Most of tbi laymen present Hgreed with tbe tllstiu g'linhed lawyer whose very prsitlve ex prension of opinion baa neon quoted. wbilu tbe majority of tbe lawyer con tended, with that tairuestueiu fur which lawyers are noted when advocating their own side of any question, that Justice could uever miscarry when carelul judges guard against the possibility of unsafe verdicts by refusing to permit a oouvic- tion except wheu every link in tbe obain of circumstantial evidence has beeu es. tablUbed beyond doubt and tbe whole chain been made so pcrftct and complete as to leave no room for any consistent hypothesis of innoceuoe, "Tbe first murder case I ever tried said one of tbeni, "was atrnuger than notion, an you will admit, and it is quit. as remarkable as any of tbe cues yon have referred to wbere inuooent men bavu beun wrongfully convicted upon circnm atautlal evidence It ought to bnve be reported as au example of the truatworth iness of the directaud positive testimony of oye-witneBses who tell what they be. litve to be- the truth." He then related the main points what was oertaiuly a most remarkable and dramatic trial, and which constitutes fair offset to some of the memorable oases to hi found in every work oncircumstan tial ovidenoe. Tbe narrative produced so etriiDg an imprexaiun npon my own mind tbntubtqn?utly,wlth bis consent, I put it into the following shape, having first carefully compared it with his not of testimony taken upon the trial of the cane. It can be relted upon as absolute ly correct, with the exception that I have used fictitious names, for reasons which will readily be app-eciated when it Known that inot of the actors in drama are still living.

On account of the char acter of the men and the trouble they had already brought upon quiet, law. abiding citizens, the sentiment of the wholo oommunlty was strongly ngalnBt tbem. a Iu order to clearly understand the force of the testimony nlveuupoh the trial and the subsequent result, it ia important to bear in mind tho physical pebullaritles, dresl and general appearance of each of tbe three prisoner.. Short wan a small man of not more tbon five feet stx inches lu height, slend. weighifE scarcely 130 pounds, with bright, fierj-red bairand side whiskers, and. at tho lime of tho murder, wore a white felt hat aud an old light blue urrny overcoat Ryan was fully six feet la height, of robust framn, with black hair find mus tAcho, drcKH. d in dark clothes and wore dark Derby hat. Grey su a heavy, broad-shouldered an, of medium height, weghing fully 300 pounds, .with n full black beard reaching nearly to his waist. Hut us tho evidence subsequently show. d that he had not fired the first shot it unnecessary to describe his appear ance more minutely. . Certainly it is difficult to imagine two men more unlike than Short and Ryan, or less liable to bo mistaken for each other even by slrongera much less than by their acquaintances. There is no possibility here fcr a caao of mistaken identity. Short and Ityan were tried together with their cousent--Grcy having asked for and obtained A separate trial and each was defended by s-paritr counsel. After the preliminary proof relating to the post-mortem examination, the cause of death aud the identification of tbo deceased as the person named in tho in dictment, the Commonwealth called as its first witness, a woman, Mary Brown. She bnre a bad reputation, bnt nobody questioned her integrity or purpose to tell, reluctantly, it is true, the whole truth. The prisoners were all her friends, and were constant visitors to the drink. ingsnloon of which she was the propriet ress. She was a woman of powerful physique, almost masculine frame, great force of character, and more than ordi nary intelligence. From her testimony it appeared that a colored woman with whom she' bad some dispute, had hit her ou the head with a stone and ran, and the three pris oners coming up at the moment started with her up the street in pursuit of tbo fugative. Although the night was dark there was snow on the gronnd, and n gas lamp near by gave sufficient light to enable one to recognize a person with ease some feet away. After running about one hundred yards the pursuers came to tho corner f an alley and stopped under the gas lamp, being challenged by the d ceased, who was in uniform, in company with one of his f quad. She swore tLtit when the Corporal cried ' halt," Sbor whom she had known intimately for years, replied, "Go to ," and while standing at her aide, so that their elbows were touching, both being Immediately under tbe gas light, he pulled out a pis. tol, pointed it at the deoeased, who was four or live feet from him, and fired, and then rati down the alley, the deceased pursuing him. She beard four or five mora shots fired, anl the deceaaed re. turned wounded, and Short disappeared, While tbe shots were beirg fired, ahe raw both Byan and Gray standing at a corner some feet away from her, and after they had separated and the went home. It was also proved that this alley was bounded on either side by high fences, difficult to climb, and led dow to a stream of water fifty feet wide, nn three or font fet deep. No traoe of footsteps were found iu tbe snow except those of one man leading down into the stream, and it was evident that the per son who had fled bad not climbed either fence, but had waded through tbe stream and disappeared on tbe other aide The next witness was tbe soldier wb stood close by tbe deceased when the first shot was fired, aud who, nbt know, iug either of the prisoners, deacribed tbe person who bad fired and ran down tha alley as the man with, the red hair and side whiskers, dressed iu a light blue army overcoat and white felt hat, and upou being directed tn look at tho three prisoners, immediately identified Short as the man wLom ho had seen do the ebooting. The testimony of