Two HFurderers to be Hanged,


In the Criminal Court of Memphis, the
trial of E. j. Eason, for the murder of Ed
ward Lyles, near Horn Lake, last June,
was concluded Saturday, the Jury after be-
ing out four hours returning a verdict of
'tguilty of murder in the first degree" His
Honor, Judge Flippin, sentenced the pris-
oner to be hung by the neck till he was
dead, on Friday, the second day of August,
1872. ~ 80 l.'.i
In the case of the State vs.. Charles Gin
ton, convicted of the murder of his wife
Carrie, few months ago, the motion for a
new trial was oyerruled by Judge Flippin.
The two pleas, insanity and drunkenness,
set up by the defense were reviewed at
some length by the court, which approved
of the former, but the circumstances as
concerned the drunkenness rebutted any
presumption that the mind at the
time the murder was committed,
was in this state, established by the
fact of the prisoner locking the door, con-
cealing the bloody garments and taking
other measures to prevent discovery OF
the deed, etc. Such testimony showed
that the defendant could not beso drunk as
not to have had an intent. The Supreme
Court of Tennessee had decided that
drunkenness could not be urged as an ex-
cuse for the commission of crime, and a
man while in a state of intoxicaiion could
commit murder in the first degree. 1t
was with deep feelings Of pain, said the
Judge, that the Court was constrained
to the conclusion that the defendant had
struck down and killed the woman whom
at the sacred altar of God he had vowed to
love and cherish; hence ne had to override
the motion for a new trial and then passed
the death sentence on Charles Clinton,
setting Friday, Aug. 2, as the day for its
execution. The prisoner was pale and
seemed violently agitated while the words
were being uttered by the court, and real
lied their fearful import.

Sudden Death.

We are deeply panied to learn that Rev.
Isaac Miner died suddenly last Sunday
evening, at his residence near Columbia,
Tenn. He had preached that day at Mount
Olivet church, some four miles northeast OF
town, and returning home that evening, he
remarked to bis wife that he thought he
would take regular work in the Conference
this fall, as he was feeling so much better
in health than he had for some time past.
After taking supper, he repaired to his libra
ry, where he had been only some twenty
minutes, when his wife went in and found
him lying lifeless on a lounge, his specta-
cles, books, lights and table, all indicating
he had been reading but a few minutes
previously. For several years he had been
afflicted with dyspepsia, greatly affecting
his nervous system, especially his hearing;
but the immediate cause of his death was
evidently disease of the heart.
Mr.. Miner was native of England.
Some twenty odd years ago he came to this
country and settled not far from Florence,
Ala and was instrumental in bringing over
and settling around him, his father, mother,
sisters and brothers, and with them en-
gagged in successful business. He was soon
united in marriage to Miss Josie Kennedy,
who has made him most devoted cOmpan-
ion, now left with an only son to mourn
his loss. ...... s
Rev. Mr. Miner was connected with the
NJ. E. Church South as an earnest, faithful
minister of the Gospel. His preaching was
able, clear, logical and always impressive,
edifying and convincing, showing bis thor
ough understanding of the doctrines of the
Bible, the plan of salvation and the duties
of mankind. He had but few, if any, equals
in the pulpit, and the members of the other
churches were always highly pleased with
bis preaching and his daily intercourse in
society. His life was a practical common
tary on what he preached, flied up with
duty to his Maker, his neighbor and his
family. 1t may be truly said, ''Ihe poor
he had eUer Nth him." and they know best
what his generous heart prompted him to
do for them. In all the relations of life he
was the true-hearted, pure man; and we
may Justly say of him: "Mdrb the perfect
man, and behold the upright, for the end Of
that man is peace" The writer Of this no
tice has known the deceased for many years
intimately, and he knew him only to adj
mire and cherish as true man and most
estimable friend; and he tenders his sincere
coincidence to the deeply bereaved family
and friends in their hours Of deep gloom.
The funeral takes place tomorrow (Wed-
nesday} evening at 4 o clock.

