Sentenced for life.

conscientious men, after patiently lis
teninp to the evidence and the able
arguments of MeSsrs, Cross Il Jones for
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-
cused. was guilty of having murdered
the young woman Annie Rounds, and
to have thrown the mangled body into
the river, last,fall. off of the little trading
boat that was moored opposite the lower
end of the city.
The evidence elected before the jury,
though wholly circumstantial, was of
SO strong q nature, as to leave no doubt
IN the minds of its members thatno 9th
er than Alonzo Wells had committed the
bloody deed.
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 scutlle, the tbud of IN
ak striking human body, the groans OF
the victim, the splash Of the body when
it 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 after
wards untying the boat, when it passed
by another which contained two wit
nesSes. and when the west wind refused
to &llow it to do more than drift against
the shore to q short distance only from
it's moorings.
After the release of the sobered hnS
! band, who, finding that the boat was
missing, suspicioned foul play, and call
ed upon Sheriff Bates and Chief OF
Police Hilen, to aid him in recovering
it, Wells, finally, in response to repeat
ed knocks from these officers, opened thu
door from the inside of the cabin ant
was found alone with clothes freshly
put on, while those he wore, that day
were laying on the floor, wet as i
| Just washed, but bearing stains Of the
blood with which the floor almost from
end to end, was impregnated.
Every proof was given, save that o
producing an eyewitness of the darl
tragedy that had been enacted in tha
Inflated cabin
At the spring term of the District
Court, despite the evidence we hav,
related, the jury was hung and a mis-
trial occurred.
This time the jury was convinced, ant
and in the absence Of direct evidence
they decided to return sthe verdict o
guilty without capital punishment"
The decision IS looked upon rs right
eous and conscicntious-one which
chara3terizes the jurors as firm uphold
ers of the laws of man.
1t is unfortunate that the occasion
arose which demanded this punishment
