TION FOR A NEW TRIAL,
The trial of r. Bailey Dunlap, formerly |
of Augusta county, for the murder of Jas. |
Carpenter, at Columbus, Ohio, was con-
cluded last Saturday, the jury, after a
protracted session, bringing in verdict /
of murder in the second degree. His
counsel moved for new trial. Mr.. J.
Beard, one of the witnesses from Angus
ia, returned here on Tuesday.
The Columbus s'Dispatch'' contains the
following evidence given in the trial:
Rev. David Fl. Moore was pastor of
Wesley Chapel, Columbus, and brother
in-laW of Carpenter. The report was
brought to him that Carpenter had been
shot in bed with Dunlap's wife. He went
there with that horrible impression On his
mind, but to his unspeaka Die relief he
found the body in the corn crib. L had, said
tine witness, "a conversation with Carpen-
ter shortly prior to the day Of the tragedy
in which he referred to Dunlap's threats
against him. He said it was extremely I'M
pleasant to him, because Dunlap. when in
liquor, was extremely violent, abusive and
jealous that he was furiously jealous of
ordinary respect to his wife that if any
one said anything in her behalf he became
furiously angry. Dunlap had threatened
his life, but he (Carpenter) didn't believe
Dunlap would, kill him, but it was very
unpleasant 10 be abused he thought some
times he ought to leave the place. He der
| clared that there was no ground for jeak
ousy of him. | advised him to tell Df.
Hawkes., his uncle, about the matter, and
have the Dunlaps removed. told him{if
he (Carpenter) left, it would give opportll-
| nifty for people 70 say he left on account 6f
troubles about Mrs. Dunlap I think thsTe
was nothing said about him arming hih-
self and preparing for defense there
might have been but / don't remember it.
Carpenter had supervision of laborers on
the farm, and worked as a laborer him.
SELF
H. B. Moore, a resident of Franklinton,
was the first to enter the crib; didn't re-
member seeing any shaWls OF wraps Of any
sort about the premises; his impression
was that he saw a check bonnet near the
door; had not heard of Carpenters re-
puted intimacy with Mrs. Dunlap, before
| the homicide.
Miles Owens, who worked at DR..
| Hawkes. stables at the rear Of the Ameri--
can Hotel, saw Dunlap and Carpenter
meet at the stables the evening previous to
the homicide. Dunlap threatened to kill
Carpenter that night, and used blasphe-
| nous words towards him. Mrs. Dunlap,
who had just returned from the fair in an
omnibus, was standing by the shed close
by, waiting to be taken home. Dir.
