A SCENE IN A JURY BOOH.
A Thrilling Story.
I once had the eslreme felicity of leaving
...... i . r .. t
inv huamaa to serve tinon -me .iiiru. - i
plead in all manner of ways for release, but
to no vflVct.
I could not pwenr that I was (leaf, nor
hlinil, nor yet nm cm;n; tut did tell lliem
thut 1 lntd olrcudy riirmvd an opinion. They
asked mo if my opinion would prevent me
from receiving tlm testimony in good faith,
null reiuliTinff a verdict uccording to it. 1
replied that of courpe I should weigh tlm
evidence carefully, and bo governed by it. 1
was l bun informed that I '-would do."
The cuko. to t9 tried wcj ouo of arson
then a capitul oETeiice and the prisoner at
thu bur v. ns a y'itii? tnun, named Cburles
Ambuld, whom I had known from boyhood,
and who. r;na naturally onn or the Gnnst
youthg of I bo town where he resided. lie
hud a widowed mother who depeniluil upon
bini for support; and bis cirelo of friends was
large und choice. 1 was morally certain that
he did not commit the crime ; and hence, I
am sur?, those who r.ero friendly to him got
me on the puuel, nad bud mo letuined.
The trial commenced, and we twelve men
tooU our seats in the jury-box. I bad a very
retpectuble set with nie only there was ono
inuii whom 1 didn't like to see there. This
wus Moulton Warren. He was a dark-faced,
sinister-looking fellow ut least to me. I
knew that vounc Ambuld had one fault. He
hud recently been addicted to drink, ond bud
been known to vitit disreputable houses. It
wus one of those houses that bad been burned,
lur setting fire to which bu bud been appre
hended. Now, I bad often tried to persuade Charles
Ambold from the course he was pursuing.
He bud repeatedly promised me that be would
reform, and us repeutedly had be broken
awuy. 1 hud often talked to hiiu of hi3 poor
mother, uutil be bad wept like a child ; but
the effect was uot lusting. There was a power
of leuiptaliuti more ellective than any influ
ence 1 could wield. He wo'.ld full away into
this evil computiiousbip, and fur a while bis
manhood was gone. One or two abaudoncd
women bad gained great power over him,
and upou tbera bo wasted much of Lis sub
stance. And 1 knew that this very mon who was
now upon the Jury this Moulton Warren
was the one who bad done more tliun all
others to lead the poor youth away. ' It was
Wurren who bud drunk with him, ftnd who
had led him awuy to those abominable haunts
of 6in and pollution. Why was he npou the
jury? 1 could only account for it upou the
ground that Charley still supposed hi in to be
bis friend. The poor scorched insect was
still ignorunt of the tlume thut burued bitn.
He really believed that Moultuu Warren was
his li'iend.
The triul commenced. Tho indictment set
forth thut Charles Ambold bad, "with malice
urorcthnut'ht," uud with ull Sorts of wicked
utid felonious intuit, set fire to a certain
dwclliuc-house, thereby eudungering bumuu
life. 'I bis dwelling, us 1 huve already iuliuia
ted, wus a low sink or iniquity, where tbe
ubuudoned of both sexes were wont to con
gregate, and where the youthful prisoner bad
spent much of bis time.
Tho evidence for tho prosecution camo on,
11 nd I was sturtled. One alter another gave
iu their testimony, some uf tbein very reluc
tunlly, und 1 wus frightened when 1 saw bow
pluiuly it all pointed to the prisoner as the
guilty party Several credible witnesses
swore thut they bud beard him threaten to
burn the bouse doun, aud others bad beurd
hi in suy repeutedly thut lie irMed it wus
burned down! Then cume several witnesses
thiee of the iirominent citizens who suw
him lurking ubout tbe premises on the night
of thu lire.
Wilb resard to the provocation on the
nrisouer's iiurt for such a deed, it was proved
upou bis own admission thut b bad been ill
treated there, and he had sworu to uave
revenge. Aud furthermore, it was proved
that he bud been heard to suy that bis salva
tion uf soul and body depended upon the.
destruction of thut bouse. Next came more
testimony stronger still.
1 lie Die bud been set in a back basement
room w here shavings und other St ull Tor
kindling were kept. Lntruiiee bad been
gained through a back window, which had
been partly pried open witu a stout kniio.
This bueemeiil wall was of brick, and beneath
the sush wus found thu blude of a kuife which
had been broken off iu iryiug to raise it. (tbe
sash.) It wus recoguized as belonging to tbe
lulsouers knile. A maker ol cutlery liaJ
made a knilo to order for Ambold only a
mouth previous, aud be knew tbe blade At
once, and swore to it.
But this wus uot all. Tbe fire bad been
evidently set fiist to the shavings which lay
upon the stone tloor, but piled up against a
woodeu partition. This floor was dump, and
some of the o'lter shavings even were not
burued up. liut kit at tbe edge, where tbe
fir rnmmauced. lav a uicce of paper, rolled
up aud about buff burned, and from the
