The Crime with which Two Georgia boy
Are Charged.

S,ynyRsyrrLE. Ga, March 11.-Washing-
ton county. one of the oldest wealthiest ana
most aristocratic counties Of the State Is now
in the tbroes of one OF the greatest ana most
absorbing criminal trials IN It's law-DreaAing
history. In October last eight trestles and
BRIDGES were burned on the Georgia Central
road between Sun Hill and Oconee. W. IL.
II and Frederick Horton. two boys VINO are
known throughout the country and whose
blood mingles with that OF the best ID tniS
section of the State are on trial charged Win
burning those bridges.
A few weeks before the bridges were burned
a brother OF the Horton boys, a man nained
Thornton and another named Brasweil were
arrested charged with rObbing an exRress-cAr
at Golfers station on the Central. The men
all confessed 10 the robbery Immediately after
their arrest and were placed IN jail IN Atlanta
Soon after that the Atlanta Constitution re-
ceiyied several letters demanding the release
of Brasswell, Horton and Thornton. beslues
ordering the release the letters threatened
that unless the release was given the express
cornnanv would suffer heavily: that the rail
road was 10 be greatly damaged and tnat many
hundred lives would be sacrificed. -,
The missives we're filed with blood-curdling
threats. ON the night the last letter reached
the Constitution Office and Just as the paper
was going 10 press the eight bridges were
burned. and until they could te rebuilt the
Central roads business was blocked.
The railroad officials and express people pe-
came alarmed aud began 10 search tor the
criminals. The letters 10 the CONSTITUTION
were taken as leading clue and working
from that detectives soon found evidence
which warranted the arrest Of W. II. II. hor
ton and Fred. Horton.
The trial opened Yesterday. The court
room was crowded. the leading people OF tn'
county being present The case VIII PROD

IrEUr. nErHERINaToN's EXCUSE.
His Justification for the Shooting of Cover
KobInsOn.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 1l.-Letters
have been received from Lieutenant Hether-
ineton and other officers Of the Marion which
confirm the published accounts of the killing
of Robinson at Yokohama and SAY that heth-
erineton has ample proof that he was justified
I'm shooting Robinson. II is also alleged that
there is evidence that Robinson had arranged
an elopement with Mrs Hetherington.
In an interview al Dubuque last night ex-
Senator Knight raised the point whether
Lieutenant HetherngtOn can be lawfully
tried in the consular court IN Japan;
whether he can be tried by other than a
court having IL grand and petit Jury.
Mr. Knight queries as to whether by our
treaty with Japan. judicial control and luris-
dietiOn over American citizens IN Japan IS re-
served to this Government. the latter can
proceed against Iietherngton in any diner
ent manner than if the crime had been com
nitted within the territorial limits OF the
United States.
As Congress has made no provision Tor the
trial Of such a case ns this one in the ordinary
way of our judicial procedure, Mr.. knight Is
inclined 10 the opinion that the Lieutenant
cannot be tried at all and must go free. lie
saws this could be immediately tested 10y
babeas corpus proceedings in the Supreme
Cont OF the United States, and believes that
in such a proceeding Iietherington would be
discharged.
