MACO N . (1 EQ RO IA : FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2. A CASE OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The following case of circumstantial evi dence is given in the Gentleman's Maga zine lor 1762: “ In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a per son was arraigned before Sir James Dyer, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, upon an indictment for the murder of a man, who dwelt in the same parish with the prisoner. The first wiiness against him deposed, that on a certain day men tioned by the w itness, in the morning, as he was going through a close, which he par ticularly described, at some distance from the path, he saw a person lying in a condi tion that denoted him to be either dead or drunk ; that he went to the party and found him actually dead, two wounds appearing on his breast, and his shirt and close much stained with blood; that the wounds ap pt-ared to the witness to Late been given by the puncture ofa fork or some such instru ment. and looking about he d scovered a fjfk lying near the corpse, which he took up, and observed it to be marked the with initial letters of the prisoner’s name ; the winesat the same time produced the fork in wh£vh the prisoner owned to be his, and w aived Asking the witness any questions. “ A second witness deposed, that, on the morning of the day on which the deceased was killed, the witness had risen early w ith an intention to'go to a neighboring market town, which be named; that as he was standing in the entry of his own dwelling house, the street door being open, he saw the prisoner come by, dressed in a suit of clothes, the color and fashion of Which the witness described; that he (the witness) was prevented from going to market and that afterwards the first witness brought no tice to the town ot the death and wounds of the deceased, and of the prisoner’s fork be ing found near the corpse ; that upon this rvpoi tire prisoner was apprehended, and carried before a justice of the peace, whom he named and pointed at, he being then present in the court ; that he (the witness) followed the prisoner to the justice’s housfr, and attended his examination during which he observed the exchange ot raiment which the prisoner had made since the time w hen the witness had first seen him in the morn ing ; that at the time of such examination the prisoner was diessed in the same cloths which he had \on at the time of the trial, and that on the charging him with having changed his clothes, he gave sever al shuffling answers, and would have de nied it: that witness’ having men tioned this cb e granted a' cha 9g e dr. U,ie just s house for the clothes describ ed bv the w itness as having been put off since the morning ; that the witness atten ded and assisted at the search, and that after nice inquiry for two hours and up wards, the very clothes w hich the witness had described wore discovered concealed in a straw bed. He then produced the bloody clothes in court, which the prisoner owned to be his clothes, and to have been thrust into the straw bed with an intention to conceal them, on account of their being bloody. The prisoner also waived asking the second witness any question. “ A third witness desposed to his having heard the prisoner deliver certain menaces against the deceased, from w hence the pros ecutor intended to* inf< r a proof of malice presence. In answer to which, the pris oner proposed certain questions to the court leading to a discovery of the occasion of the menacing expressions deposed to, and from the witness’ answer to those questions, it ap peared that the deceased had first menaced the prisoner. “ The pi ..-oner being called upon to make his defence, addressed the follow u.g narra tion to the couit as containing all he knew concerning the manner and circumstances of the death of the decessed viz : “ That he rented a close in the same parish with the deceased, and that the deceased rented another close adjoining to it. That the on ly way to his ow n close was through that of the deceased, and that on the day of the murder in the indictment was said to be committed, he arose early in the mornins, in order to go to work in his close, with his fork in his hand, and passing through the deceased’s ground, he observed a man at some distance from the path, lying down as it dead or drunk : that he thought himself bound to see what condition the person was in, and upon getting up to him he found him at the last extremity, with two wounds in his breast, from which a great deal of blood had issued ; that in order to relieve him he raised him up, and with great difficulty set him in his lap ; that he told the deceased he w-as greatly concerned at his unhappy fate and the more so as there seemed to be too much reason to apprehend that he had been murdered ; that he intreated the deceased to discover, if possible the occasion of his misfortune, assurring him he w-ould use his | utmost endeavors to do justice to his suff erings ; that the deceased seemed to be sensible of