AN UNEXPECTED WITNESS. A STARTLING COURT SCKNE. BY AN OLD CONTRIBUTOR. Ua ray last visit to Mississippi i ar rived one nlaesant Autumn eveuine at the village of Deepivoods, having, come in the stage that day; from Moody Creek. I found the inn well filled, and learned that the circuit court was in session there. At the s'lpper-table I found the judge and some half dozen lawyers, be sides the county otncers and numerous visitors who had come to attend the tri fels. 1 had some business to transact With a merchant in the place, whose name was Landor Wallace, and I madf ip .mv mind to call ' upon him during Ihe evening. I knew wheie his store was. and after teail walked down to the place. The building was ail fast, however and I turned my steps towards Ins dwelling. I knocked at the door, land my summons was answered by a black woman. .1 asked her if Mr. Wal lace was at home. She looked into my face a few moments, and then burst in- to tears. i "He's to hum, but he's dead !" she sobbed, with much effort. I managed to learn from the n"gress that Wallace had been murdered three days before, and that his murderer would be tried on the morrow. Under such circumstances I could not disturb any other of the family, and having gathered from the jslave the leading particulars I left the door and returned to the inn. There I learned some fur ther matters touching the murder, but those who uuderstooe the subject fully were busyt and I was forced to wait until to-morrow for a clear knowledge of the cause. 1 Though the murder had been com mitted so recently, the body having not yet been buried, yet as the court was in session and the accused and witness On hand, the trial was to take place im mediately, j On the the following morning T en tered the court-room! with the crowd, and the first case which came up was that of the murder of Landor Wallace. The accused was aj young man, not over five-and-twenty, named Edward Demarton. lie had been employed lor several years as Wallace's chief clerk, and was one of the most capable youths in the country. I had some dealings with him, and had learned to love and respect him. He was lightly built, re markahy handsome with a native pride, and bore himself which, while it gave him firmness and dignity, never made rum haughty or overbearing. H was an orphan, ot b rench descent and had been l)orii and reared in New Or leans. As he sat in the prisoner's box I could see him plainly. He was very pale, and seemed to suffer much ; yet he did not look like a guilty man. could not believe that ne mo. ever com milted a murder. He was too bravv and honorable for that. At length the trial commenced. The witnesses came on and gave their testi nioiiv, and ray heart I sank within me as I found bow strongly the tide of cir cumsrances set aeeinsi him. It was proved that he had wished to mnrry with Landor Wallaces niece, a youn girl named Isabel Wallace and that the uncle had objected. From this a quar " rel had ensued, and (he youth had left Wallace's service, Itjwas furthermore proved that Demarton had challenged Wallace to fight a duel, and that the merchant had refused on the ground that he could not consent to meet one whom he still regarded in the light of a son. Then it was proved that the youth was very wroth Lit this, and that he swore Mr. Wallace, should "either fight or suffer the consequences.'' H was determined to have satisfaction. On the morning of the murder the merchant started on Dantonvilie. and in half an hour after awards the prisoner, mounted his horse, stud started after him, saying, as he leaped into the saddle,! that he u would easily overtake Mr. Wallace." And then he added, 1:1 presence ot" three witnesses, who sworej to the words : I can settle our trouble as well on the road to Dantouville as anywhere!" M his was at six o'clock in the evening, At nine o'clock a man named Harold Dunk Harold, he was called was com ing from Dantouville, and in a small piece of wood through which the road ran, he came upon the body of Landor Wallace, and at the same time he saw Edward Demarton riding away from the . ;$pot The . moon was shining brightly, and he recogused the pnsouer veryjlainly He leaped from his sad dle, and found the merchant senseless, and bleeding freely "from several deep wounds. Close by he found a silver handled bowie-knife which had been proved to be the prisoner's property. The knife was covered with . blood, and the physicians had decided that the wounds had been made with it. The murdered mau had also' received a blow upon the head which jwas nearly suf ficient to kill. This Dunk Harold was a hard-looking customer. He was a stout, broad shouldered man, somewhere about for- ty years of age, with dark, coarse, ani mal features, and looked the perfect villain.