In One Instance an Innocent Man Was Sem
fenced to BE Hanged.
In a recent paper appeared an account
of q strange accident in which a man
was killed by the discharge of a gun
while lying asleep on a lounge in his
room. the weapon being discharged by
reflected rays of the sun falling upon
the cartridge chamber of the tirearm.
Sincs the publication of the story q
correspondent from York, Pa, writes
concerning the accident and refers to a
similar case, in which, through the eff
forts of a clever Cincinnati lawyer
named G. c. Wallis, the person accused
Of murder and sentenced to be hanged
was set at liberty, the circumstantial
evidence on which he was convicted be-
ing entirely exploded by a witnessed
demonstration as to how the accident
really occurred.
The York correspondent referred tc
volume IS of The Criminal Law Maya.
zine, page GOT, on which a full account
Of the case appears. The case was that
of the state of Tennessee against Avery,
tried in Henry county, that state, and
is one of the most remarkable in the
history of criminal Jurisprudence.
In June, 1887, Charles Ensley, the
cousin of a man of the name of Avery,
was killed in his room while lying on a
lounge, about 3 o'clock in the after
noon. The weapon which caused the
death was a small rifle, sending a 30
caliber ball through Ensley's brain. No
II was in the house at the time but
Ensley. An empty rifle was found lying
on a rack IN a wall Of the room in which
the killing occurred, and the bullet fit
ted the tube.
Avery was arrested for the crime, as
he was the only living close relative to
Ensley, and by his death p%rofited to the
amount of about 500, 900. Avery was
tried, pleaded not guilty, but was con-
victed of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to
the supreme court and engaged MIR.
Wallis to defend him. The supreme
court remanded the case back to the cir
cult court on technical errors. Two
mistrials were brought about, and then
SoAho tAo StlahSoot palU Vi VIC stOIy.
The brilliant Wallis struck the keynote
to the mystery. In August, 1891, he
had the rife loaded and hung on the
wall. A white sheet with the form of a
man marked on it was placed in exact,
~ the position occupied by Ensley when
lying asleep, and a heavy cut glass pitch
er Of water like the one found in the
room was placed on the shelf above.
The temperature was 80 degrees in the
shade, m Of the hottestdays of the
year.
The pitcher acted as a sunglass, and
the hot rays Of the sun shining through
the water we're refracted' directly on thu
cartridge chamber of the rife.
Eight witnesses were in the room
and a few minutes after 3 o'clock a puff
and a report occurred, and the bal
struck the outlined form back of the eal
in the exact location where Ensley wa
shot, and the theory Of circumstantia
evidence went to pieces. The incident
being witnessed and sworn to, readil,
explained itself to the ury.-Cincinna
ii Enquirer.
