THE LATE GOULD DEFAL CATION. . ‘ Who Bears the Blame and Who Carries oft the Game 7 For gome time past a well known Revenue official has boen engaged in trying to unravel the transactions of the late defaulting Collector, but fail ing to interview him out of any of the facts obtained, and desiring to know both sides, wo undertook to find out ourself, and the result of the in vestigation is as follows: In the summer of 1870, John II. Gould and E. W. Kendall purchased in Boston a large amount of furni ture on credit, which they shipped to this city and opened the house on, Broughton street, under the firm and style of W. Krzyzanowski A Co.— The company was a merchant of this city, Kendall being employed on a salary. There was no money paid in up to the time the house opened, ex cept $2,000 paid for Gonld by anoth er party, to defray the expenses inci dental to opening the house, Ac.— Afterwards Gonlifpaid $32,000, which was credited to all parties as follows ; to Kreyzanowski $6,000, and the bal ance to Gonld und the party already referred to as the Company. A short time before Gould lcft- Krzyzanowski, not having couie down with tho stamps to cover the amount placed to his credit, with drew, leaving the whole under the control of the remaining partners. The concern was then sold out to still another party here, whose notes were given to the silent partner, known as the “Co.,” for about $24,000, which were subsequently turned over to a merchant at tho Bay, who sold out the stock at auction through Messrs. Bell A Hull, and reoeived tno proceeds, so says the last book-keeper in the concern. This accounts for $32,000 that Gould did not take away with him. The balance of the $59,000 defal cation, viz; $27,000 it is said was also not taken by Gould, but by others, us it is expected can be proved. So that after all, Major Gould went away mi nus, except the moucy he borrowed a day or two before ho departed, to nay his traveling expenses with. It is said that Mrs. Gould is now in Wash ington, using her endeavors to obtain promises that her husband will not be prosecuted if he returns. It is thought she will succeed, and that the Major will return and make a clean breast of the whole business. The United States District Attorney has received instructions to prosecute two citizens of Savannah as accessories to the defalcation. Major Gould is now summering at SL George’s, Bermuda, within about four days sail of Savannah, where he is enjoying the retirement of which he is so much in need, beyond the reach of his enemies and the influenct of his friend*. Further developments in this de falcation business may be mado in the examination of the testimony in the case of Clark vs. Gould, which will be up for trial in the Superior Court to day. The suit is brought by Col. W. L. Clark, now Internal Revenue Col lector fbr this district, for money col looted for taxes which ho remitted to Gould, when ho (Clark) was his depu ty at Thomasville, and which he now finds were never credited to him on the books of the office here. Corro«poQdtnce of The Axlamta Daily Bum. Crawfoudvilte, Ga., | July 22, 1871. | Editor* Hun: The weather has been dry here for some time, and crops are needing rain. A called session of tho Superior Court for Wilkes county was hold in Washington this week—Judge An drews presiding. At this session, Willis Beckwith, of Warren county, was tried for murder. The case had been removod from Warren by order of the Judge. The triul lasted two days. The result was a verdict of aoquittal by the jury. The State was represented by So licitor General Morton, and the priso ner by Col E. H. Pottle, of Warren, and Hon. Linton Stephens, of Sparta. Tho verdict gave general satisfaction to all who heard the testimony.— Willis Beckwith is ono of tho parties so long confinod in tho barracks in your city, by military order, on the charge for which he has just been tried and acquitted. In conversation with an old citizen of this place to-day, I wns informed that just thirty-seven years ago, 22 July, 1834, lion. Alexander II. Ste phens was admitted to the practice of law in this village, upon which I might moralize, bnt forbear at pres ent. I am sure, however, that it will be agreeablo to tho many readers of The Sun, to know that his general health was never better. Asido from that unfortunate cripple, I doubt if his health has been as good in many years as at present. On The Wino. The trial and Sentence of James Oxford. A correspondent of the Savannah News writing from Sandersville, on the 19th, gives tho following