Mil Knn'oit: li 1ms h»*tm rouio
timo since I have written foryonr pa
per, but l deem no olio has missed mo
or my writing. The Superior Court
lms been in session in this county for
t wo or three weeks, and I presume
that the trial of a murderer which lias
just ended in t!ii« county, with sur»
rounding circumstances, will bo the
most interesting to your readers. The
trial of (ills Johnson for the murder
of nnegro. Daniel Alford, which oc
curred in August 1S7<», and which has
occupied the attention ofthoSupjrior
Court of Floyd county for the. past
weok, was concluded on Wudnerday,
When the jury, alter a days delibera
tion, returned a verdict of “Guilty..’
Tlio trial of this etiso lmi attracted
considerable attention, both on ac
count of the atrocity of the murder,
Which was entirely unprovoked, and
tho fact that tlio prisoner is a person
ofdesporato character, and reckless
habits, whose long career of crime has
shocked tho whole community; and
caused the people to turn their ejes
upon him as they would a Hon turned
loose to roam over tho land, and de
vour whomsoever ho meets. Tho
facts of the murder ot which Johnson
has just been convicted are briefly as
follows. In August of last year the
defondeut, with other men, ratio up
to King's Ferry ou the Coosa river,
near Home, and ordered tho negro,
Who was on tho opposite bank to bring
tlio ferry boat over, and while the ne
gro was making preparation to carry
it across, Johnson tired at him with a
shot gun, loaded with buckshot, be
cause lie did not eotno fast enough,
and killed him iustnnly. No oppro
brious or insulting words wore utter
ed by the negro, lie merely said tlml
ho would bring tho boat us soon as lie
could. Thu ease win called and tlio
prisoner pled not guilty, because ho
was iu«nno at the time of tho killing!
6cver.il panels of jurors were exhaust*
od before a jury was gotten. 130 ju
rors were sworn as to their competen
cy on this case, and 100 out of that
number expressed themselves us be
ing bias or prejudice for or against
*tf.c defendant, and it is presumed
against him. 15’were rejected by the
tBflLMior, and only three by tho Ktatc.
Tnreo days were occupied in examin-
wiinimta. The in’honrr.ilul
not deny the killing, hut introduced
testimony to show Ids insanity, which
was completely rebutted by the State.
•!C wlmesses were examined. Alter
tho evidence concluded, the Solicitor
opened with a-short speech, and was
followed by two able lawyers for de
fendant one of whom spoke three
hours* The fSolieltor spoke six and
half hours in eomdusion, mid while
npeaking, the defendant became en
raged, and with several onlli< in open
court, made two or three cflbrts to get
to him, but was prevented by the
guard, lie fore the trial was over the
prisoner wvs, by his request, sent
back to jail. This man lms been con
sidered of a desperate chara tcr for
•uoveral years, and a very rude and
mischevious boy, one always ready to
enter into any diflleulties or dovll-
liiuntJVoin his childhood, ilo
very much inclined to light and get
up disputes between others. Ills lath
or was shot two years ago by some
otic in ambush, and ever since ho lms
carried his gun, and has killed several
persons, and •committed various crim
inal offences,
A few days-ago several man wore
floating down the Chattooga river, in
an adjoining county to this, in a boat
and while going along, they discover
ed protruding out) oftho water, the
legs and boots, of a man, and when
they came near it they drew it out,
and found it to he tho body of n man,
with his right car cut off, abdomen
and breast cut open, and a rope with
a largo rock tied to the end, fastened
around the neck. The body was re
cognized si3 one Hunt, that lived sev
eral miles from there, a few days be
fore this occurrence, Mr. Weathers,
of Chattooga county, Io«d a horse and
pursued the thief for several miles,
and put out a reward of .‘1*25,00 for the
horse. In tho meantime ho arrested
two negroes, who said that G us Joint-
eon had stolen tho horse, and carried
it oh', for ho had not then been arrest-’
o I for murder. Out! or two days nl’
tor tlio negroes were taken up, (Jus
Johnson brought the horse to Mr.
Weather, and demanded tho reward,
and said that ho had captured the
thief, and at tlio same timo she wed
a hat with shot liolr.3 in it, and the
right car of r. man. Ho told Mr. 57.
liodiad.killod the thief and threw him
in the creek, which run into tlio river.
V - ' /
Mr. Hunt was a good man and it is
believed by tho people that Johnson
stole the horse and killed this man to
hide his own theft,and for tho reward.
About this time, while uffhis guard,
ho was arrested for tho murdor of this
negro, for which ho has boon convltod.
A groit many fearful crimes have boon report
ed against this man, liat I w<ll not mentiou
.my more, as t have writ ton iu >**o thau I in-
ten led when I coiuiumiead.
Joints m is a young man, about 25 years
of ago He is a low, heavy built mnvli look
ing, with sati}.'nine temperament, red lmir
and beard. Ife h-s been very much edicted
to .Jrinhing, nul usually carried with hi*
in. l»ii« tie. Ho bad just married when i
ki'Ied the negro. against tho will of both his
own relations and those of his wife.
Ho committed a crlino against a negro
man, tho first part nf Wt year, and a special
plea ot insanity, put in for his defense, and
was sent to the lunatic asvhun, but w w there
only a few days whoa the Superintendent
sent him away, saying that ho was no crazy
man Ho has been so,mimed to bo linng
