conscientious men, after patiently lis
tening to the evidence ana the apie
arguments of Messrs Cross " Jones Tor
the defense, and of District Attorney
George w. Buckner for the State, unan-
imously agreed, almost upon reaching
their room, that Alonzo Wells, the ac'
eused, was guilty of having murdered
the young woman Annie Rounds, ana
to have thrown the mangled body into
the river, last,faIl, off ofthe little trading
boat that was moored opposite the lower

The accused had been seen entering
the boat, while the husband who was
intoxicated and had the keys in his
pocket, was under temporary arrest at
the jail,
The noise of scutile, the thud of an
ok striking human body, the groans OF
the victim, the splash of the body when
if was thrown into the turbid waters OF
the Mississippi, all had been heard soon
after Wells entry into the little cabin
Then he had been seen shortly alter
wards untying the boat, when it passed
bv another which contained two wit
ne,ses, and when the west wind refused
TO allow it to do more than drift against
the shore to short distance only IRON
its moorings.
After the release Of the s0bered nus
band, who, finding that the boat was
missing, suspicioned foul play, and call

Police Hilleu, to aid him in recovering
it, Wells, finally, i'll response to repeat
