Tom, vrith a. 'liold on a minute, can't
ou.J." hastened to answer,-nnd, to his eur
rise, in came a group of men, headed by
poulro Ertell, who 'HVed ilortrl by Oltcr
6hU noadSililB piogistrate and most
pitminent politician of tjiat,poclion. The
rJrty,had been riding hard and fast, and
hfd that indescribable look about them
wjiich means business of importance.
- lEwcll, crossing to Foster, euid in that rich,
tep voice, sd well known, at.publlo meet
ings thereabout!
I "Tom, my mission j here this' Christmas
6iornlpg is anything bill pleasant. Sfollio
Williams has be'eft' fodnd ' murdered at the

( Foe(er atld hi wife uttered a cry sllntllU

."Hid you not have well) all assignation

"I swear to Ood I did not see. her last

upon the Cablo. A,.sound came from his
wife, drowncd in tho clatter of the dish'c'8.
"I can pror (hat I eat up with Dick
Doylo."
"Ilcrtf comes j trial you did not go to tho
rtdncclairiummer's? Your wife Was Ihere
but strange to aay, aloHs'."
"My wife was not thefe", Bcjiiire; ahd I as
sure you thatyou aro just asfar wfnng about
my having been With Wollio Willlaina.1'
And he tamed' with a pallid Sritile lil
Mattie. But a ghost could not have startled
him more than Ibe sight ot his wife's whlto
face.
Eweli was an educated man and a man of
feeling. The scene distressed him: bat, of
course, about duty thcro could.be no tJesita
Hon.
"Tom, In a case like this t don't, wish to
placo any niflS at a disadvantage, even in
the face of the dreadful evidence already
accumulated. But tfc carl show that you
had an assignation with Mollio 'Williams
last night by means of the man who brought
you tiip note, lou were not at Doyle's till
eleven o'clock) you were not-at rinmmer's
ball with ;rour wife; and yon were not at
home when she returned, as we can prove
by Joe 'Williams, )tho accompanied her.
The chain is complete except a single link
we need a witness to show beyond doubt
that you were with Mollis Williams at the
appointed time between nine o'clock and
.ten."
It was exactly between these hours that
Slottie, froft her Concealment, bad seen her
Jhnsband enter the dead woman's houso by
the window. Appalled, as the; realized this
iiigiuiui'iruiu, sue luimeti.
The miserable husband was mercifully
taken away before she revived, and th
nearest neighbors being sent for, the cabin
ind its stricken mistress were lefl in their
charge.
So, on the bright and keen Christmas
morning, with the sun shining cm the snow,
the parly wound down the mountain, witlf
Tom Foster, pale and haggard, in their
tnidil) and at every cabin door stood a fjfent
ana awe-struck group to loog upon the mur
derer, so well known to them all.
And as (bat Christmas nighiclosej in, the
wretched man, with mcnacles on his limbs,
lsy a prisoner itr the strong room of the
county jail.
He was stunned, not so much by his ar
rtst and fne dreadful charge againH hm as
b. the revelationn regard to his wife, that,
contrary to hia express prohibition, she had
taken advantage of his absence and visitect
the Christmas Eve dance at Hammer's, and
tad' returned home with tbe man he dread
ed and disliked most on earth tbe outlaw,
Joe Williams.
Malt's haddeceived him, and he, had
caught Ler in tbe falsehood at the moment
after it bad lea her Dps, never, a, he had
thought, polluted by one before.
The munlei1 of Mollie Williams created
we need' scarcely say, a great sensation In
tbe mountains, where, although lawlessness
wis prevalent enough,!! rare! took a graver
form than 'moonsblnlng," fights and tipsy
practical Jokes. The trial In March, when
the court would sit, was, therefore looked
forward to with Impatience.
Meanwhile Tom Foster, lay, without a
friend on eailh, n Ibe county prison. As
day ly day passed the miserable man found
(bat bis wife had deserted him had, in
fad, fled from tbe cabin on Christmas night:,
aud had not been teen or beard of since.
Betrayed thus. by the onjy person on'
whom he had a right to relv- for sympathy
End comfort, he quite broke down, and for
some time would not even see counsel) but
declared his intention of making Ho defence
and of going (0 a disgraceful death without
regret.
However, Urao cilafiged hit mind, es It
