CURIOUS CRIMINAL CAsEs.-A curious
phase of the laws uncertainties was
witnessed in Dayton a day or two since,
when, to tho surprise of bench and bar,
two prisoners, Mrs. Warwick and John
Caldwell, arraigned in the Common
Pleas Court Of Montgomery County for
murder in the first degree, pleaded
Equity rs charged in the indictment"
Judges looked surprised, lawyers
oviuced uneasiness, as if such unprcce-
denied conduct in criminals must ruin
the profession, and as to tho spectators
who had assembled to enjoy (O the
trial, they were nonpluscd as we'll ms
disappointed. The prisoners were on
trial for different crimes, charged in
separate indictments, and the result
proved that they had less confidence in
making defense to a jury than in going
to the Supreme Court on the suticiency
of the indictments. Counsel in both
cases had discovered, or thought they
had discovered, defects in the indict-
ments, and took advantage of this fact,
expecting thereby to secure their clients
from further jeopardy, while they would
ut the Same time prevent execution Of
sentence under tho present plea. The
Dayton Journal, from which we gather
these facts, says "that it is also stated
three other Indictments Of the same
character will also be met by tho same
plea. II counsel are sustained it will
will greatly embarraSs the prosecuting
attorney" When the prosecuting at-
torney of a county like Montgomery
succeeds in 80 framing indictments as
to securc the immunity from punish
ment of five murdercrs Mt M term of
the Court, his constituents might think
il for their interest to send him to a law

How shc Had Him.

A gentleman pleasantly situated,
married and blessed with two daugh-
tiers, the pride of the neighborhood and
the parents Joy, would seem to have all
that was needed TO mako life cheerful,
but strange MS it may appear, he took
his chief pleasure in propounding to tho
wife of his bosom, hard conundrums,
which she, unable to guess, would give
up, saying ; ~ can't guess-what is
itT" and he invariably answered,
"That's a nut for you to crack while
she, poor woman kept quiet, having no
way of redress, and thinking that some
time she might pay the debt with inter-
est.
Thus matters remained until the pa
tient wife was laid low upon her sick
bed and her dissolution was fast ap-
p%roaching. She asks in n feeble voice
for her husband, to whom, on coming
to her bedside, she said : "Joshua, we
have two beautiful and atfection"to
children" :,
eyes" said the stricken husband
and father, eyes, they are indeed beHuti-
ful and afcc,ionate children"
"Wcll, Joshua, l can't leave this
world without telling you something
that has long been weighing upon my
mind, aud may perhaps surprise You.
You are the father of only n Of those
children"
"What r' exclaimed the astonished
husband, "grcat God which is my
daughter"
She turned to him with II look Of tri-
umph, rs she said "That's a nut for
you to crack" And before he could
rally to ask more, the spirit of his part
ner was waited away, leaving him
tho toughest nut of all to crack by
himself.

FROM WA

-
WADswoRrH, February ia terri
bio affair occurred here yesterday,
which has cast n gloom over tho whole
town, md may result in something still
more serious. A man named Johnson,
an engineer on the railroad, caught an
other man, who goes by the name of
Beechcr, in bed with his wife. Johnson
had been away ont on the railroad, and
Unexpectedly came homeland suddenly
entering his home, caught Beecher rs
stated. He drew n largo bowie-knife,
which he was in the habit Of carrying,
and went Mt Beecher, who tried to get
some clothing on, and to make his es-
cape-but he was oyerp0wcrcd by the
infurinted husband, who deliberately
flnyed him nlivor cutting and hacking
him all to pieces, some of the fingers Of
both hands being literally cut OIL, and
scattered around the room, tho nose and
ears of the man also being severed from
his hcad-the bedclambcr presenting the
appearance of n slaughter house. One
stab with the knife, six inches deep,
penetrated the heart, and killed Beechor
instantly, while he was on his knees
begging for mercy. The room door had
boon locked by the infurintcd husband,
and his wife was made n terrified wit
ness to the awful massacre. Her shrieks
brought help to the house, the doors
being broken open just rs Johnson was
about d~isembow cling his victim. lie
was Immediately overpowercd, and tied,
but with great difficulty, and he was
handed over to m officer. lie seemed
entirely sane before he went to his
home, and seemed to be NIL right MS
soon as he WAS nrrested-as he kissed
his wife, md made no attempt to do her
any injury whatever. He is now in the
hnnds of the law. The affair has caused
an unusual excitement here, but nobody
seems to blame him-except some OF
Beecher's friends, who favor johnson's
hanging by a mob. 1t is difficult telling
where the sad affair will end.

JOHN II. SuRRArr.-The Washington
correspondent of the Boston Herald
gives the following:
"Surratt is now in South America,
but will return hero in a month. |
learn from one Of his friends that he has
prepared n full and explicit statement
Of the conspiracy which resulted in the
death Of President Lincoln. In this he
denies all knowledge Of any assassina-
ton plot, but confcsses freely that Booth
and himself and others were in u plot to
abduct Mr.. Lincoln. He declares that
assassination was never spoken otto him
and was not agreed upon by Payne and
Booth until the the night it took place.
He further insists on the entire inno-
cenco Of his mother, maintains that
every effort was made to keep the alb
duction plot from her knowledge, and
says that she was simply the victim Of
unfortunate circumstances and the ma
chiuations of the witness Weichman,
whose evidence, it will be remembered,
caused Mrs. Surratt's conviction. Sur
raft proposes to tell everything he
knows ; the good, bad and indifferent,
and make oath to it. He feels, it is
said, that it will be sc impartial and
straightforward that it will be be-
lieyed."

A DEAD

To see the changes in the face
OF one you once believed your friend,
While slipping slowly from its place
You know that friendships at an end
In overy limb to feel tho pains
Your iron letters grounded there;
To hear the clanking Of the chains
You onee had thought as light as air;
To stand by your uncofincd dead,
Whose lips to you are henceforth sealed
To see the heart you know and read,
Against your love forever steeled;
To feel the GOODNESS Of the hand
Which once lay warm within your own,
When side BY side you sit or stand,
Without q tear without q groan:
This is the bitter, bitter woe,
This is the never-dying pain.
Though we were friends, alas ! l know
We never can DO friends again!
And when sometimes we pass or meet,
Will you still bow, shall l still smile,
With people passing in the street,
To make the farce seem real tho while !
Or shall We let the dead past 60,
And say: "Our friendship served its ends,
So let US still do right below.
Though We no longer can be friends
Yes, l have strength to 60 my ways,
You arc tho faithless, I the true.
/ am your friend through all your days,
Although I ask no pledge from you.
l know in time the bitter tears
Will start whonc'er you think OF me,
Through all that dreary waste OF years,
When bound in death my life shall be.
And in the night, when you awake,
"A SILVER will convulsc your frame;
A terror on your mind will break,
You will not know from whence it came
l know that in Deaths solemn hour,
My name will burn upon your tongue;
And /, that time, may have the power
To wiring your soul as mine wal wrung'
Farewell, my fricndl now I have done
For the last time rs friends We part;
No one is true beneath the sun,
Since faith was faithlcss in your heart.
