A Thrilling Story.
A WRONG FOR WHICH THIiRK WAS NO IN
DEMNIFICATION .
In No. 4 of tho “Garteulaube,” one of
the best edited jonrnals in Leipzig', we
road ils follows: “An open question.”
Being inspector of prisons, I one Sunday
made the acquaintance of a yonng man,
who that very oay had been arrested un
der suspicion of murdering a cattle bro
ker six weeks previously. “That bird
wo have now,” said the gensd’arm,
who had with him two or three officials,
pointing to tho prisoner, “that’s a citch
as I havenot made iu all the days of my
life before. I was just running over his
description in niy mind, when he ran
right into my net. Take good care of
him Herr Inspector.” I did not pay
much attention to whafc tho gensd’arm
said, bnt examined the necessary papers,
glancing from time to time at the prison
er.—Ho stood before me erect—a model
ofmanly strength and beanty, and his eyes
rested quietly upon me. Of the face not
much conld be seen, ns lie wore a full
heavy black Iteard. On his liigh and
broad forehead I noticed over the left
eye a scar about 1J inches long, wliich
was partly concealed by the hair. He
was faultlessly dressed in a new fashiona
ble suit. The personalty of the prisoner
was so characteristic that one conld hardly
be mistaken, os it did not require very
much acuteness in tho gens’d’arm. The
conduct of the prisoner was altogether
and insist
hinderance.
cide in this matter, tell' all this to
the recorder, who within twenty-four
hours will receive yon. I only will
remark that the possession of these pa
pers does not at all establish your inno-
cense.” “My God! mv God! what
shall I do?” 4 ‘Submit patiently, and think
quietly, what yon will and can do to freo
yourself.” “Mv good wife, iny dear
child 1” he exclaimed in a broken voice.
These wero the last words I heard him
utter, and he spoke as if in great pain. I
cared little whether he was guilty or not;
I saw in him one of those unfortunates,
of whom I had to kept so many, and con
cluded to make his imprisonment as mild
as I possibly conld, and I had no reason
to regret ray resolution. a.she filled all
the demands of tlie'regul&tions promptly,
in n quiet, docile way. To prove him as
the guilty party, many and unusual exer
tions were mode, and these were augment
ed by pecuniary interest^ a largo reward
being offered for the discovery of the
mnrderer. I attended tho examination
of the prisoner and was enabled to form
some idea as to his guilt. A direct
E roof could not bo exhibited, no one
aving seen tlie deed committed. • Nev
ertheless, within a short time sufficient
proof was gathered, which made the
prisoners's innaeenco more and more
donbtfnl. The man had been murdered
on tho highway, had been a rich man and
was of a powerful frame. Thus it was
concluded that the attacking party must-
have been his equal in Imdily strength
and had a hard strugglo with him, as the
wounds on his body showed, consisting
of one shotwonnd and eleven stabs. Up
on my prisoner wero found a small pistol
and stiletto, the size of tho bnllet cor
responded with the first and the latter
fitted exactly into tho wounds. Even the
footmarks that had been* measured near
the place of the murder, agreed exactly
with thoso of the prisoner. Tho prison
er and the cattle broker _ had stopped
at tho same hotel and left in tho evening
at cbont the anmo time. Some witnesses
testified that the prisoner at first had en
gaged rooms for the night, but altered
his mind suddenly and left in a great
hurry. As I mentioned once before, my
prisoner had a scar over his left eye
and scars conld be seen on the back of the
hand, which had been healed but lately.
He ascribed them to be an unhappy fall
but could not givo further proof. Then
he could not prove where he was at the
time of the murder. The cattle broker
lxad with him a large sum, which had
' been taken, though his watch and other j
j valuables were left undisturbed, which no
bntld anew some existence onfcof the de
bris that is left.” .
The president shrugged his shoulders,
and—kept silent. The question has not
been answered yet, and is open stilL .

