Wonderful and Astounding Develop*
ments
Tht United Stntti verm* James A. Fer
vor th, (a citizen,) charged with Larce
ny—Xegro Testimony.
The Superior Provost Court of the 3rd
Sub-Dietrict, Er stern South Carolina, so
ably patiently and efficiently presided
over by th« Honorable K. R. Clerk, of
Lowell, Massachusetts, has recently been
the forum in which one of .the must re
markable cases has been tried, that has
ever been recorded in tbo anmiLrof crim
inal jurisprudence. To give some idea of
the developments that were produced up
on the trial, it is necessary to premise, that
•otne two weeks previous to the considera
tion of the case aud circumstance under
•discussion, the same defendant, James A.
Foxwotth, was indicted, arra'm^ed and
tried,'before Judge (lark, upon a charge
of stealing a bale of cotton from the plan-
tatMto of one Willis Spann, of Sumter
Dirtriet. The defendant was prosecuted
by Mr. T- B. Fraser, on tbo purt of the
goverqmeut t and defetidedby F. J. Moses
and T. W r . Dinkins, Esquires. The pros
ecution developed a train of circumstan
tial evidence to implicate th»> defendant,
add produced one witness of high charac
ter, who swore positively that be was satis-
fieif that the bale of Cotton in question,
and identified by the witnesses, was the
cotton alledged to have been stolen by the
defendant. The witness could go qo fur
ther than to express his entire satisfaction
that the cotton was the same. Much evi-
deoce was also produced in reference to
the character and quality of the cotton,
the baawing, rope, siie and measurement.
The defence produced five witnesses, who
testifiei mg tive’y aud positively to a
contrary state of facts. After argument,
the court, with the sound judicial discre
tion that characterizes the decisions of
dodge Olark, acquitted the defendant, as
important doubts were raised by the cop-
flicting statements of the witnesses, and
the defendant was entitled to the benefits
of said doubts. This trial, and the fact
that the testimony of fVeodmen Was Ad
mitted, gave ground for wide and extend
ed speculation A large and respectable
audience attended, and lew doubted but
that the defendant was guilty, but admit
ted t)ut the testimony raised a doubt It
is thui perceived that there is always a
gilen* prejudice at work against any man,
however innocent, who incurs thermisfor
tune to labor under a charge tVom any
quarter. The cunning of the negfro is
proverbial, aud this accusation against Mr.
Fox worth constituted the basis of the
jwiamcwtion, y, which we arfabout to make
reference. Mv, Foxworth is a man of
hi^h natural intdli<|miceand great shrewd
ness, and is most respectably connected,
but these charge* and the first trial, raised
great «Mpiciao» as to bis honesty and in-
tegrky—m fact, he haA a bad name, aud
when a man has a downward path to go,
everybody ia armed against him Great
X iantlties of cotton bad bec« stolen, and
e teal ef public condemnation had bfeen
fastened upon the defendant.
On Tuesday hist, then, James A. Fpx-
wortn was arraiguci before fkuUge cWk
on \ three several indictments—for the
ataaiiBg of sundry bales of cotton. Iu
all the oases Mr. E. Y\ . Moise appeared
for the government as prosecutor, aud the
defendant was defended by James 8. 0.
Richardson and T. Vf. Dinkins, Esquirea.
The first indictment Contained three
counts. 1st That the said defendant did,
on or ubont the 10th day of September.
1865, purchase four bales of cotton from
the frecdpicu Adt/oand /.rue/,and others,
in the employ of F. H. Kennedy, which
wtton was stolen, and which the defend
ant knew to have been stolen by the said
negroes, aud without the necessary permit
Rwm the comnmndaut of the post aa re
quired by law. The second count, char-
gwHirm directly with stealing said cotton
property of F. ft. Kennedy, and the
fhird count charged them with Veceinng
the said cotton, kqowtug-it to have been
stolen, and so forth. * . ;
*~ Tfie second iiidittiiwiit charged that two

It was 4 bales of Mr, Kenneys’ cotton.—

ry man me and Israel let have the cotton

counsels, all that could be elicited was a
straight forward tale, and that Mr. James
Foxworth.utw the man. - Witness knew

