Adjudged Insane
John T. Buffington, the man tried be
fore Justice Hutson, a few weeks since*

to the Superior Court, was brought before
a jury of twelve men, consisting of Dr. J.
H. Speir, foreman, W. Af. McCandluss, J,
M. McAfee, W. M- Barton, J. M. Hardin,
E. B. Holland, B. F. Crislcr, J. H. Kilby,
R L. Patterson, H. II Davis, Win. W»t-
liek und D. A. Warlick. and after exam
ining a few witnesses and the alleged in
sane, they retired nod in 15 minutes
brought in the verdict that he was insane.
The jury was composed of our best citi
zens and their verdict is enough for one
to know tlml he was not in a sound frame
oflhtnd. Yet w# ms Hm belief that
to t many criminals are evading justice
that should be mee’ed out to them by
law in this way. The Insane Asylum is for
lunalicK, not criminals. We do uotwish
to be construed as believing the jury to
have returned tiie wrong verdict, not in
• he least. We are strong in our judge
ment that the jury did thvir duty. Will.

shall occur.

The Professor left on the following morn

ing a class We commend him to the
people where ever he may go as worthy
their esteem and kind consideration.
