One of the most interesting

fact that one meets everywhere
in daily hfe the things that illus

Throw open your lattice in the

you will see that he mas little

the voice comes to your memory,

Fifteen Murderers
Procession.

One of the most melancholy pro.
cessions that ever passed through
the streets of New York, was seen
one day last week, on its way
from the Tombs to th4 Court
house. Itwas composed of fifteen
murderers who were marched from
the city prison to the Court OF
Oyer and Terminer, to be formally
arraigned and to have the times
of trial set down. One of the pa.
pers, in describing this spectacle,
says:
They stepped from the Frank
lin street door of the prison hand
cufed in threes, and were formed
in procession, with a Deputy
Sheriff, like lieutenant, in front
OF each trio Of prisoners. There
were in the company two women,
three negroes, and two boys. The
names ct the fifteen are John
Scannell, Geo. Washington John
Sewell, Bridget Kelley, Thomas
Wilson, Joseph Ferango. Theo,
dOre Read, Thomas CalIaghan. ia
cob Staderman, Henry Rix. Sam.
uel Murray Annie Jaue Murrey,
John Kennedy, John Bengisson,
and Thomas SOrrel. Scannell
was separated from the rest, and
taken unmanacled to the Court
house, aud the two women were
also spared the humiliation of
walking with the rest. The hand
crfftd company, interspersed with
the officers, and surrounded by
their friends, and outside OF them
by the staring throng. were march
ed through Centre and Chamber
streets. On the way the throng
was augmented until the street
was full. Some of the murderers
seemed humiliated, and hung their
heads. One who was the middle
of his rank, with both hands ias-
tened to his companions, persuad
ed one Of them to pull his hat
brim down over his face. Sever
al seemed dazed, and not to care
how they locked or who saw them.
More numerous than either of
these kinds, however, were those
who held up their heads brazenly,
and gave stare for stare. The
wife of Que OF the negroes walked
by his side, holding his uniettered
hand aDd sobbing hyslerically-
The mother Of one Of the boys
kept close to him, and once took
off his hat to FIX his hair, which
was light flaxen and had grown ve-
ry long. He was of the few who
seemed ashamed, and his eyes oY-
erfowed when his mothers hand
touched him.

The Story of a Thousand

named Sarah Ridgely called at

a small amount OF groceries, Civ.

was a one dollar note. Suppos-
ing that it was stolen, he detail D.
ed the bill ard advertised for an
owner repeatedly; but, no one
claiming it, be invested it in city
stock. Several false claimants
appeared for the note, and it was
the subject of several lawsuits,
which terminated in Mr.. Cobb re.
tanning custody.
The history of one of these
claimants is as follows: Mr.. Cobb
was one day conversing about the
money with a man who made so
many particular inquiries that Mr..
Cobb mistruSted his motive, and
told him that the woman was dark
and had large wen on the side
of her neck, when, in fact, she
was mulatto, and had no such
wen. Soon afterward very dark
woman with a large wen on her
neck appeared from the Baltimore
Almshouse and prOfessed to be the
Sarah Ridgley, but the fraud was
easily exposed, and up to this time
the woman who left the bank.

Mr.. Cobb allowed the money to
remain with accumulated interest
until 1866, when it amounted to
$3.740. and he then presented it
to the Union Orphan Asylum.

John Gray's wife was very i'll
in Chicago, and the family, O.
beylng the physicians injunc-
ton Of quiet, tip-toed silently
around her bed. The Rev. d.
A. Norton, a clergyman, called
to look after her soul, and would
not heed the husbands request
not to disturb her, but persisted
in eXhorting the sick woman to
prepare for death and in pray
ing for her salvation. At length
Mr.. Gray pulled the minister
out the room, boxed his ears
with his fist, and threw him in
to the mud Of the street. A
Justice, impressed with the he
inousness Of assaulting a pray
ing and exhorting minister, sent
Mr.. Gray to Jail for thirty days.
About the same time the wife
died-killed, according to the
belief of the physician, by the
excitement of the spiritual min
istration. The facts aroused a
strong sentiment favorable to
the prisoner, and he was par
doned out Of confinement after
only two days Of it; but moth

fore, arrested, and brought tc
st. Augustine. At the prelimi-
nary examination Newton testi-
fed against his aunt, deeply
eliminating himself. This
course was taken to make him
States evidence, and thus light
en- his own load of responsible
ty.
NEwToN's TRIAL.
AT the trial last week Newton
repeated his self-inculpatingt tes-
timony. He confessed that he
had been hired by Mary Ann
Newton to kill Henry Keech
and Ellen Hunt, and that she
had promised him moiety of
the property gained by the
crime. The pistol with
which the man and woman
were shot was acknowledged by
Newton as one purchased for
him in Wisconsin by his aunt.
The defendants counsel rails
ed point as to the admissible
ty Of the testimony Of Newton,
the principal felon. Judge Ar
chibdld ruled that he had not
yet been shown to be the prin-
cipal felon and that the trial
might proceed. The jury found
Mrs. Newton guilty, and sh,
will be sentenced TO death. =
Newton will be tried next for
murder in the first degree; and
to complete the confusion Of this
intricate tangle Of crimes, the
grand jury has sent in a true
bill against Keech, the half-mur-
dered man, for living in concu-
binage with Ellen Hunt.
Mrs. Newton's counsel have
appealed to the Supreme Court
which meets in January next.
1t is not believed that the APP
peal will be sustained.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Oct. T. The
trial of Newton is now in prog
less. 1t is said that his testi-
mony in the preceding trial
will not be received as States
evidence, and that he will be
disappointed in any hope of a
pardon on this account. The
testimony Of Keech whom he
attempted to kill, will be sufi-
cient to convict him, independ-
cnt ofany confession Of his own.

A Grateful Client.

When Judge Henderson OF Tex
as was first a candidate for Office,
he visited a frentier county, In
which he was, except by rep
utation, a stranger. Hearing that
a trial for felony would take place
in a few days, be determined to
volunteer for the defense. The
prisoner was charged with having
stolen pistol; the defense was
"not guilty" The volunteer
counsel conducted the case with
ability. He confused the witness,
palavered the court, and made
an able and successful argument.
The prisoner was acquitted-he
had not stolen the pistol. The
counsel received the enthusiastic
applause of the audience. His in
nocent client avaiIed himself of
the earliest interval of the hurri-
cane of congratulations to take
his counsel aside. "My dear sir," !"
said he, "you have saved me, and
| am very grateful. l have no
money, do not expect to have any.
and do not expect to see you a
gain: but to show you that l ap-
preciate your services, you shall
have tho pistol" So saying, he
drew from his pocket, and pre-
sented to the astonished attorney.
the very pistol the attorney had
just shown he had never stolen or
had in his possession.