(pointing to him.) ’ibe defendant's.eouo-
s.*l pressed the witness so vigorously that
tbo counsel for the government internosed
and asked the protection of the court for
the wituese. The court suggested to the
counsel that lie must take into considera
tion the condition of the witness, as he had
just been made tVce, and was uneducated.
*5nd that this was his first experience in a
court of justice. '1 he witness further said
“so help me God, Mass Jeems is the man
—me aud Israel gave the cotton to him,”
and looked slily at Mr. F. and aaid "don't
I know Mass JeemsT’ All this time, not
a man in the court room, saving the de
fendant and-, bis counsel, believed in bis
innocence. Next Israel the ftewlmun, was
exumiuciF—when sworn to tell the truth,
he says, raising his hand aud calling, in a
theatrical manner, God to witness, said,
"Yes Bos*, the truth from here to Heav
en.” Tjiis witness has, as a slave, borne
an irreproachable character, and enjoyed
the confidence of his former master, and
present employer, Col. F. II. Kennedy.—
Witness said be had been concerned iu it,
aud repeated the same story, and corrobo
rated the testimony of Adda iu every par
ticular, with not the slightest deviation,
said the matter had been on his mind all
the time, sleeping and waking—that while
driving his master he could uut rest, but
that the truth had to come out. *'So help
him, Lord, Mare Jeems Foxworth is the
man that got the cotton. Here he is,”
|(pointiugto him) and so forth. Every
body was confident, aud uo reasonable man
could doubt the certain conviction of the
defendant But the Goverumeut intro
duced other testmiony—Mr. Kennedy as
to the loss of the cotton—and also other
fteedmen who testified to detached por
tions of the facts, and circumstances as
.narrated by Adda acd Israel, f'uloin, a
troadman, sworn that the $50 was sent by
him, from Mr. Foxworth, and so forth,
and so on. The proof as high as Peleon
on Ossa, was piled pq the head of the de
fendant. Many interesting side-bar argu-
meuts were had between the counsel, and
then ctnnc the defence.
the counsel for the defence made seve
ral points to rebut the testimony of the
prosecution. , First, to prove an 'alii, and
to impeach the credit of the witnesses, all
of which were brought forward as well as
the circumstances of a very had case would
admit of. To save time, the government
admitted the previous bad character of
A'tit&, W,»fc /»>•«»«/ mwLfcllan is»4 xwl
unimpeached. The alibi could only be
(MB-ually made out by the testimony—os
fbr instance, the mother of the defendant
slept in an adioining room—saw defend
ant retire to Bed, was herself sick, and
heard defendant, who has a cough .cough
ing in the night, also the father of the de
fendant.' Thecontradietory statements of
the first witnesses, Addo and Isra.fl, were
nexthrotrght up. but could not be sustain
ed, for the defendant's own witnesses turn
ed against hifls, and there he stood, in the
solitary disgrace of a condemned villain.
The interest of the crowd had somewhat
subsided, as the ease was too clear; Seme
came and went, and some tarried, to hear
the speaking of the emrasel; hqt iu this
instance they were disappointed, aa... the
judge said it wa* unnecessary to consume
time in argtuobnti as the cas* was made
out beyond any question. There wo* an
offender taught at last, so long uit-
w hipped of Justice, and nothing remained
k* to sentence the accused. He was pro-

- CHAPTER 2D.
While Mr. Dinkins was engaged in the
cross-examitidtion of the witness, Addo,
ho asked him if he knew where the cot
ton was at present. He replied “No,”
aud* seemeir ti) place himself upon he
gunrd,aqd^hung his head. Mr. Moist
watched the movement very closely, uml
intently evoj the witness. Immediately
after the examination of the witnesses for
the prosecution, Mr. Moise sought outthe
Provost Marshall, and said to him that
Addo may'have told the truth, no doubt,
but not all the truth, add that we must
find out where all Mr. Kennedy's cotton
iSl The trial being closed, the Pro. Mar
shal began his investigations, and conduct
ed them as will ho afterwards seen with
most astonishing results. He first ap
proached the defendant, Foxworth, aud
after an interview with him, stated to
Foxworth's counsel, that he doubted the
guilt of the convicted man, fVom the sol
emnity of his asseverations of innocenee.
He next toot AtA/o into the country, in a
carriage. The counsel for the government
suggested to the Assistant Provost Mar
shall, Cupt. Burgess, that he knew some
thing of the negro character, and that
some fifty or a hundred .lashes upon his
hack would bring the truth. This, of
course to a Northern man appeared strange;
hut, at all events, the parties proceeded
into the country, the scene of the commis
sion of felony. They reached the place
aud hbgnu to question Addo, and pointing
out places as to where the wagon went,
detected that it was impossible for the
wagon to go through the way pointed out
by AHifo. Addo still persisted in the
truth of his former statement. But at last
the dernier remedy was resorted to. Un
der eompulskui, Addo said he had lied,
and that some other parties, and not Mr.
Foxworth, got the cytton. Mirabilu Die-
tin ! The Assistant Provost Marshall was
astonished and did not know what course
to pursue, lie had heard the testimony
the day previous, and as the proper officer
of tho government assisted iu the conduct
of the prosecution and the change in the
statement of the witness completely non
plussed him. However, the Provost Mar
shall proceeded to do justice to the grave
mutter entrusted to his supervisiou and
charge. He took the witness, Addo, and
eventually traced up the cotton, and im
plicated some eight or ten othef parties,
and Mr. James A. Foxworth was an inno
cent and persecuted man. Mr. Moise ex
amined a great many freedmeu and peo
ple, and the following facts were elicited :
A Mr. Daniel Kenney went in compa
ny with a soldier of the garrison by name
of YY cleb, to a Mr. T. S. YY'ehb’s planta
tion, 1 j miles distant from the town, and
hired his wagon, as they said, to haul
some government cotton. He hired it to
them. Some freedmen. Sam, Well, Joe
BVuVe (Barber,) and others, accompanied
the wagon, Kenney and the soldier YVcIeh.
They alt went to Mr. Kennedy’s planta
tion, at night, and saw the negroes Addo
and Israel, took the cotton and returned
through the town to Mr. YVebb’s, planta
tion. The latter has & screw, at which he
generally repacks cotton for the public.—>
On the following morning, Kenney and
the Soldier applied to him, (Mr. T. 8.
Webb,) tp record and repack it for them
He agreed to record it. as his Screw wa-
out, *>t order, mid eou.d not repack it.—
They then offered him one third of it, if
ho wnaltl- sell it for them. To tl^a he.
Mi*. Webb, agreed ; and having other cot
ton for sale, he brought these four bales
info market and two others, which he sold
as his own. He first obtained, according
to the general orders upon the subject, a
permit, which is done by making affidavit
that the cotton is the property of the ven
dor. Upon this affidavit Sir. T. S. Webb,
was arraigned before Judge Clark, on a
oharge of perjury. He put in a special
plea, stating the facts, and that he consid
ered the affidavit as a formality,and threw
himself upon the mercy of the court.—
Fined 8100 and to refund the money re
ceived for the cotton. Keonoy. a shop-
keeper, and YVelch made their etMp*
from the guard, having alreadv received a
part of the purchase money or the stolen
cotton. : : /
Mr. Moise then moved before the
Court, that the two convictions against
James A. Foxworth be re-op*oed, and
ordered for a new trials A long U*t of
witnesses were HtreiuMd, s*i rievdLlto
yond all doubt, the facts as last stated

