SOUTHERN BANNER: APRIL 9, 1878. A Physician’s Crime. “ I'hiH’s :i spU'ixlid sc heme of yours, Dr. Melville. I shall he glad to help you.’’ “ Understand me well, Bixton. The thing has lo he done to-night.” “ Wed ?” , J *t f t.' t ; f “ Now, look across the that window. T ll 12 1 , treet at Old Brolhvrton sleeps in that room.

Methodical in his habits, he always goes to bed. at nine o’clock. .At that hour I have seen hint enter his bed room night after night with a lighted candle in his hand. TWight 1 shall lie in wait for Brotlterton iu the open window of the Adjoining room, from which I can see distinctly everything he does in his bed-room, which is on a straight line with it. I am a dead shot, and as soon as he enters this bed-room I shall lire the air-gun, which I have considerably improved, at him, and shoot him through the heart. In all probability he will drop dead on the floor without uttering a scream. But, even if he does cry out no one will hear him. Then, Bixton, your part of the task Vfill commence. As soou as darkness sets in to-night you will have lo conceal yourself in the woodshed adjoining Biotherton’s house. A few minutes before nim you will approach Brotherton’s bed loom window close enough to see what lakes place there. As soon as I have brought down the old fellow you must climb into the window, enter the adjoining room where Brolherlou's desk stands, break the desk open aud take from it all the papers and money it contains. No one will hear you, lor no one but Bioihertun lives in the house. Then come <pi ekly over to me, hand me the papers, and I will let you have one of my horses to ride oil’ toward Florida. Do you understand well, Bixton ?” “ Porievtiy, Doctor.” “ Well, then, here is a dark lantern and an excellent steel jimmy. Have you a watch , ”N<», Doctor.” “ Well, you may have this silver watch, Dixon ; aud here is a S10 bill to get some refreshments. But be ware of getting drunk.” “ I won’t drink anything but claivt, Dr. Mellville. But tell m.- one tiling, please—how much money will l be likely lo find iu old Brother- ton’s desk “Oh, at least 82,000, Bixton. I saw him put nearly that sum into it this very morning.’’ “All right, Dr. Melville, all right. 1 shall lie on hand to-night.” ho saying, Walter Bixon, a young man ot twenty-five, left the ollice ot Dr. Melvi.le, a middle aged physician, wiili whom he had the loregoing startling conver atiou at Mobile, Ala lama, shortly alter noon, of a very suit iy June day, in the year 1831. "When Dr. Melville was alone in his ofli e he threw himselt into an easy chair, and was soon absorbed in deep thought. Every now and then he uttered a few incoherent sentences. “ Ah, Jim Brotherlon/’ lie mur mured, “ you are going to foreclose that mortgage on my house to-mor row ! I gue»s not—I guess not. You are a childless widower, worth over a hundred thousand dollars, and you want to deprive me of what little property 1 have.

Now, this air gun carries its small iron bolt twice as far. Let us try ir. There is a crow 011 yonder church roof. I will kill it.” He took aim and fired. The crow fell dead. “Ha! ha! ha!” he laughed al most aloud. ** It will be bad for yon, .Tim Broth’Orion.” Evening came round, and, as Dr. Melville had predicted, a thinute or two after nine o’clock, James Brother- room, broke open the desk, and look from it a bundle of papers tied to gether with a red tape, and a large package of bank bills.” il By George !” he muttered glee fully, “ there is at least fon'r thousand dollars here!’’ lie returned to the bedroom wlieue Brotherlon was lviug, and threw the light of the lantern once more upon the victim’s face. Suddenly he ut tered a loud cry of terror and drop ped the dark lantern. Brothei ton was not dead. He had opened his eyes very wide, and whis pered : “ Ah, is it you, Walter Bixton ?” The young man tride to escape, but Brothcrton had grasped his left leg, and held it in a grip of iron. A hor rible struggle ensued. . : In order to free himself from the old man’s grasp, Bixton stamped him repeatedly in the face, disfiguring him horribly. At last he made bis escape through the open window, while tins old man cried loudly for help. A night constable heard him, and was soou by the victim's side. “ I am shot!” gasped Iirolherton. “ Who did it ?” asked the consta ble. “ Walter Bixton,” rejoined the wounded man, feebly. A convulsive shudder passed through his frame, and he expired. Meanwhile, Bixton, terribly frigh tened, and run over to Dr. Melvill’s bouse. “ Well?” asked the Doctor. “ You did not kill him—lie recog nized me 1” gasped the villian. The Doctor uttered a blasphemous oath. “ Some one is now with him,’’ con tinued liixte.i, pantingly. “Oh, hide me, hide me!’’ no!’’ cried ilia baffled physi cian. “ Get out ot my hoitsa this very moment, or l shall shout for th? police!” Bixton implored him not to give him up, but Dr. Melville, who was perfectly beside himself with rage, began lo shout: “ Watch ! Police 1 Police!” The constable across the street heard the shouts, hurried over to the house of’tiie phy-ieian, and took the despairing Bixton into custody. At the station house he immediate ly made a ele.m breast of the wh le transaction, whereupon Dr. Melville was likewise ai rested. The physician had regained lfs presence ofiniud, ami denied Bixton’s charges against him with the utmost (foolne.-s. But his denials were una vailing in the face of the damnatory circumstantial evidence, confirming Bixton’s statements against him. In dictments for murdei in the first de gree were found against them at the next term of the Circuit Court. When the trial came oft", an able defense was made in the behalf of Dr. Melville, whoso counsel strenously tried to prove that Bixton had insidi ously robbed the Doctor, and stolen the articles found with him with the intention of saddling the g”ilt on Melville’s shoulders in ease he should he detected in his crime.
