Tl Verdict In the Oottlelb William Case
To the Editor of ITie Evening Tclryraph: I,
lii common with a great many other persons,
feci Try ronch troubled about the verdict
rendered in the case of Oottleib Williarus; and
without designing to make any ill-natured re
flections upon the jury who found hira guilty
(who were, I am informed, all highly respec
table and intelligent men), I must say that a
majority of persons, members of the bar,
physicians, and others, with whom I have
conversed, feel that the evidence against him
was not sufficiently conclusive to warrant a
onvktion. . Living in tho house and having
harge of a paralyzed person, knowing how
unable ehe is to undress herself, and do the
smallest act which requires strength, and that
a push from an infant will cause her to fall
(although not half so badly alllicted as
"Williams), 1 am thoroughly convinced that it
would have been quite impossible for him to
have done this murder.
Amongst the evidence brought forward as
indicating a guilty and remorseful conscience,
is that on the day of the murder lie took a
narcotic, with the view of ending his life.
Witnesses proved that they heard him say
that "he was weary of life, and intended com
mitting suicide." All who know anything of
paralyzed persons know, also, that even those
most comfortably situated, those whose means
are large, who have loving friends, careful
attendance, the best medical advice, are con
tinually longing for death, and are often
tempted to end the life of enforcod inac
tivity and weariness by suicide. (Jottleib
Williams was a poor, homeless wanderer, sub
sisting on the charity of a brother not well
able to'bear the burden of his support, quite
unable from his disease to provide a living for
himself, looking forward only to a lite of
penury and misery.
What wonder, then, that upon the approach
of a day so fraught with painful associations
as a birthday to those of middle life (however
comfortably surrounded) must always be, he
should have resolved never to see another
anniversary so full of sorrowful remcm
Irances T
I have seen Williams and talked with him
in his cell, and have heard from him that for
two years' lie has been totally paralyzed on
one side, and partially so on the other, and
tliat for the first year after the strokes (he has
had two) was entirely helpless and confined
to his bed. His left side is devoid of feeling
and motion, shrunken and limp as a rag, and
his right also bears the same appearance, in a
less degree. He seems scarcely to realize
what his conviction involves, and has the man
ner of one wholly overcome with astonish
ment at the conclusion to which the jury
arrived. He thinks that the evidence cer
tainly was insufficient for his conviction, and
that his previous bad name did the business
for him.
He is shrewd and intelligent, calmly reviews
the whole testimony, points out discrepancies
which he thinks the jury could not have con
sidered at all, speaks of the entire absence of
any motive he could have had for such a deed,
says Mrs. Miller was always particularly kind to
him, wonders how any one who could commit
a murder for the sake of plunder would stoop
to take off the large and swollen joints of tho
finger a ring comparatively worthless, and
leave a purse containing several dollars lying
untouched (as the evidence shows) close at
hand. This, too, when the doors might have
been closed and locked, and , the house ran
sacked at leisure. He does not seem angry
with the witnesses, but thinks they testiiied
to what they believed to be the truth, although
they were mistaken in the day, they having
seen him on Tuesday, instead of Wednesday
morning, enter the alley leading to the house.
However this may be, I, for one, believe
him innocent, and feel that it will be terrible
heyond expression to execute him for the
murder. D. D. R.
AMUSEMENTS.
Concert of the Mendelssohn Society-.
A iarije and brilliant audience assembled in ino
Musical Fund Hall, on Saturday evening last,
on the occasion of the ooncert of the Men
delSHuhn Society. The Society numbered up
wards of two hundred aud fllty voices, and the
ellect of the various choruses given during the
evening was sublime In the extreme.
The iloth Psalm of Mendelssohn was per
formed with the greatest spirit and ellect, una
to the great delight of the discriminating audi
ence. The splendid duo at the beginning of it, "In
His Hands are all the Corners of the Earth,"
was sung witU the deepest fervor and feeliug
toy Miss Cuuulnglou and Miss Forbes, Miss
Cunnington's rich soprano fairly revelling In
the beautiful music of her part of It.
Mr. Bishop's solo, "Come, let us worsbip,"was
sung In good taste and wuu proper emphasis,
ana the grand choruses "Come let us sing,"
"The Sea is His," and "The Lord is a Great
God" were magnificently rendered. In fact,
the whole work was disposed of In a manner
that showed the careful rehearsal that had
been given to ll.aud the talent of those engaged
In its performance.
The duett "Sweet Tears," In the second part
of the Concert, by Mrs. Behreosand Miss Oorm
ley, was a delicious rendering of one of the
most beautiful efforts of Pacini. It whs raptu
rously encored. Miss Black burne's clear, ringing
noprauo and excellent method were very
advantageously displayed in Kosslui'g "La
Charite," which was admirably executed. The
pianoforte playint? of Mr. Henry O. Thunder,
in the Fantasia of Beethoven, was artistic In the
highest degree, and the dlmculties of the part
were surmounted with all the ease and grace of
the finished executant. Mr. Thunder has evi
dently studied Beethoven deoply, as his inter
pretation of the Fantasia was the most finished
and satisfactory we have ever heard iu this
fountry. The warmth, brilliancy, and dash of
is execution were prominent features iu the
production of the work, and his effort uenerally
was such as to win the unqualified approbation
of all who heard it.
The chorus of the Fantasia was also effectively
rendered, and the solos were likewise com
jnendably given.
Mr. Jean Louis, the Directorof the Society, led
on the occasion, and ucquttted himself grace
fully and In every way satisfactorily.
The concert, altogether, was one of the best of
the season, aud lias added, we think, another
laurel to the wreath of suceei-sos already won by
the Mendelssohn.