crime he had committed against
ad man, but Addo looked slyly from
under the whites of bis eyes and said he
“hoted Mass Jeems would not think hard
The cates were opened seriatim, and
Mr. Foxworth was discharged. Thn*
the innocent has escaped. He has been
relieved from that heavy stigma, that hung,
a lew days ago, like a pall upon him and
his family.: lie was proreu innocent by
t bum me witnesses who called heaven to
witness their former statements, convicting
him. 7 if!" ‘ '
Judge Clark was as prompt to do the
innocent accused justice aa he was prompt
and dertenntned in the first instance, to
do hls duty to the government which he
represented. YY’hile referring to him, the
Bar have to thank him, for great patience,
great Amiability and courtesy, in the or
deal; iw a Judge, be has to pass through
nearly every day, while his decisions arc
characterized by great clearness, itnpar-
tiality, and promptness.
rnnnpjy ordered the perjured wit
nesses, Adao and Ire el before a military
coumiissioo, there to he indicted and tried
for Larceny and Perjury.
So ends the second and last Chapter of
this eventful and extraordinary case. The
simple, instructive lesson it inculcates, is
to take, with caution and circumspection,
the evidence of negroes, against white
men. The negro m.ty be, in the future,
educated, to a degree, to understand the
solemnities and obligations of an oath, and
become worthy of the freedom which
civilization and the march of events have
cast upon him. but God forbid that

any
people should he subjected, tried and con-

clare, that there shall be formed and organized
in each Judicial District one or more militia
companies for a home police, to act under and
be auxilary to the military garrison of such
District in preventing crimes and preserving
the peace of the District. The companies will
consist of af'aptain and three Lieutenants and
eighty men’, scattered over the District so as
to be easily accessible from all points where
any disturbance may occur. When the com
panies are formed, they will report, th'ouph
their Captains, to the respective Brigadier
Generals commanding in South CatoMna. and
to the Provost Marshals at tho respective Court
Houses, and from them receive orders. When
arrests have been made, they will turn the of
fenders over to the civil authorities or bring
them before the Provost Court Marshal for
trial and punishment, according to the terms
of agreement between Generals MEADE and
OILLMORE and myself as to the respective
jurisdiction of the civil and military authori
ties of South Carolina.
This police guard will be voluntary in its
organization, and should be composed of none
but discreet persons of standing and character
in the comtauTt^j, who are willing to render
their services promptly when the oeevieu re
quires. It is thought that the bare organiza
tion of such forces throughout the State, will
have a most salutary influence in preserving
peace and order and in preventing crime —
The evil doers will know that there is a power,
ready at hand, to arrest them and bring them
to justice. It is to be honed that all good cit
izens will cheerfully render this service. It
should be a post of honor, as it is, to guard
and protect the country,
Done at Columbia, the day and year above
