CROWLEYS INSANITY.
He Burns a House on W. M. Combs'
Place.
J. W. Crowley, a young white man,
about 30 years of age, was tried for
lunacy yesterday afternoon before
Judge Hammond, the ordinary of
this county, and after hearing the
evidence, the jury brought in the fol¬
lowing verdict, “Insane, a fit subject
for the asylum and without property
to defray expenses.”
The circumstances in the case are
as follows: The young man has been
living at Mrs. Wilson’s near this
place for sometime past and has
been employed as overseer for her
large plantation, and about two
months ago on Sunday, left-there
and wandered through the woods to
his sister’s house near Locust Grove
and was found there two or three
days after he was missed. It was
then supposed that he had gone off
and had committed suicide.
After this he came back to Mrs.
Wilson’s and resumed his iwork on
the farm and his friends still notic¬
ing that he seemed very dispendent
and that bis health did not get any
better it was decided for him to go to
W. M. Combs’near Locust Grove and
stay awhile, hoping that the change
and respite from work would benefit
him. So two weeks ago he went up
there, where he has since been until
yesterday and his friends did not ae-
tice anything strange in his actions,
but he had that same despondent air
and look, which was still attributed
to dyspepsia and general bad health.
On yesterday morning between 1 and
2 o’clock he set fire to a house filled
with straw, which was situated
about one hundred yards from Mr.
Combs’ dwelling.! discovered
It was shortly after by
some hands on the place, and Crow¬
ley was found to be burnt on the left
hand, arm and his bead.
He stated in reply to questions be¬
fore the jury that he did not remem¬
ber anything at all about it, aud
when he came to himself was back in
bed.
The bouse was entirely consumed.
The unfortunate young man has
been in bad health for years, and has
also been a dyspeptic, and in addi¬
tion to this had a melancholia, which
was the principal cause of his insan¬
ity. He will be carried to the State
Asylum this morning in charge of
W. P. Walker. Mr. Crowley is con¬
nected with some of the best families
in Henry county, where he '' was
raised. > v

THE W00LF0LK TRIAL.
Argument by the Attorney* Still Going
On—Yesterday’* Speeches.
Perry, Ga., June 20 .— Colonel
Duncan made a fine argument for
the defense yesterday afternoon. He'
attacked principally the inability of 1
circumstantial evidence. His speech
lasted two hours and forty minutes*
Hs was followed by Captain Harde.
man for tbs prosecution, who began
speaking at 3:20 and closed this
morning at 9:20—speaking, in all*
three hours and a half. His argu¬
ment clinched the theory of the
that one man did the
killing and that man was Tom Wool-’
folk. Hi# portrayal of the killing of
Captain and Mrs. Weolfolk, and the
infant, Mattie, on ths bed, the at¬
tempted rescue by Richard, the death
struggle of Pearl and Annie in ths
hall and the dragging of little Char¬
lie from his hiding, was especially
affecting and many in the lafge
crowd shed tears. It was a power,
ful argument and must have had a
telling effect.
At 9:30 Colonel A. J, Miller, of the
counsel for the deiense began speak¬ .
ing. His principal line was to attack
the evidence in .the case. Colo nej
Miller is a fine speaker, and made a
good impression.
I have not heard a single expres¬
sion. of doubfr as to the guilt of the
accused.
Since the taking of the testimony
closed the crowd is large, with more
ladies in attendance to day than at
any time during ths trial.
Noon recess.—Judge Miller has
been speaking two hours and forty
minutes, and resumed at 2 p. m.
He has attacked the evidence against
the prisoner point by point in a
masterly manner. His words are
listened to with attention.
He will be followed by Capt. Ruther¬
ford, who will probably consume the
remainder of to-day audjaii of to¬
morrow, as it is reported he is to
speak twelve hours. Mrs. Stewart,
cousin of the prisoner, presented the
attorneys tor the prosecution with a
handsome basket of flowete this
morning. The sick juror is apparent¬
ly all right again.
