'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,

PHITT, M. D., need no recommendation

culiar to our Southern climate having already estab?

and the adjoining Mates. As the majority ot persons
living in the south ure predisposed to disease of the
Liver, it is granted by aU intelligent physicians that
most of tbe pains and aches of our people are due
to orgtnlo or lunetional derangement of that Impor?

Bilious Pills strike directly at tho root of the evil.

-a disease from which the writer bas suffered much
for six years-and being persuaded that bundrea s
who now suffer from thia annoying complaint would
