The follo\ve<i report for the St. Louis,
Crescent, of a case in the criminal court1
in that cii> will be read With painful interes
t.
The Stale vs. Augustus V. Jones.?Indictment
for passing counterfeit money.
The defendant in this case was, probably,
twenty-eight years of age, hut wore the
appearance of at least thirty-five, fie
had evidently once lieen a line looking1
man; in stature he was something over j
six feet, and his strongly marked features j
, and prominent forehead gave evidence ol |
more than -ordinary intellect. But von j
could clearly discover that he had become j
-a prey to the monster Intemperance?the i
mark of the beast was stamped upon his)
countenance, which gave it a livid and I
unnatural glare. He was placed in tho
with others who had to foe arraingcd I
upon the indictments preferred against I
them. All the others had plead not guilty,
(as is usual,) and a day was set for
their trial. The defendant was loM to
stand up, and the clerk read to him the |
indictment which charged hmi with ha v.!
ing, on the 10th day qf August, parsed to
one Patrick Gneal a counterfeit hili, purporting
to be issued bv the *2d Municipality
of the city of New Orleans, for tho i
sum of three dollars; and upon being!
asked the question, Guilty or not guilo7|
ho replied, "Guilty?guilty!" Then,
turning to the Court, he remarked that,
as this was the Inst tune hoeverexjxicted
to appear in Court, he would he glad il lie 1
could l>e allowed to make a few remarks. J
The Judge told him. to proceed. After a
pause, in which he was evidently endeav.!
?ring ta cahu his feelings, he proceeded '
as follows:
May it please the Court: In the re-!
marks 1 shall make, [ will not attempt to j
extenuate my crime, or ask at your hands I
any sympathy in passing sentence upon!
me. t know that I have violated the
laws of my country, and justly deserve
punishment; nor would I recall the past,1
\>r dwell upon the hitter present, for my
own sake. A wish to do good lor others
is my only motive.
Mlshall, with the indulgence >f I'e
Court, give a brief narrative of my life,
.with a hope that those young men around j
me may take warning by it, and avoid 1
i
the rock upon which I have split. 1 was !
born of respectable parents in the Slate f
of New Jersey, and during inv childhood ;
received every attention that fond parents j
could bestow upon an only son. It was
early discovered that I had a fondness for |
l>ooks; nod my father although in limi-'
ted circumstances, determined to give me i
a liberal education. I was sent to a high '
.school in the neighborhood ; and such 1
was progress, that, at twelve years of
age, inv perceptor declared me qualified ;
for college, and I accordingly entered,
one of the oldest universities of the conn-'
try. Here I so distinguished myself that'
at the age of sixteen, I graduated with
the second honors of the institution, arid
returned home with the brilliant pios-'
V* cts of success that lay lielore inc. I
soon after commenced the studv of law,
*" - I
ami, when only in my twentieth year, 1
obtained license to practice. I
"Acting upon the advice of friends I
determined to try my fortunes in tii??j
West. I accordingly .rranged my affairs
for departure early in the full of;
1S33. I will not detain you with an ac- j
count of my separation from those 1 held
most dear ; suffice to say that I received
tl? i blessings of my parents, and in return
promised faithfully and honestly to avo?d ,
nil had company, as well as their vices. ;
Hud [ kept my promise, I should have
been saved this shame, and been free j
from the load of guilt that hangs around j
me continually, like a fiendish vulture,,
rlirosif>ninix to drag mo to justice lor
crimes as yet unrevealed. But, to return:
I left my early home, where nil had been j
sunshine, and where my pathway had l.
heen strewn with flowers, to try my for- j
line among strangers, and try my j
* strength in huffetingthe storms and tern j
pests of the world.
"With light heart I looked forward to I
the future, and, taking the usual route, I j
soon reached Wheeling, where I took!
passage on a boat for Louisville. On the
h ?at a game of cards was proposed for
amusement, and, although I had promise I;
f iitifully to avoid such things, still I ar-,
gued to myself there was no harm in
playing a game for amusement.
"Accordingly, I joined the party and
we kept up the amusement most of the
way down. After we left Cincinnati it
wan nroocsed to bet a hit a game, merely
" ?~ I 1
as it was saici to make it interesting.? f
My first impression was to leave the table i
but 1 was told it was only a bit, that I
could not lose more than one ?r two dollars.
This argument prevailed ; for I
lacked moral courage to do what was'
I
right. I feared my companions would
say I was stingy of a little money. In. j
fine need by these feelings, I played ; and i
as the fates would have it I won. Before i
we had reached Lauisville we had twice !
doubled the stake, and I found my luck)
enabled me to pay my passage out of mv }
winnings. It was the first time ever I
had bet money, and my success ruined
me. Airain I played, and was again
" " o
successful; and, in short, I continued to)
play for amusement until 1 had acquired
a thirst for gambling. 1 settled in a tiiri. j
ving village in Tennessee, and commenc-!
ed the practice of my profession under
fiuttertjng auspices, and my first appear-1
ancc in a criminal court was highly com- j
pliincrited, and 1 soon la-came Known
throughout the circuit. Things went on
thus tor more than a year, ahd I believed myself
fairly on the road to fame and
fortune. I occasionally played cards,
hut 1 consoled myself with the idea that
[ only played with gentlemen for amusement.
