Court was given out about noon. 1t was
received with some surprise, and with
disgust by some of the people of Cor.
ham, and the prosecuting officers, who
did not relish the idea of going through
the long and tedious trial again.
Messrs. Soldiers and Chase, counsel for
Lewis, did not express surprise, as they
had all along expressed great confidence
that their efforts would be successful.
They received many congratulations of
course.
Since the first trial there has been one
change in the situation The young man
Coleman, who was employed as a farm
hand by Coburn at the time of the
murder, and who was a witness in the
other trial, is now dead, having been
killed in brawl in Massachusetts. He
was not, however, a very important wit
ness. His testimony fixed the time of
the blowing of whistle, and SO was of
value in determining the approximate
time of the murder. But his testimony
was as valuable to the defense as the
government.
Messrs. Soldiers and Chase objected to
the judges charge, on the grounds that
it was argumentative and prejudicial to
the respondent; it singled out one wit
ness from all the others for unfavorable
comment; it submitted for the considera-
tion of the jury the result of verdict of
not guilty, question which they had no
right to consider, in making up their
verdict it limited the force and operation
of the presumption of innocence; it with
drew entirely from the jury the question
of degree; it expressed an opinion in the
case which was not warranted by the
evidence; it assumed that certain confess
sions and admissions were made, when,
in fact, they were denied in toto by
GRAHAM; it assumed exclusive opportuni-
ty when there was no evidence in the case
adequately set out the Importance of
proving motion in case depending up
on circumstantial evidence; it narrowed
the inquiry to the conviction of the
prisoner, regardless Of possible over
whelming evidence duplicating some
other person.
The Court considered the above ex-
cept1ons, and while they might not have
sustained each separate point, they found
enough of the exceptions well taken to
justify setting aside of the verdict and
the granting of new trial.

"When | was in Nebraska near
the Snake river, north of the Great
Sand Hill, in 1852" said a Lew
iston citizen, "We had four camps,
situated about eighteen miles apart,
and to 90 from Thorne's camp to
Durham's camp it was necessary
to 90 through long piece of pine
woods. For q number OF months
every one who had gone through
the woods alone had never came
back. One day it was necessary
that | should 90 through with lot
of money and no escort, and | set
out on a horse that | got from a
stable kept near Thorne's camp.
When | had nearly reached the
woods, five miles out, my horse
was taken i'll and refused to 90 on.
Clearly, to my medical eye, it had
been poisoned slightly by some
one. Soon what looked like a hun

the stable if | would leave his
horse with a trapper near Durham
camp. | ought to have seen through
this, but | did not. got on to the
powerful horse of the stranger and
started through the five miles of
woods. Half way through, without
apparent reason, the horse broke
into a trot, gallop and finally a
run, and, dashing off the trail
through the woods, picked his way
among the trees as nicely as if he
had gone that way q hundred times,
"Pull as | would at the bride, he
paid no attention, but ran the
faster. When he had leaped a brook
and landed Oh the sand beyond,
the marks of footprints alarmed
me and | slipped off at the risk Of
my life. He ran on up ravine,
and hid, fearing that twas trap,
as it afterward proved. In little
while three men, armed with rifles,
came back on the trail, one riding
the horse, now as calm as a Lamb.

got out to the camp.

lowed a man who had hired a
horse at the same place | did. 1t
was taken i'll, and the same trapper
came along on the same horse.
When the horse dashed into the
woods, as he had been trained to
90, ninteen Of US dashed after him
and finally arrived at the mountain
camp ofthe robbers. We took every
man seven of them and, well! law
