Poor old Nancy Grady Liberated
at last.

AT the March term of the Circuit
Court, no case excited SO much inter-
est as that of Nancy Grady, the chick
en- thief.
The peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the ease, gave to It addi-
ti0nal interest. 1t was discussed in
the papers, upon the streets, in the
home circles, anu the question, as
Nancy Grady guilty?" was even pro-
posed for discussion in the debating
society. She was caught in the hen
house of Mr.. j. P. Braden, with
chicken in bag. The hcn-house was
nailed up, and bell attached 10 the
door by a wire from the house. When
the door was opened the bell rang, and
Mr. B. ran out aud shot his gum and
then summoned friend, and exam
ined ard found Nancy in the HEN
house. She said she was at the point
of starvation, and the Lord directed
her TO get a chicken and make some
soup; that she started, but hesitated,
and prayed for advice from oil high,
aud the Lord commanded her TO pro-
coed. She did this several times, and
arrived at the hen-house with the
above result.
She was Indicted for burglary, and
tried in March. Counsel was APP
pointed 10 defend her. The court
room was crowded throughout the
trial, and intense interest was mani
tested. The verdict Of the jury was
two years in the pcnitentiary the
least Of the law for burglary. Her
attorneys, however, got new hear
Ing. upon the ground that breaking
open hcn.house was not burglary,
and she was remandcd TO Jail TO await
this term Of the conrt. ','
Her trial came UP last Friday, and
at the conclusion of the speeches,
pro and con, the court instructed the
jury 10 find verdict of''not guilty of
burglary"
They did so, and she was released.
She is M old, sick and debilitaied
creature, and as she hobblcd from the
court house, she was heard TO NUT
ter, "If God will forgive me dis time,
III meyer steal another chicken"

well as from Kentucky, indicates the
high esteem in which its methods and
appointments are deservedly held.
