Por some mouths past the trial of Itev.
Myram D. Wood, pastor of tho Presby
terian Church in Decatur, DeKalb county,
charged with seducing Emma I. Chi vers,
of the same village, has been waiting the
September term of the Superior Court,
and attracting attention.
As tbis case is almost without prece
dent, and, certainly, without parallel in
this country, a short hiftory of the par
ties would probably be interesting.
REV. MYRAM D. WOOD,
is a native of Yorkton, South Carolina,
from whence his parents removed to
Decatur, Ga. He hat been the pastor of
churches in South Carolina, Alabama
and Georgia, and lastly assumed the
charge of tho Presbyterian church in
Leant nr. He is well educated, refined
and intelligent, has polite and agreeable
munners and to ah appearance, is a man
whose influence as a citizen aud pastor,
has been much respected. His personal
appearance is dignified and commanding.
Physically he is well proportioned, beto
kening a man, who, though devoted to
mental pursuits, Los not neglected these
duties which strengthen the physical
He is rather handsome, has jet
black hair, hazel eyes, (one of which is
defective, or its sight wholly gone), and
has an intellectual face. Altogether, he
very forcibly reminds us of Parson An
gelo in “A Terrible Temptation.” He is
an eloquent divine, is very popular with
his congregalion, and throughout
tho county, and considered one
of tho most promising men
in this Presbytery. He is probably forty-
two or threo years old, (with a much
younger appearance;) is married and has
three children, all daughters, the oldest
<rf whom is nbont fourteen years of age.
Ho has, during his residence in Decatur,
also engaged in teaching school.
ment struggled for supremacy. Some
went away with their convictions shaken,
while others condemned the girl as a
slanderer, filled with a wicked a heart,
who, fully conscious of her own irre-
trievahV ruin, hoped by this avowal, to
implicate in her guilt a good and holy
man, and thereby palliate her own crime.
At tbis juncture of affairs, and out of
this very circumstance, arose
A DIVISION AND DISCORD IN TIIE SOCIETY
of the village, which seriously interrupt
ed the usual intcrccuso of previous
friends. Family was arrayed against
family. Fuctious arose* which espoused
the cause of one party and persecuted
the other. Persons who had before with
held suspicions and repressed prejudices
and dislikes, now openly expressed them
selves, and condemned one party or the
other, arraigning them for misdemeanors
and indiscretions, which, altliovgh sus
pected, had never been established.
This strife and feud, which still exists
iu a degree, waxed warmer and w armer,
until a warrant was issued for the arrest
of Myram D. Wood, charging him with
THE REDUCTION OP EMMA L CHI VERS.
In the bill of indictment it was charged,
tliat by false and fraudalent persuasions,
and promises of marriage, Myram D.
Wood bad induced Emma I. Chi vers
yield to him, seduced her, and robbed
her of her virtue.
With Mrs. Chivers as prosecutrix, the
connsel for State consisted of Solicitor
General Howell, Col. C. Peeples, and Col
Fry. The counsel for defense were
Messrs. Hill & Candler, L. J. Winn, and
Hon Geo. N. Lester.
The trial was called on Monday last,
Hon. John L. Hopkins, Judge of the
Superior Court, presiding. The jurore
summoned could not be qualified. So
wide spread was the discussion that pre
judices for or against either the prosecu
tion or defense, were almost universal.
Again and again were summonses issued
and men brought in, bat not until Friday
the 29th, could they find a sufficient num
ber of men who could qualify. Finally
they empanneled a competent jury. It
consisted of tbo following gentlemen
Robert A. AlstoD, Foreman; John W. Mc
Curdy, Warren J. Clark, Christopher C.
Johnson, Henry H. Burgess, James W.