The grand picnic yesterday and last
night at the National Garden in Nashville

have attended under other circumstances.
The number present in the afternoon was
quite large while that last night was almost
countless. These gardens, which are beau
tifuliy located and pleasantly shaded, con-

night, many preferrfng the seats under the
trees to the hall which was crowded with
dancers. Altogether the entertainment
both in the day and night was most delight
ful to the visitors and quite financial sue
cess. This we are pleased to know mas
much as the proceeds go towards the
Church Of the Assumption.

Love, Jealousy and Murder.

Last Friday two negroes whose names
We did net obtain, became involved in an
alteration relative 70 a cOlored woman TO
whom they had been paying attention, near
Mariah Church, Giles county. One of the
negroes told the other he was going to kill
him and Immediately entering the house
procured a pistol, but was prevented from
using it by an old colOTed man. After
while the armed negro who was appealed
to by his sister and mother to desist, point
Cd his pistol at them standing ia the door
way and told them be would shoot unless
they suffered him to pass. Getting out doors
be approached his rival and fired, the bullet
entering the heart and producing immediate
death. The murderer went to gentleman
named Rundle to whom he gave himself
up, and told al untrue version of the affair,
by which he justified himself so far that
he was released. This time the murderer
mounting his horse endeavored to escape
but was pursued and captured by sheriff
Parsons gho lodged him in Jail. The
murdered man was buried at the same
time and in the same graveyard with Mr..
Steele, who died as has been stated in this
paper, from wounds inflicted few days
previously by negro named Prof. Bryant.

Shotgun AMLsEMENT.
A Man and woman Shot in West

Tennessee.
Sunday morning DR.. Paul F. Eve, of this
city, was called in to see a wOun led man
and his wife at the Kellogg House, near the
Chattanooga depot. The shoulders of the
man were pierced by bullets, one being
shattered, while both arms received
wounds. The lady had been shot in the
left arm, and both seemed to suffer very
much. We have obtained the following
facts, as related by the wounded mar, whose
name is Roberts. Sometime ago he, with
his wife, went from Cleveland, East Ten
nessee, to do farm work for an old man
named Tucker living near SANKEY'S Sta
ton on the Memphis and Louisville Rail
road About two weeks ago his employer
with whom he was working on shares went
to Arkansas. The son of Mr.. Tucker, a
young man about tWepty-three ears of
age, during his fathers absence drew up
tRo contracts, differing from that already
existing between Roberts and his employer.
By the terms OF these new contracts, which
were rejected by RobeFtS, lie vas to give
the young man a lien on bis furniture,
household good, etc. The rejec-
ton of the contract seemed
to infame young Tucker, who last SatrIr-
day night week accompanied by negro
man, went 20 Roberts stable and sent the
negro in to get a rule belonging to his
father, who had agreed TO IuFnish it to
Roberts. Roberts and his wife went to the
door, and ascertaining what was being done,
told young Tucker, who was standing with
a shot gun in the yard, that if he took the
mule he would make him knoW whst the
law was. st this Tucker fired, twelve buck
shot striking Roberts in both shoulders and
arms, besides severely w6uadilg the arm of
his wife, whose hand at the time was resting
or her husbands shoulder. Tucker was ar
rested ana Seeing tried before a Magistrate,
held in the sum of s., geo bail These facts
are related by Roberts, who stae<-ss moreover,
that fuckers father has offered him So coo coo
to leave the county and not prosecute his
son-he would have accepted this amount
had not bis wife been wounded. We do
not VOuch for the above being true, but only
as a statement made by Roberts, who is
about twenty-three years of age, was raised
in Georgia, but married at Cleveland, his
wife's home. The lady stated 10 the pro-
prietor of the Kellogg House that she had
only Sl4.Gq, bUt by mistake she overlooked
her hand and displayed a large role of
money, which it is thong It is a paG5 Of The
sum offered by Tucker. They left for
