A Remarkable Case.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. June

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June IL.
A singular case was disposed of in the
Criminal Court Friday. A man named
John Smith was fatally stabbed on the levee
Sept. 25, 1881, and in due time Michael
Welsh was convicted of the murder and
sentenced to be hanged. He obtained new
trial, but apparently fearing the result
pleaded guilty to a charge of murder in the
second degree, and went to the
pententiary for ten years. Subsequent
ly testimony was discovered which
led to the belief that his confession and
plea Of guilty were simply device to save
his neck, and that the real murderer was
John Nelson. There has been considerable
conflicting testimony as to the identity of the
murderer in the first trial, and Smith, before
he died, had positively denied that Welsh
was the man who cut him. However, after
Welsh was in the penitentiary, Nelson was
arrested. His trial closed Friday, and the
jury found verdict of murder in the sec,
ond degree, fixing the punishment at twenty
years in the penitentiary. Welsh is still in
prison.
