Upon arriving at the scene of the stijt- ! cosed murder, the sheriff and his compan* ions saw at a glance that a terrible crime had been committed. Hie dead man was covered all over with t’reien gore and seven wounds, apparently indicted with a sharp knife, were inflicted upon the body. His head was sti.l eovered with a nice felt hat. His line presented a most ghastly aspect. A terrible gash extended from the left temple to the rijt. jaw. Another gasli was in the ton-head. The victim was lressed in a substantial fur coat. He was apparently forty two years ol I. When his pockets were exainitn-d, they were found to be enti cly empty. But close to the body, was found an old fash ioned wallet. It was st'U open, as if its con ical- had been taken fioui it, ami as if he a !.o hail emptied it had afterward thrown it away. At a distance of about ten yards from the corpse, near an ohl log, lay a peculiarly shaped fur cap. I. couhl not have 1 c'onged to’the murdered matt, for, as we lia.e said 'lie-ore, he had his hat on his head. The ground was covered with snow, and there were a number of toot-prints virihle in it. Those were the only indications oi the perpetrator of the horrible crime. The coroner was sent lor, and until his arrival, the sheriff and his companions went t«> the Ohio tavern, which was situated at no great distance from the scene of the minder. When the sheriff told the landlord of the murd r. and described to him the avpcar- iti c.* of the corpse, the landlord exclaimed at once: “Great God! iha u or fellow cannot be anybody else than Mr. Saatmis, the Pitts burgh cattle dealer.

Mr. Sainmis sat in ti.e front room wi’.h me and Jack Capon for an hour, when tiie two went out together. Jack Capon was a dissolute, but very good natured fellow about thirty years old, who had a decided aversion to work, ami a still more decided predilection for strong drink. H” could not get any whisky at Steuben ville, and lienee he often walked for miles h s wonted haunts ill Steuheuviile; but: man who was well acquainted with hi> habits, said if he could be found anywhtire it would be St the cabin of old Sim Brooks Brooks lived in \ho wooden tlie Pitts- burgh mde ot Steubenville one milt from the spot where tibe t^rpsc 'f Mr. Sammis hadbeen found. Likei JaeU Capon, old Brooks was fond of w^jfyj.and tht two would frequently drinktqgether untit they were utterly obSv'mpw. the o ires and sorrows of this world,' which, as they thought, had uot treated either of them too well. So to Brooks’ cabin went the men. They knocked at the front door, Which was lopkeu. For several minutes there was no response. At last old Brooks himself opened the door. They saw at a glance that he was in an alarming state of intoxication, i “I* Jack Capon ltere?” ,they|ftsfced.*‘ “ Ye-ye-yes,” hiceoughed Brooks; “hr is lyiug asleep yonder, behind the.stove*' Titen the drunken old fellow went back to bis lounge, and a minute later he was found asleep again. The inen stepped tq to Capon. He was drunk also. His coat and shirt were covered with blood. The} exchanged significant glance'--, and aroused nint not without considerable difficulty. “ What do yon want ?*’ he asked, yawn iug “Tue sheriff wants you, Jaek.” “The sheriff! What lor? I haiu't done nothing.” “You are suspected of having murdered a Mr. Samntis, of Pittsburgh.” “ Go away! I murdered a Mr. Saminis? You must be loony.” “ Look at your elf.” C:q>on looked at his clothes. The sight of the bloody stains on them caused him to sober up at once. “How did I get these stains on my coa mdsjirt?” he stammered out at last. “Don’t you know anything about them' they asked. “No—no! You say murmur.was coni mitted ?” , “Come—come, Jack Capon.” they re o ied, *• you can’t fool anyltody by pleading i .tionmee. What did you do with your up?” He looked aliout the room. “ S ittie one must have taken it away,' he said, at lost.” “ You left it near the corpse of the niur- leretl man.” “ Was it found there? Great God —great «lol!” ; He buried his face in his hands and began toiry. Then he followed the men—who a’so took Sim Brooks along—willingly, - o the Ohm mvem, where the coroner had meanwhile arrived The sheriff appeared soon after ward with some men who were carrying the gory, frozen corpse of the victim. Jack Capon was couilucted to the corpse. As he caught sight of R, he recoiled in horror. “ It’s Mr. Saimuis,” he gasped out. “ Poor Sammis, who has murdered him ?” « You were the last seen in his company,’’ said the sheriff; “your chp-wia found near the corjtse, your clothes arc blood stained ; who hut you can be the murderer?’’ “I am*innocent!” cried Ca\>on, despe rate y. “ I got tight at Brooks’. I don’t kn w how I got this blood on my clothes, nt r how my cap got near the corpse. 1 have even forgotten that I was with this jioor gentleman.” The coroner impaneled a jury, and in the n st place, took them to the sjKit in the woods where the murder had been com mitted. Jack Capon, who had been, mean while, heavily ironed, was also conveyed thither. The footprints near the point where the corjise o the murdered man had lain were not very distinct, but they seemed to correspond exactly with the soles ot Jack Capon’s s .les. Returning to the Ohio tavern, the coro ner swore Sint Brooks, who, by this time, had become perfectly sober, and who stated that last night, about half-past ten, Jack Capon had come to his 'Clrtihi and asked .•im it* he had any whisky. lie had given him half a dozen drinks, whereupon Capon had wanted still more, but h& had no more. Capon had then shown hint a ten dollar gold piece, aud asked hint iffie knew where any whisky could be bought He had an swered if he would go to Mike Perry’s, he might get some. There Capon had gone, anil returned with whisky, but without his cap, and with liisshiit and the front part of his clothes all bloody. p Brooks added that he hatd asked Capon how he got the blood on him. C;i|)on was so drunk that he could no»give a very in- ti-lligiblc account of what lgtd happened to .