The counsel for the defence now betook themselves, with the energy of drowning men grasping at Straws, to the Legislature of the state.

Lyun, near Union Bridge, Carroll county, is perhaps the most remarkable in the annals of Maryland jurisprudence, both for the slender thread of circumstantial evidence which led to his conviction and the pertinacity displayed by his counsei m their efforts to secure bis ac- | quitta, Lynn carried on the business of @ miller at Englar’s mill, in Carroll county, and Davis was bis assistant and general business manager. On the 8th of April, 1872, Lynn Jelt bis house about two P, M, for the mill, which ‘was but 4 short distance of, and was never seen again alive. Davis soon followed, und was observed moving abont the premises for a space variously stated at from forty minutes to an hour and a half. | During a portion o/ this time Le was seen in con- Versation with Hamilton Shue, a shoemaker, | whose shop was near Lynn’s house. About half- past three P. M. Davis rode away to Union Bridge, @ small village in the neighborhood, and did Rot return until six o’clock. Mrs, Lynn, the wife of the miller, then inquired for her husband, but was told by Davis that he lad probably taken a | walk and would soon return. LYNN’S CORPSE FOUND. Becoming uneasy at his continued absence she collected some of the neighbors and instituted a search, which resulted in the discovery of his man- gied remains on the surface of the wheat in the wink of the mill, The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the country people were terribly shocked at what was perhaps the greatest tragedy that had occurred within their recollections, At first it was supposed that Lynn had fallen into the sink accidentally and killed himsel/, and this impression was sensibly strength, ened by the discovery of a pocketbook in the othes of the dead man containing $105, together ‘with his watch. A physician soon arrived on the Spot, however, and told another story. He found * six distinct wounds on the head of the de- eeased, one of which proved to be a com- pound fracture of the skull and was the cause of death. The latter wound he saia could Rot have been produced by accident, and Lynn Must have been murdered and subsequently ‘thrown into the sink. A coroner’s jury was em- panelled, and upon a careful investigation of the circumstances Davis was arrested upon the charge of murder and Shue was taken into custody as ac- cessory. Davis, however, for severai days prior to the inquest was permitted to goat large, and conducted himsel! with a sang/roid and indifference Which betokened anything but guilt. ofthe murder, after his return from Union Briage, he dressed himself and drove his sweetaeart to Wisit a friend, and expressed great surprise when © summoned home and told ofthe violent death of Lynn. He attended the funeral on the following day, abd jokingly told several parties that HE HAD KILLED LYNN with anadze. He also threw outhints that more than one person had a hand in the tragedy. At the ensuing summer term of the Circuit Court for Carroll county Davis was put upon his triai for | ‘the wilful murder of Abraham L, Lynn. Davis was @ young man, about twenty-two years of age, un- msually prepossessing in appearance, with a lithe ‘and active figure, neatly dressed, with wavy black Dair, an incipient mustache and piercing eyes, that seemed to dance and twinkle in his head. He was @Manced to a charming young lady in tne neigh- Dorhood of Union Bridge, wno had constantly visited him while in prison, and now, with womanly heroism, clung to him in bis hour @f trial. There wasa rakish, devil-may-care air about him, which, though attributed to bravado in one of maturer years, had a certain fascination for Women when exhibited by the prisoner, who did not Jook to be more than eighteen years old. He was very ably defended by James A. C. Bond, of the Carrol! county Bar, and William P. Maisby, an ex- judge of the Court of Appeals, and the prosecut- ing attorney was assisted by John E. Smith and a. K. Syester, the attorney General. The jury was Composed of the most prominent men of Car- roll county. It was proved that Lynn, when he ieft his house on the day of his death, had on his persgu £ Jeast 8900 ia money and that Davis knew it; that the deceased was lever seen aiter two P. M.; that when his body “was found the wheat in the sink had settled some Jeet, which was indicated by the marks of blood on the sides of the sink; that a number of barreis had been placed about the sink which were not ‘there in the morning and which were no doubt in- tended to obstruct the view of any one accidentally Straying into the mill. The contradictory state- Tents of Davis were introduced and the clothes ‘Which he wore on the evening of the murder, por- tions of which were proved to have been washed ‘that night, were shown to the jury. IE CROWBAR, ‘also, with which he was supposed to have Inflicted the wounds, was exhibited. The case Was very e@bly argued vy counsel, and the jury, after being Out for several days, failed to agree upon a verdicy ana were