Remarkable Murder

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 6.-One of the
most remarkable murder cases ever record.
ed In this State is on trial In the Fayette
county criminal court. L. R. Smith was
employed last spring as a detective. He
arrested Jackson, the negro he killed, think.
ing he was murderer. He afterwards
learned that he was mistaken in his man.
In order to secure his reward Smith told
the negro he would release him if Jackson
would allow him to cut off one of his ears.
Jackson's ears ware marked similarly to
those of the negro wanted. The negro
agreed and the ear was cut of. Smith then
feared that Jackson would betray him and
determined to kill him. He gave him the
choice of hanging himself or being hanged.
The negro chose the former, and while pre-.
tending to search for suitable place, made
e break for liberty. Smith fred and the me-
gro fell. Smith left, believing him dead.
The negro lived, however, to tell the tale,
aud his dying statement is the principal
evidence.
