An ANeesing scene iu . Court aosm
Trom Nashville American, Tin J

Prom Nashville American, l7iI)
+ An unusually affecting scene was wit
messed in the supreme court yesterday
morning. 1t wss during the sneech
made by Enoch Thompson and the pass.
! ing Of the sentence OF death upon him
for the murder and robbery OF Rufus G.
Jackson, near Mt. Pleasant, on the sth
day OF April, 1876.
Judge Turney, IN the absence Of Judge
sneed. who was to have delivered the
opinion, but was unabled to leave hi.
room, on account of sickness, said that
the court could look at nothing bur the
record in this case. Every member of
the court had carefully examined the re
cord, and the court was unanimous in
the opinion that the judgment should lie
affirmed. Turning to the prisoner at
the bar, he asked: Have you any
thing to say why the judgment of the
court should not be pronounced upon
your
The prisoner, eager 20 catch at the last
seeming hope lett him, leaned forward,
his face betokening the deepest earn
estness, and, though his speech was ram
bling and incolierent In some particulars.
he aroused a feeling OF deep sympathy in
all who heard him. Raising his hand he
said he would swear before God that hc
was innocent of the death OF Jack son.
He utterly denied having made confess
sion OF the crime. He had been crammed
INTO cell by himself; people had called
upon him and talked to him, and would
go oil and say he had confessed the
crime. when, on the contrary. only the
civllities OF the day had passed
between them. lie had always as
serted his innocence he was az inno-
cent Of the crime as an angel in Heay-
en-. 4 job had been put up on him. and
thus had he been doomed TO death. on
the night Jackson was said 10 have been
killed he thompson was at home with
his wife and four children-one babe at
the breast. II was mighty hard an inno-
cent nan should be hung for some
body e.se's crime; forced TO leave hI.
wife and little ones, with nobody TO take
care of them. In the midst Of his appeal
Thompson asked Judge Turney to
please state the grounds upon which the
court had affirmed the Judgment.
ave can only look 70 the record"
said Judge Turney 1--WE can DO moth
ing Ter you now"
The prisoner again insisted that lie
was Innocent. But. though he wa- soon
to die for another mans crime, ne would
forgive all the witnesses who had sworn
against him: forgive. all the judges who I.
had passed sentence upon him, and hoped
they would all meet him in heaven. He
invited everybody in the nlted States 20 .
come and witness his execution, and
closed with declaring in the most solemn
manner that he was an innocent man.
Judge Turncy then announced that il
was the judgement OF the court tina, the
prisoner be remanded TO jail by the sher-
if, and turned over 10 the sheriff Of I
Maury county, and that on the 2.th Of /
April the prisoner be carried to GAL 1
lows 10 be erected within a mile of Col |
umbia and hanged By the neck until /
dead.
An effort will be made to obtain new
hearing for Thompson.