"One night I accompanied some young
men to a gambling shop, and, for the first
time in my life, I saw a faro bank. My
companions commenced betting, and I
was induced to join them. Although I
did not understand the game, again 1
played with success; and, when we left;
the house, was more than two hundred
dollars winner. None of my companions
had been fortunate, and it was insisted j
that I was the lucky man, and that I must j
treat. We accordingly repaired to my
room, where I ordered wine, and before
we broke up we were all deeply intoxicated.
With we it was the first time, and
the next day I resolved that I would never
play cards again. [ adhered to the
determination for nearly three months,
when I again yielded to the entreaties of
my dissipated associates.
"I now played with varied success, and '
in all cases found an excuse for resorting
to the wine hottle. If I lost, I drank to
drown sorrow; if I won, I treated my
good fortune. Tims I progressed upon
my downword course, until drinking and
gambling became my chief employments.
All my friends who were worth preserving j
abandoned me, until my only associates
were drunkards and gamblers; when,
almost reduced to want, (lor I had left oil
business,) I received a letter informing
me of the death of mv father?that father j
who watched over my earlv days, who j
loved me so tenderly. And did I act as
an atrectioriate child? No. Vice had
destroyed the human feeling of my heart,
and left only the animal passions and npj??
titos : as the letter contained a check
lor a part of my poor father's hard
earnings, I drowned my grief that night
" -n-l i>> n f*>\v davs :
Ill OiiCeiiiliuif ia 11 mm ?? ?j
I \v.;s again penny less. I will not dwell
upon tlie e very-day scenes of my Jife,
winch were such as may at all times be
witnessed at any of the two hundred drain
sho ?s of your city, where wretched men
squander the little pittance that justly
belongs to their sutF ring wives and chili
r -ft.
"But to pass on. For nearly three
years I have been a drunken, wandering
outcast. 8ix months ago I received a
letter from my dear mother, enclosing
$100. and informing me that she was fast
sinking with disease, and entreating,
with all a mother's feeling, to come home
and see her before she died. For a time
I felt the appeal, and resolved to comply
with her reijuesf ; and accordingly took
passage on a steamboat for that purpose.
For two days! refrained from liquor, but
my thirst insupportable; at length my
ippmite overpowered my better feelings
ind 1 approached the bar and madly
ought the gambler's table: and before j
lie boat reached Louisville, I was strip- ?
?ed of every cent. Thus all hopes of
- I t
teeing n?y vying mouiei wuituu ..... .
emaincd at Louisville several weeks in
vhich time 1 learned that inv mother had f
hod, and that her last breath was spent
n prayer lor her wretched child. |
"From Louisville I shipped on board
he steamer razil as a deck hand, and
ame to this place where 1 was discharged
for drunkenness. Let every young
nan reflect upon this picture. I, who I
lad moved in the first circles of society?
lad been the guest of distinguished pub
ic me-', and a favorite among the litera- |
i of our co miry, was now 'turned ofT as
infit for a deck hand on a steamboat.! yet '
nteinpera ice had done this much.
"I loiterec, aiiout this city for several
vecks, an I wasf sometimes engaged in j
lusting up the hooks of some dram shop, i
- ? ^ I
'or winch I was paid in the liquid u:e, i
opt lor the accommodation of customers.
)ne evening I fell in company with a
nan who has lately been lodged in jail
or passing counterfeit money. Wc playul
cards, and I won from him -the three i
Jollar lull in question. The next day I
earned that it was oountcrfeit, and did
mt oiler to pass it for several clays. I?ut
it last I got out of ail employment. I had
in other money, I could meet no one I
,vho would ask me to drink. My appeite
was like a raging fire within me. I
O o
ould not endure it. I sought a dram (
iliep, offered the hill, it was accepted, and i
vhen found, a few hours after, by the i
dhecrs of justice, I was beastly drunk.
"The evidence of guilt was conclusive;
ind before my brain was clear of the inoxicating
fumes, I was lodged in jail to |
iwait to niv tri.d. I am now clone. I ' |
iave not detained the Court with any I
mpe or wish that clemency would he ox- 1
ended in my case, i>nt with a hope
hat my example may be a warning to
>thcr young men?that those who hear
nc may, when asked to play a social game
tf cards of drink a social glass, think of i
ny fate and retrain. They may feel |
hemselves secure, they may believe
hoy can stop when they please, hut let
hem remember that I argued thus until f
>vas lost."
ii..m ti,n -nilnnt sunk down and
ippeared to l>e very much aUcctecl; and
for a few moments silence reigned i
through the Court-house. At length the t
fudge, who is much distinguished for the
rjualities cf his heart us he is for learning
as a Judge, proceeded in a brief, but a p. 1
propriato manner, to pass sentence upon
ihe defendant, putting his punishment in '
the Penitentiary down to the shortest 1
time allowed by the law.
