In One Instance an innocent Man Was
Sentenced to BE Hanged.
In recent paper appeared an &C
court of strange accident in which
man was killed by the discharge OF d
gun while lying asleep on lounge
in his room, the weapon being dis.
charged W reflected rays of the sun
falling upon the cartridge chamber
Of the firearm, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Since the publication OF the
story a correspondent from York, Pa.'
writes concerning the accident and re-
fers to similar case, in which, through
the efforts Of clever Cincinnati law
yer named G. c. Wallis, the person ac-
cused of murder and sentenced to De
hanged was set at liberty, the circum-
stantial evidence on which he was con-
victed being entirely exploded by a
witnessed demonstration as to how the
accident really occurred. The YORK
correspondent referred to volume Il
of the Criminal Law Magazine, page
COZ, on which full account OF the case
appears. The case was that OF the
state of Tennessee against Avery, trieo
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 kl!lec
in his room while lying on a lounge
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Inc
weapon which caused the death was
small rife, sending 32-callbe1 Dali
through Ensley's brain. No one was
in the house at the time but Ens!ey
An empty rife was found lying on
rack on a wall of the room in whicE
the killing occurred and the bulie'
fitted the tube. Avery was arrested foi
the crime, as he was the only living
relative to Ensley, and by his deats
proGted to the amount of about Sl00''
0Oc. Avery was tried: pleaded nc.
guilty, but was convicted OF murder H.
the first degree and sentenced to be
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 on
technical errors. Two mistrials were
brought about and then came the
strangest part of the story. 1he bril-
liant Wallis struck the keynote to the
mystery In August, 1891, he had the
rifle loaded and hung on the wall. A
white sheet with the form of a man
marked on 1t was placed in exactly the
position occupied by Ensley when
lying asleep, and heavy cut-glass
pitcher Of water like the one found
in the room was placed on the she'll
above. The temperature was 80 de-
grees in the shade, one of the hottest
days of the year. The pitcher acted as
a sunglass and the hot rays OF the
sun shining through the water were re-
fracted directly on the cartridge cham

o'clock a puff and a report occurred ard