what he said, and in the midst of his agonies attempted, as he thought to speak to him, but being seized with a rat tling in his throat, after a hard struggle, he gave a dreadful groan, and vomitting a great deal of blood, some of which fell on his (the prisqper’s) clothes, he expired in his arms : that the shock he felt on account of the accident was not to be expressed, ' , and the rather, as it was well known that | there had been a difference between the de ceased and himself, on which account he might possibly he suspected of the murder that he therefore thought it advisable to | leave the deceased in the condition he w as, and to take no further notice of the matter that in the confusion he was in when he left the place, he took away the deceased s fork Snd left his own in the room of it, by the side of the corpse ; that being obliged to go to his w ork, he thought it best to shift his -p--'' / ■■ ; clothes, and that they might not be seen, be ; confessed that he had hid them in the plaae , where they were found ; that it was true he had denied before the justice that he had changed his clothes, being conscious that this was an ugly circumstance that might be urged against him, and being unwilling to be brought into trouble if he could help it; and concluded his story with a solemn | i declaration that he had related nothing but I the truth, without adding or diminishing one I t’tle, as he should answer it to God Al- ! | mighty. Being then called onto produce I hr witnesses, the prisoner answered with a steady composed countenance, and resol u . tion of voice, He had no witness but God and his own conscience. 11 The Judge then proceeded to deliver his charge, in which he pathetically enlarg ed on the heinousness of the crime, and laid great stress on the force of the evidence, which, although circumstantial only, he de- I dared he thought to be irresistable, and little inferior to the most positive proof, that the prisoner had indeed cooked up a very plausible story, but if such, or the like alle gations, were to be admitted, in a case of this kind, no murderer would ever be brought to justice, such bloody deeds being generally perpetrated in the dark, and with : tiie greatest secrecy : that the present case was exempted, in his opinion, from all pos sibility of doubt, and that they ought -not to hesitate one moment about finding the prisoner guilty. “The foreman begged of his lordship, as this was a case of life and death, that the jury might be at liberty to withdraw, and upon this motion, an officer was sworn to keep the jury. “The trial came on the first in the morn ing, and the judge having sat till 9 at night expecting the return of the j*ury, at last sent an officer to inquire if they were agreed in their verdict, and to signify to them that his lordship would wait no longer for them. Some of them returned for answer that elev en of their body had been of the same mind from the first, but it was their misfortune to have a foreman that proved to be a sin gular instance of the most inveterate obsti nacy, who having taken up a different opin ion from them, was unalterably fixed in it. The messenger was no sooner returned, but the complaining members, alarmed at the thought of being kept under confinment all the night, and despairing of bringing their dissenting brother over to their own way of thinking, agreed to accede to his opinion, and having acquainted him with their res-> olution, they sent an officer to detain his worship a few minutes and by their foreman brought in the prisoner not guilty. His lordship could not help expressing the great est surprise and indignation at this unexpec ted verdict ; and after giving the jury a severe admonition, he refused to record their verdict, and sent them back again, with di rections that they should be locked up all night without fire or candle. The whole blame was publicly laid on the foreman by the rest of the members, and they spent the night tn loading him with reflections, and bewailing their unhappy fate in being asso» ciated with so hardened a wretch but he re mained quite inflexible, constantly declar ing he would suffer death, rather than change his opinion. “ As soon as his lordship ca me into court the next morning ho sent again to the jury on which all the eleven members joined in requesting the foreman to go mid coim, assuring him they would adhere to their former verdict, whatever was the conse quence, and on being reproached with their former inconstancy, they promised never to desert or recriminate upon their foreman any more. Upon these assurences, they proceeded into court, and again brought in the prisoner not guilty, The judge unable to conceal his rage at a verdict, which ap> peared to him in the most iniquitous light, reproached them with the severest censures and dismissed them with this cutting reflec- I thr. Mood of the deceased lav at their door. “ The prisoner, on his part, fell on his knees, and with uplifted eyes and hands thanked God for his deliverance, and ad dressing himself to the