From the Atlanta Georgia. intsliigsnssr.
In the recent trial Of the parties charged
with the murder Of Captain J. +. Gruber,
Mr.. Tully, one Of the counsel for the de-.
fence, narrated the following story:
The whole case was made up of circum-
stantial evidence Of the loosest character,
and to illustrate how guardedly even the
best and strongest circumstantial evidence
must be taken, he referred to trial that
took place in this very court about thirty
years ago,
Judge Canonge then presided In the
court, and Mr.. Muzurean was the attorney
general. There then lived on the Bayou
road o man about IS or 80 years old. He
was not an educated nor wealthy man,
but he was honest, and had good heart.
Having had limb broken, he was very in.
firm in health. He made his livelihood by
going to the Bayou st. John every evening
and catching fish to sell in the market the
next morning. One moonlight night, while
sitting on the bayou fishing as usual, he
saw lady dressed in white, in company
with gentleman, walking on the road be-
side the bayou. They were quarrelling as
they passed him, and his attention was at
tracted by hearing them quarrel.
After they passed, he resumed his fish,
ing, and waited until he had caught his
usual supply. He then started home with
his basket. As he reached the place known
as the " CoQuet /" he heard loud cry, and
soon after feeble cry. Advancing in the
direction of the sound, he saw woman in
q white gown lying on the pavement, and
coming to the woman, he perceived that
dagger had been stabbed into her bosom.
Thinking to relieve her, he took the dag
ger by the handle, and drew it out. As he
did so, q Waterman grasped him. The
woman was killed.
The poor fisherman was tried for the
murder. The case was made out clearly
against him. He had been detected in the
very act, bending over the body Of the
deceased with the weapon in his hand. He
was convicted, and was hung at Congo
Square. About six months after, trial
was going on in Judge Cononge's Court.
A citizen called as juror said he did not
wish to be on the jury, and wished to speak
a few words to the judge. The Judge al
lowed him private conversation. Sup
posing that he might have scruples about
capital punishment, the Judge asked him If
that was the reason he objected to being
on the jury. "No," he answered, "that
is not the reason. / saw the fisherman
hung for the murder Of my wife. He did
not do it. / killed her myself, from jea-
lousy" The Judge sat petrified. The man
made for the door, escaped, and has never
been heard of since.
