An Arkansas Tragedy.

The Hot Springs Democrat says: A hor-
rible murder was committed last Wedues-
day night in the vicinity of Center Point,
which, in point Of atrocity, has no parallel
in the annals Of crime in Arkansas, unless
perhaps, the murder of the Richardson
family at Rock Greek, in Pulaski county,
may furnish its peer. A man living in
Howard county sold his farm and stock
last fall, with view to removing to Texas,
and receiving the money few days since,
was all prepared for his contemplated jour
ney. On Wednesday last he was at a
neighbours house, some few miles away
from home, when, night overtaking him,
his neighbor induced him to stop over un-
til morning; but during the night the man
who was away from his family, could not
rest, feeling presentiment that something
was going wrong at home, so he got W
and started, man from Texas, who was
heavily armed, and stopping at the same
house, accompanying him. Upon approach
ing his house light was discovered, wheI
the gentleman remarked to his Texas
friend that there certainly was something
wrong, as his wife was not accustomed tt
being up so late at night. They alighted
and creeping stealthily to the house, dis
covered four men sitting by bright fire
counting money. The horrible suspicion
of murder and robbery flashed upon tn,
minds of the parties watching the mone1
counters; so stationiug themselves one a
each door they commenced an attack upol
the strange inmates, which resulted il
saughtering the entire party-the TcxaI
killing three and the other man one, En-
tering they discovered the dead bodies o
the mans wife and two little children, Will
scattered about the room torches wer,
placed, ready to ignite, for the purpose o
firing the building to conceal the crime.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS ANSWER.

The complalnant,or prosecuting witness,
IN criminal cases, can only be made liable
Tor costs in the class of cases and under
the circumstances specified in the statute.
That IS, IN cases where the prosecutor ma
Iclously and without probable cause sues
out peace warrant REV. Stat. p. 399, sec.
S2S) or procures an Indictment for false
Imprisonment or malicious mischief (R S.
p. 4OS, sec. 400, and in these cases the
complainant or prosecuting witness cannot
be made liable for the costs of the prosecu-
ting, unless the court or jury find that he
maliciously instituted the prosecution, and
for that reason judgment is entered against
hum for such costs. 1t is the duty of all
citizens having knowledge of the COM
mission of criminal offenses to enter COM
plants therefor before the proper magis-
trates, and if they act in good faith they do
not thereby become liable for the costs of
the prosecution. Your questions are
therefore answered in the negative. 1t
was held at an early day in this state
that neither state nor a county are
bound by law to pay fees of officers in
prosecutions in behalf of the people
when no conviction is had, and when the
defendant is convicted the officer must
look to the defendants estate for
costs and run the risk of losing them if in
solvent, (Kitchell VS.. Madison county, 4
ScammOn, l64l. The proposition here
laid down is still the law except so far as it
has been modified by a subsequent statute.
The fortieth section of the fees and salaries
act contains the provision that in all crimi-
nal cases when the fees cannot be collected
OF the parties convicted, or when the pros
ecutlon fails, the county board may at its
discretion direct that the cost of prosecu-
tlo1 or so much thereof as may seem just
and equitable, shall be paid out of the coun
y treasury. Revised Statutes, D. 5l8.)
Under this provision it would be competent
Tor the county board to direct the payment
from the county treasury of the costs edui-
ta6ly due justices and constables in crimi.

cases where the costs can not be collected
OF the party convicted.
