They forced the keys from

made a desperate resistance and
severely wounded one of the

The Lea,herwood Case
From the Huntsville Independent.


Sometime ago it was asserted,
and generally believed, that
Holman Leatherwood, a q. S.
revenue agent and detective,
was murdered in Etowah coun-
ty while looking after illicit dis
tilleries. His horse was found
with blood upon the saddle
Marion Noogin, and several
others, engaged in distilIing,
were arrested and brought to
Huntsville, supposed to be the
murlerers of Leatherwood.-
Search was made for the body
of the supposed murdered man,
and kept up with great diligence
for many weeks without any re-
suit. No trace of the body
could be found in the county,
A few days ago u dead body
was found in Coosa river, about
seventy miles from where the
riderless horse was found. The
body is said tobe that ofLeath-
erwood, has been brought to
Huntsville, and now lies here,
awaiting for the father of the
missing man to come to see If
he can recognize it as the body
of his son. The prisoners were
brought out yesterday for trial,
but the case was continued I'M
til to-day, when the trial will be
proceeded with, as soon as the
body that has been brought here
is identified to be or not to be
the body Of Holman Leather
wood. The opinion generally
prevails that it is not the body
of the missing man, but that
tterwill be put at rest to-day,
perhaps, when the father sees
the body.
LEATHERWOOD ALIVE.
When the court was opened
yesterday, Mr.. r. B. Grow, of
Pulaski, Tenn, was examined.
and testified that, to the best of
his knowledge and belief, he
saw Leatherwood in Waco,
Texas, about the 9th of june
last, and believes that he still
lives, Notwithstanding the cir
cumstances pointing to the prob
abilities of his murder.
We trust the mystery will be
speedily solved, and that the
men now in prison will receive
their just deserts-liberty, if
innocent, punishmentif guilty.
Seventy miles was good long
way to go to from the place
where the murder was said to
have occurred, to find the body.
We trust the matter may be
thoroughly sifted, and no inno-
cent man punished. And it
aUiW be sifted, no doubt.
