The Mosby Killing.

The killing Of w. S. Mosby,
which occurred at Mexico last week,
has been the all-absorbing topic
here the past week, and has been
fully discussed in all its bearings.
Although the testimony at the
coroner's inquest was against the
deceased, and presented the matter
in as bad a light as possible, yet
there are circumstances that point
to developments then withheld
and that will yet be brought to
light in due time. The hasty and
incomplete manner in which the
coroner's jury examined witnesses
in regard to the killing, would in
dictate upon their part at least
thoughtlessness or Importance, if
not criminal carelessness. This is
evident from the fact that the two
men who we're first called to view
and identify the body, were not
called to testify as to the hour or
the condition of the body when
viewed by them-all of which
might have had an important bear
ing upon the testimony of the tslay-
er, Stephenson, and his wife, the
only witnesses brought before the
jury. However, this evidence
may not have been admissible, in
a coroner's examination. though it
would, and likely will be in a high
er court. Recent developments
which we r not here at liberty
tc give-justify the friends of the
deceased in askinga full and fair
investigation of the entire affair.
This is all they ask-a fair hear
ing, the facts in the case, and
simple justice. The develop
ments referred to, will place the
matter in an entirely different
light, and will partially, if not
completely exhonorate the deceas-
ed from all suspicion of immoralI-
ty or improper motives in the pre-
misses. Those who knew w. S.
Mosby-his standing here and at
Mexico-are 10th to believe him
guilty ofthe improperly that it is
sought to reflect upon him, and
would be glad for the sake of his
memory-the sake of his worthy
relatives here-that the case be
given a fair and impartial hearing,
and the blame for the unfortunate
affair placed where it properly be-
longs. His voice is forever hush
ed, and cannot be heard in defense
of his character, his good name;
and we should all at least extend
to his memory that charity that
we would ask for our own under
like circumstances. From a knowl-
edge of the man, and from the
latest developments in the case,
1T is not unreasonable to suppose
that were it possible for him to
speak in his own defense, he could
make the matter as clear as the
light of day, and thus free his
memory from the obliquity that it
has been sought to east upon it.
