'TrUTII STRONGER Tin* FICTION*.
The follower! report for the St. Louis
Cresfieaf, of a case in the criminal court
in that city will be read with painful interest.
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. lie
had evidently once l>een a line looking
man; in stature he was something over
six feet, and his strongly marked features
, and prominent forehead gave evidence ol
more than ordinary intellect. Hut you
could clearly discover that he had become
a prey to the monster Intemperance?the
murk of the beast was stamped upon his
countenance, which gave it a livid and
unnatural glare. He was placed in tho
1>ok, with others who had to lie arrainged
upon the indictments preferred against
them. All the others had plead not guilty,
(as is usual,) and a day was set for
their trial. The defendant was told to
stand up, and the clerk read to him the
indictment whicli charged him with hav.

one Patrick Gnea! a counterfeit bill, pur.
porting to be issued bv the 2d Municipality
of the city of New Orleans, fur the
gum of three dollars; and upon being
asked the question, Guilty or not guilty?
replied, "Guilty?guilty!" Then,
turning to the Court, he remarked that,
as this was the Inst tune ho ever exacted
to appear in Court, he would he glad if he
could Ihj allowed to make a few remarks.
The Judge told him to proceed. Altera
pause, in which he was evidently endeavoring
la calm his feelings, lie proceeded
as follows:
"May it please the Court: In the remarks
I shall make, I will not attempt to
extenuate my crime, or ask at your hands
any sympathy in passing sentence upon
me. I know that I have violated the
daws of my country, and justly deserve
punishment; nor would I recall the past,
\>r dwell upon the hitter present, for my
own sake. A wish to do good tor others
is my only motive.
"I shall, with the indulgence if t'e
f'ourt, give a brief narrative of mv life,
.with a hope that those young men around
?we may take warning by it, and avoid
the rock upon which I have split. I was
burn of respectable parents in the .Slate
of New Jersey, and during my childhood
received every attention that fond parents
could bestow upon an only son. It was
early discovered that I had a fondness for
W>ks; nod my father although in limited
circumstances, determined to give me
a liberal education. I was sent to a high
..school in the neighborhood ; and such
was progress, that, at twelve years of
age, inv perceptor declared me qualitied
for college, and I accordingly entered
one of the oldest universities of the conn,
try. Here I so distinguished myself that1
at the age of sixteen, I graduated with
the second honors of the institution, and
returned home with the brilliant pi as. '
poets of success that lay lie fore me. |
-soon after commenced the study of law,
and, when only in my twentieth year, I
obtained license to practice. i
"Acting upon the advice of friends [
determined to try my fortunes in tin*I
West. I accordingly ?rranged iny af-,
fairs for departure early in the fall of
1S33. I will not detain you with an ac-!
count of my separation from those 1 held
most dear; suffice to say that I received J
th blessings of my parents, and m return
promised faithfully and honestly io avoid
all Itad company, a* well as their vices.
Had [ kept mv promise, I should have
been saved this shame, and been free
from the load of guilt that hangs around j
me continually, like a fiendish vulture,
threatening to drag mo to justice lor!
crimes as yet unrevealed. But, to return:
I left my early home, where all hud been j
sunshine, and where my pathway had ;
Iwen strewn with (lowers, to try my for-1
fune among strangers, and try my ;
* strength in buffeting the storms and tetn
O O
pests of the world.
"With bght heart I looked forward to I
the future, and, taking the usual route, f j
soon reached Wheeling, where I took!
passage on a boat for Louisville. On the
b ?at a game of cards was proposi ti for
?/>/?/>?*. nnd. although I had prom se I;
U'?HOV'?r? r.v, ? w ^
f illifviily 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 thej
way down. After we left Cincinnati! it j
was proposed to bet a bit a game, merely j
as it was said to make it interesting.?
My first impression was to leave the tahle
but i was told it was only a bit, that I
could not lose more than one wr two dollars.
This argument prevailed ; for I
lacked moral courage to do what was
right. I feared my companions would I
say I was stingy of a little money. In. j
line need by these feelings. I played ; and i
as the fates would have it I won. IJefore i
we had reached Lauisville we had twice )
doubled the stake, and I found my luck j
enabled me to pay my passage out of mvj
winnings. It was the first time ever I
had bet money, and my success ruined
nie. Again I played, and was again
successful; and, in short, I continued to
. i ,
play for amusement until I Mad acijuiren
a thirst for gambling. 1 settled in a tJu i.
ving village in Tennessee, and commenced
the practice of my profession under
flatterting auspices, and mv first appearance
in a criminal court was highly compliinented,
and 1 soon hccaitic known
p - .
