Queer Murder Trinl.

y gentleman who was lately in Mad
ison parish, La, tells of an amusing
and interesting murder trial he heard
before the circuit court at Talullu. 1t
seems that a negro minister of the
Baptist faith was murdered some time
ago by Que of his race at ii church fair
or festival. The preacher was we'll
liked by the brethren and sisters of the
church in the neighborhood and they
have raised fund of nearly $7CO with
which to prosecute the murderer, and
engaged the legal services of Lieut..
Gov. Bob Snyder for that purpose.
Not to be outdone, the white folks of
the community Immediately raised n
fund equally as large, with which to
defend the negro. The fight is now
in progress. The array of legal talent
is going at it hammer and tongs and the
whole parish is interested in the out
come. There are only seven witnesses
to be examined, but fully 1000 negroes
are present to listen to the evidence.
One of the most curious things about
the whole affair is the jury. 1t took
the sheriff nearly two weeks to find
"tweive men, tried and true" who had
not formed an opinion on the case. Final
ly he scraped together nine negroes
and three sorry looking white men who
rather reluctantly agreed to render q
verdict according to the law and evil
dencc." Scarcely had the trial got we'll
under way when it was announced that
the white men were firm for acquittal
and the negroes had sworn to convict
or "bust the statutes" in the attempt.
The trial is slowly progressing. Just
what will be the outcome is hard to
conjecture.

that we are running short yearly about

French African Expedition said to lie
Guilty of AstonIshinE Cruelty.
y grewsomc account of the conduct
of the French expedition which has mst
made its way to the Nile is given by one
of its members in n private letter, SAYS
the Boston Transcript. Tie says they
Impressed all their native portcrs and
other help by force; in brief. seized and
made slaves of them. Then. if any of
them tried to. escape. they shot or
hanged them. When they came upon
village md found it deserted they set
1t afire. whereupon the inhabitants. who
were hiding near by, would come bacl,
and try to cxtinguishsthe flames. thus
giving the French an opportunity to
seize some of them to replenish their
slave train. The French would seize
the chief and tie him up until he fur
nished the required number of slaves.
II they did not succeed in calling any of
the natives within reach by incendiar-
lam or other means they simply looted
the village. At night they kept IA
close watch upon the slaves as pos
siblc. "but they would now and then all
run away together. and it was not easy
to kill the whole lot"