usually docs.and after a wbllo it was known
that two eminent lawyers were busy with
his caaeyind tolerably hopeful) ahdsolnduo
bourse cam the first Monday in March and
the Honorable,. Jamca Armstrong to hold
dolliU
'ili'i Iflal is well remembered and still
talked of. An immense crolrd was on tho
villago green in fro lit bf the court-house,
some arriving on horsebockrsomeinyehlclcs
of every imaginable), kind since tbe time
of Noah, and some on foot, after walking
many a weary mile) and the judge having
mounted tbe bench and a iurv belhzlbubd.
amid a wedged and breathless multitude,
the dreadful business began.
Deliberately and awfully the case for tbe
State was developed, Tom Foster, pale and
ill, leaned back In his chair, watching the
proceedings, never moving or sneaking ex
cept when addressed IK n whisper Uy his
counsel.
The first witness called to tho stand was
old Sam Whitehead; who. distinctly and
clearly told his story of carrying the mall up
the mountain on Christmas Ere) of being
stopped at Brandy Forks by the murdered
woman, who gave him a dolldf, arid a iio!e
to be taken to Foster and delivered to blm
personally, with a particular caution that
Mrs. Foster should not bo allowed to see it,
or suspect Its cxljtehbe.
I was curus," proceeded Whitehead.
"She looked so queer and was so deep in
earnest, that my mind was troubled. I
knowed she was not the best woman la the
world ; folks talked about her) and tho end
was, I tore the nolo open end read it. The
note appointed a meeting for that night,aud
said if be failed to come he would be sorry
for it to the latest-hour of his life'"
There was a general moremeut of surprise
at the latter partf this testimony, and even
the judge glauce'd toward tbe defense, ex
pecting them to object to the admission of
the contents of tho note at second-hand.
But on the contrary the note itself was pro
duced by them and handed Over for identi
fication, and fully1 recognized. Tho hour
named for the assignation was between nine
and ten, o'clock, and tbe placo Otter's Cross
Roads; In the neighborhood of which Mrs.'
llliams' body was afterward found.
Clement Bcotl, a darkey, was next called
and testified to having passed Tom Foster In
the defile leading to Pltimmer's store about
eight o'clock or. tho evening of the murder.
Mr. Foster was ridiV at a gallop, tDe
snow was deep and hnrd. I don' aarry no
watch, but I gin'rally kin tell de time. I
tells it by the sun dooTin' the day; I don't
knoiV how I tells it at night.'
fcjev'erol,'witposses showed that Foster was
not present at any time during the night at
the dance which took place at Plutnmer's
stole) - His wife was there for a short period(
but was seen to leave, followed by Joe Wil
liams', who was supposed to have nccorapani-
:u uer.uome.
The prisoner was visibly affected at this
point, and called for a glass of water which ;
hef drank with a feverish gulp,
Tbe weather was sultry, as it someufaes
ism tho South early in March, and the
judgo ordered the windows to be raised, re-
marking upon the mephilic vapors of the
room.
Ths tiext witness was Mrs'. Richard Doylo,
who took tho stand in palpable distress. She
testified that torn Foster had eat up with
be? husband, orl Christmas E70 that h!a
manner vras about es usual, maybe a little
quiet; the could never forget his kiridnc&s
to her husband, and appeared to-day against
her will. Foster was Incapable of the crime
he was charge with, as gentlo a creature as
ciwr breathed; and the poor lady pried dol
orously (.wiping1 her eyes'ou her.calico apron,
'Then iu a grim way canYd the question,
"At what tm, as well as you remember,
did the prisoner arrive at your houso on tho
flight of the murder?"
Mrs. Doyle cried harder than ever, and
would not answer until sharply spoken to
by the judge, and then she BJfd :
"Five minutes to twelve o'clock.',
How could ebd fix' '.ho hour so exactly?
She boo-booed hysterically for a while, and
being pressed, answered thalsho was just In
the act of winding the clock When he rapped
at tbe door,
It was now four o'clock, and here the case
rested for the day. Judge Armstrong made
a few remarks to tbe jury, among other
things said that on the next day they would,
