The Summit Sentinel is very de-
cided in it's condemnation of mob
which went to the house of colored
man named Jim Hill, living 4 miles
northeast of Summit on Thursday
night last, set fire to his fence, call
ed him out to attend the same and
riddled him with bullets. The
Sentinel is not informed. whether
The act was committed by white
men or negroes. At last accounts
Hill was still alive, though not
likely to recover. The perpetrators
of all such crimes should be dealt
with to the extent Of the law.

MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, it is simply
terrible. Such was the condition Of Geo.
w. Frampton, of Huntingdon, w. Va,
for eight years. He was a sufferer of ne
croses-that is, the leg bone at the ankle
was inhamed and mortified, which caused
running sores. He says: pieces of bone
the size of a silver three cent piece came
out Of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, and
was unable to walk. For eight years I
have been doctoring. had been under
the treatment of physician at Newport,
KY, for year; another at Burlington, o.,
attended me for three years. and doctor
here at Huntingdon worked with me for
long time. None Of them did me any
good, and they all finally said my case
was hopeless. A few months ago l COM

Mr.. All. Lusk, Wooster, Ohio, writes:
"DR. HARTMAN, Columbus, o. have

The election in Georgia, on the
End inst, was entirely one sided in
most Of the counties. There was no
opposition TO the Democratic State
ti,ket anywhere. Only about one
third Of the registered vote of the
State was polled and that was al
most soldiIly Democratic. The
Legislature elected will return
Joseph Z. Brown to the United
States Senate. The Independents
were defeated in Burke, Green and
other strongholds.

We learn that after the mobbing
of the four prisoners in the Franklin
county Jail aud the posting up of the
threatening notice to Judge Chris
man that if he did not clear out the
Jail, they would do it themselves.
yet in his charge to the grand jury
the Judge made no allusion to the
fearful crime and no attempt has
been made to punish the perretra-
tors. We know Judge Chlismon to
be just and fearless jadge, and il,
must have been that he saw an
evident impossibility of melting out
the law to them, or he would have
spared no effort. 1t is sad state OF
affairs when life, is held so cheap
and the law cannot be enforced. -
Kinds County Comet.
AS you have perhaps since noticed
in our Meadville correspondence,
Judge Chrisman did attach so much
importance to the lNnclling of the
four negroes as to make it the sub.
ject of separate charge to the
grand jury when they had concluded
their other labors, and called upon
them to signify by rising vote
whether they were willing to per
form their full duty in the matter.
However, ut is sad state of affairs
when life is held so cheap and the
law cannot be enforced" for after
all the efolts of the jury to discover
the perpetrators was fruitless.

The Trial of Brown Sullivan of
Meadvllle.
MEADvILLE, Oct. Sth, 1884.

DEAR LEADER:-On Monday, Sept.
2Sth, the case of the State VS.. Brown
Sullivan. charged with the murder
of William Freeman, near Union
Church, Jefferson county, was taken
up. The State was ably represented
by the District assisted by
Mr.. Hicks, promising young law
yer from Fayette. The defendant
was represented bv the best talent
the bar of the district affords. The
Hon. Mr.. Whitney from Fayetre
Sessions d. CASSIDY from Brock.
haven, W. z. Cassidy from Summit,
and j. j. PROXY of Meadville. This
was the most intensely interesting
trial that we have had in this coun.
ty for years. The inhuman brutality
Of the assassin, who ever he was,
and the fact that the State had to
rely alone on ci:cumstantial evi-
dence to sustain the prosecution,
gave additional interest to the trial.
The State succeeded in bringing
out a train of circumstances and so
connecting them as to point to the
accused with sufficient certainty 10
convince every disiuterested person
in the house that l have heard ex-
press an opinion and l have heard
many that the ACCUSED was guilty,
with the lone exception of the jury
who returned a verdict of not guilty.
Whether this verdict is right or
wrong is not for me to say-the
manner of obtaining the verdict is
what l obiectto to. The defense otfere d
no testimony oftheir own, and all the
power and talent Of defendants coun-
sci was concentrated on breaking
down the State witnesses. There
was not q single State witness who
testified to any material fact in the
case, but what was branded by de
PENDANTS counsel as perjured lar
| am not well acquainted with but
one of the State witnesses and him
Tom Erwin) | have known from
h"yhood. was with him in the
army for years, where if there is
anything wrong in man it is sure
to crop out. He was an excellent
soldier, had the entire confidence OF
his officers, and the love and esteem
of his comrades, and was Trustworthy
in everything. He must hav,
strangely degenerated since then
if his testimony was not true And
vet he came in for a full share of the
villfics ton and abuse that was
hcaped on tue State witnesses. A
strong effort was made to make it
appear that Robert Freeman was
his brothers murderer, and that
Tom Erwin assisted him ia conceal
ing the body. Now this is what /
object to, and DENY that it is legiti-
mate and right to destroy the char
acter of gool man to save from the
gallows a cowardly ana atrocious
murderer.
Now l wish it distinctly under
stood that l am not arraigning the
counsel in this case but the practice
that has crepL into the courts and
has become well-nigh universal.
No man can be convicted of a
henious crime if be has money to
employ able criminal lawyers to de-
fend him, and crime will 60 on in
creasing until different practice is
adopted in our courts. l promised
in my last communication to dis
cuss the mob question in this, but
this article is already long enough
and | reserve the mob for my next
communication. Dot.
