A FAMILY OF MuRDERERs.-The
convicti,n n of Grove Kennedy for mar
slauter, and verdict of twenty-oue years
in the penitentiary, announced from
Rock Castle, KY, mark the end of one
of Kentucky's celebrated criminal cases.
In February, 1877, Kennedy became in
volved in lawsuit with his uncle, Z. d.
Kennedy, which engendered bitter feel
ing. After the adjournment of the Court
at Lancaster one day, he took his station
in the vestibule, and as the old man came
out leveled his pistol and shot him
through the head. On his way to jail he
escaped from the guard, his wife standing
between him and their guns, and calling
on the officers to shoot her, but not her
husband. He was finally recaptured
and tried in December, 1877, but there
was no verdict. The next June he was
tried again, convicted, and sentenced to
Imprisonment for life. This sentence
was reversed by the Court of Appeals.
The case was then changed to Rock
Castle Circuit, where conclusion has
lust been reached. The Kennedy fam
ily is we'll connected and famous for its
fighting qualities. E. D. Kenndey, muir
dered by Grove, killed two men; Grove
killed two; another brother killed one /;
his brother-in-law killed negro, and
was pardoped by Governor Blackburn,
another brother-in-law attacked Sam
Conn, and in the fight both were killed; {;
Andy Kennedy, and half-brother,
Henry Yeaky, were both killed in per.
sonal encounters an illegitimate son of
E. D. Kennedy also killed his man.
Convictions followed several of these
murders, but pardons by the Governor
were secured in nearly all cases. 1t is
not thought that Grove Kennedy will
serve out his term.

IS that charged fire accused only as prin.

as that charged tl.e acctiscf only aH prn-
cipal.
The Court said that ali ;be prisoners had
pleaded the defence usually known as ar7
alibi, anu that an aibi, though occasionally
attempted to he wrongfully use,l. WIS, il
proved. good defence; that the delelrcc
was one uf fact, and the character of the
parties and tiiCir witnesses were known TO
the Jury; that the defence had to be made
out by the party pleading it. the burden of
proof being on him; that il the defence
were proved to the satisfaction of the jury
for any one Of the prisoners lie should be
acquitted.
The Court then instructed the jury in the
csae of Ellison, saying if they believed his
confession With other testimony proved his
guilt. that lie was sufficiently near whcu
the burning was done to aid his associates
if aid were tIect!cd, and the defence of an
alibi not sustained by proof they should
find him guilty, but that If they believed
his guilt not satisfactorily proven, or that
he was not near enough to ail his associ-
ates, or if his defence of al aIibi was slIs-
tained by proof they should find him not
guilty-nny one of the alternatives, if deci-
ded in his favor, being sufficient for acluit-
tai.
The JEdge's charge was listened to with
profound attention by the jury and the
large and deeply interested audience which
crowded the Court room during its dclivc-
~, and at its conclusion the bill of i'll
dictment was delivered to the foreman of
the jury, who, with his associates, retired
to the jury room at II o'clock p. M, and
there deliberated upon the case until about
G o'clock, when they returned with YER
dict of not guilty for all the accused.
Thus ended one of the most interesting
rs well US important CASES ever tried before
the Anderson Court.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1880-02-26