if necessary, have twp sessions,
On tbe second day testimony was brought
In to show the finding of the body about an
-hour before daylight on Christmas morning.
A boy had been the first to see It and give
tho aihtrm ; ho had got up early to look for
hia father s horse that had thrown the ol j
man on the way back from P!uinincr'edanre
The doctor was next called, and In half a
dozen learned sentences described the nature
of tbe wounds. Mrs. Williams had been
dead for an hour, aud be could not be moro
exact tweite bears, for all he could say to
the contrary ; it watt a mere couectiire, and
he deelined to express an opinion positively,
It ifaa a bitterly cold night and tbe Corp)
was frozen bard.
"lie was cross-cxaminerl very' closely' id
sharply, and left the stand ifitlfa' red face
and very much buffed.
And now came the defciisS!
Intense curiosity was manifested as to the
line to be adopted, and when old Farquhar
Randolph, with hit white hair and aritto-
crttlc faregot Op, am! ndvanced with hit
gouty limp to (he table and leaning on bit
chalky knuckles, talc?, in hfifrtAnant tones':
"Your Honor, and Gentlemen' c-Tthe Jury,"
in that vast throng there was not one who
drew breath.
The points were that the murder had
taken place at the Cross Roads between nine
and ten o'clock on Christmas Eve; that
Mrs. Williams had been seen there about
that time, but that Tom Foster had never
kept bit appointment with her. A man
bad, Indeed, been with her, but it was not
her it Wat Job Williams, her husband, on
the verge of ddiVitm trcmMt and wild with
jealousy, and so on. But before the dose of
tbe old lawyer's first period, the crowd saw
the weakness of hit case.
"Why hat not Joe Williamt been caUel
to tb. stand to-day 1" he thundered. "lie
cannot be found, and I am cot surprised."
But all this made no impression, and he
turned to the only qUiVte where lay a par
ticle of hope tbe feelings" 6f the Jufjr and
ended by asking to b alVotfcd to place the
Julsoner hlmsolf upon tho stand, not under
oath, but simply to relate the events of that
memorable night, aud his own share in
them. ,
It was a bold device, for by Iho law there
the criminal may dot testify in his own de
fense. As Mr. Randolph mado the appeal,
the tears welled to , bis eyes, and he was
LnoWn lo bb a matt little used to that kind
of weakness, and (00 proud to feign it.
"Gentlemen; don't hang sii innocent man
without a eiianco. lie is here alone and at
jrbili'incrcy even HI wife hasdeserted him
I proifTise Hint ho will tell yoli ri startling
story. I don't nsltyod io consider it In your
verdict; but let MuLtpdtti lo set himself
right beloro his fellobeings. I have been
forty years at tho bat-; and never before had
a case like this."
A subdued conitiltatlon. followed. Si-
Governor Dudley; tho j&ose'ctf tot,' had o talk
with the judge, who was known to be a just
man but conservative; tbe foreman of the
Jury wat spoken' to. Old Randolph sturdi
ly held to his point, tho forlorn hope, and
at last, to the general relief, Dudley was seen
to throw out his hands, shrug his shoulders
and stroll to Ills' tiliflli.
Mr. Randolph, wltH a glorious amlle.nnd
a profound sigh, as if a mountain had been
lifted from his heart, saidt
"Foster go upon the stand. Wo will not
swear you, but you may relate your story."
It was Indeed a sensational arid dramatic
rial. It was afterward said -that nothing
but Foster's Helpless condition, and hlsdd-
sertion" by his wife, procured him the start
ling privilege how reluctantly accorded.
tale as death, and with tile ntatiacles on
his limbs, the wretched' Man was assisted lo
th,e,stand, and, amid the profound stillness,
he said :
"Gentlemen, the murdered woman was
my true and lawful wife.!'
A coughing and shuffling effect followed,
and tho crier's shout of s
"Order I Order there 1"
"Wo were tharrle'd years ago, when we
were little trtore than boy and girl," Foster
went on. "One Sunday aftornnon we went
twenty miles to a revival at Silver Spring.
Mollie Croxton was u wild girl, and, Some
how, we were both reckless that day, and,
tor devilment, I proposed that wo should get
the preacher to marry Us, and keep it a se

