KAa lMlJeat«riht First Trial in Man
| Jem Blake had been shot dead in his
doorway by Antonio Gneldo, and
Bibs trial was lo come off directly.
The extraordinary interest in the af«
E fair, was less due to tho murder and its
r peculiar circumstances than to the fact
I that this was the first case tried at San
Saba in tiny more formal court than the
tim»-honored institution of Judge Lynch.
Jem had been a quiet man and a good
.neighbor, with a hand always ready to
help any one wh6~was out of luck, so
public sentiment ran pretty high against
Antonio, ifthe general inclination had
been followed—as, up lo that time, it al»
ways bad—the last named gentleman
would have found verv scant opportu
nity to make any remarks iu his own be
half.
However, things wero advancing at
Sao Saba as well as elsewhere, and it
wouldn't do to liang Antonio without a
regular trial, no matter how agreeable
such a proceeding might be to the people
at large.
So rau the opiftion expressed by Judge
whose ideas on such subjects
were usually acceptedtyitliout comment.
Nevertheless, there was more than one
dissenter in the present instance, to
wham it was by no means clear that there
could be any sense or profit iu thus beat
ing about the bush.
•Ef Antonio's goin' ter be bung, why
don't we bang liiin?'
This was the pertinent qnerry of Jake
Smith, tiie leader of the opposing fac»
tion, and his view of the question was
pnt in so clear a light that the Judge had
great difficulty in impressing the people
With his convictiou. He said that things
-had gone oil in an irregular way long
enough, and here was a chanco to start
tbe law in properly, and give it a fair
show. Besides, it didn't make any kind
ol difference; Antonio hod shot Jem,
hadn't he? Well, then, what was the use
of talking? All the jury wonld have to
do now was to return a verdict of guilty
in tbe first degree, and there you were
all comfortable.
It was just the same thing in the end—
exactly. •
•I tell yer,' said the judge, who felt the
weight of his title, albeit the satno was
altogether one of courtesy; '1 tell yer
there's nothing like doin' a thing rcg'lar;
partikerlurly when yer know just how it's
oomlng ont.'
Bo the judge's argument, supported by
his influence, and an increasing bias at
San Saba in favor of more civilized views,
settled tbe matter, and it was decided
that Antonio Gueldo should be tried be
fore be was hanged.
As there was no place specially arrang
ed for sncb ceremonies, Judge Pitblado
hospitably offered tbe use of his shed.
Here a rongb table and chair was plsc
ed for tbe judge, the other uecessaiy fur
niture, Intended to represent (be dock r
tbe stand, etc., being eked out with boxes
from 811 as Baggett's grocery store.
Jake Smith looked on at these pre par*
ations for a time with frowning discon*
tent, and then strolled down the road,
turning into tbe road that led to Blake's.
When be reached the door of the shanty
be leaned against the jamb aud poked bis
naked bead inside, fauuing himself in an
embarrassed way with bis greasy frag
ment of a bat. He had come there with
the intention of saying something, but
tbe sight wltbin made bim forget it.
Blake's widow sat there, as site had
sat pretty mu*h all tbe time since tbe
Border, staring straight before her, with
ber ebin io ber palm. The sunHgbt struck
through the foliage of tbe red oak frees
that grew before the door, and checkered
with flickering brightness tbe floor* and
tbe cradle where Jem's baby was sleep*
log.
There it #aa, just as it bad been three
days ago; (eoold it be only three days!)
jost as it had been when she went ont
that morning to look after the clothes,
>t£&AHAM, N C-, WEDNESDAY APRIL 14 1880
and left bfm standing In the door by the
cradle, (how food he was of the baby!)
just as it was when she heard the crack
of the pistol, and ran in with' an awlul
sense of suffocating fright; jnst the same
as she had fonnd>him lying npon the eras
die, dabling its white linen willi his
blood, and (he baby plajing with his
hair. She screamed once, the first and
last complaint, any one had henrd her
mako; and then she was quiet and help
till through if all; when the men came
and Jilted him np,- when they laid him
out upon the rough bed in the other
room; when they carriod him to his
grave, she following with the baby in his
arms.
Jake Smith was trying to find the link
missing 'II his thoughts; he sniilod wilh
pqrplexity—or something—and Blake's
widow looked up without speaking. Jake
codded pleasantiy four or five'times.
'Pojty chipper?'asked he.
Blake's widow smiled sadly, bent over
tho sleeping child and smoothed the
clothes with a tender touch.
'They're agoin'ter try him in a conrl,'
Jake went on, 'an' 1 don't believe '
'Try who-r Antonio?' She turned to
ward Ihe burly figure in the door with a
flash of interest in her black eyes.
'Yes. The judge is making a court
out offiis shed. I hope it'll turn out all
right, but it seems like givin' that Mexi
can devil a chance he oughtn't have.'
"He can't get clear can he?' she asked
ocking the cradle gently tyid patting the
coverlet.
'I don't see how, but he's got some
kind of a la v cuss to speak for him, aTel
low that stopped here a day or two ngo
on his way to Galveston, and it makes
me kind o' nervous.'
Blake's widow did not appear to no>»
tice the last remark, for the child, dis
turbed by the (alkiug, had awakened and
sat up iu his cradle with a woudeiing
look.
'Pooty, ain't he?" said Jake, regarding
ihe small figure with interest. 'Looks
just liko—atieml—you. Poor-little—l
a—' he stammered and treated bis hat
like a mortal enemy. 'o* course he's had
—you've got—ther aiu't iiothin' 1 could
do fnr yer, may be?'
She answered with a grateful look,
but it was accompanied by a shake of the
head.
Jake bent down, and, wilh his biff fore
finger, softly rumpling the hair of (he
baby's head. Then he weut out and left
them, Blake's widow sitting as he had
found her, and the baby staring down
the path after him.
lie walked on until he reached the top
ot the little hill, where he could look
down upon the roof which covered the
plteeus scene l>o had just left. Here he
seemed to hare half a mind to tarn back,
for he hesitated and stopped, but he
changed his partial intention after linger
ing a moment and walked pieditatively
Onward, wilh the exclamation, 'Well,
some women do beat thiugs amazing.'
11.
Of course everybody wont to the trial.
The arrangements were soon found to
