CAREY’S FATE.

Further Particulars of the Killing of the Informer. A newspaper printed at Capetown, South Africa, gives some interesting details of tB» outward voyage of Carey in the Kinfauns Castle: “A fellow-passenger named Williams, and one of the stewards of the ship, teem both to have been struck with the re-em-blance of the man to the j ictures of Carey which they had seen in the illustrated papers, and the fact that his family was of the same number as Carey s, and that the eldest boy answered to the de crintion given of him at the time when he appeared as a witness in the Lublin trials, tended to confirm their suspicions Between Madeira and this port the steward and Williams made it their especial business to find out conclusively whether the man was the notorious character they believed him to be. had plenty of opportunities for doing this, as Carey and his wife freely indulged in liquor throughout the voyage, and the s cret was wormed out of the children without much difficulty, so that a few days before the arrival of the Kinfauns Castle in Table Bay all doubts were removed as to Mr. Power's identity. He had an unlimited supply of ready cash, and both his wife and children were treated to anything they might desire. He said he wa< a builder by trade, and was going to settle in Natal. One of the persons who was taken into the secret was O Donnell. When told that Power was none o:her than Carey, he dec3a - e.l that if he were but satisfied of the mania identitv, he would ‘d—d soon let daylight into his vile carcass,’ and the ship seems to have arrived here before his doubts on this point had been removed. While the Kinfauns Castle was in the dock, Carey came ashore with his two eldest boys, and while in town fell in with Williams and another man who came out in the ship, known as ‘Scottv.’ Among o her places ihey visited was the City Hotel in Wa erkant street, and while there an altercation arose among them on political questions. Carey said the English were a people too base to live. If he had his way, he said, he would exterminate every one of them. ‘lreland for the Jr sh! that’s" my mot’o,’ he said. ‘And what would they do with it'/’ retorted Scottv. ‘1 hey would eat one another up.’ ‘Do you mean to say that they are cannibals'?’ foaied Carey, and his h::-nd was on the throat of Scotty, whom he would have choked but for the intervention of Wiliam 0 . Saturday morning, when the Argu* appeared, it was known all over town that Car.-y had been* recognized, and the news soon spread over the ship. Williams was ash re about 10 o'clock nnd procured a paver. When he got back to the ship Power a«ked him if he oould let him see a copy of the ArquK. Williams said he could, and watched him while he read it He looked hutr edlv through the paper until he came to what he required, read that,and then sat for some minutes with his hand covering his face. He asked permission to take the paper to his wife, who was in the cabin, as there was something in it which he wi bed her to see. He returned it a few minutes afterward, paving that ft was to dark in tne cabin that he could not see to read. He subfeoue itly a ked for the loan of the paper a secund time, and is said to have worn a very terrified a pearanoe from the moment he k iew that his identitv was established. From what transpired in Cape Town O’Donnell seems to have been satisfied as to his man, and. in taking leave of Williams, who assured him that there could be no doubt bn the matter, he again vowed that he would ‘let dayligi.t ftito the scoundrel before they got to the next port’ ”

Upon the announcement of the verdict quite a decided demonstration of applause camo from certain quarters of the court-room. The court, however, quickly frowned it down, and singling out a young man who had made a movement to throw up his hat called him to 'the bar and administered a severe reprimand. The youth proved to be Luther James, of Kansas City, cousin of the defendant The question of the disposition of the remaining indictments, complicity in the killing of Westfall at Winston, and the robbery and murder of Sheets at the Gallatin bank robbery in 1868, come up. and after.consideration the case was continued until the October term, and the prisoner was remanded to await further trial. It is announced that he will not attempt to give ball, but will remain in jail tiH next term. The prisoner received the verdict with perfect composure, as did also his wife, but Mrs. Samuels was much affected. In order to guard against any disturbance which might follow, the single saloon of the place was closed. It can truthfully te said that .the verdict was a genuine surprise to the community, and much indignation la expressed. A member of the jury stated that the first ballot stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction, and that one, after hearing aja explanation of the others' views, voted to acquit A conversation with the foreman of the jury corroborated the statement of this juryman ’As indicating public sentiment a subscription paper was circulated and signed by over 100 citizens. Including the foremost