That circumstantantial evidence oariuot always be strictly relied ort, is probed by fha molaneholy /act that innocent men and women have been legally murdered in Kuglaad," witness Eliza Fobbing, Ambrose ?rwynett, and. many other oases,* THE B??THER3. Who has hot heard of*'the story of the two brothers?- Twenty different versions exist, many of -them equally incorrect. They"traveled to h seaport town together; an argurjaen t, vociferously conducted., ensued after dinner; they slept itt a do?bfe-bedded room; on? of,the brothers rose at 3 o'clock, .-ref a fine summer morning, and wandered to n cliff. He was seized by smugglers, Whom ho detected in buying puncheons of spirits. They were too.timiable fo murder hun, and merely put inri) on, board a vessel "tnhich waa bound for the. West Indies. Meanwhile his brother, who, after his port stine ead altercation, had slept the calm sleep of innocence, awoke in the aaatras?>a? to find his brother's pillow covered with blood, and his brother missing. It eau ba easily believed that when he rang the bell and twamoned the landlord, Ins protesta? tions of innocence were fruitless, and he was .? ?s iW>wH- or .?? m . 'soon ?n tb? hands of the myrmidons o law. Steina of blood were traced from, the bed-roonf to the edge of a cliff, where marka of a scuffle were found. He was indicted for murder, and defended by econ* sei, Every effort was j?ade to aa ve his. life, and bis life was saved--but not in th? way our readers may imagine. .' The interest of thia terrible ?Trama is *e Aha need by the fact tb at; the unfortunate mau was engaged to a beautiful young gill, i who was present at-bis^ trial, believed to the last in Jila-, innocence, and left bim. I after-a heart-rending interview, in the con - demoed* ?elk 1 t * j Inr'vb?*? g??d'old day a, men were not 'hanged ?n front of country jails but on an adjacent-eoranxon considered suitable for the spectacle; The victim, in this instance, was > taken to the pla??'?f execution and con? structively strangled. When the law's last vengeance bad been, wreaked, a shep? herd, wandering near the spot, heard a low I moan, rand1 cul down tbe pendant half choked man. tie re animated, in his rude way, this creatur* ?hom Providence would seem, to.h ave saved by means miraculous as ever .such interposition could be. He as? sisted hi? escape, and communicated with his now still more frantic betrothed, whose relation* supplied the necessary money fer flight. He. was placed on board a vessel j inj.the'cbannei bound * for. Barbadoes; and the first man he met ?-^Bridgetown was the brother for whose murder he had been wholly convicted and half-hanged. Their interview may be imagined. . Earnest bad \ left Walter asleep; he bad been seized with a violent fit of bleeding at the nose, which woulcj account for the blood upon the pil? lo jr, and for similar stains which, as l have al?ted, were Haced to the cliff. How be fell into, the hands of smugglers bas already been narrated. This, of course, well au-r theotioatedy but rather improbable ?tory, proves the infallibility > of the 'twelve in? telligent men.* It is human to err, and h. Ja human to err on the side of mercy. * - - THE ELOPEMENT. About forty years ago, ? gentleman was tr?ed " and convicted upon circumstantial evidence of thc murder of his niece. . Slie wa* heard to exclaim, 'don't kill me, uncle; don't kill me!' and that instant a pistol or fowling-piece was fired off. Upon these circumstances tho gentleman was convicted and executed. Near twelve months after, tile niece, who had eloped, arrived in Eng*' land; and hearing of the affair, elucidated tbe'; whole transaction. lr, appeared that she iliad formed an attach me ntfbr a per3on of whom her uncle disapproved. ' When walking in the fields, he was earnestly dis reading.her from the connection, wheo.she 8uplied, 'that she was resolved to nave him, or it. would be her death; and therefore said, don't kill mo, unciel don't kill me. "At tba moment she uttered these word, a fowl? ing prece-was discharged by .a sportsman iu. a neighboring held? The same night she eloped from, bet?. atf>?h& House; and the combination of these suspicious circum? stances occasioned his ignonxm?ott* death. M I i !?? JJ 1 Ml mi. It\ * .jj* ?
