yf Southern Jury Acquits the
Slayer ofJUan If "ho Defamed
His Sister.
Memphis. Tenn., Feb. 16, 1887. The
most sensational iriai in the history of
criminal annals in Tennessee resulted
yesterday in the acquittal of Russell
Cxodwin for the murder of James T.
Dalton on the 6th day of December last,
in broad daylight, in the lobby of the
Peabody Hotel, under circumstances of
unparalleled atrocity,
The social position of the parties in
volved and the under current of scandal
that ran through the case made it a
matter of absorbing interest to the
public, and the reports o! the trial, as
published in the . daily, papers, were
awaited with interesting feagerness and
read with avidity. .The -murderer,
Russell Godwin, is the son of John R.
Godwin, a prominent cotton merchant
and bank president. The victim, Dal
ton, was a handsome young shoe clerk
out of employment, who was suspec
ted ot having a liason with Mrs. J. B.
Polk, the married sister of the murderer,
and who, it was alleged in extenuation
of the killing, boasted of his intimacy
with her.
SHOT DOWN.
Young Godwin found Dalton one
afternoon in the Peabody Hotel, sitting
with friends, engaged in conversation,
and, without a word of warning, shot
mm through the body with a pistol.
Dalton felt and Godwin fired three
more shots into his prostrated body.
The defence was transitory insanity,
superinduced bv brooding over defama
tory stories circulated by Dalton about
Godwin's sister. In proof ot this
charge the , defence proved that about
six months ago an anonymous letter
was received by the husband ot God
win's sister charging the latter with
gross misconduct at a watering place.
A letter from Dalton to Godwin's father,
requesting an interview, fixed the au
thorship ot the anonymous letter upon
Dalton. The elder Godwin granted
the interview and was informed by
Dalton that he was in possession of
compromising letters lrom the former's
daughter, which he was prepared to
sell tor $100. Godwin consulted with
friends, and upon their advice purchased
the letters, first taking caret6 mark
the bills as a foundation for a charge of
blackmail. The money was paid and
Dalton placed under arrest by the
police for blackmail and without a
trial, frightened into leaving town.
Upon his promise never to return, the
money paid him was taken from him
and returned to the elder Godwin, and
only a ticket and a few dollars in cur
rency left him.
HE REPEATED THE STORIES. I
Dalton went to Marianna, an accor
ding to depositions of reliable witnesses
there, openly boasted of his criminal
amours with Mrs. Polk.
A few days before the killing Dalton
returned to attend his sister's wedding,
and the shooting occurred as above.
Letters were introduced that bore a
strong resemblance to the handwriting
of Mrs. Polk breathing the most ardent
affection for Dalton, and containing
such endearing terms as "My blue
eyed darling boy."
THE PRISONER ACQUITTED
The Court charged the jury clearly as
to tne law, but it availed nothing.
After twenty-four hours'- consultation a
verdict ot not guilty was rendered.
The true inwardness of the verdict lies
in the fact that , some ot the jury are
supposed to have been -favorably to
Godwin before they were sworn. There
are no male Dalton's left to avenge the
murder, and the case will probably
rest where it is. The killing, tar from
vindicating the sister, has only tended
to circulate among millions-what had
been heretofore confined to the few.
The majority ot the public are disgus
ted with the result, but the chivalry ele
ment think it all right. As one of the
counsel expressed it, "The dead man
was a defamer ot woman and deserved
to. die a dog's death. "

Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 10
Captain C. H. Leroy, of Boston,
who has been prominent a3 a riding
master here, married a Chicago lady
a few days ago and is now a missing
man. .
Leroy was engaged some months
ago as instructor in a ladies riding
school opened in the armory of the
Light Horse squadron of this city by
that crack cavalry organization. He
came well recommended and became
very popular.
He went to Chicago early last week,
and in a Chicago paper there soon
appeared a notice of the marriage of
C. H. Leroy and Miss Jones. With
a lady he drove up to the Plankinton
House on Tuesday, and in the hotel
register appeared the entry " C. H.
Leroy and wife, Boston."
The bride was sent back to Chicago
next day, Leroy telling her he would
join her in the evening. During the
day ho told a friend who had seen
the marriage notice that it was a mi3
take. He also said that he was going
to Boston that night, since which
time he has not been seen here.
A letter that has been received here
from a friend of Mrs. Leroy stated
that Leroy had deserted his bride,
who was anxious to find him. It
stated that after the couple were mar
ried in Chicago they drove directly
to the bank, where Mrs. Leroy drew
out $600, her entire possessions, and
gave It to him. She is now left pen
niless. RESURRECTING THE DEAD.
Great Sensation Created in 7llln

Faithists.
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb, 17.
The remarkable story of a mother's
boundless faith given yesterday was
the talk of the town. The faith heal
ing mania has raged with much furv
in this city; but no one was prepared,
for this manifestation. .The fact that
the lady is apparently a woman of in
telligence and culture adds to the mys
tery of a faith which, in tho days of
miracles, would certainly have been
rewarded by one, and which even in
this materialistic age, did bring about
a partial miracle, if the mother's sto
ry cm be credited. The part of tho
story touching on tho . actual appear

upon as altogether too fabulous for

Horrible.
A story comes through the Morgan
ton Slar ot a woman named Crowson,
Jiving with her mother in Mitchell coun
ty, who had two children. They were
very poor, and the question ot making
some disposition ot the children they
could not support came up, and drown
ing them was decided on. On the way
to the river with her little "boy. who it
seems heard the discussion, he said.
"Mamma, please don't throw me into tl e
river to-dav, it's so cold." The child's
body was found in the river two weeks
after, and a jury ol inquest caused the ar
restpt the woman and she is now in jail
at Bakerville. awaiting her trial for mur
der. Who would have thought that there
was such gross ignorance and abject
poverty in the. goodly State of North
Carolina! There is more need of the
missionary than ot the hangman in the
region of this horribly wretched
home in ihe mountains. It is a case at
which the heart melts and unhuMn iMr
