'Tbe Catie of McConnell-Acquittai of the Prisoner. lUinois has been indulging in the sensation of a murder trial which attracts moro than or? dinary attention, both .from the peculiar cir? cumstances ot the crime and the fact that the agency relied upon for conviction was circum? stantial evidence. Tho following is a brief statement of the facts involved m the oase :' " 0.1 tho morning of the 9th of February last the inhabitants of the quiet little village of Jacksonville were startled by finding dead and murdered in his office ?lr. Murray McConnell, one of the oldest and most prominenc of the citizens of the place. It was shortly before breakfast, and the hour when, in a small town, there is least apprehension of danger or crime, ' every orre being moving. Within a short time, suspicion being of couree intensely exciton, iacts were developed which led to the ar rent of Wm. A. Robinson, a young man of heretofore Sood charaoter, a grocer by occupation, and an son bf an old and esteemed citizen. Itob Jnaon was the debtor of General aicuonneu, and the theory of the prosecution is that out In the Western village was re-enacted .on a amall scale the VYebater-Parkman tragedy, which has made Boston celebrated. The amount, it ia true, in this oase was but small sotse few hundred d illara-but the passions aroused were tho same. At all ev&nts, this tragedy starts a sugges? tive reflection. One of the great risks at tee d . .lng the loaning of money does not ordinarily acorn to be taken into account. Lenders will ?carefully weigh the security, the danger ol loss by death, fire, fraud dr other' causes, but' they rarely take into estimation the peril into which they may venture their lives. An igno? rant or thoughtless debtor will always look on the death of a creditor as a re'.ief, and in more . than one way it. is. It ia at least a suspension of proceedings or temporary diversion, and human nature knows that administrators do not push and collect with the same vigor as their dead principal's. A thousand times, debt has made the deDtor wish, even perhaps un? consciously, for the end of bis creditor; and more than once ii has nerved the arm to drive the fatal blow. Should the bargain bo a hard one-should the terms be exacting and gri? ping-the conscience of the debtor will even at? tempt to defend what his hand shrinks from. In this case, so far as we know, the loan was usurious. In the statement of the prisoner, received in evidence, we find that he admits that he owed money to the murdered man. and {:xvea us the items of the transaction. ? Says he accused: "I have been acquainted with General McConnell ever since I came to Jack ?onvtlle, intimately; I have had business with , him; tho first was on the 81 day of May, 1867; I borrowed money of him-$480, $300 at 40 per cent, premium; I give my note, due in one ?ear, at 10 per cent ; it was paid and taken up; gave another note in September of that year; Kelsey Bod signed the $400 note; Gonoral Mc? Connell gave me gold coin-no coupons or - bonds: I pail the note by giving another note for $400, at 10 per cent interest from date; I don't remember when it was doe; Messrs. Mil? ler Sc M* yioid wer o securities; I executed the note in September; the Wtb, I think; it was pa'd in December; I paid the last note in this office; G?n?ral McConnell and I were present, and no one else; it waa in the afternoon, late in the day; I paid tum an ?ven $4oO; 1 think the note inokiUed the interest; 1 paid it, and he ?av? me $fi;,I think tue note waa drawn in? cluding. 10 per cent; a iv&uca on tho first note; I paid the first Tiote by giving him his note And'paying $80 and intefeflt. ca?h; thia is tho first note; the" other note-was ?vow $400; I owed him that amount; I know the note wag given for $400, and I paid him that amount, and he paid me $5; I destroyed that note on the Bamo day; burned ie in my stove in De? cember; 1 did not notify my securities that X find paid that note and executed another. " In more than one feature thia statement is vague and unsatisfactory. Was the forty per oent. premium given in exchange for gold? I? not, McConnell was asking and rece.ving fifty per cent, tor this loan-a rate which, if exact? ed, the uebtor could not live under. On the ' 3d Of May, 1S67, gold was not at forty per cent, premium but at hirty-five, so that, under the most favorable construcci?n. Mr. McConnell was getting some firteen per cent, from a maa who could only apparently pay his notes by giving new ones.. - Grea* sympathy for the prisoner prevailed among his neighbors and those of the mur? dered man. Everv morning, we are told bo.ti tilul bouquets ot flowers were sent bim and lent their grateful presence to the otherwise grim hall of j uenoo. . Tue prosecution depended entirely on cir? cumstantial evidence-that romance-ground of 252 *~ *ind tbi- laot stimulated unusual in? terest* and discussion. Above we have given the motive as urned by the State m its theory of prosecution, it la Qf course, in oui luait, impossible to even out.ine the testimony, which consista Of A vast mass of slight and indcucn dant factB. r Some of the furors in this case, when aeleot .d, asserted their willingness to convict a man on direct toatinmny of murder, bat they were unwilling to do so when the eridenoo is pater* oiroumsiantial ' This diatinotion is more than foolish. lia fact is proved,* it matt ?is little how it i j done, and lawyers andmoiaphvfcioUns both admit now that or tho two kinds Of evi? dence, that commonly known as circumstan? tial, when tub and unbroken, ia more rbh> bl? than thai which ia properly known as direot. . And jet mern, or a good map?, mea, as in this ?ase, from tho timidity of ignora*^ ignore .this fact. j It baa, indeed,' among professional men, grown almost axiopiatio to,assert tnaWtrouru atanlialovid?ncd is almdst always more relia? ble than dtreet testimony. Jhie M. howe ver, perhaps poshing the doctrine too tar, and to ?br ous d UM TB? ?(1 VOCA 16 WB? **** LT ] ; Ob3?^ murty witnesses if't'nis m Jme ot evidence-do not come JABJ? court of themselves, 'f hov teqnire to be proved by witnesses who give direst teat mcny to the -fact ot their existence. In their being pro ?no* i hos tiie danger. They ?tay bo misap? prehended- they ma: not all be brought out and tbey are not free from the one great den? ser w ii ich direct evidence ta exposed to. The witness who swears to circumstantial evidence may swear' falsely as well as the one who swears to direct evidence. Whether he avers a collateral circumstance or a direct ' tact from his own eyee and ears, alike he may perjure himself and mislead a jury. The acquittal of tbe accused in this instanoe seems to have been in accordance with the wishes of aM those interested as friends or presentas spectators of the trial. Jnnocency was a popular verdict long before the legal one was banded in. But this destroys none of the deductions we have made. In tact, the result of tho trial clinches them; fdr if the supposed inducement be so powerful, then justice should be more alert, and if circumstantial evidence be so unerring, then is the faot of mnocenoy, as well as guilt, tho better established, -A young planter named Marr, son of B. H. Marr, a prominent lawyer of New Orleans, was waylaid and murdered last week on bis planta? tion, m Mississippi, by negroes. When found ho had been dead probably tw ) honra, and one hundred and thirty-two buckshot were discov? ered in his body. He bad gone out, lt is said, fot the purpose of arresting a negro, and was waylaid and murdered by a gang. Commentai. Bbxporcs? PROVII ENOE, B I-Por sehr Minnie Bepplien 220,317 feet Flooring ??ards.
