The Case of the Notorious Johit
Allen Ketchy An Important De
cision by Judge BoYDEN.The
cumstancca connected with -the
named , case are thus stated by the
"SeatineF in its yesterday's issue": .
The notorious John Allen Ketchy, as
many of our readers will remember, was
convicted some years ago at Guilford
Court of horse stealing, and sentenced
to seven years in the Penitentiary, but
escaped from Guilford jail, and re
mained at large until the Christmas
holidays when he was'arrested near Sal-
isoury oy Messrs. oamuel Itecves, jr.,
John Beard and D. L. BringleJ and
placed in Rowan jail. Afterwards J.
G. Haughton, Mayor of Salisbury, issued
his warrant for Ketchy. charging him
with a rape upon the person ot a
very respectable young lady last Sum
mer, and being adjudged, on an ex
amination had before him. that there
was probable cause, committed, him for
the capital offense to the jail of Rowan.
Thereupon the sheriff of Guilford made
application to Mr. Justice Boyden, ot
.the Supreme Court, for a writ of habeas
corpus so as to enable him to take
Ketchy out of the hands of the sheriff
of Rowan, to the end that he might be
carried to the Penitentiary to serve out
his sentence for horse stealing, and set
ting forth in his petition substantially
the facts we have stated. Judge Boy
den, by consent, retained the petition
until after he came here to attend to
his duties in the Supreme Court, and
has just decided, that as between the
sheriffs of Rowan and Guilford, Ketchy
must remain in the custody of the sheriff
of Rowan."
After arriving in the city. Judge
Boyden "rendered his decision as fol
lows :
la this case it appears in the petition,
that the prisoner, John Allen Ketchy,
has been convicted of the crime of lar
ceny in the Superior Court of Guilford,
and sentenced to five years imprison
ment at hard labor in the Penitentiary
at Raleigh. It further appears that
when in custody of the Sheriff, and
before he had been delivered to the
Keeper of the Penitentiary, the said
prisoner made his escape ; and while at
large be is charged with having com
mitted a capital felony in the county of
Rowan, and that for this alleged offence
the said prisoner has been arrrested and
regularly committed to the custody of
the jail of Rowan county, there to await
his trial for the alleged felony, to wit :
for the crime of rape,, and where he is
now held in custody. . The application
for the writ, of Habeas Corpus is on the
part of the. Sheriff of Guilford, from
whose custody he escaped, for the pur
pose, as he states in his petition, of de
livering the said prisoner to the Keeper
oi the renitentiary.
Upon the above statement of facts, I
am of opinion that the petitioner is not
entitled to the custody of said prisoner,'
tor the purpose alleged ; but so far as
this application is concerned, the said
John Alle& Ketchy must be retained iu
custody where he is now confined, there
to await his trial for the crime for
which he has been committed : and
sho aid he be convicted, he must there
undergo the penalty denounced against
the crime of rape: but should he be
acquitted of this charge, he will then
be sent to the prison - at Kaleigh, there
to suffer the imprisonment at hard labor
for the term fixed in his sentence by the
judgment upon his conviction of the
crime ot larceny.
I will here lurther remark, that, in
my opinion, . the ohentt oi Ouiliord
will be entitled to the same relief, if any,
so far as the escape is concerned, by his
confinement, at the instance of the
State, in the jail of Rowan, as he would
be had he obtained the custody of the
prisoner and delivered liim to the keeper
of the penitentiary.
The application for the writ of habeas
corpus is reiused.

DEATH SENTENCE TO BE PRO
NOUNCED TO-DAY.
The grand finale of what was known
in our columns as the Hicks outrage
occurred yesterday by the conviction of
the parties by a jury, ten twelfths of
1 which was colored men.
The circumstances connected with
the case, of which a full and detailed
account were given at the time in the
News, are briefly as follows :
The three colored men, Simpson
Mordecai. Tom Griffice, and
Alfred - Jones v called at the
store of Mr. Hicks, about . four miles
from this city at about 12 o'clock, and
and after entering the store, attempted
the murder of the proprietor, which
they; thought they had accomplslied.
The store was then robbed of such arti
cles as they could' take away, and Mr.
Hicks left for dead on the floor. Next
day,1 the city police,under the charge of
Officers King and Farriss, were sent out
to ferret out and hunt up the case. In
24 hours the parties above named were
arrested and brought before the Mayor.
The evidence was plain and conclusive,
and the Mayor very properly committed
them to the county jail, refusing bail.

lugsot which was published in our
yesterday's issue.
Yesterday the argument before the
jury commenced, Messrs. Edwards and
Devereux for the defense and Messrs.
Cox and Lewis for the prosecution. At
the close of the argument, Judge Watts
delivered an able and elaborate charge
to the jury, who retired and in a lew
minutes returned a verdict of uguilty in
manner and form as charged in the bill
of indictment.
The Judge reserves his sentence till
to-day, when the law requires him to
pronounce the awful sentence of death
upon the perpetrators of this most
hellish outrage.
We forgot to mention, in the proper
place, that Alfred Jones was permitted
to turn State's evidence and a r.ol. pros.