"Well, going homo, the unfortunate girl
and I both began lo realize what wo'had

after a short talk together, we made a mu
tual promise to forever keep our secret.
Time wore"on,and no one found It out,
and I pevor felt any. difference till' I fell In
love with Mattle Vickers; and it was Just
about tho same time' (hat Joo Willlittrrs be
gan to court Mollie Croxton although 1
didn't know It then.
"Gentlemen, I was as deep in. late as a
man can bo, and for, the first tltne'Lrealizcd
tho predicament I vas in. I wanted to
marry Mattie,- tfrid h'sd'her folks' consent,
and yet could not do it without committing
a crime1. 1 know that Mollie Croxton was
a girl that would not hesitato at anything,
and I could not tell how she would act, and
1 was even afraid to tee her and mention
the subject. Still, I was Impatient,' a'nd I
wrote her a letter.
" That wat my ruin. She sent word back
that she wished to have a talk with' rWe,
went at once and sho told m'e that eho was
just as anxious to, marry Joe Wlllia'm'a as I
was to marry Mattie Vickers ; and then and
there we made a fresh agreement to cafry
both our wishes out, and neither to in any
way to interfere wfth the other. But all the
while sho had the letter of mine, which I
never thought or, but it has hung over me
ever since and kept me in her power.
"Oit Christinas Hve I received her note,
making the appoln'tmetltind I was to have
seen her for the last time. 1 believe she was
going to take the stage at Otter's, and so get
to the railroad, and leave this part of the
world forever. Her husband had treated
her cruelly, gentlemen; and you all know
that he was a bad man.
"'Well, that night as I passed her house
at Brandy Fork; between nine and ten, -I
saw Micro was no light in the window, ft
Hashed across m'e that here was a chance I
might tieiet hivo again to get possession of
the letter, which had cost me so much peace
of mind, Sho always kepi ft hid In her
room. -So I entered by the window, and
made a search where I tb'cnVfit it was like
ly to be, and at last found it and burned it
with a match that very minute.
" I was free now, and, with a light heart
leaped from the Window, and git on my
horse, and sot off for Dick Doyle's, I had
promised his wife in the morning to tit up
with hi in, but had forgotten about It till It
became nceccmry to make some excuse for
my going or.t thnt night, after 8am White
head brought mo tho note from. Mrs. Wil

night, just as sho was w'in'Jing the rlnckind

had neither seen nor spoken, with tbo un
fortuuato creature of whose death I am ac
cused." He bowed hunrldy to court and jury, and
turned, and was about' to' hobble doWu from
the stand,
At that instant there rang through the
room the piercing cry of " Tom 1" It thrill
ed every one, and people looked at each
other with awe-stricken faces.
Suddenly a great movement and confu
sion followed, ' The judge was seen to rise
and rap sternly on his desk, looking an
xiously across tbo bobbing head's, and sharp
and angry rose ths crier's shout of "Silence."
Jurymen and lawyers stood on their feet,
hustling and excited re morrstancea folio wed,.'
and In a moment more lhat cloeely'-packed
throng managed somehotf lo divldb'and al
low a woman to puts between them, who,'
entering the railing, went with a swift rush
tb Tom' Foeter, and1 threw herself oh bis"
breast.
She had lifted her coarse green vail, an'd
they saw it was Mattie.
Order was restored. An excited conver
sation went on wjlhjn the bar ; but, though
ths people outside craned their seeks aud
listened, nothing could be made out, arid at'
length" In a louder tone Mr. Randolph call
ed hit first witness".
This was a man' named Dalh, who lived
at the Cross Roads".
He swore positively that ho had seen Mrs.
Williams about nine o'clock: on Christmas'
Eve crossfn'g the field near bis cabinccom
panted by a InBn, whom he recognized la
the moonlight as ber reputed hnsbsnd, Joe.
Dudley cross-examined Ititn closely I but
h'is sUlemrlt wria lltUllalcnn. and Im tr.l .1.
lowed to go gown.
Then Mattie took his place,thn and pale,
but confident: and, with a "voice trembling
a little, sho told her story, alreidy familiar'
with the reader.
- Desciiblng, among the rest, tbo visit of
the magistrate next rdqrrilrl-t the accusation
and the nfrest, s'tie said j
" Mr. Ewell't words nera these, never t

I have been In court yesterday and to-day.
This morning I saw fir tho first time that
my evidence, which I had supposed would
be the destruction of my husband, might bo
his safety; and when ho had told hit story
I could restrain myself no longer.
This closed the case.
It was now dark,- and candles had been
brought In.
Governor Dulsy made a short speech, fol
lowed by old Mr. Randolph with one not
much longer) arid then.by candle littht.tho
Judge read h'is notes and charged.
TUc charge, it was- felt, was dead against
the prisoner, although strictly upon evi
dence. Tom's story was, of course, thrown

And so the case went to the juonot IbeV

A great silence followed, no one leaving
the room.hot as It was; but, with pale faces
and hearts thrilled with the suspense, ths
penplo watched the man whose fate now

with his counsel) Dudley read a newspaper.
and Judge Armstrong ate some lunch.whlch,

and thus about twenty minutes passed.
Then there was a sudden shuffling and
murmur, tho door of the jury-room Opened,
and .the gcntlemencanie stumbling in,
Astern cry of " Silence f followed, an
awful stillness,, and the announcement be
ing made that a verdict had been found, ther

" Not guilty I"
A great shout rang out; tho worrfSh In"
the room laughed and cried together ; the
mountaineers threw up their wool hats and
coon-skin caps ; and above all the din waa

who stood In a corner, rocking himself to