‘tint, but lie had said something about hav ing had a fall and hurt hittttelf. Upon Iteai ing this evidt^ec, the prisoner exclaimed: • Yes—ves, that’s true-H do remember it uo'w. I made a short cut through the woods to Mike Perry’s house, where I got tlie whisky, and returned by pretty much tho same route, when I stumbled over something and tell.” The jury rendered a verdict against him, and he was committed-fir trial. His pock ets were then examined, and the ten dollar gold piece, which Siui Brooks had men tioned, was found. Ca|Min said that SammU, who had tnkun •it interest in him, hajl given it to him. This was considered it flimsy falsehood, and eveiyliody was convinced tliat Jack Capon was guilty. A messenger, wi.h the pews of .Sammis’ murder, was dispatched to Pittsburgl nnd. barring her vivacity wi'lt toastin fork aud. long-handled frying puts, a Itelter wiit- I never had. But we parted last December, as soon as I could get out of the doctor's hands with a fracture of . the skull (in con junction with a di.-cu-sion concerning eetlin up to light the fire—also a lmoljsck), ai d 1 thought the fact of our divorce had been pre- viou-ly annoui'Csl.” “But,” said the first speaker, “your nam», my comjiattion in divorce, is Green; me last time she was divorced It was from Brown.” “ Brown ? Brown ?” said Mr. ['•Hopkins, reflectively ; “there was one fel low named Brown u-ed to tagafter her;” “Ii must lie the same one.” . “Gentlemen,” sai i he first stieaker, reflectively, “ this is a nost remarkable coincidence. Wnen shall we three met n-a'in.* I don’t usut'.ly drink after breakfast, hut this is a special occasion and we may. mayn’t we?” So they all went out to the bar-room to gether to diiuk success to Brown, and as (hey stepped up to the bar they met a man who saitl; “ Gentlemen, this is my Iteat. I’ve just been divorced, ami lay name is Brown, and I’m going to treat the house. Give it a name and call for the best iu the house.” H s three frieuds shook hands with him solemnly, exchanging three looks ot inlelli gence among themselves, when a weak eyed young man walked in diagonally, and said “ See here, you fellers have got to ti ke a bottle of wine with me. I’m a newly* mar ried man ; bridegroom rejoicing to run a race, you know; have smueihing? Aud so lie wandered on til,, to get rid of him, they agreed to go up stairs to the ladies’ parlor and he presented to his newly-made bride. They did so, ami lo and behold she was theii wife! The situation was sufficiently embarras- -iug, hut the woman didn’t taint, hut simply remarked. “ Oil, Mr. Green, glad lo meet you; your litco seems familiar to me, Mr Tompkins; Somehow the name seem-known to me, Mr Brown. 1 seem to recnile i your luce; any relation to the Browns oi Lafayette, Ind.?” Truly, truth is stranger than fiction. Death of A, T. Stewart. The Merchant Prince of New York breath va’tnah, Ga., had long been on had terms with his wife. Fina’lv, he charged her with adultery, and sued for a divorce. The wile thereupon accused him ot having murdered a man on the sixteenth of Novemlicr, 1*41. in the day after leaving Pittsburgh, Pa., :tnd of having robbed his victim of $20,000 in $500 and $1,000 bank bills. She said that she had to wash on the next day, when he had unexpectedly re turned to Pittslm gift her husband’s shirt, which had been blood stained, and she •barged him with having killed somebody. He had confessed to her what ho had done, ind they had left Pittsburgh a few days ater and gone South. Wilson was arrested, and authorities at •Steubenville at once communicated wish. Tlu sheriff who had arrested Capon, and who was still in office, cam'* personally to •Savannah, w (Ka te-uis.t'o i froin ihe Gov ernor of Ohio. When be had his first in terview with Wilson, the latter, who was errified lieypnd measure by the pr spect o; he scaffold, asked him whether a full con fession would save him. If you arc guilty, it will be, maybe, the only thing that will save your life,” replied tin* sheriff. Thereiijion, Wilson made a cl an breast >f it. lie said lie had waylaid Sammis i ho had .left his horse at a house three Titles from Steubenville, and had attacked him with a knife. Sammis had offered the uost desperate resistance, and had com- polled hint to stab him often before he had succumbed. When the sheriff arrived with his pris- incr at Stenhenvi.lt*, the exasperated peo ple could be barely prevented from lynch ing Wilson. The Governor of the State, upon recoiv iug a certified copy of Wilson’s confession, immediately granted a full pardon toCa on, o whom the Legislature, which happened to be in session at Columbus at ihe time, voted tlie sum of §1,000 to idemnify him .or the sufferings he had innoeentlv undcr- rnne. It is need'ess to try to describe Capon’s joy at this unexpected change in his for tunes. He returned to Stenhenville, where the p opk* received him amid manifestations of unfeigned joy. At the next term of the circuit court, ed his last on Monday 10th inst., from in Wilson was sentenced to be bung, tht* | flnmntinti ot the bowels He was a native court saying that the enormity of his crime j of Ireland, and educu ed tor ihe minislry. had been augmented by his suffering an in noeent m hi to he punished for it. Capon gave proof of genuine magnanimity by going to Columbus and asking tlie Gov ernor to spare Wilson’s life; but the Gov ernor rcf. sed to interfere. Si Wilson was .mug at Steubenville, on the tth of January, 1847. The Vouuj Lawyer. The tie which bound a eSitain Detroit youth to a lawyer’s office was severed ye< terday, and his parents were happy.
