PROCEEDINGS OF Tl rE CRIMINAL COURT Trial of William Wright Parker, for the, Murder of Willianj Childress, in March, :L8C3. Wra. Wright Parker, charged with the murder of William Childress, in March, 1883, was orougnc . oerore tne unmmai Uourt on yesterday, John L. Holraes, Eiq. Solicitpr, appeared for the; State, and Hon. Hugh Waddell, Col. A. M. Wad- ell, ana Julius W. Wright, Esq., for the pris mer. The Court was engaged until 12 o'clock of the! forenoon in empanneling a jury, and the remainder of the day, until candle light in the evening, was taken up in the delivery of the evidence. It must be premised here that two others besides Parker were originally lodged in jail, charged with the sauie murder. Their names! were Dunn and Runciraan, but they both died in jail, and Parker alone remain ed to be tried for a mordcr committed four and a half years ago. " Parker is a young main, apparently not more than thirty years old, of a slim build, and perhaps about!. 5 feed 10 inches high, with a' very intellectual caste of countenance, and wjtth a large, restless roving eye. He appeared perfectly calm and collected throughout tiie whole' proceedings, chewing his tobacco with as much the. counsel before him. Henry l Perrin was nonchalance as did the first witness called and he deposed to the effect that in 18G3. as a Coroner, he held an inquest upon the body of a' white man, who was after wards identified to be yilliam Childress, and which was found in Smith's Creek ; that the body was terribly mangled, from gashes! on the head, body and arms." Near the place where the body was found there was evidence of a severe struggle having taken place, toy the grounds being torn up. The body was found on Tuesday, the" first of March and Dr. W. J. Love, resident physi cian, was called 'on to examine it. j When cross-examined by the defence, Mr. Perrin stated that there was mud at the edge of the water at the spot where the body was found, but some ten I i . ! . . fifteen feet far- ther, there was sand. The Evidence of the some grass was struggle was on the sand: there. The verdict of the iurv was delivered , v . - to Mr. Pollock, deputy cl;rk, at the City iiaii. ' . ; . i '. . r';-' (The Judge here ruled out all evidence regardiig'. the inquest Verdi ct) j ' MichaclBarry was next called, and stated thate knew William Childress, who was a workman ; at the W. & 'W.JR R. Co. shop ; thathe iboarded with him from th Wednes day before he was killed, ur til the following Sunday that he was a nice man, regular at his meals, &c. He had a gold watch with a small gold chain attached, also $100 in greenbacks, in $20 bills, stated to the witness that . The deceased ., .i he had left his watch ,with another man for sle, but on his (witness1) advice, got it. on Thursday, and gave it to witness to sell 'tor him, but on Friday, reclaimed it. After the death cf Childress, the watch and chain was handed to witness, who recognized i to the best of the knovyledge and be'.iaf the witness, it was Childjess' watch. Deceased also had British protection papers,, which he had shown wit ness, and had informed him that by that means he escaped conscription. He also showed him the greenbacks they were the seen. The last first the witness had ever time that-witness saw Childress, was on Sun day morning at breakfast ; he left directly afterwards, and shortly theaeafter a man nrmed Runciman earner in with message from Childress, requesting him to sa?e him a bottle of liquor, which he did. This was about 1 oclock on Sunday ; witness never saw Childress again alive, but saw saw him dead at Camp Laml with at least seventeen wounds in his body. The. watch of deceased was handed bv Coroner Perriti to the witness, when he (witness) recognized it. Cross Examined. Witness saw deceased on Tuesday, dead; the inquest was held on Wednesday. Pr. W. J. Love testified that he was called on to examine the body of a Lamb, said to be Childress, m m ' at Camp who had been murdered. That there were twenty wounds in the body of deceased ; that three of them would. have caused death, and that he sup posed his1 death was caused ay two wounds on the head and one under the arm pit. The latter was made by a knife, through the fourth rib, and ( into the lungs. A bowie knife about eighteen inches in length, and clotted with blood had been handed to wit ness, and the blade of this juit fitted a large wound over the liver. The ; gash under the right side of the armpit was s bout four inch es long. . I C. Curtjohn was next ! called to the stand, whose testimony was, ; in substance, - tif m. . .. . M r K 1 1 paoa as iol- lows :; Witness never, saw.Uhildress until on a Saturday, about the last ot March 1863. TTft had then hired a housei from' witness brother, i Witness believes that the , ?bodj was found the Monday or Tuesday after. After renting the house, deceased went to another house, about two blocks tfL called the Whitehall House, and a3ked it any wo men lived in the house. Was told not to go, but did go there ; witness saw him g. Kerr, Parker and Runciman were