son Board of Trade and not the Town
Council, they could not be held responsible
for the loss, and it seems that it was upon
this ground that the jury based their YER
dict.
The fine merchant mill and cotton gin of
Mr.. E. G. Winginton, situated in Brushy
Creek township in this county, was entire
ly consumed by fire on Friday night of last
week. The burning was evidently the work
of and incendiary, as it occurred at one
o'clock in the night, and the fire burned
from two portions of the building. It is
entirely unaccountable, as Mr.. Wiginton is
most excellent gentleman, and was not
known to have an enemy in the world.
His loss is heavy one, reaching three or
four thousand dollars, which was uninsur-
ed. We hope the perpetrator Of the crime
will be ferretted out and punished with the
uttermost severity of the law. Incendiary
fires are becoming entirely too frequent in
this State.
We are panied to record the death of Mrs.
Francis Anderson, wife of Mr.. R. Q. An
derson, of Broadway township, which sad
event occurred on Monday last, in the 43d
year of her age, after an illness of a week or
ten days. Up to Saturday, 14th instant,
Mrs. Anderson had enjoyed her usual
health, when she received o slight stroke of
paralysis, which was followed on Friday
last by another stroke much severer than
the first, and which resulted in her death
on Monday. She was daughter of the
late Robert Smith, who was well known to
our older citizens as one of the best and
foremost citizens of Anderson County dur
ing his life. She was lady Of refinement
and culture, eminently pious, consistent
and devout member of the Presbyterian
Church, and was highly respected and
greatly beloved by all who knew her. Her
remains were inferred in the Presbyterian
graveyard at this place on Tuesday after
noon after impressive funeral services con-
Quoted by Dr. Frierson. Her husband and
eleven children, together with her mother
and several sisters and brothers. and many
other relatives mourn her death.

What Our pelegation Accomplished.


During the recent session of the Legisla-
ture the following bills were introduced by
the Anderson delegation, and have become
laws:
BY Col. Mattison-An Act to further pro-
vide for drainage in Anderson and other
counties, which requires the County COM
missioners to see that the law requiring
creeks and rivers to be cleaned out twice a
year is complied with.
BY Mr.. Murray-An Act to facilitate the
completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad, of
which Q synopsis is published on another
page.
An Act to amend the Act providing for
the construction of Canal in the city of
Charleston, intended to enable the State
authorities to contract for furnishing stone
to parties in Charleston.
An Act to charter the Anderson and
Easley Railroad Company, intended to
connect with, and form part of, the At
lantic and French Broad Valley Railroad.
An Act to require Circuit Solicitors to at
tend the sessions of the General Assembly
and assist in drawing Bills, engrossing and
enrolling Acts, and requiring them to GER
tify to the correctness of the work, the OBJ
ject of which is to prevent the recurrence of
the mistake which occurred in the Supply
Bill and required the late extra session.
In addition to this Mr.. Murray and Mr..
Richardson, of Horny, had special drain
age Act passed for Anderson and Horny
Counties providing for the ditching of bot
tom land, which will be published for the
benefit of our readers soon.
Col. Crayton, in the Senate, had resolu-
ton passed authorizing the Directors of the
Savannah Valley Railroad to postpone the
collection of the taxes voted, if they see
proper to do so.
In addition to this the Anderson delega-
ton effected number Of important amend
ments to several measures which became

kind; Ellison said to Mr.. Anderson, in
my presence, that those men who are in
dicted were with him that night when
the house was burned, and said the same
thing at the trial, with the addition that
he came through the woods and went
hack through the woods; he also said
that it was very near day when he got
home; at the trial Esquire Pinson warn
ed him that he was not required to GRIM
mate himself; Ellison said he wanted to
tell it, and then repeated what he said in
the spring yard.
Cross-examined: The reason that I
did not let him confess to me was that I
always make it a rule to do so /; I will
not be witness in case that work up
if I can help it did not tell Mr.. ELF
son that he would be killed if he did not
confess; if I had it would have been q
lie, for would not have allowed it; my
pay for detecting does not depend upon
my success.
DR.. Epting, sworn, says: live at
Williamson; was at the preliminary
hearing of Ellison; Mr.. Pinson told him
he must not criminate himself: he said
he was not guilty; Mr.. Gray asked him
if he did not tell Mai. Anderson, Bladon
and other parties that certain parties had
done it; he said, Yes, but 1 ought not
to have done so;" he said when the
firing was done he was in the railroad
cut, and that the others went on and did
the firing Of the house; the Esquire said
something about arresting the others,
when l said that there was not enough
evidence; ESQUIRE Pinson then said,
"Yes, Ellison has made clean breast OF
its" said to Ellison that it was noble
for man to confess doing wrong; Eli
son then said he returned by the grave
yard.
John Bladon, sworn, says: I live at
Williamson moved there from Edge
field county about seven years ago; was

officer, but was asked to go along went
