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 .

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.

Recourse was at once had to the widow of the murdered man, who among the silver, gold, and paper money recognized two pieces distinctly as hav 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.
