THE SIGMAN CASE.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Many of your
readers are interested in the trial Of Comrade
j. L. Sigman, who was arrested in this town
the 25,h day Of last December for the alleged
murder Of Higginbottom, committed in Rock
castle County, KY, in 1861. i am receivin &
many inquiries concerning his case and what
came Of il, and desire 20 briefly give a synopsis
OF the proceedings OF the same 20 date.
The case was first called at the March Term 4,
al which time, owing TO the absence of wit
nesses, the attorneys for the defense had the
case continued until the August Term, when
IL was again continued, by motion Of the prose-
cuton 20 be tried at the October Term. A
letter from Thos. u. Morrow Department Com
mander Of Kentucky aud attorney for the de-
fense) and J. X. McClay, informs me that the
trial came of, and after hotly-contested bat
tie the jury fail 20 agree, standing eight for
acquittal and four for conviction of man.
slaughter, the penalty for which would have
been two years in the State penitentiary.
Sigmau has been admitted 10 bail in the sum
of $1,000, which he gave, and is now at liberty
until the next term Of the court. Our attor-
neys apprehend no trouble, at the next trial OF
clearing him. The back bone Of the prosecution
is evidently broken, and il is hardly possible
for them 10 hold out against the defense and
the wonderful changes i'm public sentiment in
favor of Sigman. The array Of attorneys for
/ the prosecution was formidable indeed, some
seven or eight Of the leading lawyers of the
State being employed and any amount OF
wealth 10 back il, while Sigman had only th,

members Of the GAR. 30 pay his attorneys
and other expenses To the many who hav,

money has been expended unwisely, and every
old soldier should feel that il was a generou
impulse which prompted them TO come 10 thu