Among his papers I found several let

pecially the case at one place, viz: “Am

calling it a capi al joko which no donbt
would canso ranch comment. “These
shiirpsighted watchers of morals
mo a vagabond.” * * * * “You
are mistaken,” I answered, soberly.
“What, no vagabond—well then thief ?”
“There, too, yon are wrong,” I answered,
still more earnest “ Bnt what then, is
there anything more than that?” “You
are accused of murder,” I said this slow
ly and pntting much stress on each wonL
tho prisoner seemed frighted and ceased
laughing, What might have cansed it ?
Was it the magnitude of tho accuasaticn
or a knowledge of guilt ? I saw plainly
the prisoner conld not see any more ca]>-
ital joke in it. “Do I look like a crim
inal?” he stammered without looking
at me. He said‘‘criminal’’not “murd
erer”. Was he afraid to pronounce the
word ? I answered him not—I conld
not. “Mein Herrs” said he you have
seen my papers which must exonerate
me from all suspicions in every particu
lar, and I was in tho belief that should
not conld not be otherwise. I am a mer
chant and possess a large business the de
sire to become personally acquainted with
some of my correspondents, caused me
to leave home. I have traveled through
out the Southern part of France and the
greater part of Germany and was on my
return borne, when I received nows at
Magdelburg which induced my coming
here to attend to some business of impor
tance. “Were you in this part of the
country liefore,” I asked when be panned.
“In this part,’* he repeated, then said,
j “ Yes, yes; but not in this place.” “Will
; yon tell me when that was ?” “Wait,
mein Herr.” he said, meditating; “It
may be about eight weeks since.” The
time was about .the same in which the
murder occurred. This was sufficient; I
did not core muck for the day, and be
sides, I had no right to pnt any further
questions in that direction, only about
family matters I wished to know some
thing more, and then wonld prepare him
for the suffering of a pei
prisonment “You are
ed, more friendly. 4 4 Yes for four years. ”
“And have children ?” ‘One sou, a beau
tiful and promising boy of three yaars,
and I am in hopes to aee rny family in
creased shortly.” At this moment the
prisoner was joyfully moved; his dear
child was before his mind and the
thonght of it presented all the jqy% and
pleasures he had felt and rea
possession. “Will you commission me
to inform your family of what has liap-
penedr “How do you mean ?” “I
asked if you would have me write your
wife os I should like to do so.” “You do
not intend to detain me?” “I must do
it!” “What—you wonld?” “Tx>eV you
to arrive at the evidence as soon possible,
and an nnnsunl excitement, prevailed ev
erywhere. This uninterrupted strain
upon the prisoner’s nerves unmanned
him completely. “What good,” said he
one day, “docs all my assurance of
innocence, nobody believes me, and I
had better use talking, it is all useless.”
In this apatiiy he remained and I was
sure that only somo nnlooked for event
conld arouse him I wrote to his wife,
telling her oil that befell him, and urging
her to come to him or take somo steps to
relieve his unhappy condition. How
sorry I was afterwards for that letter, it
cansed terrible disaster—his wife , who
had been all this time ignorant of tho
whereabouts of her husband was so
shocked and frightened that-she gave pre
mature birth to her child which also
caused her death. The news of this
worked upon the prisoner powerfully, his
grief was terrible to tiehold and was so
touching and heart rending to hear him
call her by name. Ho was a widower
and had only the little boy left. This
gave him new strengtli and he prepared
to face his misfortune bravely and with
out flinching. Over eight months had
passed when tho case was ready to be
laid before tho jury. Mnch donbt exist

direct proof of his guilt, when suddenly

ing been in her husband’s pouch. This
changed the whole proceedings. Now
the recorder had two guiltv parties be
fore him. After four months both pris
oners were brought before a jury. My
prisoner was a little moved and -when
tho president asked him. ‘ Are you
guilty ?” ho said, “No, I am not guilty.
Heaven may forgive the injustice that has
been done me. Over one year liavo I
lain in prison. My name is dishonored,
my business miued and more still the
grief has killed two beings, who wonld
even now live happily on my side—their
hearts broken, broken perhaps in the
terrible belief of guilt.” These words
thrilled the heart of every listener. Was
he innocent ? if so, who could compen
sate him.° The other prisoner made a
loathful impression on me; in his face
were depicted fear, obstanacy and snllen-
ness, as if in constant dread o f something,
showing evidence of guilt. When ques
tioned if guilty, he answered “Not
guilty.” When my prisoner was asked
if he had anything more to say in his de
fense, he rose slowly, as if with an inward
straggle. Standing there in foil height,
and looking slowly aronnd, ho fixed his
eyes suddenly on the other prisoner, and
then quickly Laying his hand upon the
head of the prisoner, exclaiming with
terrible earnestness: “Here—here sits
the mnrderer! Say “no” if you dare !”
The murderer, as such he no donbt was,
perhaps lengthy im- startled as if struck by the trnth of the
ire married ?” I ask- remark and—kept silent. This silence
said more than words eonld have done.
My prisoner let his hand remain on the
other’s head and turning to the jury, said.
“I believe I can read in your souls, that
yon understand tho silence of this man;
it most remove the last donbt of my in
nocence. ” The verdict of the jury spoke
him free at onee. Then he addressed
them: Mr. President allow me to say a
few words. I stand before you—not by
my own fault, a rained miserable man.
Who will indemnify me, not few the loss
of a beloved wife, because that cannot be
done with money—bnt for the heavy pe
cuniary lots I have sustained by this
lengthy imprisonment, so 'an to help me