discharged. They stood seven for @cquittal and five ior conviction. The case was subsequently removed on affidavit to Washington ‘county, in ab adjoining circuit, and was brought to at the September term, in addition to the Yestimony given at the former triai a witness testi- fled, in the course of the second trial, that Davis told him that Lynn was killed with an adze, ‘and if they would loox in the race they would Bnd it, and that an examination of the race ac- tually did result in the discovery of the adze. It ‘was also proved that several bank notes which Davis had with him in jai! had on them what ap- Peared to be smal) spots of biood. The detence Offered as a witness J. Hamiiton Stine, charged as “an accessory, and the Court ruling the testimony inadmissible, they noted an exception. The jury after being out a short time rendered a verdict of . gully of murder in the first degree. A bill 0: ceptions was uow signed, and the case was taken to the Court of Appeals. it was argued at Jength betore that body and tue appeal dismissed. Soneeaeety gome of the Judges desiring a rear- ent of the case, it Was again taken up, with he same decision, however. Judge Maley, noth dng daunted by his reverses, APPEALED TO THE EXECUTIVE “ofthe State to intervene aod prevent the execu- tion of the sentence, and in accordance with 114 desire Governor Whyte fixed a day to hear tie t timony of Shue, who, im the meantime had been acquitted of the charge. Shue Rot being forthcoming on the day appointed the Governor postponed the hearing of the cause And at last the recusant Witness was vrought be- Jore bim at his office in Baltimore city. After a Patient hearing aud very searching examination ‘Of the witness Governor Whyte decided to let the Jaw take its course. A! now thought that the case Was at an end and that Davis’ last hope ou earth Was gone, but Judge Malsby hi not yet played his last card. By some means a clerical error waa «discovered in the proceed ings before the Washington County Court, and the case was again brought before the Court 01 Appeals on a writ of error. Meanwhile Judge Malsby petitioned the Legisiature, in session at Annapolis, for a stay of execution, and the whole | subject was referred to a joint committee of both houses, By this time public opinion had become | Teatly divided upon the question of the guilt or Innocence of the accused, and some sympathy had deen aroused, both because of ihe delay in the exe- | cution of the sentence and developments which Went to show that Lynn, the murdered man, was ‘Mo better than he should have been; in iact, that for y' prior to his death he hada been secretly engaged in the nefarious business of counterieii- ihe currency of the United states. youth, good looks, manly bearing and the Deasutiful devotion of nis ‘nanove, ail a F caled to more tender hearted a the portion of the com- munity, and the exceedingly sight chain of evi- dence ainst him—a mere web of gossamer, it appeared—ied many to doubt the propriety of en- forcing the death penalty. For toe third time the case Was ably argued io the Vourt Of Anneaia bur | prised by Sheri | hie for? The night | ing physicians, among whom were preserved a demeanor totally inconsistent with | guilt, His dasa and utter indifference to | | the frightiul fate that awaited him had won for him many sympathizers, and not a tew that believed his manner to that of a mis- chievous schoolboy, who was unjustly charged with an offence and foolishly disdained to recog- nize the magnitude of the accusation, ‘The events of Wednesday morning forever dispelled any Iin- gering doubts and leit not the faintest web upon which to rest a hope of his muoceuce. When ap- with an uncontrollable agony of tear. jaded from his naturally pallid face, ‘The biood his strong irame quaked as though struggling with an ague, | and his limbs almosé tailed to support bim. In a moment he appeared to reatize the full force of his terrible situation, and irom that time he directed his mind, with his characteristic energy, to prepa- Tation lor the great change so suddenly brought hear vo him, HIS CONFESSION. He stated to the Sheriff that on the 5th of April, 1872, while in the mill with Lynn, the latter went vo the sink and remarked, “Joe, did yourun that wheat up?” “Yes,” said Davis. Lynn then approached the sink, and, looking down, said, “What did you tell me tuat G—d d—d Davis replied, I didn’t.” Raising himself up Lynn struck Davis. Lynn then bent over the sink again when Davis kicked him in the temple. Davis said he then became impressed with the fact that eitner he or Lyna had to die, that Lynn was a remarkably athletic man and very passionate, and would certainly Kili him if he did not succeed in disabiing him. With this mtenuon, as quick as thought he SEIZED AN ADZE AND STRUCK HIM rapidly five or six heavy blows over the head, the blood from the wounds spurting out over the shirt of Davis. Lynn jel), making an almost inarticulate exclamation, and Davis threw his body into the sink, which Was scarcely large enough to admit it, saying, not say What his ieelings were when be