DOOMED TO DEATH BY FALSE CIRcUM

DOOMED TO DEATH BY FALSE CIRcUM-
sTANTIAL EvIDENCE.-A remarkable case.
showing the danger of trusting implicitly to
circumstantial evidence, has just been COM
pleted in Toledo. Nearly three years ago,
Robert Sharp was found dead, with shot and
slugs in his brain. A man named Harrisc-
ton, who had been on intimate terms with
the deceased, was arrested for the murder.
The testimony was wholly circumstantial, but
so skilfully "worked up" by the detectives
that Harrington was convicted and sent 10
the pententiary. His lawyers had become
interested in the case, and, although Harring-
ton was poor man, they determined to fight
his cause to the end. After long and ariu-
GUS struggle through the district and supreme
courts, an order for new trial was obtained.
and that trial has justj closed. The main
points in the evidence on which he was con-
victed were the apparent correspondence OF
the shot in the body of the dead man with
that in the shot-bag belonging to Harrington !;
tne correspondence OF pieces of newspaper
Iound near the scene of the supposed murder,
and assumed to be part of the gun wadding,
with torn paper in Harrington's residence
and piece in his vest pocket. and that the
motive for the murder was TO be found ia the
alleged TACT of Sharp having come to Toledo
with several hundred dollars of money.
which Harrington knew, and that no one
else was so intimate with Sharp. On the sec
ond trial it was rendered doubtful whether
there was similarity in the shot. 1t was
clearly proven that the pieces OF paper alleg-
ed to have been picked up at the scene of the
murder were not there at the time of the find
ing OF the body, nor for day or two after
ward, and the inference was unavoidable that
they were put there by the detectives to aid
them in working up" the case against Har-
rinetOn. 1t was further proven that Sharpe
was destitute when he arrived i'm Toledo, and
that Harrington was doing his best to aid
him IN procuring employment. To crown all
an alibi was satisfactorily proven. Harrino,
ton was declared innocent and the jurv vol.
unfairly gave him letter, signed .by every
member, repeating in emphatic terms, their
belIef OF his entire innocence of any knowl-
edge OF the supposed murder, and bearing
testimony to his uniform good character.
The public sentiment unanimously coinci,led
with this verdict. The former EMPLOYER Of
Harrington Immediately took him baeI into
his service. 1t causes an unpleasant sbndder
to reflect that perfectly Innocent man Of
good character, suffered two wears of deorad-
ing punishment, and NARROWLY escaped an ig-
nominious death, Tor crime of which he
knew notnng. 1t is another warning OF i'm
plielt trust in wholly circumstantial evidence.

ing up case" against one they choose to sus--

SINGULAR FREAK OF LIGHTSING.-A mem.
ber of the family of Capt. Joshua Hale, of New
buryport, while walking out during thunder
storm the latter part of last week, felt shock
ofelectricity which momentarily stunned her,
but, recovering almost instantly, she continued
her walk home. Gu arriving there she found
that the lightning had actually struck a fold of
her black alpaca dress, near the ground where
it was wet by the shower, and had scorched
the edge OF the fold and then leaped off to the
w, ground. The burned pieces of the dress
were cut out and saved. 1t is curiosity, the
like OF " hch Is rarely seen, and it is well worth
preservation, The electric fluid burned a
stteak about eight inches in length, and on its
edges the peculiar zgzag of the flash is as
clearly dehned-burned into the fabric-as IL il
seen painted on "a black cloud in thunder
storm. ~he surrounding cloth having been
dry at tho time of the occurrapce, and conse-
quently non. conductor, is unharmed. The
lady's escape from death was very remarkable.
THE Methodist Book Concern, after deal
of ofvaporng seem to be striking real interest, as
may be seen in Mondays proceedings. DIR.
Lanahan, when asked what reason he had for
thinking the bank books and check books
would helm him in the Goodenough case said,
.I learned that oil companies had been organ
ized in the Book Concern, aud held meetings
OF the old place, of which Goodenough aud DR..
Carlton were officers, and there were records
ON the books giving me reason to believe that
the funds OF the honse were used for improper
purposes. 1 assertained to my satisfaction
that Goodeuough bad received in year moro
than 5000 over tue proper amount OF his sal
ary. There are hundreds and thousands of
dollars entered on the cash book in the form of
notes which do not appear on the bill book. I"
The Tribune this morning says that tho
whole inquiry into this affair is extraordinary,
irregular, ill advised and scandalous.

DETAILS OF THE DIFFICULTIES ON THE ASH
ATTIC COAsT.-About five years ago the Ameri-.
can ship Gen. Sherman welt ashore on tue
Corean coast. Her crew was captured and
horribly treated and tortured, some of them
hibted to the natives. One man, not long
since, escaped, and reaching an American man
of-war detailed these atrocities.
Admiral Bell, in command Of the Asiatic
Squadron, sent the United States ship She
nandoah to the Corean coast 10 inquire into the
matter, and demand redress. On approaching
the Corean coast the Shenandoah was fired on
by the shore batteries, manned by large num-
Der of Coreans, but as her commander had ne
orders to return the fire, he left, and reported
the matter to Admiral Bell.
There the matter ended until Admiral Row
an took command. He left this country with
orders to settle up the Formosa and Coreap
difficulties. When he got on the station he
found the Formosa matter settled, and before
proceeding against the Coreans, the Depart
ment sent word Tor him to await further or
orders. No further orders were given, and
when Admiral John Rodgers sailed in the Col
orado, it was understood he had full authority
to demand redress from the Corean govern
ment. and if it was refused TO enforce repara-
tiOn to the extent OF bis ability. With this
end in view he carried n the hold of the Colo
RADIO battery OF field pieces, a battery Of Cat.
lin guns, and other means of carrying the war
into Africa, having full powers in the matter.
The navigation in Corea waters is both diff.
cult and dangerous, and comparatively little is
known of the channels. Considerable anxiety
is felt to hear from Admiral Rodgers, as it was
fully expected he would make another attack
upon the Coreans the next day after the date
OF bis last dispatch to the Navy Depart ment.
IL is the opinion of competent naval officers at
Washington, that the combined forces of Eu-
ropean governments now on that station is not
sufficient tn meet and punish the aggressive
spirit exhibited by the Coreans.