Death-Bed of Napoleon.
London, Jan. 10. Empress Eugenie
and all the household of ;Chiselhurst
were present at the bed-side pt Napoleon
when he died: The Emperor showed
it signs ot consciousness towards
his last moments, and spoke to the
Express twice in a very feeble tone of
voice. The last indication) ot life was
a smile, when the Empress knelt and
kissed uer dying Thusband. She was
completely overcome by her emotions
and fainted at the bed-side;. The Pxinee
Imperial, who had been summoned. by
telegraph from Wolivich arrived at
Cheselhursf fifteen 'minutbs after the
the death of the Emperor. He was
greatly affected and kissed the face of
hie dead father several times. The
Emperor died peacefully.
He passed arvny without the slightest
sign of pain. His death is attributed
to syncope or embolism. A post mortem
examination of the remains will be
made to-day. The body; ; will lie in
state several days previous to the fu
neral. ; V- j ...
Eugenie knelt at the bedside several
hours after the death of the Emperor,
engaged in prayer. Her Maiesty,
Queen Victoria, has sent a; message ' of
condolence to the Empress in her sad
bereavement. The Prince of Wales
and Prince Teck visited Chiselhurst
yesterday. I
The remains of the Emperor will
probably be placed temporarily in St.
Mary's Church. The Prince of Wales,
who is at present, the guest of Baron
Rothschild, at Acton, has requested the
postponement ot all French plays at the
Theatres in London, as well as a ball
which was about to be given in his
honor.

, A Penitentiary Convict Attempts
to Escape He was Shot by the
Guard. Yesterday evening, while
number of the convicts at the Peniten
tiary were at work on tbe outside of
the stockade, a colored man by the
name of Riley Mauning attempted to
make his escape by flight to the woods
near by. A member of- the guard
ordered him three time3 to halt, when
he leveled his gun upon him. Thi3
did not have the desired effect of stop
ping the convict, but the ball from the
gun did. As the guard nred his rifle
the unfortunate man fell dead in his
tracks.
Manning was from Columbus county,
and committed to the Penitentiary for
burglary. Coroner Magnin was notified
yesterday evening by t.ie officers of the
Peniteniary, and an inquest will be held
to-day.
Righteous Verdict. The trial of
Belc'i, who murdered Evans in Hertford
county about a year ago, and who was
subsequently arrested in Baltimore, was
concluded in Eden ton on Wednesday,
resulting in a verdict of murder in the

the petition ot the defense the case was
removed from Hertford to Edenton.

Supreme Court. Court met yester
day at 9 A. M. All of the Judges were
present.
The only case argued before the
3ourt was from the 2nd Judicial Dis
trict. John G. Blount vs. R. C Windley et
aZ Beaufort county. E. G. Haywood
for plaintiff and Phillips & Merrimon
for defendant.
This is a case of much interest, in
volving some very important points of
law. The question involved is whether
after the Commissioners of a Bank, ap
pointed under the act of 1866, for the
purpose of allowing the banks to go
into liquidation, had obtained a judg
ment against a debtor of the bank,
such debtor could purchase the notes of
the bank" and use them as a set off
against such judgment.
Mr. Haywood, counsel tor plaintiff,
! . I . A . . II ?
la contending mat tne acts allowing
bank notes to be used as set offs against
the claims of the bank does not embrace
his case, but if they do, then the acts'
are unconstitutional.
The case was argued at considerable
by Mr, Haywood, Mr. Phillips having
delivered his argument at the last term
ol the court.
The decision is looked for with great
interest, as many other cases of the
same nature are doubtless pending, in
litigation.
The consideration of appeals from
the 2nd District will be resumed to-day.

Arrested. As the following from
the Wilmington Star of the 5th inst,
has reference to a former resident of this
city we reproduce it in - our local
column : .
!"A coloredinan from Marion, S. C,
by the name of Heury Gotbold, who is
on a visit to this city, was made the
victim a day or two since of the tricks
of some of the colored sharpers in this
city, by which be was relieved of a
watch and chain that had been in his
possession for the last five years. The
names of the parties who effected the
swindle are W, n. Guiton, Henry
Brown and - Mitchell. The . two
former were arreted and lodged in the
Guard House. Suiton, the first one of
the party arrested, was ordered by Mar
shal Canaday to get the watch, and he
was sent off in charge of an officer for
that purpose. The chain was found
round the neck cf a colored. damsel by
the name of Henrietta, but the watch
had disappeared. Guiton was recogniz
ed by a man who formerly jresided in
Raleigh, who say he was compelled to
leave that place on account of similar
"indiscretions" to which be.seem3 to be
liable here. Mitchell is also said to hail
from Raleigh, while Brown belongs in JJ
j Matters for the County Commis
sioners. Complaint comes to us that
the crossing over Pigeon House branch,
on the Louisburg road, is almost im
passable. Citizens who haul over or
come over it their buggies or carria
do so at great iisk to their vehicles and
danger to ttemselves. This subiect of
bridges and crossings on the main
thoroughfares to this city has been
grossly negbcted, and we shall continue
to call it to the attention of the pioper
authorities until they are repaired.
At Walnut Creek, on the Fayetteville
road, there is constant danger of loss of
life to those who are forced to use it to
come to the city. At the same creek,
on the Holleman road, the bridge, as we
said on yesterday, is in a very danger
ous condition, and the ford can scarcely
be reached, the banks are so. steep. Let
the GrandJury take the matter in hand.
Those public officers who neglect this
matter ought to be made to perform
their duty.
We are also informed that all the
foot-crossings are washed away, and no
steps arevbeing taken to repair them.
To come to Raleigh now foot-passengers
must pull on and wade it.