msuner iu which it Uy, it was very int
il.ut Ilia firu bad been set with it. This
piece of rolled paper bad beeu ignited by a
match a number of which weio scattered
o,...,iuluiiil aa toon as it was on fire it bud
been laid upou the floor with tbe buruing
eud just iu the shavings. Of course, these
shavings were io a blaze instantly but tbe
paper torch being upon the Uaaip "tones,
rs: .' ' tt . .
And this paper was found to be a part of a
letter belonging to tbe prisoner I A letter
which he bad received from a friend of bis
(and a friend of nine) only week before 1
That friend bud to come forward and swear
that that piece of charred paper was a part
of a letter be bad written to tbe prisolirr !
This friend's name was Stephen Grant. Ho
was a young merchant, and the luttcr hud
ureo written fur tbe purpose of inducing
Ambold to reform. Stephen tried bard to
avoid testifying, for be know, as did others,
that the fire must have been set with tiint
identical paper; he was suuiuionad.-und bo
could not deny bis owu vhiropritphy..
Tbe ease looked durk. Many witnesses
were williog to testify to tho prisoner's good
qualities i but no ono could swear that he
was not dissipated and degraded. That houf e
had beeu to bim indeed, a region infernal,
lis destruction cried out for bis bodily life;
and its existence had long been eating away
bis soul. I'oorCbdiley! I bad before been
sure of bis innocence ; but now I could only
shake my bead and pity him.
Finally bo was allowed to speak for himself.
He said be was innocent of tho crime imputed
to bin.. He said that he bad IbreatcLed to
burn thai house down that be bad said
about ull that had been sworn to. And,
furthermore, he was arouud the bouso on the
nil; lit of the Cre. He was not ten rods off
tbe house when tbe flames burst forth, and
be was oue of the first to givo tbe alarm.
He bad uttered one cry of Cre when ha
noticed where the Humes must have origina
ted, and tbe thought camo to hitn if be were
found there, be might be suspected of buving
set the lire, so be ran away. Ho also said
that three nights before the couflugrntiun, lie
bud been robbed in that house. His pockets
bad beeu robbed of everything in them, and
bis pocket book, coiituiuiug forty dollars in
moucy, and some valuable papers had been
taken. He bad gone there on the night of
the tire to try and persuade them to give
him back bis money uud papers or ut leant
to got wuut lio could. W lieu ho got there
be saw a man go iu whom bo did not wish to
see, so he bud hung around waiting for hitn to
opart, lie wus around by the back of tho
building once and that wus an hour before
the lire broke out. He knew nothing
nothing. He clasped bis hands, uud v.itb his
tearless eyes raised toward heaven, be culled
ou God to witness thut he wus innocent 1
1 havo told you that 1 knew him well. I
kuow him so well, that from that moment 1
knew him to be innocout ! 1 knew bis very
soul 1 knew bow free ucd opeu it wus uh,
bow sinfully so I 1 knew there wus uo false
hood in the story be had tuld us.
'My boy is innocent! My boy is innocent !''
1 beard thu cry und 1 saw c.D old woman
sink b4i'k into tbe urmsofu wale couipauimi.
It was his poor old mother 1 Her heart v.us
well nigli brokeu ! Yet 1 saw thut ull this
bud but little etTect upou the muss of specta
tors. The prisoner's course of dissipation ;
bis many threats against the house aud the
very fact of his having been rubbed und
abused there, were heavy against him.
The counsel for the prisoner inndo his
speech which wus luborod and bard. Ho
wus loolisu cuoul'U to luUuiato tbut it bis
clieut uot arouud at the buck part of the
bouse more tuuu once
bu must have been I
iutuxicated. In (short bis idea bad belter
beet) left out. Thu evicduco be could not
thuko, uud be did ull bo could to suppose
evidence, some of it most absurd uud ridicu
lous. 1 allerwards leurued thut Muultun
Warren eugugud thut lawyer for the youthful
prisoner ! The government attorney inudo
bis plea. It was plain, straightforwuid and
very conclusive.
the judge bnaliy gave his charge, ile
was fuir aud candid. He reviewed tho evi
dence carefully, and pointed out tuch us bote
heavily upon tbo cuse. He told us that if
there was a linguring doubt in our minds wo
must give tbe prisouer the beuebl of it Hut
i couiu puiuiy see lucre was no tionoi in uis
imnu.
We tbe jury wcro conducted to our
room oy au onicer, auu tuere loiKeu op. jx
silence of some minutes ensued. Sloulloii
. . . . 1 I . 1. 1 k I
W urreu was the first to speak :
"Well, be said, "I s'pose there's no tieed of
our bciu here u greul wnile. Ul course o
all know thut the prisoner must havo set lire
to the house !
There was something iu the manner of tbat
mau as bu said this thut excited my curiosity
I won't suy it wus suspicion then only
curiosity. He spoke with a forced elloi: nt
:iuu then only
