It is usual in cases of murder for the
Court to instruct the jury that, if certain
facts are presented, verdict of man
slaughter may be rendered, and he de-
fines what manslaughter is. But in this
case Judge Van Fleet said nothing about
this degree of the crime, much TO the sur
prise Of the attorneys for the defense.
irhe latter had little hope of freeing
Haqgerty entirely, and depended upon
letting him oil with a sentence of i'm
Drisonment for manslaughter.
Judge Van Fleet explained TO the attor-
news, after the trial, that, under the evi-
lence, il would have been impossible for
him 70 have incorporated manslaughter
in the charge. Under the evidence. the

Yesterdays RESULTS AT GUTTENBURc
GENERAL JOSEPH {. JOHNSTON.
The Ranking ex-COntederato General at
thc sherman Funeral.

General Joseph +. Johnston. in spite Of
his eighty-Odd years, Is seen in the various
drawing-rooms of the capital, where he
shows the alertness and military carriage
equal TO the youngest officers. Heis quiet
and seii-cUntalned, but his mind is as clear
and strong as in his best DAYS He was a
devoted friend Of General Sherman, TO
whom he surrendered. General Sherman
had for him an almost boyish affection.
For several years General Johnston was
at the head Of the Bureau of Pacific
Railroad Accounts in the Interior Depart
ment. General Sherman used 20 carry his
hatred Of politics to such a degree that he
would never ask any one in the Govern
ment bureaus TO grant him favor But
one Of the last favors that he ever asked
for any one was az the hands of the Interior
Department. He went there in person and
asked Secretary Noble if he could not re-
tam General Johnston rs commissioner of
railroads. The General said with charac-
terlstic buntness that he was not in the
habit Of asking many favors, but this was
one that he had much at heart. He thought
that it was kindness due To General john
stOn. / am sure that there was no more
sincere mourner at the Sherman funeral IN
New York than this former Confederate
chieftain, Joseph L. Johnston, OF Virginia.

NKwcAsrLE. VA, February 2o.-Tho noto-
rious Alexander alias Deaf " Tucker,
whose nickname originates from the fact
that he is really deaf aud dumb, was ar
rested this morning OF o'clock at ms
home about ten miles from this place, near
the top OF the Allegheny mountains. More
than a year ago he was convicted OF killing
J. III. Helms
MOUNTAIN FORTRESS.
Pending the execution Of the sentence
by the and Of his wife who was loyal 20
him and an Amazon in a fight, no escaped
from jail. Since then bis mountain home
has been as q fortress. his children even
being on the alert TO prevent capture.
Many attempts have been made by both
the officers Of the law and private citizens,
but all were futile from the fact that his
unerrine Winchester, from the least sus-
pected places. forcibly warned all that it
was dangerous, il 1t was not deadly, TO
come within its range. Backed up by his
brother John. who has not been arrested,
he was monarch Of all he surveyed"
CAPTURED.
Ten days ago Detectives W. H. Hays and
W. ]. Lapier aliqs Kentucky Bill" of the
Eureka Agency, Charleston, w. Va, ar
rived upon the scene as "tramps,' Sc
curing the confidence and services Of Con-
stable Lewis Scott. They laid their plans
for the capture Of Tucker, which was
finally accomplished.
A PROBABLE VENDETTA.
KENTUCKY Bill" is supposed 70 be killed,
and parties arenow searching for his body.
fuckers wife and daughter defended him
70 the last. and il is feared that another
Hatfield-McCoy vendetta may result, as
his brother John and the remainder of the
family are represented as being desperate.
THE OUTLAW WOUNDED.
The prisoner is now in jail here wound
ed, but 10 what extent the surgeons, Doe
tors Coder. Morgan, and Hoge, are not
able TO SOW. He Is about fifty years OF age,
of fine physique. and good intellect. l
am informed that several murders COM
mitted heretofore are indirectly connected
with him, but sufficient proof could not
be gained to bring him to the bar of JUS
tice.
GENERAL BELIEF FELT.
Great relief is felt by the com munity
generally at the capture Of this despera-
do, and hundreds visited the jail this
morning to look at the man who for years
had been as a dead shot-a terror to all.