be altogether too mcagie. l'itblado's
shed was filled to overflowing, Haggott
made a clean sweep ot every empty box
in his store.
Antonio's lawyer, a slmrp-eyod, sharp
feat uied fallow from tialveston, had bus
tled about with surprising agility on the
day previons holding mysterious confer*
ence with ill-coiidiiioued fellows ol Guel
do's kidney.
Jake Smith w%s highly dissatisfied, and
even the judge was heard to utter some
misgivings: however, bv the time tbe
proceedings had really commenced lie
gained confidence. >
The conrt was assembled, the jnry had
been chosen and the witnesses were ail
present save one—Blake's widow.
Pretty soou there was a stir at the'
door; then a murmur of surprise ran
through the crowded room.
'May Ibe blamed,' said Jake Smith,
audibly, 'il she hasn't brought her bat
by?»
What reason sbe may have had for not
leaving the little thing in charge ol
some sytnpathyzing woman— mid there
were plenty who would have been glad
of the trust—was not apparent; however
that might be. there it was clasped firm
ly in her arms, lu bright red cheek con*
treating with ber whiteness, and its fa
thers sonny hair mingled with ber dark
locks.
With some difficulty way was made
through the throng to ber seat, which
bad been placed on one side ol tbe judge
directly opposite tbe candle-box on the
other, where Antonio sat. Sbe took her
place and never moved during tbe whole
of tbe trial, excepting as sbe was required
to testily, and once when the baby tog
ged at some glistening tbing that lay
bidden in the folds of ber dress, at wlifcb
site took pains to distract its attention
wilb a chip from the floor.
As for Ihe baby it eRt there with its
big bine eyes open to thefr fullest extent,
entirely absorbed in the novel scene,save
at the mrment when thejrresistiblo glit
ter caught eye. >
Every one being now present the trial
went on iu good earnest. Afnnmber of
wituessesjwere.exainined, (whose testi
mony shoWed that Gueldo had had trou
ble with Blake, and more than once
threatened Ins lite; that Gucldo's pistui
was one charge short on Ihe evening of the
day of Ihe murder, whereas in the morn-,
ing it had been lull; that he was seen
that morning.around Blake's house, and
more than nil tlint Blake's widow had
heard Gucldo's voico just before the la
ta! shot, and had seen hisr retreating
form as she ran in.
At this last point Ihe Galveston lawyer
asked the wilnessja few questions regard
ing how she knew it was Gucldo, and
how she had recognized the voice lor his.
She didnt know how exactly, but was
none the less sure for l|iat. .
There had been a rumor about that
some one had heard Antonio make a
boast of'having done for Blake this time'
bnt if there were a witness for this he
could not be found,
And so the prosecution closed.
The Galveston lawyer begau by involv
ing in a whirlpool of hopeless contradic
tion the witnesses who hud sworn lo
have seen Gueldo near Blake's house,
then he expatiated on the ease with which
one person may be mistaken for aiiother
and brought a witness to show bow Gn«»
eldo had already been said to resemble
some ono in the village. Finally hep ro«
duced three ot (be ill-conditioned fellows
betore referred to. wtio swore that AIIN
tonio wan with them on a limiting expe
dition during the whole day ou which
tins murder was committed.
It was a clear case of alibi. Jake
Smith's astonishment at the case with
which this had been accomplished was
unbounded, ile threw a disgusted look
toward Pitblado, who seemed to be in
terested with things ill Jake's vicinity.
There was a pause before Pitblado
gave his charge, and whoa be arose liis
faca Was rather blank.
'Gentlemen of the jury,' said ha,
'things has took a turn 1 did'ntaltogeth
er expect. I d'ont know as there in
much to be said. I s'pose you've got to
go by the evidence, an' that don't need
any explaiuin'. Ef you kin make out
accordiu' to that that Antonio Guildo
killed Jim Blake, why just recollect
that's what you are here for.
, Tiie jury filed out and the expectant
audience occupied itself with tobacco
and whispered comments.
Jake Smith fidgeted about On his box
and cast anxious glances through the
open door, toward the clump of nopals
where the jury were then deliberat
ing. • •' •' ! ! ; -
Antonio talked and laughed in an un*
dertone with his counsel, and Blake's
widow sat staring at them with com
pressed J'ps, and a strong expression of
of determination coming intb her face.
It wasnVlbng before the jury filed in
again, and seated themselves by the
spokesman, and judge Pitblado rose,
wiping liis lorehead with his snirt*
uleeve.
'Straightened, it out hare yer?' asked
he nodding to the spokesman.
The man nodded slowly in return.
'Wul, let's have it then.'
'Yer see,' Said the Kpokcsman, with a
hesitating and disappointed uir, 'ef yvs
liadu't a corralled IM with stickin' t-r
the evidence, we might a done betUr,
but accordiu' ter that, Antonio wasn't
there when the murder was done, and el
he warn't th ir ho could'nt a done it au'
ef he did'nt do it, why—then —of course
he's— not guilty.''
Pitblado did'nt dare to look at Any
body; he stared up at the ratters—duwu
at the table—nowere in particular; and
then turned halfway towards Anto
nio.
'Von kin go,'said lie, speaking with
great deliberation, 'but I wouldn't stay
round here too long.
There was a doad pause for a minute,
and nobody moved.
Jake Smith exploded a*single expres
sive word, which lie had held in for some
time paat, and Blake's widow stood
up.
'Have you got through, judge,' she
asked.
Well, —a'pose so.'
'And there's nothing more to be
doue?'
Ttne/raid there ain't.'
'Aliohe's free to go!'
•Y-a-a
Antonio Gueldo roan with an insolent
grin, and picked up his hat.
The baby crowed for it saw the glit
tering thing again.
There was a sharp report—Antonio
pitched forward in a heap U|>on the floor
and Blake's widow atood with the pistol
pressed to her breast.
A line of thin blue smoke curled up
from the mazzlejof the weapon, and form
ed a halo around the child* flaxen head,
the glittering thing was quite near the
little hands now, and they look it from
the yielding grasp of the mother.
Blake's widow looked steadily at the
figure on the floor—it was quite motion
less—then ahe turned and went through
the passage opened for her by the silent
crowd, holding the baby very tenderly,
and the baby cariyiog tho pistol.
The child laughed with delight; it had
got it« tihiuiug plaything at lust .—Boston