discovered that his employer was dead, and his reticence in regard to his own Ieelings and some of the minutie of the tragedy have Jed many in this locality to ac- cept his coufession with many grains of scepticism. Alter he had disposed of Lynn he went to his room in the mul and, taking off his shirt, washed from | his clothes all the marks o! guilt, He dressed himseil, and, re-entering the mull, took the adze which he used in his murderous assault and washed caretully from it all marks of ube recent encounter and replaced it In its accustomed position. He then discovered that from some cause the wheat Was not moving in the elevator. Going down on the Mrss floor he lound that the obstruction was the pocketbook of Lynn, which had probably fallen from his clothes on the wheat when he was thrown into the sinkor bin, Up to this time no idea of robbery had entered his mind aud the motive whicu the State urged during his trial nad never occurred to him. He picked up the pocketbook, and upon examination found $550 and some cents in good money and $200 in counterteit currency. The good money he stowed away in his poot and there he retained it during the whole | time that the murder was being investigated | (which occupied several days), carried it to jail | with him, hid it im the water closet and finally | gave 1t to Judge Malsby as a retaming Jee—not, however, a8 Davis says, with the Knowledge of the Judge as to where the money was obtained. Davis then saddled his horse, placing the bloody shirt beneath the saddle, together with the pocket- book, and started Jor Onion Bridge. When he reached Sam’s Creek—a small stream which he was compelled to cross on his way—he tore the shirt, pocketbook, papers and counterteit money into ribbons and scattered the fragments over the | bed of the stream. Such was the coniession of Davis to the Sheriff of Carroll county. THE CULPRIT’S LasT HOURS. As the time approached for his execution tne trepidation of Davis increased; P) ely forsook him and it was with difficulty that | ent he could lorce @ morsel down bis throat. Yester- | day his spiritual advisers, Revs, Cramer and | Juliau Ingie, were constantly with him, in fact, they did uot leave him until last night. At that | time two turnkeys. Powder and Matiies, entered | his cell and sat up with him until this morning. | | He was very restiess and repeatedly said he aid | | not fear to die. At twelve o’ciock he dozea off, . apparently muttering in his sleep and giving evi- | dence that bis mind was still at work conjuring up phantasmal images of the world beyoud the grave. Touching a suggestion of one of the Watchers to the other he si “NO, sir; 1 am not asleep.” Davis arose at three o'clock, | and, Opening bis Bible, read the eighth chapter of | St. Joun, the twenty-third chapter of St. Matthew and a cilapter from the Epistle to the Philippians, He then wrote two or three pages of foolscap, to complete a Kind of ‘y upon which he had been engaged. At jour o'clock lg asked the warden to allow him to walk out on the corridor and there exercise for halfan hour. He reclined on his bed for a short time and complained of a bad taste in his mouth, Powder advised him to take some liquor, and be swallowed probably a mouthiul | o! whiskey. During the might he wrote out | what he intended to say on the gallows, | but subsequently destroyed the manuscript. Early this morning the various roads jeading into West- inster syarmed with people moving towards the né of the execution. It was pretty generally known that Davis would not be executed beiore tweive o'clock, but ail the public houses of the city were filled to repletion before nine o’clock in the Morning. Soon the throng began to MOVE TOWARDS THE JAIL, a massive stone structure on the east side of the town, and long before the moment fixed for the execution all avenues commanding a view of the gallows had been occupied. A gentleman, an enyoy of Davis’ tatner, was closeted with the ‘prisoner for some time this morning, but he declinea to state the object of his visit. At nine o'clock the spiritual advisers of the condemned man resumed their duties. He was again attended by Rev. R. N. Cramer, of the Ger- man Reformed Church; Kev. Julian Ingle, of the | Episcopal Church, and two preachers of the Meth- | odist persuasion. At fitteen minutes past eleven o’clock the holy communion was partaken of by Davis, Mr. Cramer being the celebrant. In the meantime the crowa outside of the jail had been greatiy augmented and snow began to fall. As s00n as Davis had concluded his devotions he was enveloped in a white shroud by Sherti Devilibiss. A PROCESSION TO THE GALLOWS. i At twelve o'clock the procession moved from the Sherif’s room, with Constables Gorsuch and Siemm in front, the doomed man next and the ministers of the Gospel, Sherif, deputies and rep- | resentatives of the press. Following in this order the procession moved down the stairs of the basement and out in the jail yard, Davis was evidently very weak, looking more like a dead than a living man, and quietly | ascended the scaffold (which was very bigh), rest- | ing