First District COurt-Judge Howe.
This tribunal was yesterday devoted to
the trying of Ammy Burlington, a Colored
man about thirty or thirty.fvo years old,
for having ravished a young white girl
named Elizabeth Kilian, whose age at the
time was only fourteen years the day after
the awful deed that forever blasted her as a
girl or woman. The horrible transaction
occurred ON the lst of July, 1867, in an out.
house on the premises Of c. A. Miltenber-
ger, corner of Third and st, Charles streets.
Elizabeth, who is the child of German pa
rents, was on the day in question on Apollo
street, near Third, peddling eggs, and was
hailed by the accused, who said lie wished
some eggs, and inveigled her to the rear ol
the house in hay lott, where he commenced
by tYing her limbs with rope, having
thrown her down, and finally forcibly filling
her mouth with large wadding ofpaper to
gag her, holding knife against her flesh,
at the same time threatening her life, while
her limbs and arms were tied by cords. Oi
course the main testimony given was by
, Elizabeth herself, who in aplain, convincing
manner told the particulars of what trans
pired between her and the prisoner.
FTImmediately on being relieved from the
fellows presence, he being compelled t.
leave by hearing some one in the yard cal
him, she released herself by gnawlng the
cords binding her wrists, and then lifting
the hay and boards from the passage way
as best she could in her suffering condition
succeeded in reaching the street and thence
going home. Having complained to hel
father of the wrong inflicted on her, theJ
then made an affidavit before Recorder
; Vennard, and DR.. Nichols was called tC
make an investigation to learn, officially
what physical harm she had suffered. Ht
testified that the poor girl had beer
ravished, as the indications of severe wound
were positive and very recent The chile
up to this day is almost an invalid from the
effects Of the assault
The prisoner made scarce an effort IN de
, tense, and the three witnesses placed on th'
! stand for him knew nothin of the case. 1'

, cept that his color is somewhat cOpperlsh
and his cheek bones rather prominent, anC

anger, and had not Attorney General Lynci