There is almost universal satisfaction
with Hie Legislutuio's action in selliug
the Western Railroad, But our excel
lent friend of tho Wnrsaw Brief Mention
is yet very seriously disturbed about a
matter or which wo thought this news*
paper had thoroughly informed its read
ers. The Br'wf Mention says that 'Mr.
'lhotnus Wallace and others, capitalists,

worth $100,000,000, made a plain straight
forward propos.lion * * * a. hundred

proposition, tho Briqf Mention says, was
dismissed with contempt, though it was
the only oiler made which would ensuro
the construction ol the Ducktnwn Road,
besides filling' ihe fcitato Treasury with
much needed cash.
Our f'-ieinl is altogether In error. The
proposition was made on March 23J, and
was snbinit'ed to the Legislature on that
day. it was at once referred to a Special
Committee which reportel, ifter thorough
consideration, that the mutter was all

For ways that are dark and tricks that

young fellow who was driven not long

two tbousank per cent profit, fell ill down
ill tho wilds of New Jersey, one day.

noon we were making lor the little tav

we intended to" pass lhe night. The
Yankee as we passed a little pile ot peb

large as the other. lam going to pay

with these two pebbles, ile put them in

them till after we had eateu oar sapper,

fire—the Yankee, the landlady and I.
lie woe a spectacle pedler, and carried
his wares in a little green box. He had
a dimming habit of saying to poople
whenever lie got a chance. 'Your eyes
1 are in a pretty bad way, they won't la«t
long.' lie said this to the Una lady, and'
she replied ihst.she was afraid thai was
true, lor they had. been troubling her a
good deal lately.

'The landlady said that she thought It
looked like any other white pebbe that
could be picked up anywhere. The spec
tacle man laughing at the poor woman's
ignorance, said if she could pick up » lew
stones like that she'd soon make her tor*

ported from Germany. 'I make an eye
water from those pebbles,' said he, 'that

The old lady was incredulous, and for
