In a recent paper appeared an &C
count Of a strange accident in which
a man was killed by the discharge OF 6
gun while lying asleep on loung'
in his room, the weapon being dis
charged by reflected rays of the sun
falling upon the cartridge chamber
Of the flrearm, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Since the publication OF the
story correspondent from York, Pa.
writes concerning the accident and re-
fers to q similar case, in which. through
the efforts of a clever Cincinnati law.
yer named G. 9. Wallis, the person ac.
cused Of murder and sentenced to Be
hanged was set at liberty, the circur.
stantial evidence on which he was con,
victed being entirely exploded by a
witnessed demonstration as to how ths
accident really occurred. The FORK
correspondent referred to volume II
Of the Criminal Law Magazine, page
607, on which 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
man Of the name of Avery, was killed
IN hfo roorp 1rhilo 1vip1 IN q lOrn or
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Tn
weapon which caused the death was Il
small rifle. sending 32-caliber bal
through Ensley's brain. No one was
In the house at the time. but Ens!ey
An empty rifle was found lying on q
rack on wall of the room In which
the killing occurred and the bullet
fitted the tube. Avery was arrested for
the crime, as he was the only liy'n!
relative to Ensley, and by his deatp
profited to the amount of about $500.
900. Avery was tried. pleaded no:
guilty, but was convicted OF murder IL
the first degree and sentenced to bs
hanged. He appealed to the Supreme
court and engaged Mr.. Wallis to de-
fend him. The Supreme court remand
ed the case back to the Circuit court or
technical errors. Two mistrials weri
brought about and then came the
strangest part Of the story. The bril-.
liant Wallis struck the keynote to the
mystery. In August, 1891, he had the
rife loaded and hung on the wall 4
white sheet with the form of q mar
marked on II was placed in exactly the
position occupied by Ensley wheE
lying asleep. and a heavy cut-glass
pitcher Of water like the one found
in the room was placed on the shell
above. The temperature was 80 dc.
grees in the shade, one of the hottest
days Of the year. The pitcher acted a.
a sunglass and the hot rays OF the
sun shining through the water were re-
fracted directly on the cartridge cham
Der Of the rifle. Eight witnesses were
in the room and few minutes after
o'clock pun and report occurred and
the Dall struck the outlined form back
of the ear in the exact location where
Ensley was shot and the theory OF cir
cumstantiel evidence went to pieces
The incident. being witnessed and
sworn to. readily explained itself to tbs
jury. n.
