Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-08-30

The Chattanooga Times relates sad story
of an insane woman with three small chill
dren, who passed through that city Sunday,
being brought to her relatives at Knoxville,
it says. According to the story, her maiden
name was Annie Akaman, the only daugb-
ter of wealthy DeKalb County planter.
She married a handsome, penniless stranger
named Allen, who became a slave to drink,
and wasted his wife's fortune, adding to this
atrociously cruel treatment to his wife, and
when all was gone, deserted her, leaving
three helpless children on her hands. She
was driven insane and confined in the asy-
lum at Nashville, staying there till she was
pronounced cured She was then taken
back to Tullahoma, TO her children, but
soon became again deranged. A brother
of her husband accompanied her, says the

Star Route Cases.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-In the
Criminal Court to-day, Mr. Merrick,
of the counsel for the government in
the Star Route cases, concluded his
argument. Referring to the "Ojo
Calieute" route, he said he thought
he had showed Dorsey's connection
with it and the corruption which
characterized it. All the other
routes were initiated for the same
criminal purposes, conducted
through their various stages by the
same infinite variety of criminal
devices; by petitions, some of which
were forged, and by afidavits that
were manifestly untrue on their face.
He commented upon the policy of
the defense in referring to the sol
diers' and the flowers and the
''graves," instead of devoting them>
selves to the consideration of the
case. If there was evidence, let
them talk about the facts-not
about soldiers graves and widows
tears. The country remembered
the soldier, but let the courts panish
the guilty.
Mr. Merrick then devoted some
time to the consideration of the
routes, going to show that the dis
tribuiion of the routes among the
defendants in April, 1879, was not
the end Of the conspiracy. The de
PENDANTS continued to act together
and for one another, to defraud the
government the same as they had
before. Passing on to the testimony
of the witness Walsh, he said that
it had not been and could
not be controverted. He reviewed
it In detail, answering the objections
of the defense and pointing to the
consistency and probability of the
story and facts which corroborated
1t. He compared the contradictory
statements of Buell. and Walsh,
much to the disadvantage of the
+, rmer, and contradlctlng the man
ner OF the two men on the stand,
asked the jury which they would be-
heve, Wash s testimony, sustained
as 1t WAS, Or Buell's testimony as con
tradicted by himself. He referred
to Brady great wealth and his abil
ity to purchase newspapers, which
were notoriOusly expensive lnXurles
to own, and asked where Brady OBJ
tanned this sudden wealth, and what
| he proposed to do with two newspas
pers, unless to use them in seif>de>
| tense when called to account for his
official acts.
After reviewing the arguments of
the opposing counsel and answering
the questions and objections raised
by them, Mr. Merrick, in conclusion,
SID the other side had appealed
to the sympathy of the jury. He
would have them cold as icicles. If
he had pea to interpose at all, it
was plea for his country, and for
the preservation of her institutions.
Iu the name of the people of the
United States, and of her government;
in the name OF honesty and honor,
and Of the supremacy of law and
right over vice and criminality, he
demanded a verdict of guilty against
these defendants.
MIR. Wilson rose to reply to Mr..
Merrick, but had hardly begun his
argument when court adjourned.

Mahomedan children Troops are
still patrolling the streets. The
Mahomedans are a small minority of
the population.

Special Dispatch to the Chronicle.

Special Dispatch to the Chronicle.
JoNEsBoRo, Aug. %.
The candidates for Governor spoke
here to-day. Gov. Hawkins opened
at II o'clock, and spoke one hour
and a half. The court>room was
crowded and the audience was about
evenly divided between the parties
The Governor reviewed national
affairs and showed the progress of
the country under Republican ad-
ministrations.
His discussion Of the State debt
question was able and convincing.
He refuted and showed in their true
light, many of the misrepresentation
of the Readjusters, and made many
happy hits, which brought down the
house repeatedly. He said the Re,
publican party was the only party in
Tennessee, that could be found in
the same place two years in success
sion. The people of Tennessee recog
nized higher obligation than
those found IN their pocket books,
and would keep their sacred
promises. He would like to discuss
platforms with General Bate, but
that gentleman was scudding over
the State, two days in advance of
him.
Fussell's remarks on the four>mile
plank in his platform made big
stir and did considerable execution
in the Bate ranks. He charged that
Bate was the candidate of whisky
ring. He is bound to make votes
wherever he goes.
Governor Hawkins speech arous,
his party friends and demoralized the
opposite party. General Bates
friends are sore over his absence.