culmuess which 1 ul once perceived. The
more I looked nt him thu more 1 became
slruugcly nervous und uneusy, woiidcrtu why
lie should be so anxious to be rid ol luu case.
and huve Ambold couvicted. 1 know that
be bad frequented that evil bouse, and that
be hud done much toward tempting Liiurby
to dissipation. 1 knew ho wus in tbut bouse
on the l.igbt on which the prisouer was
robbed for Charley tuld mo so when 1 visi
ted bim in bis cell. 1 bud then asked the
unfortunate youth if be wus sure Watroti was
bis friend. U, be was sure of it. llesliould
huve bunted him up ou the night of bis rub
bery, ouly tuey bad told bun W urreu was
gone.
Hy und by, the foreman proposed that we
should each take up a piece of paper and
write down our opinion, und then compare
notes. 1 went to my bat, which 1 uud placed
upou a table with a number of others, und
look out a sheet of a per. 1 had got half
way buck to the table when I found that 1
hud made a mistake. 1 bud gut purl of u
letter from another man's but. 1 wus ubout
to luru buck when tbe name of the writer
of thu letter arrested hit attention. 1 looked
more closely and read "totepbeli Giant.
Next I caught this sentence
"And now, dear Cburles, if not for your
own yet for your mother's sake, let uie hopu
you will do better."
I started as though a shot bad struck me.
I held in my band the other half of the sln-i-t
which bud been used to fire tbe burned
house ! I went to the tuble uud found thut 1
had tukeu it from Moulton Warreu's but ! 1
luoked to sou if 1 bud beeu observed and I
hud not. 1 put the paper bark, and then
took oue from my own but, which was of tbe
same pattern as tbe other, und placed by its
side. - ' -
I returned to tbe table and sat down.
Warren was by my side. 11 bad written his
opinior, aud took a k it i to from bi poeket to
cut it from the large sheet. .
"lt me take your kutfe a moment, if you
please," 1 said to bim, ,
Without hesitation be did so. I took it
il tra L'harle$ Amhold't lrii f7i largtel
blade vat yont I Wilb all the power I pos
sessed 1 restrained my deep emotions, and
having cut my paper 1 banded back tbe
knife. '
Wby should he have ths knife so boldly
about bim. 1 afterwards learned, be had not
worn those pantaloons before siuca the uigbt
of tbe ore ; and now be used tbe knife, pro
bablv. without tbe least remembrance of tbe
loss it bad sustained, during a very peculiar
piece of work, to tbo execution of which it
vw made suDsomeoi,
We talked some ten minute, and I found
thru eleven of the jury wus bent on reiiderinj
a vcruici ol guilty r though most rf them
were in fuvor of recommending the prisoner
io mercy, iuounon urren wus decided. Ue
hud no me.rcyal all.
Presently I darted up ond pretended to b
faint. 1 said 1 must so out a few minutes
1 kicked at the door und the deputy sheriff
came, ue npuru my pica and lei me -out.
As coon us we bad gained a safe .distance I
told bim all. He was astonished. He went
awoy and w hen he came back, be brought the
district judge und tbe sheriff. 1 tuld again
what 1 hud ecen thut it was no mere suspi
cion. And 1 explained, too, Warreu'a man
ner iu (he jury room, bis former connection
nil!) tbe prisoner, uud his known character.
1 lt ofliceis went away, uud ul the end of
ten minutes, they returned with a constable
added to their number, and this constable had
it freshly wiitlteu instrument tu his bond.
The shetifl' budu tne point out the but to
them as soon as we entered tbe room.
: The door of tho room wus opened, nnd I
pointed them to the but. Tho sbeiiir took
n, und usked whoso but it was. Wurron
leaped to his feet and seized it, but was held
buck.
Word was instantly seut to the judgo thut
tbe jury could uot ngtee. They were dis
charged, and then Moulton was searched.
Tbe knife wus found upon him, and his beha
vior til once exposed his guilt. 'J' lie presence
of thai letter was accounted for by hitn iu a
dozen different wtiys within uti hour.
A new jury was iiupannolleil, und Charles
Ambuld ucjuitted. Shortly afterwards Wur
ren wus tiieilj uud it was plainly proven that
bo bad set lire to the hous, und that the wo
man who kept it was to have burned tip in it,
us he bad contrived to link her into bei room
bhoilly utter setting the lire. hu hud incur
red iu bis displeasure in various wu)s, und
this was his revenge. Not only tho, but two
of her girls hud suspected him from the first,
but they dare not complain, for feur be would
then be sure to murder them.
The bardeiiud viiiiatt confessed bis guilt af
ter ho hud been cotideuiued, uud then it was
thut he told bo.v he Lappelied to bo so care
less in regard to the knife, ll wus 1.0 who
had robbed Ambold, uud when he took the
old letter Irciii bis hut to use for a toich iu
selling the lire, ho did not notice what il was
and even w hen thut partly burned bull' hud
ouur. exiiitnUd in court, bu bud culireiy lor- i

