Unable young man who lived in

Major Mordecal Oliver, now Recor-
der of St Joseph, and the jury were
threatened. Soon afterward old
man Pointer died, it is said of
broken heart, and his family after
ward lived an isolated life.
Samuel Wetherton had brother
Francis, two years older than him-
self, who was the prime mover in
presenting Hunter. He drifted
about, working as a farm hand all
over the country A few months
ago a man full fifty years of age,
giving his name as Francis Weth-
erton, applied at the farm -hsuse of
John Singleton, living in Daviess
county, in that State, near Jameson,
for work. He was employed and
made a good, steady hand. He was
morOse, despondent, completely
broken In spirit and wretched.
About a week ago he was taken
suddenly i'll and grew rapidly worse.
A few days ago his physician in
lormed him that there was no hope
Sor him. A few hours later he call
I'd the Singleton family to bis bed
'ide and confessed that he was the
murderer of his brother, whom he
killed for jealOusly and for a few
lollars in money his brother had
lpon his person. He gave detail
ID account of the crime of thirty
ears ago and how he tried to put
t on Pointer. The fellow said his
ife had been one of great misery

NASHVILLE, May 13.-The trial
Of William Spence for the murder
Of his son law, Col. Edward S.
Wheat, terminated in the Criminal
Court to-day. The jury was out
about eight hours, and it was
thought they had disagreed. This
merning they brought in verdict
Of s'guilty of murder in the first de-
gree as charged in the Indictment.
The prisoner, whe is over sixty
eight years old, was visibly affected,
turned first red then pale, and tears
stood in his eyes. The verdict was
somewhat Of surprise, many be-
Iieving the defense bad proved in
sanity. Al motion for a new trial
was entered, but the general opin-
ion is that Judge Allen will not
grant the mstion as the case was
carefully tried and the jury was the
Judge of the sanity of the defendant.
An appeal to the Supreme Court
will be taken. No white man has
been hangediin this county for eigh-
teen years. aeia# 3a4 se rhs