these , witnesses wag in no wise slaken upon cross-examioa tion. Then the sworn ante-mortem slate. ment of tbs deceased, taken by a Magi, trate, was read to the jury. lie said that he had known Short per.oually .or some time, but had never bad any difficulty with him. He lully identified him as the man who had fired Ihe first ahot, and then ran down tbe alley, firing oue abot after another nntil he fired the last and fatal ahot almott in tbe faOi of the d ceased. He also fully described the clothing worn by Short as it had been escribed by the witness! Thcao were all the witnesses to tbe oo curreoce.except tbe prisoners themselves, aud, of course, they mast not be heard The case against Short seemed to be as conclusively made oat as though a score of witnesses had sworn they had seen him do the shooting. Neither the jodge, tbe jury, nor the spectators" entertained tbe .lightest doubt of his guilt, and when the Commonwealth, at this point, closed its oaae, it teemed as though tbe fatal the oonnsel for the defense ono of them rose and moved tbe Court dlrr-ot the Jury to forthwith Tetufn a verdict of "not guilty" as to Byan.ln order (bat he might be called as a witness for the other pris oner. This was resisted by the .District Attorney, and, after lengthy anil elabor ate arguments, the Court decided that it was bound to grant tbe motion, and ac cordingly Byan was declared "not gall ty" and the verdiot recorded. Then came a scene as dramntlo to those p-esent ns anything over witnessed on tbe stage, Without any opening specoh by Short's counsel Ryan, in obedience to a nod from his attorney, stepped out of the prisoner's dock and into tha witness box, looked around, the Court room, took up the Bible, and was sworn to tell "tbo truth, tbo whole tr-itb. and nothing but the truth." Every head was bent for ward, every ear was on the alert, every eye fixed .on tho witnoss something startlincr was expected. Would he at tempt tb show that Short had done the shooting in self-defense ? That eectned the only thing possible. Bnt how could he. bo believed in the face bf the positive testimony of three witnessrs.'two of thoni living and iti the Court room.oito cf them dead murdered ? Byan stood for a moment looking down and then slowly lifting his eyes to the bench, in a silence in which tho 'fall ing of a feather might have been heard, he said: "May I ask tho Court a question t" Tho venerable Judge, e-vidcntly sur prised at being interrogated, looked at him and said, "Certainly, sir." "I understand tout I am acquitted," said Byan, pain leg for n moment and then continuing; "I want to know rem the Court whether nuj thing I may say now can be ever used against mo in tiny Way?" What did he mean? What need of that question ? Every one looked at his neighbor inquiringly. The flashed face of the Judge showed that he.at least.underatood what it meant an attempt to swear his guilty com panion out of the hangman's grasp. Tiien in a tone of unmistakable indignation camo tho answer: I em fcdVry to Fay, 'sir, that nothing you may say now can be used against you that'is', on trial for murder. Yon have been acquitted." Byan'j fac'a crew pale and red and he said slowly and distinctly: "It was I who, fired all tho shots not Short," McBt of tbe faces in the Court room wore looks of indignation at the harden. eid wiokednees of tbe man who had just been declared innoacLt, and who, by bis owu statement was guilty of murder, if he wai not guilty of perjury. But. quietly and calmly, without n tre mor, as coolly as though ho was describe (ng rodSo trivial occurrence which he bad cannally witnessed, Byan went on step by step, detailing all tbnt had ocoarred, and when he had finished his story there was pMbnbly not a person present who was not fully convinced not only that Byan had told the simple truth, but also that he had himself fired the fatal shot iu Rclf-defense. or at IcaBt under such circumstances of ehtnrjcr that would have led any jury to acquit him. He detailed how ho had fired from a singlo barreled pUtol in the nlr without any pnsposo except to glve'his ohalleng er a scare, and then ran down the alley; upon being closelv pursued by the eU censed withenlre drawn and ready to strike, lie was compelled to pull out ft revolver ar.d fire several shots toward hia pursuer, who was rapidly gaining on Mm, to keep him baok, and that wlien ha had but one shot left, he stumbled over a lar,e Stone, and fell on bis knees, and at this, moment the deceased (.truck at him with the aabre, ontting him slight ly in tbe cheek, and being thus pressed, hu aimed and fired the last shot, which subsequently proved fatal. He further told hew, npon recovering his feet, he ran, waded through the stream, and, find ing that bo bad lost his hat when be fell, ratraoed his nteps, reoroased the stream, found bis hat, ana then went to a hotel, wbere he was seen by several witnesses to drr his clothing. His manner, his beariDg.and his clothing Itself convinced his hearers that he was telling tbe trnth, But S' that nothing might be wanting if any doubt remained iu the minds of the Judge or Jury, witness of undoubted veracity were called, who corroborated him as to .the condition of bis clothing and the cut ou his oheek within fifteen minutes alter the occurrence. Besides, it was shown that, although the man who had fired had waded through tbe stream, Short's clothing was perfectly dry, It is unnecessary to say that Short was promptly acqulltd and warmly congrat ul ited ou oue of tbe narrowest rsoapes ever made by any man fu the Court room. Nothing oould havo saved bim had tbe Court refused to direct the ac quittal of Byan and allow him to testily, Tbe deceased 0rp r.l. the soldier, and M iry Brown were mistaken. That vata all there was abont It, So much for tbo occasional uust-fenoss of the direct tealimouy of honest eye. witneeasos.
