The trial of Taylor Carey, the colored man
who, on the 28th Of December last, murdered

set for next week. 1t is generally understood
that insanity will be set up as defense, and

1t is a singular fact that almost every muir

matter how sickly he was at the time Of
arrest, has managed to get stout during his
incarceration. There are now in the Jail three
murderers who have been convicted and are
awaiting their death sentence. They are
benjamin Hawkins, the wife-murderer; Louis
williams, who killed ex-Policeman Alder; and
Frederick Barber, who killed Agnes Watson.
In the Barber case the prisoner was convicted
