A we'll l-known citizen Of Albany relates
to New York paper an experience Of his
early life to illustrate the danger Of convic-
ton on mere circumstantial evidence. He
had had q lovers quarrel, known to her
family, with the lady who has been his
wife now for twenty years. One evening he
called upon her ana q reconciliation took
place. In the anxiety Of restored love and
confidence she expressed the fear that he
might be assaulted while passing through a
disorderly part OF the city while on his way
home, and to reassure her he took u pistol
from his pocket, teld her that he always
carried it, and was explaining its mechan-
ism, when it was accidentally discharged.
The girls parents rushed into the! room,
expecting to discover murder or suicide,
but fortunately no harm had been done, al
though the bullet grazed the girls face.
On his way home the lover threw his pis-
tol into tie river and has never since car
ried one. He thinks that any jury in Chris
tendon would have found him guilty o1
murder II he had killed his sweetheart, for
against lis unsupported denial the strong
est circumstantial evidence of q motive
could have been brought. - :~A