judge, cried out, You see, my lord, that God and a good con science are the best of witnesses. “ These circumstances made a deep im pression on the mind of the judge, and, as soon as he was retired from the court, he entered into discourse with the high sheriff, upon what had passed, and particularly ex amined him asto his knolwedge of this leader of the jury. The answer this gentleman gave his lordship was that he had been ac quainted with him many years ; that he had an estate of his own of about jEotl per annum, and that he rented a very consider able farm besides ; that he never knew him charged with an ill action, and that he was universally esteemed in his neighborhood. “ For further information his lordship likewise sent for the minister of the parish, who gave the same favorable account of his parishioner, with this addition, that he was a constant churchman and a devout communicant. “ These accounts rather increased his lordship’s perplexity from which he could think of no expedient to deliver himself, but by having a conference in private with the only person who could give him satis faction. This he desired the sheriff to pro cure, who readily offered his services and without delay brought about the desirec in terview. “ Upon the juryman’s being introduced to the judge, his lordship and he retired to a closet, where his lordship opened his rea sons for desiring that visit, making no scru ple of acknowledging the uneasiness he was under, and conjuring his visitor frankly to discover his reasons for acquitting the pris oner. The juryman returned for answer, that he had sufficient reasons to justify his conduct, and that he was neither afraid or ashamed to reveal them, but that as he had hitherto locked them up in his own breast, and was under no compulsion to disclose them, he expected bis lordship would en gage upon his honor, to keep what he was about to unfold, as secret as he himself had done, which his lordship having promised to do, the juryman then proceeded to give his lordship the following account : That the deceased being tithemen of the parish where he (the juryman) lived, he had, the morning of his decease, been in this (the ju ryman’s) grounds amongst his corn, and had done him great injustice, by taking more than his due, and acting otherwise in a most arbitrary manner. That when he complained of this treatment, he had only been abused with scurrilous lan guage, but that the deceased had likewise struck at him several times with his fork, and had ac ■ tually wounded him in two places, the scars of which wounds he then showed to his lordship; j that the deceased seeming bent on mischief, and I he (thejuryman) having no weapon to defend himself, had no other way to preserve his own life, but by closing with the deceased, and ; wrenching the fork out of his hands, which hav ' ing effected, the deceased attempted to recover the fork, and in the scuffle received the two i wounds, which had occasioned his death; that he was inexpressibly concerned at the accident, and especially when the prisoner was taken up on the suspicion of the murder; that the former assizes being just over, he was willing to sur- . render himself, and to confess the matter, be- I cause his farm affairs would have been ruined I by his lying in goal so long; that he was sure to have been acquitted on his trial, for that he had consulted the ablest lawyers upon the case, who had all agreed, that as the deceased had been the aggressor, he would only have been guilty of manslaughter at the most; that it was true he had suffered greatly in his own mind on the prisoner’s account, but being well assured that imprisonment would be of less ill conse quence to the prisoner than to himself, he had suffered the law to take its course; that in or der to render the prisoner's confinement as easy to him as possible, he had given him every kind of : distance, and had wholly supported his family ever since; that in order to get him cleared of the charge hid against him, he could think of no other expedient than that of pro j curing himself to be summoned on the jury, 1 and set at the head of them, which with great labor and expense he had accomplished, having all along determined in his own breast, rather to die himself than suffer any harm to be done to the prisoner. “His lordship expressed great satisfaction at this account, and after thanking him for it, and making this further stipulation, that in case his lordship should survive him, he might then be at liberty to relate this story, that it might be delivered down to posterity, the conference ! broke up. “This juryman lived 15 years afterward; C. J. Dyer inqu'red after him every year, and hap | pening to survive him, delivered the above re- I lation.’’ ~SPE(IAL notice - The Hamden Express Company will receive and for ward all articles entrusted to them and for exhibition at the State Fair in Atlanta, and the Planters’ Fair in Macon, free of charge, and enter for those who desire it, if the entering fees will accompany the articles so to be entered.
