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 custody until yesterday, when he was I brought before Justice Echols for, | trial. Mr. Claud Estes, of Gaines 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 ' community felt outraged at the deci sion. 'I lie professor l< ft immediatelv fm "new fields ami pastures green.” I Vn Outrage on the Community. 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. J M Fowler. E S V Briant, M Buice, C B Thrasher.