McLean, Thomas N. Pevton, Alexander
C. Fowler, Edward II. Guess, James M.

Is tho daughter of Dr. Thomas Holly
Chivers, originally of Wilkes county,
Georgia, who, in his time, had
soma reputation oh un author, hav
ing written poetry and other con
tributions to literature. Dr. C., prio
to the war, was wealthy, owning con
•iderablo property in negroes and real
estate. By many he was considered very
erratic and unbalanced. Some said he
was cruel and tyrannical in his family
and it is alleged by some that for snch of
fence he was once rather summarily
seized, dragged from his house one night,
and ridden on a rail About the ve&r
1857 he removed with his family to De
catur, Ga, where, ulthough not a prac
ticing 'physician, he sometimes, in
emergency, prescribed for patients. His
circumstances were such as to support
him in leisure. IIo married in Mus.su-
chuseits a highly refined and well edu
cated lady, who, together with her natu
ml Abilities and education, was consid
ered extraordinarily intelligent, aud even
sltretaf.
Their daughter, Emma, was a pretty,
sprightly, intelligent girl, well educated
and universally respected, and generally
esteemed above suspicion aud a virtu
ous girl of unexceptionable morals. She
was a consistent member of the Presby
terian Church, of which Mr. Wood was
pastor up to the timo of her fall.
It transpired early iu February last,
that Miss Chivers, who, if not before
that time entirely above tho suspicions
aud whisperings of a few, was of recog
nized fair standing, nnd virtuous, by the
community, gave birth to a child, on the
3rd day of tliat month. An event at once
so unexpected in tho quiet town of Do
catur, excited tho greatest surprise among
all, aud much indignation among those
who hud admitted tho girl as their co
equal and associate at school and at
home. Recovered from tlicir astonish
ment, they began to make conjectures os
to tho guilty partner in the infamouB
dee that had brought disgrace and cala-
ity upon a household, and shame upon
commuuity unacquainted with such
dark and diareuutablo events.
Gossip, slander, and scandal, hereto
fore languishing for prey, had at last
found tui unmistakable victim, in which
to launch their venomous shafts ; and
xulting in her writliings, and encourag
'd by success, they began to discharge
their poisonous darts promiscuously,until
in the tumult, scarcely an iuaividua
escaped.
Fmnllv, the rancor of some subsided
and while tho women of the place yet
discarded and condemned the fallen girl,
the nu u relented and began to pity, and
manifested some anxiety to fiud the
villian who had perpretated so infamous
a deed. In the minds of a few persons
acquainted with tho circumstances, situa
tion^ aud intimacy, of tho family of Mrs.
Chivers and Mr. Wood, conjectures gavo
ay aud suspicion began to point its
finger at Rev. Myram D. Wood, her
protector, preceptor and pastor.
It was not until those suspicions, in
the miuds of some, bad settled into con
viction, that three prominent citizens of
Decatur—all leading members of Mr.
Wood's Churoh—determined to visit Mrs.
Chivers, see her daughter, and, if possi
bio, ascertain ths truth of a matter that
had, as they thought, been the source of
most foul insinuations against the obsi^
actor of their beloved pastor, whom they
hod called to shadow forth aud typify the
goodness and purity of bis Lord and
Master.
The motives aud purposes of tho gen
tlemen were highly commendable. They
approached the unfortunate girl—not
ith the intention of extorting from her
confession that would lower her still
farther in misery And shame, and, Dor-
haps, implicate another in the crime; they
desired not to persecute her or even
xposc her to rjdicule or further scandal;
»r even to disebver tho author of the
m tut teed; but to relieve, as they believed,
their upright pastor from outrageous as
persions on hit character.
Actuated by such motives os these,
they framed their questions whioh, if
answered, would in no way commit the g^irl
to any unwilling confession, or convict
any ouo else of participation in the
crime. They simply asked;
“IS MYRAM D. WOOD THE FATHER OF THAT
CHILD ?'*
Bv her answer, which they felt assured
would be a denial, they hoped to vindi
cate Mr. Wood, mid sustain him in that
public esteem and confidence which he
baa so long enjoyed, and which they con
fidently believed he yet deceived. The
girl, after some hesitancy, replied:
“MIL WOOD IS TUB FATHER OF MY CHILD.”
and a considerable number of bis brother
ministers from abroad were present, who
had come to ascertain the tenth, that they
might take action in their respective off -
ces accordingly.