- In-defense it was proved that Harold had had some difficulty with j tne prisoner, and tliai ne nau sworn to have revenge ; but this amounted to but little. Surely the case seemed very clear against the prisoner. He had had diffi culty with the murdered man chal lenged him to mortal combat sworn to have revenge lollowed him on the road to Dantouville with the avowed purpose of settling the trouble .but seei? to floe fromthn blei'dmg body his knife found all bloody by the murdered man's side and, when he was apprehended, his own hands and clothes were bespattered wiih blood ! Were not ih' cucum- stances conciUMve i At. an events, so they weie generally received. , At length Edward irvmartoii was per mitted to tell his story. He arose, and though he was pale and wan, vet his voice was firm He first . called upon God to witness that he Sfoke the truth. and then he went on. He said on tin; afternoon before the murder be had spent over two hours with Mr Wallace; and that all their difficulty had been settled, and that the merchant had then explained to him that his only objection to the marriage of Isabel had been the lact that tie bad piomised her father, on his dying-bed, that she should not be married until she was twenty years of age. "We made our differences all up at that time," continued Demarton, and Mr. Wallace asked me it I would come back into his service. He said if I had been willing to have asked the reason of his refusal of Isabel's hand he would have given it, bni I was hot and impe- mot is, and ne was a little nettled by it, so he resolved to tell me notbinrr. He. naa just asKed me it I would come j ... . . back into his service when some one entered the store who wished to see him I told him 1 had planned to go to Dan touville that evening, but would call on him when I returned. He said he had got to go to Dantouville, too, and bade me cult on him in that place, at the same time signifying that he could ar range matters there. After that I went over by the lake, and when 1 came back learned that Mr. Wallace had been gone half an hour. I got my horse rea dy at once, and .when about to start I did make the remarks which have been sworn to: but 1 made them iokinelv. in view of the friendly meetintr we were to have, littlw thinking of what was to occur. I rode on. and at the distance of som ten miles, in the little wood, 1 found Mr. Wallace's hoise standing by tne side ot the road. A little further on I found the merchant weltering in his Mood. 1 leaped from my saddle and knelt down by the side of the body. I turned the face ut and called his nam' several times. The flesh was yet wa rm, but life seemed extinct. I got my hands and clothes thus tpattered with Wood, but 1 thought not of that. When 1 found that life was gone, and that I could not well handle the body alone, I remounted my horse and started back for help. i - it nas neeu urged mat it 1 had re ally sought help 1 would fiave ridden on towards Dantouville. where I could have found it within half a mile, rather than towards a point where there was no house for over six miles. Bin I could not Mop to think then. My first in-tinct was towards him, and I followed it. J had gone fonr miles when my horse fell. He was too lame to trot. Soon after wards I was overtaken 'by Dunk siarold and another man, who arrested me for murder. With regard to the knife the knife, found was mine, and it had been stolen from me that day." the youth sat down as he ceased speaking, and die judge shook his head "Any one can invent a story like that," he said, in his charge to the jury. u but no one could have invented the circumstances which bear asramst the piisoiier." In short mere seemed to be no hope tor tne yotitli. 1 hough people pitied him, yet I could see that they shook their head dubiously when he plead his innocence, The judge had summed the evidence all up, makiug it more stiong against the prisoner than before if possible, and the jury were upon the poini of rciir ing. when a sudden commotion was nercei.- tible at trie door, and in a moment more a young girl, or maiden, rushed into the chesnur hair floating wildly iuthe wind, her bosom leaving deeply, and her eyes fanly burning witli intense eagerness. It was Isabel Walfcfffce. She was a beautiful girl; tall, straight, and nobly projr tioned ; with a face of striking loveli ness, and a form at once voluptuous and queenly. She cast one quick glance tiion the prisoner, full of love, eager ness and hope, and then turning to the judge, she crisdt Is he tried yet, sir ? Is he found guilty?' " Not yet but he soon will be," an- sweied the judge, overcoming his aston ished as quickly as possible tor the ben efit of his dignity. Uh ! he s innocent f He s innocent : (he fxir girl exclaimed.
