11 'II -?l 'i. . , !? . ' (MiaCTBLljANY HUNTED TO DEATH* I CONTINUED. J "Good Heaven I do you thea charge ino with murder?" exclaimed the as? tonished Beifont. Billy ODragon's character was too well known for the officers to credit muy B?mviu?ii? u? MU? against u uiuu with whom he was known to be at enmity; still the case was fearful. His evidence seemed incontestible. To wit: Upon missing the senora, he had hastened to the town to charge Belfont with the abduction, when, entering the before-mentioned wood, he had seen the body of Gray pros? trate and weltering in blood, and Belfont standing over him with his sword drawn. "Liar! how is this possible? See, my sword is stainless," said Belfont. The officers gazed upon the sword; it was as said, and they rejoiced. "The villain coolly wiped the sword on the grass. I saw him os I ap? proached," said Billy. "I will not answer this liar, nor attempt to shrink from any inquiry; but-" "Mr. Belfont, let me caution yon, that what you say now will be used in evidenoo against you," said the major. "I know it, Major, and would have it so; yet dare not for an hour permit this fearful charge to be believed by you-at least, without my denial." replied Belfont; and ?lie sternly ad? ded: "Passing through tho wood, I heard shrill screams, as if from c woman, and instantly, as it flashed across my mind tbnt it might be som? of our drunken fellows offering vio ; ' lenee to a female, I drew my swore and proceeded in the direction of thc cries, where I found-but alas I toe late to rescue-poor Gray, os you se? him, lying upon the greeu sward weltering in his blood." This story seemed too improbable even for the men who knew tin speaker; they curled their lips; ani Belfont was handed over to tho pro yost's guard. An inquiry took place. Tho cvi dence of Billy, who swore he hue seen Belfont wiping the blood fron his sword, might have been fatal, bu from the evidence of myself am several other medical men, who, upoi examination, found that it was no possible for the sword-a heavy saber given to him by a deceased friend ii the cavalry-to have inflicted th wound, which was small and triangu lar, and as such, evidently the effec of a bayonet thrust. This, Belfont' known character, the want of motiv for assassinating a man with whor ho had not quarreled, aud some hes' tation upon the part of Billy, suit oieutly exonerated him; the churg was dismissed. Believing in my friend, enrage with the malioious young scoundn who would have sworu away his life I could not help exclaiming, altlioug I had no foundation for my suspieioi "Do yon know, George, I belie* Lying Billy himself was tho assassin. "Why-wherefore? It is scarce! possible." "They might have quarreled aboi the senora, who, after all, may hal been taken away by Gray." "It is not possible, Crawford; Dr gon was not the man who killed Ora; We must bide our time; ho willy be found." "If so, nothing will excuse yoi calling out and shooting the litt reptile who would havo sworu awi your life." CONCLUDED IN OUR NEXT. BT THE Armor. OF ST.
