AARON BURR's TWO CANDLE STORY,
1t Was ImpressiveIy Told by an Ala
bama Senator Who Wove 1t Into a
From the New York Sun.

NONeL
From the New York Sun.
washington, Dec. 9.-An old lawyer of
this city, said: 81 read the article In the
Sunday Sun about the Manhattan we'll
crime. was particularly interested In the
paragraph that described Aaron Burr's
dramatic act in holding a pair of lighted
candles in the face of a spectator in the
courtroom and shouting. Gentlemen. here
Is the real murderer I do not question
TINS, but / remember that Jere Clemens
a once famous United States senator from
Alabama, told of a trial in which Burr
appeared for the defense of a man charged
with murder My recollection is that the
trial was in the Southwest
When Burr addressed the Jury IL was
night. The guilty man was in the room.
He had been the principal witness for the
prosecution, but Burr had learned that
this witness was the assassin and in
closing his address for his client he picked
up two lighted candles from the table and
holding them in the face of the witness
referred TO, he exclaimed: Gentlemen of
the jury, there is natures verdict. Now
write yours At that moment the wit
ness fed from the room. After Clemens
told this story he wrote an historical
novel called, The Rivals; or, the Times of
Hamilton and Burr In that book he woye
the incidents into one of the chapters The
book is out of print and has been for many
years. But it had a great sale particu-
larly in the South, before the Civil War
for Clemens was a typical Southern or
ator, and man of wonderful personal
magnetism. The object of the novel was
to make Burr a hero, and TO besmirch
Hamilton's character.
In one chapter where Burr was high
in the esteem of Washington, the latter
IS represented as reading a letter from
Hamilton In which Hamilton detailed some
scandalous gossip about Burr Burr was
standing behind Washington during the
reading of the letter. Washington. in
censed at the contents of the letter, turned
quickly and saw Burr, TO whom he said:
How dare you read my letter over my
shoulder? Burr. as Clemens represents
stung to the quick. drew himself I'D and
replied with all the hauteur of his nature.
When your Majesty addresses such an in
quiry TO me in the manner you have the
only reply decency can prompt Is Aaron
Burr dares TO do anything. This, Clemens
AYERS, was the cause of the break be-
tween Washington and Burr"