uud put il buck iu bis hut, us he muft have

cause iu il the youth wus warned uuhist bis
liiUttetice. lie coul'ossed that he bad hold u
slight idea of culling the writer to un account
wlieu it should become couveiiU nt. With
reguiii to thu knife, il was us 1 be Tut; stuted.
Ilo tuok thut from A in hold's pocket, nnd put
it in his own ; uud ou thu night of thu lire bo
ucud it to pry up the sash, uud when be bud
broken it put il back in bis pocket and for
got it.
. Thus was Churley s ived mid suved from
more than uu iguoiiiiueous death, too. lio
wus saved to bo u noble, virtuous mun, uud
his mother once more took ample delight and
l oy in lue love and teuuer care ol l.er otny
child.
When Chui ioj Amboid knew that Moultou
Wurren bud expiated bis crime upon tho gal
lows, he sat down und pondered upon hid
past life. 'I he thought of his old enmpuuiou
betiig bunged, tent u strange thrill through
his Iraino. Hut ho was able to trace out,
clearly nnd IngiL'ully, this terrible result from
the course of lilo und ill luted mun bad liur-t-ued.
Ho shuddered us be remembered Low
far be had gone in the same course himself:
und bo wu3 able to sou tho only safe path fur
any youth
Not only must be 6bun temptation Dot
only keep cleur of even the appearance of
vice, but, ubovo oil, inui. bo shun evil com-
. paiiioiisliip. A youth may tnuke ull the good
resolutions tbnuubt can ulloid, but if he ccn-

obtuined at any of the gus works Tor g I. fill a

introduce a set of t.es or limbers, aud boil
them for a short period, raising llietn up and
down by some simple contrivuuce, four or by

take t hem out and let tbein dry for a Tew days.
It will require but a short lime to prepare

Rachel's oldest son, n boy about VI. whngfl

see the Minister of Foreign Affairs on this
Mhject, nnd inquire from hint if he did not
thiok it litling Unit the boy should be present
ut the funeral which takes place to-morrow ;
but Count Walewski stud he did not deem it
by any Means necessary, and that it wonld
only c a mo the child a Sad end disagreeable
impression. Must people imagine 1 lint the
real facts is, thut the Minister lor Foreign
Affairs doea not choose that the crowd ut
Hathel's funeral should say, " There, thut
young1 lad. who is chief mourner, and Kndu-I's
son, is the son iiImi of M. Wulewski, tho
liist minister of tho empire." Hesides this,
many would have added. "Tell or twelve
years back, that bny's father persecuted 11a
chel, the actress, to become bis wife; and
what was then termed her good sense, and
the friends who surrounded und besonglit
not to think ofsuc!) a thing, alone prevented
the inurriiigf." All this might n it.be parti