particu lars of the trial of James Oxford: On last Monday morning, soon after the opening of Court, tho oaso of the State vs. James Oxford, charged with the offense of murder, (he having killed George Washington, colored, in Ootober, 1867,) wsswrtlwr.'whWritWBS ascertain ed that Oxford had no counsel present. Hit Honor, Judge Twiggs, assigned Messrs. John N. Gilmore, Milo G. Hatch and S. B. Jones to defend the prisoner. The State wss represented by J. A Rob son. Esq., Solioitor General pro tern., and Messrs. Langmodn A Evans, all of the local bar. Owing to the absenco of witnesses for the defenoe, the ease was continued un til Tuesday morning, when, at 9 a. m., it was called again, and both parties an nouncing themselves ready, the trial pro ceeded. A jury was impanneled without any trouble. Two colored and fonr white witnesses were examined on the part of tho prosecution, and two white witnesses on the part of the defence. Able argu ments were offered by counsel on both sides, especially so on the part of the de fense, who, without tbo nope of fee or reward, labored assiduously to oounteraol tho effeot of the damaging evidenoe of fered by the prosecution. About mid night tbo jury retired to their room, and after an absenco of fifteen minntes, re turned with a verdict of “Guilty fo mur der.” This morning at 9 o’clock Judge Twiggs passed sentence upon Oxford, to tho effect that he be hung in Sandera- viile on Friday, September 1st, between tho hours of 9 n. m. and 5 p. m. James Oxford ia tho younger brother of William Oxford, who was tried in this conrt last week for the killing of a col ored man in 1868, and who wus sen tenced to the penitentiary for three years. Both krotliera are young men. William ia about twenty-flvo and James twenty- two years of ago. Their mother, a younger brother, und three married sin ters live in this and tho adjoining county of Jefferson. Their father, John Oxford, who died three or four years ago, was s blacksmith by trado, and moved to this county from Baldwin about thirteen years ago. William served in tho Confederate army during the war, and James in the latter part of 1864, until the anrrondcr, after which they worked on farms for various people in this county, where they were considered hard-working boys.— Bnt evil counsel and drink, that bane of aooiety, got the mastery over them, and hence their downward career. There are indictmente pending against James in Hancock oonnty, for the mur der of the superintendent of tho Sparta Factorv, in 1869, and for the murder of a colored man in Barke oonnty recently. It win probably be recolleoted that about a year ago James, while inoaroer- ated in Jail at Sparta, on the night pre vious to tho day aet for bia trial, was re leased by an armed crowd, who had ef fected forcible entrance into the jalL Large rewards having been offered by Gov. Bollock for tho apprehension and conviction of both tho brothers, detec tives from Augusta got upon their trail, and captured William in Burke county, where he was at work under the name of Taylor, on a farm belonging to bis wife, whom he had recently married, thongh having a wife living in this county. James was captured iu Jefferson county, under the aamo name, while at work In a steam saw mill. He has a wife and ohild living there. Both had been oar- ried to Angosta jail lore safe keeping, from whenoe they were brought here for trial. During their short confinement in jail here the building was, by order of the Court, gnrrded every night by a speeial gourd of twenty-four men. After their conviction William was sent to the Au gusta jail again, to be confined there un til the guard from the penitentiary calls for him. James wait this afternoon, sent to the jail at Macon, there to be eonfined until the day set for his execution. It ia hoped, by all the good citizens of Washington county, that with the trial and oonvictiou of these parties,lawlessness within her borders may here come to on end. Tpe Herald think tho oora, potato and pea crop in Greene oountv, are assured, and very fine. It says the former* had began to be a little anxious for rain, but the fall which occurred on Tuesday (last. was copious, and gave the finishing tooeh to oora. Cotton, it says, promises aboat half a crop. The Utter disaster, howev er, should make littlo difference, as the lest crop of cotton will bring abont aa maoh money Into the oonntry as a whole one would. Cora should be the detim of all—its abandonoe keeps stock fat and man happy. A fall of black rain ooeurred last month near Worcester, England.
