James Graham was put upon trial to-day upon
the charge of burglary. 1t was testified on the
part of the prosecution that the tavern of James
Wright, at the northwest corner of Ellar and
Amber streets, was entered on the night of the
I'd instant, and certain property stolen there
from; and one witness, Conrad Schrader, said
that about 2 O'clock in the morning he saw the
prisoner getting out of the tavern window.
The defense offered to prove an alibi, and also
attacked the credibility of the witness Schrader
by producing testimony TO show that he had for
two dollars signed written declaration that
Graham was innocent of the charge. At the
close of our report the trial was still In progress

A Man Charged with Murder Does Not Pay
His Attorneys for Clearing Him.
II will be recollected that few years ago a
man by the name of JosephsD Downham, of Kent
county in this State, killed a colored man named
Caesar Lewis, and fled from Delaware to the
State of Indiana In due course of time his wife
left behind applied to the Legislature and q
decree of divorce in her case was granted
The whereabouts of Downham being ascer-
tanned, a requisition was made by the Governor
of Delaware upon the Governor of Indiana for
the rendition of the fugitive. The sheriff of
Kent county started upon his Western tour and
returned with Downham as prisoner, and had
him confined In Dover jail for trial for the muir
der with which he was charged.
The former wife of Downham feeling lively
interest in the approaching trial. and Wishing to
avoid the reproach which would be brought
upon the father of her children, should he be
convicted, and having since her divorce come
into possession of some property, advanced
some hundreds of dollars for the payment of
witnesses brought on from the West Downham

Indiana, and for the kindness of his former
wife, gave his bond for the money she had ad-
vanced. . a.I =, sY
Hon. Joseph P. Comegys and Hon. N. B.
emithers were retained as counsel for the pri-
soner, and to them he also gave his bond for
| $1,000. The time for the trial came on, and
| through the efforts of his former wife and his
counsel he was saved from a felon's doom.
| After his acquittal he again returned to his
| Western home with promise to speedily liqui-
| date the claims of his former wife and counsel.
| Time wore on, and his neglect to pay induced
| his attorneys to enter up their claim and pro-
ceed against his property, which they did, and
| from 1t they only realized $3.50.
