Belltoii’s Sensation.
About last Christmas. Prof. J. S.
Williams came to this place, claim
ing to boa mineralogist and spiritual
ist. While in the town, he was intro
duced to a young lady—the daughter
i of one of our most worthy citizens—
who is also a spiritualist. He pro
fessed an immediate attachment—
"love at first sight.” To gain his
point, he claimed to be immensely
wealthy—a regular big bonanza for
any marriageable lady. The spirits
came to bis help, and soon the coveted
prize was won. the marriage taking
place one month after they first met.
The happy couple continued to reside
with the bride's father, the professor
spending most his time prospecting
for mines in this immediate section.
About three weeks ago a gentleman
stopped oil here for supper, and recog
nized the professor, and made inquiry
concerning him. When told that he
(the prof ssor) had but shortly m ir
ried in this burgh, he made a dis
closure not altogether pleasant to our
new citizen of such immense wealth.
It was in substance, that the profes
sor of mineralogy had mie wife over
in Cherokee county. Williams got
wind of tins arid left. Xothing more
was heard of him until last Mmidav
night, when his father-in-law found
him selling mi his front steps. He
was immediately arrested ami kept in

ville. represented the prisoner, ami
i Mr. ('. B. Thrasher the Slate. As
i-non as the ca-e was called, it be
came apparent that the Justice was |
determined to let the prisoner go. in
; spite of all evidence that might or
could be ilitrodttceil. lie ruled out
all the written evidence bin one tele
graph dispatch, and in his decision
gave that no weight. Mr. Thrasher
contended with zeal and ability—!
though not a lawyer—for the cause of i
good morals ami justice. The court
proceeded according to bis fixed pur- !
pose ami let the prisoner go. The '

Et'iTvit Geohoian: Please allow!
us room in your paper to express our
imlignant feelings at the decision of|
Justice J. p. Echols, ill the case it
the state against J. S. Williams for
bigamy, held in our town, on the 7th |
inst. But before we proceed, we wish
to vimlicate the judgment and honest
staid taken by the Associate Jiisti e
C. IL Faulkner, in the premises. The
proof in the <:<■■<• was overwhelming ,
but through what We feel to be the
basast corruption ami glaring fraud
of the said J. P. Echols, the consum
mate scoundrel was turned loose to 1
go m search of another poor victim.
In substantiating the above state
ments, we assert that the counsel for
defendant himself stated, after the
trial, that he would have bound him
to court. The Justice ruled out all ;
the evidence produced bv Mr. 15.
Thrasher, who represented the State ;
and he. the said Echols, was heard to
express his opi. ion in regard to the
ease, previous to the trial, by saving
that he was "in favor of turmtig him I
loose, as it was not so much harm to
marry often.” etc.
Now the object of this communica
tion is to call upon the powers that
■ be. in the name of civilization and
humanity, to remove from official
posi' ions al I such men as the above
mentioned Justice, who sitting as an ;
officer clothe I with power, turns loose
criminals upon tn while we stand ami
plead for justice. Ami we wish to;
outraged citizens from
any part in this disgraceful matter.

the day of trial, told him that if he
was in his place, he would turn J. S.

was innocent in marrying again, and
that he furthermore believed the said
J. S. Williams was conscientious in
what he did.