Tho prisoner, considering the odds
against him, aud the fearful consequences
of a verdict of guilty, preserved a tolera
ble countenance, though at times ho
winced and compressed his lips to repel
dread dispair which threatened to seize
him.
Tho defense was opened by Hon. Mil
ton A. Candler in bis usual bold, eloquent
style, who fox au hour and a half
held tho whole house enchained
with his eloquent effort to vin
dicate his client and pastor. CoL C.
Peeples followed in l>ehalf of the State in
a speech of great ability. Next to CoL
Peeples, Solicitor General Howell, also
in behalf of the State, made an effective
speech, showing that he was thoroughly
conversant with the law ahd the facts of
the case. Hon. Geo! N. Lester closed
tho defense in a most admirable effort.
As a lair speech it had no superior during
the trial.
Judge Hopkins, in his charge to the
jury, admonished them to consider well,
impassionutely and impartially, the testi
mony. He reiterated its main points,
and gave the law clearly and distinctly,
and tho jury retired to their room. After
an absence of half on hour they returned,
and Col. Ii. A. Alston, Foreman, read the
verdict:
“WE FIND THE PRISONER OCILUY.
The Defense gave notice that as soon
as the testimony could be copied, a mo
tion would be made for arrest of judg
ment aud a new new trial, and the pris
oner gave lxmd of 85,000.00 for his ap-
peui*a«.cc at Court.

Miss Chivers tastified that soon after
Mr. Wood assumed charge of the Pres
byterian Church (of which she was
member) he, appreciating her circum
stances, proposed to teach her. She ac
cepted the proposition gratefully, and
for years she bad been accustomed to re
cite lessons to him at his house, or her
mother’s, as it was convenient. Under
him she had studied Latin, algebra, his
tory, &c. After some time he had begun
to compliment her on her zeal, applica
tion and ambition to learn, aud had gone
so far as to flatter her intelligence, her
personal beauty, her manners, her gen
tie disposition, her winning ways, and
other attractions of person, such
rounded form, attractive figure, and
other charms, which she thought beyond
the notieo or remark of a minister of tho
gospel—(thus she testified). But sho
had tho most unbounded confidence in
him, and excused such approaches on
the ground that ho was a preacher, and
beyond suspicion. She had learned to
reverence aud esteem him, and finally to
love him. His influence over her, * she
said, was unbounded.
One night in the year 1867, after hear
ing her recite, he had asked permission
to accompany her home. After leaving;
his house, while in the lane, he seizei.
her hand nnd kissed her, and demanded
other privileges which then seemed shock
ing to her. Sho refused, feigned sick
ness, and ran home. He next day came
to see her and begged pardon for offend-
iug her. She forgave and forgot, and
they resumed their studies together.
Soou after, another occasion presented
itself, and he again attended her home,
and again made approaches, this time
attended with declarations of love, say
ing that he loved her better than any
woman (dive, that she and he
were congenial;
that his wife, whom he once imaginetl he
loved, was nnhcalthy and would soon die,
aud then he would marry her. With
theso protestations of affection, he re
peated uud pressed his entreaties. She
remonstrated and said it was improper.
He insisted that it was not wrong. He
had
MADE IT A 801DHCT OF PRAYER.
H his love for her was wrong and crimi
nal, he believed God would interfere and
arrest it. With such persuasions and
her preconceived affection for him, she
had not the moral courage to resist; his
influence and control over her were
great.
SHE FURTHER TESTIFIED:
About this time, Mr. Wood, knowing
our reduced circumstances, suggested
that wo rout out oar home ana move
over near his honso where, in an humble
home, together with the income from
house rent, aud his own assistance, we
might live comfortably and in ease.
Moreover, ho said, it would then bo more
convenient for mv recitations.
One night ns he was returning from
Atlanta a foot, ataut 10 o’clock, he called
by our house and suggested that I recite
my lesson to him. My mother, who was
in the room, fearing to distract our at
tention, meanwhile retired to the next
room. After tho lesson was finished,
Mr. Wood complained of headache, and
laid down on the bed; called me, asked
me to come to him and
