Death OF Isabella jackson AMER
Giving False Testimony.

One Of those strange visitations Of
the wrath of God upon mankind iol
evil deeds, which occasionally stir the
hearts of a community, occurred about
sixteen miles east Of this city, on Sat.
urday evening last. The awful mys.
terry has greatly excited the people o.
all classes residing in the vicinity Of
its occurrence
On Friday last a colored man named
James Price was on trial before ESQ.
Allen, whose ofise is on the
Macon road between Germantown
and Bartlett. The mar had
been beating a number Of women
in the ueighborhOod, and a woman
named Isabella jackson was placed on
the witness stand to tell what she
knew Of the matter.
Justice Allen discovered that the
woman was not telling the truth, be-
fore she had gone far with her testi-
mony. The Justice put the question
to her, DO You not know you are
lying2" and the witness answered
plainly, "Yes, sir"
These were the last words Isabella
Jackson ever spoke. She had
appeared quite Independent
aud to some extent impudent,
when first put upon the stand, After
her last remark a number Of questions
were asked, but the woman made nc
reply. Believing she was shamminG,
the Justice directed Constable W. Il
Allen to escort the witness from the
court room, but when ordered to fol-
low that officer she did not move.
Two men Of her own color we're then
told to carry her out Of the room.
While In the act OF carrying out the
woman it was observed that she was in
a helpless condition. She had been
paralized in every part. Her limbs
were motionless, her tongue had no
power, and it soon became apparent to
all present that the hand of the
Almighty had been laid heavily upon
her.
For two hours or threabouts the
woman remained in this passive state,
after which she was placed in a wagon
aud conveyed to her home. She never
moved or spoke after, but on Saturday
evening she expired, no antidote APP
piled during the interval having
availed in affording the slightest relief.
The incident is verified by Esq. Allen,
before whom the woman appeared, and
also by a number of persons present at
the time Of its occurrence.
