SECREST. How He Look and Acts In Marion Jail. ' Blue Ridge Blade. -It was our duty to attend MeDowell Court this week, and the opportunity was improved r visit becrest, the wife and child murderer, who will be re sentenced to be hung at the present term of ' court, or granted a new trial, accordingly as the Supreme Court shall elect. We first met Secrest on the Western North Carolina Railroad train. which brought him to Burke for trial before the magistrate's court in icard township, the scene of his murderous activity ie was men cool ana self- Dossessed. Dushing his way through the crowd at lcard to view the fragments of bones and hairs, which had once be longed to his wire and her child, and which were then on the ground for the justice's inspection. This dare-devil ook and spirit was maintained unsha ken; throughout a .long . imprisonment and the tedious, acquisitive, torturous trial, which resulted irr a. erdict of guilty for him and the pronouncing of the death sentence. Now all that is changed. To recklessness has succeed ed remorse. Instead of the laughing, wicked blue eye, one gazes into the wrinkled depths of leaden melancholy dullness, from which a constant stream of tears flow freely. If there is any doubt as to the certainty of the pun ishment, which swift, sure-footed con science mnicts on its enemy, let mm visit Secrest and be convinced. A stouter-nerved fellow by nature cannot be conceived; yet, he is hopelessly stricken by an inner-wielded cudgel, and there is neither wall to flee to, nor resistance to be' made. This "warm hearted, passionate peopled world " has for him lost all attraction, and there is no outward sign at least, that he has found the road which leads 44 into that still country, where the hail-storms and hre-showers do not reach, and the heaviest-laden wayfarer at length lays down his load." He does not talk at all, not even to his aged lather, in company with whom we visited him, and who has stood to his son through his late but ong report or evil, as none out parent will stand. Moody and silent, mechan ically tying and untying his shoe-strings, he listens to what is said to him with out looking up. Three negroes and a white man were with him in the cage, when we entered. The white man seemed especially fond of him, repeat edly stroking his hair, as the more dis tinguished criminal gave way to tears. New Laws and Changed taws. Raleigh Observer. On March 4, 1879, it was enacted that mortgages of incorporate compa nies upon their .property or earn ings, whether in bonds or otherwise, hereafter issued, shall not have power to exempt the property or earnings of such incorporation from execution for the satisfaction of any -judgment ob tained in courts of this State against such incorporation for labor performed for, nor material furnished such incor poration, nor for torts committed by such incorporation, its agents or em ployees, whereby any person is killed or any person or property injured, any clause or clauses' tn- such mortgage to the contrary notwithstanding. It being alleged that public confidence has been much abused by the un worthi ness of financial officers of benevolent and religious institutions, it was made law on March 4, 1879, that any treasu rer or other financial officer of any be nevolent or religious institution who shall apply - any of the ; moneys coming into his hands as such to his own pri vate use, or who shall lend any of such moneys to any ptner person witnout the consent of such benevolent or reli gious institutions, and who shall fail to account for such money when applied for, shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor, and on conviction shall be fined or imprisoned, or both, at the dis cretion of the court. ' Some change wtwmade-by a law rati fied March 5, 1879, in the matter of sher iffs bonds.