there ; at the time; witness had seen - them in this house before this, at about two o'e'lock on Sunday. Parki r and Runciman came to my brother's house, for a quart of whisky : brother, said he didn't have it ; they tried to get iti but could not, .and then went off. They came back again and Went to the Mit chell house about two and a-half or three o'clock. A little after four o'clock, saw - - Parker, Runciman,! Childress, and another mah, thought to be Dunn; walking out to wards the woods. Had seen Childress have a single case gold watch ; that day ; noticed 4 with a gold slide and chain ; examined slide closely, didn't see after the body was found. Childress had greenbacks and Con federate money also. Deceased had spoken for ja bed in the house he had hired for that (Sunday) night, but didn't cornel Cross Examined by defence. Saw Chil dress on Sunday; als.o saw Runciman and Parker, and thinks, Dunn. Saw them come outj of the Mitchell House, a little after fou o'clock. Old lady called Mrs. Mitchell and her daughter lived .there. Couldn't tswear to the watch lie sawjf didn't examine money. Alex. Brown was next called. Stated that xe knew Wm;. Childress in 1833 ; saw him last about the 29th of March,' on Sun day. Saw him at flick Curtjohn's; knew that lie had gold watch and about $100 in greenbacks. Left him at Curtjohn's. Ex amined the watch carefully; it Was patent lever watch with single case; had guard chain with slide; saw it ou the day the body was identified, and recognized it. Was shewn to him by Sheriff Vann after the in quest. Was one who identified the body ; will wear that the watch was the same. Examined by the Defence. There was a particular mark on .the watch; will swear that it is the same watch. Childress worked in shop .with him, and he had seen the watch often. Re examined by State Counsel. Identified watc i by mark on crystal; saw it on Sunday before the murder, and examined it; not onlv recognized it bv broken crystal, but from fact of its being ihree hole jeweled. Child ress worked -Within three feet of me in the shop; will swear positively to the watch. Dri D. M. Bule called and sworn. Teiti tied that he was in this city in latter part of March, 1863. Was Provost Marshal of the city; heard of murder of Childress. A row occurred about that time and several par ties were arrested, among wiom were Run ciman and Parker. The former was report ed badly wounded, and was turned over to physician for treatment, and Parker was de tained until next morning.. There was no charge against bim, but as he was liable to military service he was detained in prison. Next morning the Sheriff demanded him ; I refused, but let the Sheriff see Parker. He said Parker was concerned in the murder of Childress. I went in with the Sheriff and had Parker brought out to us. Witness told him there-was a serious charge against him; was on his guard, and would say noth ing. Sheriff wanted to see what money he had; showed his pocket book, with small amount of Confederate money. He was asked; for his watch; said he had none. None was found in his cell. A long knife was shown and claimed bv prisoner. The knite was of an ordinary home make, with- out a blood scabbard, and with appearance of on it. Prisoner' was asked how the blood came on it;, said he did-not know. Sheriff pointed to blood on Parker's coat,1 but prisoner said he didn't know how it got there. One of the prisoners then said "there is Parker's watch" ; took watch and said. i "Parker, if this is not your watch, Til keep it." Parker at ifirst denied the watch, but afterwards took it and said it was his ; f said that he brought it from Virginia. Parker rrave as his reason for the denial that he had been called on the evening previous1 by an officer I from Virginsa, who demanded the watch,! and he was feaTful that the present wa3 some plan to get the V watch. , Witness jrave the' watch. and knife to Sheriff Vann; had never seen the watch since. Examined by the Defence. More particu lars in regard to the row spoken of were stated. Arrest of Runciman and Parker took pi ace previous to conversation with the Sheriff; There were no charges against bim at time- of conversation. Witness couldn't swear positively that; the spots on the coat were blood. T. Jefferson Smith next testified that he knew Childress in March 1863 ; had been with him about six days before he was killed ; knew that he had a gold watch ; saw it the Sunday morning, before the Tuesday on which the body was found. Saw it again same night about il o'clock; Parker then had it; and was putting it in his side pock et ; witness next saw the watch in the Sher iffs hands; it was the cause of his afterwards haying Parker arrested. Parker and Run ciman were together when he saw them ; both vrere wet;; and their clothes looked dirty and soiled"; it had rained a little ; seemed to be excited at the time ; . saw the watch! which was brought out of jail by the Sheriff. Did'nt examine it. Saw it Sunday morning, and in the Court House afterwards, and had no doubt the watch belonged : to Childress.
