THE COURTS.
The Circuit Court.
THE MYERS CASE.

The somewhat notorious Myers, rape case
was taken up and disposed of in the Circuit
court this week. The trial began on Nom
day afternoon, and on Wednesday morning
the jury returned sentence Of five
years in the penitentiary.
The progress Of the trial illustrated the
oft garbed adage that the average gentleman
of leisure revels in nastiness, for during the
taking Of the necessarily revolving testimony
in the c9se, the court room was jammed
with these morbid seekers after the unclean,
who craued their necks forward, and pulled
the Sea Island cotton out of their ears, in
order that no syllable Of the choice testimO'
ny of the witness and no tear dropped by
the little complaining witness, might escape
them
Frances StockwaOrok, the complaining
witness who was neatly attired in black
and seemed to feel her position keenly, was
the principal witness for the prosecution.
She testified that she was seventeen years old
in January last. In December, 1887, when
fifteen years of age she had been employed
by man named Taylor, living near La
Sale, and when on her way home from his
house was halted by Myers, who told her
that his uame WAS Turner, and asked her to
20 and work for him as a domestic at his
home in the country. She agreed to do so,
and he said he would call for her on the
twenty third of the month She gave up
her place at Taylors, and on the twenty.
third Myers called for her Upon arriving
at Myers home in the evening she asked for
that his wife was out but would soon be
home. He then went out to do his chores
and she found that he had locked her in
That night he compelled her to yield to his
desires Next morning she escaped and
went to La Sale. but it was not for several
days after that she made her complaint and
had Myers arrested.
Myers told different tale He said that
his wife was away on visit and that Franz
els knew ii before she went home with him
lie claimed that she was bad woman, and
entered into the prosecution for the purpose
of securing large sum Of money from him.
The jury was out but short time its
verdict apparently having been made up
before it left the room.
