GrcumStamtiaI Evidence.

To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
The "Ciuverius case'' brings TO my mind
the following circumstance: Some few wears
before the late war, when the writer was a
child of or 10 years of age, he remembers
hearing bis father read in the papers Of a
murder that had been committed in or near
the town Of Freehold, Monmouth county,
NJ. 1t seems that man having a sum of
money in his possession, and stopping at q
tavern in those parts, was found one morn
ing dead in his bed, having been most
foully murdered and robbed. Suspic
ion pointed to q young man, strsn
ger, who had also lodged at the tavern
on the night of the murder and the land
lord was one of the principal witnesses. AT.
ter long trial the young man was convicted
of the murder and sentenced to be hung on
purely circumstantial evidence, he however,
protesting his iunocense all the time,
One night during the time between the
passage of the sentence aud the execution,
the prisoner effected his escape from his cell
and got into the jail yard, threw n rope to
the top of the wall, and was Just in the act
of climbing up, when he was attacked by
large dog belonging to the jailer, the noise
of which aroused the officers, and the pris-
oner WAS captured, and in due time hung,
and on the scat1old still protested his limo,
cence. and stated that time would prove
that they had hung an innocent man. Now
MIR. Editor all this made deep impression
on my youthful mind. l wcu'd eagerly
look for the papers from day to day to read
ell this, and of course it was for several
months filing the papers. Well, the war
interfered, and, some time afterwards. Il
don't RENE mber just the year, I read in q
paper an account of The death of the land
lord of the tavern, and while on his death
bed he made q full confession of having
committed the horrible deed, and of throw.
ing all the suspicion on the stranger. Doubt
less some of your readers may remem Der thu
case. BE sure your sin will End you cut"
Cuverius may be guilty. for one, thought
he was, and that he should be hung, but af
ter mature deliberation, I have changed my
opinion and think with many Others thai
bis sentence should be committed to i'm.
prisonment for life. Surely that is worse than
hanging if he is guilty, and it is @ terrible
thing to take the life of an innocent man.
especially on purely circumstantial evidence
Gov. Lee still has the power TO change the
sentence, and it is hoped that he will Item.

X. off. and the Catholic Church

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-A great deal OF inter
est is being taken by the Knights of Labor
in the case of Rev. Father McGlynn, of New
York. They are anxious, it is said, for 0
speedy decision in the matter so thatthe or.
der will know what to expect from the Cath.
oic church. Some of the Knights here say
that if the Catholics are expected to
leave the order, the church will be hurt
more than the Knights. They think their
order might receive setback if the church
should sit down upon it, but in such case
they would in time win much more than
they could lose, and would know whom to
fight in the future In an article in the or.
gan of the Knights, in which the labor and
Irish landlord questions are discussed in
connection with Father McGlynn, is the fol.
lowing paragraph:
when the church strikes at the leans OF
lie, and makes it an article of faith that
the tens of thousands of Irishmen must toll
and stsrve that an hundred English land
lords may live in idle luxury, it simply
drives the great masses Of the people out of
It's told. Life is struggle for existence,
anu when the church proposes to use the
religious sentiment and theological super
stlllon OF men to make the struggle hard for
thousands, while relieving the one from any
struggle, then is rung the death knell of any
church. Henry Georges theories can well
stand the anathema of the church, but the
church cannot afford to anatheihatize them"
