The Eossett Case.

CONVICTION, March 25.-lSpecial. There
are no new Developments in the Fossett at
tempted wife murder case, that occurred at
Hillsboro last Friday, an account Of which was
in THE SENTINEL last Saturday. While Mrs.
Fossett is badly wounded, it is thought that
she will get well. The corset saved her life.
Her husband aimed one shot that would have
proven fatal had not the corset protected her.
THE SENTINEL correspondent visited FOssett
in Jail this morning, but he refuses to say any
thing at all about the affair. He is rather a
fne-looking man, twenty-eight years old, while
his wife is but nineteen. They were married
Nov. last. He had been a miller but was
thrown out of employment by the sale
of the mill. His young wife, it is said, at
the request of her mother. refused TO go on a
farm with him when he was compelled to so in
order to make living The feeling against
him is dying out to certain extent, though he
is certainly sure of term in the penitentiary.
