THE MURDER OF JULIA HAYDEN.
From the Nashville Banner, SATURDAY.
A Banner representative, with in
structiOns to proceed TO Lebanon, Ten
nessee, and report the proceedings in
the case Of young Lyons, charged as an
accOmplice in the Julis Hayden MUIR
der, who was TO be tried there yesterday,
left on Friday evening for that famous
little city. Arriving at the Hardy
house, he found the citizens grouped
about in spots canvassing the prObabili-
ties of what the next days investiga-
ton would develop. Some were of this
opinion and some Of that, but mere con-
lecture was not what our representative
was after, more particularly as the Tu-
mOrs that were aflOst pointed to various
ones as being implicated in that terrible
affair. Finding that q partial inves-
tigatiOn Of Lyons had taken place
the day previous, our representa-
tive called upon COlonels ThOmp-
son and Csntrell, lawyers for the
defense, also upon Hon. Jordan Stokes,
Hon. E. l. Golladay, Colonel B. J. Tar
yer, Captain a. B. Martin, J. +. Stokes,
Esq, and Z. E. Beard, Esq, lawyers
engaged by the State to prosecute and
elicit the following meager facts, which
were all that had, as yet, tTanspired in
the investigation. It seems that on
Friday morning Sheriff McGregor, Of !
Wilson, upon information deemed relia- |
bic, and acting under the governors late (
proclamation, arrested young Pat Lyons 1
as being implicated in the murder of 1
Julia Hayden, in Trousdale county. /
Lyons was carried before Esquire 1
O'Brien, of Lebanon, for investigation. 4
Colonel Thompson moved to quash the 1
warrant upon the insufficiency of the |
affidavit, but failed to effect it. Lyons
then sued Out a writ of hQbeds corpus,
TO he tried before Judge WilliamtOn. It 1
was thought that young man named
Andrew Seagraves, as witness, could
disclose a conversation had with Bowen
but he, Seagraves, had been
sent 10 Nashville by his mother, under /
fear of his life. Sheriff McGregor at
once came to Nashville and found him.
He was placed under oath and his state
ment taken, which disclosed the iufOr-
nation that Bowen Sanders and Wash
pOmlinson were parties present at the
killing Of Julia Hayden. Tomlinson
having heard Of Sanders's s arrest and his
cOmmittal to jail on account Of other
left the county. Lyons and
Sanders appeared in court ready for in
vestigstion, Sanders being taken from
Nashville on the morning train. The
was 70 commence at ten
l'elOck in the morning yesterday, but
he prosecution not being ready it was
Adjourned until two O'Clock. At this
lOur the crowd assembled sgalh in the
eSger TO hear whRt might
ranspiUe, but after some preliminary ar
Augment tAC Ne'7u " a gam SOAbAANCA
lntil Tuesday morning at nine O'Clock,
It which hour Lyons and Sanders will
.ome again before Judge Williamson.
The lawyers engaged on both sides Of
his case are men whose ability is not
st any bar in the State. What
,ver there may be in the matter, it will
,e sifted to the bottom. All parties are
determined upon q patient and fair in
TestigatiOn. There were indeed many
umOrs afloat, pro and con, bearing on
he case Of those accused, but having
nothing definite, or that can yet be re-
.arded as authentic, we forbesr giving
circulation to any of them. The full
acts will be developed next Tuesday,
which viii be duly reported in the Ban
ler. Itwas deemed prudent to have the
all strongly guarded with ten men.
