The supreme Court Makes a
LOOp-hOle, Through Which
Charles Woods,
Twice Convicted of the Murder
Of Lone Widow Escapes.

In tho criminal court to-day Charles
Woods was found not guilty OF murder,
and discharged from custody. He ives
indicted for the murder Of Mrs.
Julia Foster, neal Wilson's Station,
on the Charleston railroad on the 10Th
Of January, 1879. Mrs. Foster was
living entirely alone on her place,
With the exception of a negro servant,
who occupied a room in the back
yard. Charles Woods was her para
mour. On the night Of the murder
Woods was staying with the woman,
no one being on the premises except
the three. The woman testified that
Woods was in bed with her up to a few
moments before the time the murder
was committed, or that Woods left
her to go out a few moments after
she heard Mrs. Foster scream. The
witness however took all this back in
the next breath, All the evidences
though purely ciFcumstantial, was
very strong, and the county criminal
court found a verdict of guilty, and
sentenced Woods to be hanged.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court by Woods, through his counsel
and the decision Of the lower courl
not sustained, on the plea Of in
suficiency Of evidence, On a new
trial much the same evidence wa
adduced, a verdict of guilty pro.
nounced and Woods again sentenced
to be hung, the supreme cour.

The case came up again
yesterday. when the evidence was no
strengthened but weakened if any
thing. In consideration Of all tht
facts, the attorney general thought
useless to pursue the prosecution an.

in by Judge Horrigan. A verdict @

aroused number of Journals into
bitter denunciation of Mr. Gowen.

OK Wednesday evening the rail
road people at this place were order
ed to hold themselves IN readiness to
be sent to some point which was not
then designated Since thSn It has
been revealed that the object Of tue
order was to take them to Harris
burg, where a conflict of authority
h ID arisen between owners of a fur
n1ce and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company 1t appears that the fur
mace had been building a railroad
from the furnace to some point, not
definitely stated by those vino do not
know. The z. G. r. r. CO. ailege
that they were building the road on
the ground of the latter, and they
sent men to tear up the track. The
furnace authority increased their force
so did the railroad authority, until
nearly 500 men had been collected.
As fast as the railroad men carried
the ties and rails away the furnace
men carried them back, and every
once in while somebody would be
elbowed so hard that IA knockdown
took place, but during the whole fuss
no one was seriously hurt. Citizens
in the neighborhood became alarmed
for their safety, and called on the
Mayor of the city for protection.
The Mayor came on the ground
with a company of policemen, and
soon after the furnace authority and
the railroad authority concluded that
they would suspend the fight on the
road, and take the question into the
courts Just what the question to
q / icety is, cannot now be told.