throughout the circuit. Things went on
'thus for more than a year,afcd I believed 4
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.
j
"One night I accompanied some young
j men to a gambling shop, and, for the first j
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 I ,
j played with success ; and, when we left j I
| the house, was more than two hundred 1
! 'ollars winner. None of my companions ,
| had l>een fortunate, and it was insisted I
j that I was the lucky man, and that I must
l treat. We accordingly repaired to my
j room, where I ordered wine, and before
| we broke up we were all deeply intoxicaj
ted. With we it was the first time, and
j the next day [ resolved that I would nevj
er play cards again. [ adhered to the ,
determination for nearly three mA'ths,
J when I again yielded to the entreaties of j'
my dissipated associates. ,
"I now played with varied success, and 11
! in all cases found an excuse for resorting
! to the wine bottle. If I lost, I drank to
i 1
j drown sorrow; if I won, I treated my
t good fortune. Thus I progressed upon
my downword course, until drinking and
gambling became my chief employments. 1
J All my friends who were worth preserving j1
; abandoned me, until my only associates
: were drunkards and gamblers; when,
I '
j almost reduced to want, (lor I had left off
business,) I received a letter informing
| me of the death of my father?that father
j who watched over my earlv days, who
loved me so tenderly. And did I act as
tan affectionate child? No. Vice had
j destroyed the human feeling of my heart,
j and left only the animal passions and np.
I ju tites : as the letter contained a check
for $>.">00, a part of my poor father's hard
I earnings, I drowned my grief that right
j tn Bacchanalian revel, and in a few days ;,
I w>;s again penny less. I will not dwell
upon the everv-day scenes of my life,
which were such as may at all times be ,
witnessed at any of the two hundred dram i
sho ?s of your city, where wretched imcji
squander the little pittance that justly ,
belongs to their suir ring wives and chil- j
< r n.
"B it to pass on. For nearly three
years I have been a drunken, wandering
outcast. Six months ago I received a
letter from iny 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 site died. For a time
I feit the appeal, and resolved to comply
w?th her request; and accordingly took
passage on a steamboat for that purpose.
For two days I refrained from liquor, but
my thirst insupportable; at length my
appetite overpowered my better feelings
and 1 approached the bar and madly
sought the gambler's table: and before j
the boat reached Louisville, I was strip- s
ped of every cent. Thus all hopes of
seeing my dying mother were cut off. I 11
remained at Louisville several weeks* in
which time 1 learned that iny mother had ?
Unwl. and #liiir her hist breath was spent
in prayer lor her wretched child. 'j
"From Louisville I shipped on hoard
the steamer razil as a deck hand, and
eamotothis place where I was discharged
for drunkenness. Lot every young
man relied upon this picture. I, who r
iiad moved in the first circles of society?
had heon the guest of distinguished pub (j
lie me , and a favorite among the litera- |
ti of our co i nt ry? was now'turned oil' as
until for a deck hand on a steamboat.! yet r
intemperance had done tin's much.
"I loitena. about this city for several weeks,
and was" sometimes engaged in j
posting up the hooks of some dram shop, j
for which I was paid in the liquid fire, i
kopt for the accommodation ofcustomers.
One evening 1 fell in company with a
man who has lately been lodged in jail
for passing counterfeit money. We played
cards, and I won from him -the three /
dollar lull in question. The next (lay I
learned thai it was oounterfeit, and did
not offer to pass it for several days. l?ut
at last [ got out of all employment. I had /
no other money, I could incct no one b
who would ask rue to drink. My appetite
was like a raging fire within me. I
O O
could not endure it. I sought a dram |
shep, offered the hill, it was accepted, and \
when found, a few hours after, by the fc
officers of justice, I was beastly drunk.
' The evidence of guilt was conclusive;
and before my brain was clear of t ie intoxicating
fumes, I was lodged in jail to J j
await to inv trial. I am now done. I ! |,
have not detained the Court with any j li
hope or wish that clemency would >?. ex- f
tended in my case. But with a lioj?o 1
that my example may ho a warning to
other young men?that those who hear _
me may, when asked to play a social gami
of cards or drink a social glass, think of i
my late and retrain. They may led | j
themselves secure, they may helieve
thoy can stop when they please, hut let %
them remember that I argued thus until I
was lost."
Here the defendant sunk down and
appeared to lie very much affected ; and
lor a few moments silence reigned j
through the Court-house. At length the s
Judge, u ho is much distinguished for the
<|ii iliiifs of his heart us he is for learning
as a Judge, proceeded in a brief, but a p. 1
pronriale manner, to pass sentence upon
I the defendant, putting his punishment in I
i the Penitentiary down to the eborles.t '
time allowed by the law.
