A sINGULAK cAsE.

A Ne&rO Tried Three Times, Sentenced
20 Death Twice. Kept fn Jail Nearly
Three Years, and Vet 20 be Tried.
A very singular murder case has been
upon the docket Of the Criminal Court Of
this county for several years. In 1868, "a
negro was found dead on the Franklin
pike, near this city, with his head severed
from his body, and his pockets emptied Of
a considerable amount Of money which he
had been known 10 have about him. A
vicious negro, named Zach Boyd, was az
rested for the murder and tried in the Grim
inal Court, where he was found guilty. A
new trial was granted him, but he was
again found guilty, and the Judge sen-
fenced him 10 be hanged. The case was
appealed 10 the Supreme Court, the sem
tence reversed, and Zach sent back for an
other hearing. A third trial resulted in
his third conviction, and he was again SEN
fenced to be hanged. Again the case was
appealed, and again the Supreme Court re-
versed the decision Of the inferior tribunal,
and Zach was put in Jail again TO give the
Criminal Court another chance at him.
He has now been lying in Jail two years
and nine months, and will doubtless be
tried again during the session Of the Grim
insl Court, commencing next week. q