men and most of the business men of the place, for the purpose of presenting to Prosecutor Wallace, of Kansas City, a testimonial of their indorsement of his conduct of the case and appreciation of his efforts in behalf of the State Public Feeling in Missouri. A dispatch from Kansas City siys, the topic of conversation there is Frank James’ acquittal “There are many who say they expected lt.but the majority sav they looked for a disagreement of the jury. Public sentiment can be quoted as strongly in condemnation of the verdict, although there are those who argue from a strict legal standpoint that the jury was justifiable in acquitting, the State’s evidence being made up of Liddell's testimony supported only by circumstantial evidence. The general feeling howevef, is one of disappointmentana chagrin that the strong chain of evidence woven by the State failed te stand. Expressions of sympathy with the prisoner or satisfaction over the acquittal are confined to a few who are and have been James’ friends, and can be taken in no way whatever as an indication of the actiial public sentiment here. A frequent expression is, ‘the verdict is an outrage and an unjuststigma upon the State.’ Charges of juryfixing also are bandied about ” An Independence dispatch says: “There are a few of the people, friends of Frank here, who of couAe are jubilant, but the majority of the people here are very indignant and pronounce the verdict an outrage on justice.” What the Governor of Missouri Says. » Gov. Crittenden was naked by a reporter at Jefferson City if he had anything to say regarding the acquittal of the noted bandit He replied that he had not “It is the verdict of a jury,” he said, “it would be improper for ine to comment on it ” “What do you think of the manner inwhich the case has been prosecuted. ” , “It has been prosecuted with great ability by Mr. Wallace, whom I regard as one of the best Prosecuting Attorneys in the State. ” “You think, then, that an honest effort has been made to convict Frank James*” “I certainly do. The case has been well managed ana pushed with great energy.” “You think the case has been ably defended, do you not?” “Indeed it haa It has been both prosecuted and defended with great ability. Perhaps no criminal case in the history of the State has had engaged upon it more legal ability. It is not only one of the most remarkable criminal cases in the State s history, but will take its place as one of the leading criminal cases of the country. ” “What effect does this acquittal have upon Frank James in regard to a requisition from Minnesota* There are other indictments against him, axe there not*” ' “Yes, I believe so. There is one for the murder of Westphall and for the Blue Cut robbery; and, I think, but I am not ceitain of it, one for the murder of Sheets.” “He would still be regarded as in the custody of the State, so far as requisitions from other States axe concerned?" “Yes; but I cannot say what course will be pursued toward him in the ceunties where the indictments were found.” • St. Ixhilb Preus Comment. [The Republican.] The trial of Frank James, the noted trainrobber and desperado, resulted, contrary to general expectations, in a verdict of acquittal The explanation doubtless is that the defense managed to impress the minds of the jury with a doubt as to the actual presence of the prisoner at the time < f the commission of the particular crime for which he was arraigned. Whatever difference there may be as to whether the case of the State was fully made out according to the strict requirements of the cr.minal law, with its presumption of innocence, acquittal carries with it no vindication of the desperate and infamous character of the accused, which was shown or admitted at almost every stage of the trial [The Globe-Democrat.] The public were rto more prepared for a verdict of acquittal in Frank James’ triaj than they were in the star-route case A disagreement was thought probable by those acquainted with the section from which the jury were secured, but thas twelve men, even in that locality,would be a unit against conviction in the face of the evidence produced, was a possibi ity which was seriouslyentertained b v very few. The outcome is a misfortune to the Commonwealth of Missouri It cannot do otherwise than create an unfavorable impression abroad. It is a practical revelation that there exists a public sentiment in a not inconsiderable portion of the State which regards with complacency such a career as that of Frank James and in some incomprehensible manner connect it with the cause of the South in the War of the Rebellion. One of the telling points of the’defense was the attempt to estaßlish this very connection. The conduct of Cen Shelby in emotionally ex pre sing an affection for the accused was a representation of the feelings of many beside himself. The saying that coiae< most readily to the lips in this connection is, “Poor old Missouri" The accused, however, has adfficult road yet to travel before he is either a free or a convicted man. D spatches from GaHatin say the general feeling is one of great disappointment
