hands
numbering citizens and soldiers, and they
met the fate they deserved. This, your
representative, Judge Niblack, calls an
"inhuman and most monstrous deed"
How much would The Judge increase the
price offered by JEFF. Davis for the head
of Gen Mcneil for having committed
the monstrous deed " of shooting ten
murderers and traitors murderers of
those who risk "their bodies in defense
of their country's Constitution and flag?"

4 Perry County Man Encourages De-
sertiOn 50 Attempts Bribery Gets
into the Military Prison - Barely
Escapes Being Shot.

A man named Yates had a brother in
one of the hospitals of this city. By per-
mission of DIR. Fry he was allowed to
visit his brother and remain with him in
the hospital Here Yates improved his
time in inducing his brother to desert;
and finally, getting up some kind of a
hocus-pocus set of papers allowing him
to take his brother to hotel, he left the
hospital, accompanied by the object of
his anxiety. Instead of going to a hotel,
however, Yates took his brother to Perry
County, where, by false representations,
he procured certificates from two physi-
clans alleging the disability of his bro
ther, and with them returned to this city.
On his arrival here, he attempted to
bribe physicians in the hospitals with
money, in order to also procure a disa-
bility certificate from them. He even
approached DIR. Fry with money offers
for this purpose For all this DR.. Fry
ordered him under arrest, and he was
sent to the military prison at Louisville,
where, we believe, he was tried and was
about to be sentenced to be shot DR..
Fry, deeming his punishment sufficient
to learn him lesson which will not be
lost in the future, at this stage of the
proceedings interfered in his behalf, and
Yates will be released upon taking the
oath and giving bond His brother,
meantime, returned to the hospital in
this city, and is now under arrest for
desertion. Parents, relatives, and friends
of soldiers can give them no worse ad-
vice than to desert We believe all pe1-
sons advising desertions should receive
the severest punishment-Neao Albany
