An Innocent Man Convicted of Murder.

The recent case in Vermont of the conviction
of An innocent man of!the crime of murder re-
minds me of q similar mistake in Portland.
Many years ago John Gould was convicted of
murder for having killed "a man by the name
of Starbird. knew them ibcth personally
they were drunkards. One morning Starbird
was found dead near rum shop at the head of
Central Wharf. At the inquest and on the
trial of Gould the rumseler testified that he
and Starbird were in his shop the night before,
both of them drunk and quarrehng, and that
he turned them out of his shop because they
were noisy and fighting. Star bird was found
with his head fatally broken.
On the testimony of the rumseller Gould was
convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged
whenever the governor should issue his war
rant, and he remained many years in state
prison. But the rumseller fell sick one day and
Just before his death he confessed that it was
he who had killed Starbird by blow upon the
head with an iron weight. Gould was released
from prison and for many years afterward sold
fish about our streets. He is now dead. The
men were drunk, the murder was in rum.
shop, and the rumseller struck the blow
Which is the greater crime against society and
the greater sorrow to family and friends, to kill
sober man, good citizen, or to change him
into drunkard? ND.
