\ VISIT TO THE CALABOOSE.-IhurSd
in company with Chief of Pelice Marks,
we invaded the calaboose for i journalis-
tie diversion. In one of the rooms lay
ana old man in rags, aud the very picture
Of despair. Upon inquiry we found that
lac was totally insane, and through the
instrumcntaIily of Mr.. Marks, had been
taken FROM the street in helpless con-
Iitiou, and lodged in the caIaboose, where
he was receiving proper attention.
This unfortunate old man, whose name
is said to be Alec Doherty, was the sole
occupant of this uninviting place. Sew
eraI questions were asked the pitable old
man, but his answers were unintelligi
Bile. He seemed to be in "a stupOr, and we
were informed, slept nearly all the time.
Several gentlemen from Henderson
county who were in the city Tuesday,
called upon and recognized him rs man
by the name of Dogherty who lived in
Decatur county, Tenn, aud who had
mysteriously disappeared from his house
several weeks since, and, although his
relations had made search for him, moth
ing had been heard of him until he reach
ed Jackson. On the wall Of the cell Oc-
cupied by the old man is Il perfect Zoo
logical picture gallery, the work of form
er inmates, whose idle hands could find
nothing else to do. 1t seems also that
poet found his way into one of these cells,
judging from the following effusion
written on the wall by tramp.

Murder at N1tnncap polls.

Our citizens were horr,fied by the dis.
covcry yesterday afternoon that one of
the most fiendish murders of The day
had been committed in our city. The
terrible deed was discovered by Mr..
George II. Andrews. This gentleman,
about three o'clock in the afternoon, was
crossing the marsh which lies between
Fifth street southeast and the Como road.
md while passing through clump of trees
a few rods in tho rear of Isaac McNair's
residence on Fifth street, he discovered
the body of respectfully clothed man,
lying upon his face, dead.
Without stopping to make any per-
sonal examination, Mr.. Andrews hurried
to police headquarters and notified Capt.
Hoy and Coroner Chilstrom. who with
number Of other persons Immediately
proceeded to the spot indicated by Mr..
Andrews, where the met with q sight
that almost froze the blood in
their veins, so terrible and sickcning
was the CHASTITY picture.
The body was lying face downward.
Upon being turned over the face of fair
complexioned man was disclosed, with
light hair and chin whiskers, apparently
from q to 30 years of age. He was
clothed in suit Of black pantaloons,
white shirt with three gold studs and no
collar, heavy snuff:colored coat, and
probably stood in life about feet 8
inches in height. In one of his pockets q
wallet, empty, was found, and in the
other an ordinary clasp knife.
An examination Of the body and the
H>A kI>o
had been committed by two men, the
principal instrument used in committing
the terrible deed being thoroughly
sharpened knife. The first cut, evidently,
was on the back part Of the neck, nearly
severing the head from the body. An.
other on tho left side Of the neck, sever.
ing the jugular vein and cutting across
the left jaw, leaving the roots of the teeth
exposed. While these terrible wounds
were being inflicted, either of viii ch
would have produced death, the murder.
ed man must have fought desperately, as
both his arms bear several wounds laying
the flesh open to the bone, received un-
doubtedly in attempts to ward off the
blows. The latter injuries were alone
sufficient to have caused death from
hcmOrrnages
The exact time of the perpctration OF
this terrible deed of blood cannot bo told,
further than that it was since the snow
of Friday, probably Saturday or Sunday.
As said above, it was evidently commit.
ted by two men, the tracks in the snow
showing three men entered the grove,
while there were but two leading out from
the fatal spot, where within fifteen fee,
Of where the body lay, the knife with
which the horrible deed was committed
was found.
After completing the slaughter the tive
fiends left the grove, returning nearly tn,
way the three entered, in doing SO pass
ing closely to dwelling houses, and NOV
ing directly to small gate in one Of tn
enclosures leading direct to the street
thus showing that they wero famillal
with the locality.