upon the arms of the Revs. Cramer avd Richardson, The gallows was a cumbrous affair, with about twice as much lumber in it as was necessary and somewhat complicated. About 100 persous were crowded tnto the small area kuown as the jail yard, and a perceptible murmur arose from the thousands on the outside of the en- | closure as they, for the first time, caught a glimpse of the miserable young man. DAVIS BOWED T0 THE AUDIENCE on the outside and in a@ distinct voice delivered 4 piece of the usual gallows oratory. He addressed the multitude as his “dear iriends,” stated that his confession had been printed and was being sold for the benefit of his sister, and he did nov propose to reiterate iton the scaffold. The pam- phiet was at the moment beg hawked in the streets of the town, under the titie “Lite and Con- fession of Joseph W. Davis.” His address at times was disconnected and rambling, and more than once ms fe be alluded to his sister. He was about to say that he nad been brongnt to the galiows by the murder | oi the man who hud led him into an evil course, but was checked by his spiritual udvisers. He tola the spectators that he had Made his peace with God, and hoped to meet tuem | in heaven, and that he never intended to kill Lynn When he struck him. At the conclusion of bis speech a cry arose from the masses of “GOODBY, JO¥." Rev. Mr. Cramer offered up a prayer, and all but the Sheriff and his assistants, after shaking hands with Davis, retired from the platiorm. Sherif | Devilibois then secured the legs of the doomed man and adjusted the noose about the neck, drew the cap over his face and tied it, and, after shaking hands with Davis, passed rapidiy down the steps, pulling out the peg supporting the platform, and at eleven minutes after twelve o'clock Davis was sent to That bourne from whence no traveller returns. For a few moments there were muscular convul- sions of the limbs, and once or twice the legs were drawn up. He seemed fo suffer but been how- ever, and at twenty-five minutes after twelve the body was iowered. At yi ged fa a ettend- vi was pronounced @. ¢ twelve life was prono: eel ler, J.

At thirty-one minutes after twelve o'clock the body was cut down and piaced in a neat coffin. ‘The doctors differed as to whether the neck was dislocated or not, but the general impression was that, though the rope slipped somewhat, his neck yas broken by the fail and his death instantaneous.

MeCotter Also Hanged at Cambridge for the Murder of His Father-in-Law. CAMBRIDGE, Dorchester County, raed Feb. 6, 1874. The execution of William H. McCotter took | place here to-day. The crime of which he was convicted was the murder of his father-in-law, Robert Insley, last September. McCotter was a | youbg man of twenty-five years of age and a resi- dent of this county. His trial took place at the term of the court held here last November. The | evidence was entirely circumstantial, but so conclusive in its mature as to leave | little doubt of his guilt in the minds of those who were present at the trial. McCotter, in 1872, married a daughter of Robert Insley. She, was a young girl of but seventeen years of age. | They did not live very happily together, in conse- | quence of which she often left her husband’s house | and went to that of her parents, No obstacle, | | however, was throwu in the way of McCotter, pre- | | venting him trom seeing his wife whenever he | called at the house of his father-in-law jor that | parpose, which he irequently did, | tinued absences from his own home very much em- | bittered him against his father-in-law, whom he blamed as the cause, and he had been heard to make threats that | HE WOULD KILL INSLEY | if he kept on interfering in his family matters. On | Saturday, the 6th of September, 1872, Insley, at daybreak, left his house and went oystering, to a | point not very far distant. He did not return | in the evening, and his wife, becoming very anx- | | ious about him, had his neighbors next morning | start out in search of him. They found his dead | body a short distance from the path which | | he would have had to take returning from ; nis boat to his house. His ace was | bruised, several of his ribs were broken, and his skull fractured at the back of the head. | The doctors who examined the body testified that | the wounds were such as could be made by a heavy stick or @ cart stanchion. The probability was that he was felled by a blow from behind, and that the bruises on his face were caused by falling. | | The biows on the ribs might have proved fatal in a | short time, but that on the skull would have caused death in a few minutes. There were fresh tracks of cart wheels near the body, and | these corresponded to the peculiar wheels of McCotter’s cart, one of the _ tires of which was flat and the other round. It was this evidence of the cart wheels. and the threats of Mc- Cotter which convicted him. He joined in the search, a8 tt transpired afterwards, for the pur- pose of averting suspicion against himself, | and with a reckless carelessness almost | led the party to the spot where