and poked them through cracks, while
Smith stood guard at the door breathing
curses ON his besiegers and threatening to
shoot the first man who entered. Smith
kept them at bay, and managed to slip
through hole in the floor and escape.
The party finally seized an opportunity
and burst in the door, wrenched the guns
from the hands of the women, and took
them before Justice Pope, who put them
under bond. Smith has not been captured.
He is one of the worst negroes in that
part of the country. One of his last ad-
ventures was IN another mans confield,
which resulted in sentence OF twelve
months on the Island.

Story of Carrie Atkins.

About year ago Carrie Atkins, a
beautiful young girl, fifteen years Of
age, was attending boarding school in
Memphis, Tennessee. Her parents
reside in Chattanooga, and are said to
rank high in society. While Carrie
was attending school, she, with other
girls became addicted to flirting"
with the young men. In this way
she became acquainted with one of
Haverly's Minstrels, who persuaded
her to run away with him. They
went to Canada, where he soon became
tired Of her, cast her off, and after
wandering around for year, she was
discovered last week in low bagnio
in Cincinnati. Large rewards had
been offered by her heart-broken pa
rents for information as to the cause
Of her disappearance. A few days ago
a young man who knew her in Chat
tanooga entered the den where she
was staying, and fearing that he
would tell her folks of her where
abouts and condition, she wrote to her
mother telling her all, and asking for
giveness. The mother Immediately

get his moneys worth by becoming
beastly and a prey for the police, or a

No, but the "well-fed, moderate

started to bring the erring child home.
Carrie Atkins is but sixteen, and is
described as very beautiful, yet no
matter what may be her mode Of liv-
ing hereafter, the cloud upon her
young life will only thicken with ad-
vancing years, and a returning OF
consciousness Of her terrible mistake.
The loving and forgiving mother will
take the blighted young life to her
bosom and nurse it, like a faded flow
er, finding joy in the remembrance of
the purity and beauty it once had.
but the joy Of Carrie Atkins life is
gone forever. In world where scam
dial is ever ready to start the most
damaging reports about innocent la
dies and persist in repeating them,
until life is made miserable for the
slandered ladies, there is not much
hope for any charity to one who IS
willing to confess her fault. Yet the
murderous scoundrel who lured this
beautiful child to ruin, like the mur-
derous scoundrels who are ever anxious
to repeat the seandalous reports con-
corning innocent ladies, will continue
to be received into good society, con-
tinue to be recognized as an equal by
men Of respectability, and will feel

The trial of Laban Stevens, has
caused good deal of excitement dur
ring the past week, and the prompt
ness with which the jury brought in
a verdict Of guilty" may have aston
ished defendants attorneys, but it
certainly did not astonish any one else.
1t is not always proper for the press
to mix into the trial of cause at law,
but we may be excused for making a
few remarks, in general way, with
regard to this case.
Laban Stevens has had two trials,
entailing large expense upon the
County he has been defended by
Messrs. Atkinson and Tripp, who have
few, is any, superiors among the young
lawyers of Southern Ohio and after
a fair trial and vigorous defense in
each case, twenty-three men-good
jurymen, too,-have said upon their
oaths that he is guilty of murder in
the first degree-the only dissenting
juryman being willing to return YER
dict of manslaughter. There seems
to be no doubt in the mind of any man
conversant with the law and the evi-
dence, that Stevens was the head devil
in the whole horrible business, and
that William Jones told the exact
truth upon the witness stand, as he
corroborated the other witnesses on
all material points, and the defend
ants attorneys could not shake his
testimony in any particular.
The confessions of Luke and Will
liam Jones place Luke Jones and
Stevens in Lackey's house. 1t will be
remembered that Mrs. Lackey's testi-
mony was that one Of the men was
considerably taller than the other.
Luke and William Jones are very near
the same height, but Stevens is not so
tall as Luke. If William Jones tes-
timony be taken as true-and nobody
seems able to successfully deny its
truth-the second shot fired at Ander-
son Lackey, the doubly cowardly and
murderous shot at the already slain
man, which struck a rib, not far from
Luke's shot, and near the heart was
fired by Laban Stevens. 1t is not
probable that a jury Of intelligent men
could not be found, in the State Of
Ohio, who would not promptly convict
Stevens upon the testimony presented
at this trial.
