ABBEvIILE IS. C.) November 1st-Jeh.
Davids, VINO was convicted of murder here ak
years ago, was to-day acquitted and set at
liberty. 1t is one of the most rernarkable
cases on record. Davids is a negro, 20 wears
old. He was convicted of the murder cf his
former master, an old white farmer, and has
maiden sister,. who lived near Iudogs
Springs, in this county. 1hs evidence upon
which tine accused was convicted was entirely
circumstantial, but pointed 30 clearly to the
accused as the slayer as to leave little room,
to dopbt his guilt. Since his consiction he
mounted the scaffold five times, prepared to
meet the penalty of the law for the
alleged offense. On one occasion the moose
was adjusted about his neck, and the
Sheriff stood ready to pull the trap and give
the fatal fall. Five minutes later this would
have been accomplished. but messenger,
covered with dust, galloped up to the spot
hallooing to the officers to hold on, as he
drove the rowels into his stsed. The respite
he bore from the Governor was received just
in the nick of time. Davi6s always per-
sisted in denying his guilt. He had remained
an inmate of the Jail so long that he had
come to like prison life. When he was &C.
quilted he bade the jailer fearful farewell.
The old man said he would rather continue
in custody, if it would be permitted. He
could not do 30, and left with manifestations
of regret.