the body of | the poor victim was found. He was the first to | touch it and assisted in lilting it into the vehicle in which 1t was carried home. McCotter was an uneducated man but exhibited, | after his conviction, a good deal of low cunning and succeeded in getting a good many of the intelli- | gene men Of this community interested in his behalf ev. S, S. Baker and the prisoner’s counsel, with other prominent citizens, got up petitions in his | | behalf, which were signed also by the jury which | convicted lim, asking for executive clemency; | but Governor Whyte, in response to these | appeals, replied that he had determined when he entered upon the discharge of his duties as Chief Magistrate of the State o! Maryland, that he would never interpose his anthority to stay the | execution of criminals sentenced by due process | of law, except under extraordinary circumstances, | such a8 grave doubts of the guilt of the person, | which would lead to establish innocence. Several strange statements were made by M’COITER AFTER HIS SENTENCE He said thaton the afternoon of the Saturday on which Insley was last seen alive, the wife o1 the | murdered man came to his (McCotter’s) house, and | acknowledged that she had killed her husband the Right before at their house, and then, with assist- | | ance, had removed the body to the place where | | it was found. Last Sunday McCotter sent for Mr. Charles F. Goldsborough, one of his counsel, and confessed to him that he had hid in ‘the bushes waiting for his father-in-law | Insley and had Killed him at the time and in the manuer proved.on the trial. Governor Whyte | heard of this confession of the prisoner, and in- | formed Dr. Hayward, Commissioner of the Land Oftice, who made a final appeal to him on | Monday for mercy, that there could be no hope for executive clemency. ‘The condemned | man must prepare himself for death. ‘The de- mands of the law would not be interfered with. On Wednesday McCotter made another confession to the editor of the Cambridge News, and on Thursday to the clergy attending him, all of these varying somewhat, though in the latter two | sey claiming that the kuling was in self- | jefense. THE GALLOWS. | Was brought from Easton and was erected back | of the Jail. At his own request McCotter was taken by the Sheriff to look ut it, the day before the execution, and with a recklessness which was shocking insisted upon ing upon the scaffold to rehearse the drama to fe periormed on the fol- lowing morning. He went upon the scaffold, placing himself on the trap door, under the drop. and with @ laugh said, ‘Don’t pull away the drop now.

At half-past s1x o’clock last evening an accident | occurred on the “one-legged Elevated Ratiroad” which created a great deal of excitement and caused the very serious injury of one of the road’s employés, A locomotive, with two cars attached, | was going up town at the uswal rate of speed, and These con- | streets an axle under the locomotive broke in such @ manner as to cause the train to come to a very abrupt standstill. The cars were well filled with passengers, among whom were two ladies, | and to. say all were most _ effectually | frightened conveys a very slight idea of | the condition of their nervous system. The police, aided by a number of citizens, quickly procured ladders and in this way took all the oc- | cupants of the cars, with the exception of the | ladies, down from their lofty elevation. The ladies | | were assisted over a board awning and into the window of a grocery store near the scene of the | accident. When the axle broke the locomotive was thrown over on one side, and feli part way through be- | een the tracks, where it caugbt and found a | ser lodgment, The lively shaking up which it eceived caused the breaking of the steam gauge, and through this the steam and __ boiling water poured, completely enveloping the firemen. | James Ryan, a lad of seventeen, who lives at No. 71 Washington street, was very severely scalded about the legs and lower portion of the | body, and it is thought he cannot recover.

A FEMALE JUSTIOE OF THE PEACE, Avausta, Me., Feb. 6, 1874, A question having been raised as to the legal Tight of a woman to hold the office of Justice of the Peace, the Governor and Council have called | upon the Supreme Court for their opinion, first as to whether she has such a right now, under the ¢ Constitution and laws, and, second, whether it is competent for the Legislature to authorize such appointment of a woman, Jeff Davis is in trouble with ex-Senator Foote not only, but with Aleck Stephens, It reached the ears of Davis that Stephens was about to champion | the cause of the Cuban patriots, and he remarked that he was “glad that Stephens had at last got out of the fighting point.” ‘fhe words came back to Stephens, and he has written a long and vin- dictive letter to a Georgia paper, in which Davis is bandied without gioves. There is a popular impression abroad that Mr. Davis talks too much, and it is certain that the time for the Southern brethren to dwell together in unit7 has gone by. et SHIPPING NEWS.
