TUE SHERIFF'S STORY, In the apturnn of '42, on ray way home from. the West, I found mysel.' obliged to put upior the night at the ipn of a small seltlemeot on the Wabash. The day had been dark asd lowry, and the evening set in with a driyins 6torm. Afir supper, a goodly company assem bled in the bar-room, and siory-teling became the order of the occasion. Aruog our number va3 a gray-hared man, whOi?e name, I learned, was Warren Alton. He was p ast three score, but his gestures and vigor betokened all the vigor of mid dle age. Al number of stories had been told, and finally all eyes were directed towards Alton. Some had called his name and hinted that his time had coma. . "Gentlemen," he said, "If you choose to listen, I can give you a short story touching a certain criminal that 1 once had the pleasure of arresting." Of couoe we all would listen. "Tw; my years ago, or thereabouts." Comnit-iiccd Mr. Alton, "I was Sheriff of JtlTerton county.; Close by a sharp bend of the Bottom Branch Creek was located quite a settlement, called Jack son ; and nine miles distant in a southly direction was the town of Huntsville. The creek, after bending around Jack son settlement, took a sweep to the West and then turned back, crosstd the track about midway between these two places. Seven miles were through a low, dismal swamp, where the road for a long dis tance, was a corduroy of oak logs. On this dark'and sunken road, travelers had been murdered and rAbbed. Two years before I come in office, as many as six niPTi had b?en found by the wayside in thai s-.YP.n;p. After I became Sheriff, the trr -v is renewed, and I went down tu Hi.r.taviile to look into the matter. i fuund one of my deputies there a fair, honorable man, named WaUon. He tcld me every exertion had been made. to apprehend the perpetrators of the murder, but without effect. .Ia fact the officers had not yet been, able to fix suspicion. . I reached. Huntsville in the evening, and on jLhe -following morning 1 rode down with Watsjn upon the corduroy road. ,TL 3 place .was truly dismal and dark enough. The track had been cut through a thick, tangled, matted growth cypress, cotton wood 'and running vines j aod in many places the logs had sunk so far that the mud and water flowed over (heui. And this piece cf swamp by the road, was seven miles in extent. About half through we came to a bridge that crossed the creek not a bridge that such as we usually see, but a sunken mass of timber pinned down by piles and tics, so fliaf t'r trtar-'roii!rI foffipd. It Was near this spot, I was told.that most of the murders had taken place, . On the following morning word was brought that another man had been found dead and robbed in the swamp. Watson and I posted off with many others, and found it to be as had been related. The dead man lay upon the road side, about two rods from the bridge, with his skull broken and his pocl. .t-vmpty. A score cf people Jackson wer already there, and I soon learned that the murdered man had stopped at the latter place on the evening before. I whispered to WatsoD that I must not be known, and bade him nr. recognize me any more in public. After this I mingled with the people of Jackson, and gathered what informat ion I could, and at length the following facts appeared : The murdered man was not known in section. He had ar rived at Jackson on the evening before, on horseback, and put up at 6at place. He had started on his way very early in the morrJcg, and was next bay found dead by a boy who had come down to the creek to look to tforae trap which he had set the previous day. The man who had kept the inn at Jackson was present and had been help ing to indentify the dead body. His name was Laman Stoker, and the mo ment I rested my eyes upon him, disliked him. He was a short, souare built man. with tremendous breadth of shoulders, a small bullet-shaped head, with promiaent cheek bones, and small, thin ears, buton cd back Hat upon his skull. ' I was close by him, engaged in studying his physi ognomy, when an old gentleman, who hzd come down cn horseback, approach ed and spoke o him 1 ''I say Stoker, what time did this man leave your inn thi3 morning V the gen tleman asked. "As soon as it was. daylight," replied Stoker. 4I told him he had better wait for j company, but he was in a hurry." 'I wonder if he had much money about hir.tr j: ; - - At. this query, Stoker betrayed me a suspicions sign, for I was watching him very closed- He tried to look surprised that such a question should be put to him. . "How Io you. suppose I know?" was ihe reply. "Fie may ave i had a thou SiiLd dollars, and he xnayn,t have had a. dol'Js'Tt I cant tell." "Ka white's his horse I" asked the old ma,n. "His iaArse was found in n.y yard by my hostler, jul after breakfast." "Was thexe any blood on him V "I guess ast." At this point Soker turned away, and I went to looic at tie dead inan. The corpse had bb n brought up from the wayside upon the corduroy, it struck me that very little blood' had been there. You may call it rhaoce' or you may admit that my perception was keener than that of most men, but, af all eents, my mind begun to lake a tuD n rection not yet explored by the officers who had preceded me in the ev?rc first I suspected that the man, 0 r.en, who had committed the crime, resided in Jackion or Huntsville, .1 had drav.vQ enough out ot two old hunters to qon vidce me cf that. Next I suspected that Laman Stoker had some hand in the bloody business. He looked fit for the work; abd within the past few minutes had exhibited signs of guilt, which to me were apparent enough. Loose straws indicate the way of the wind, and the man who seeks to ferret out great things, must not pa?s over little things. Why was there no blood spilled where the dead man was found ? Surely, not because the gates had not been open ed, for his skull had been broker to' a purr.ice, and il was evident enough, to one well versed , in such matters that nearly all the blood in his b ody had tart ouL But where was it? From such a man as that, killed by sofufious a wound, with all the arteries and tains broken, there could not have flowed much less than two gallons of blojd. But where was it? There iiad not been a pint spil led where the body had lain. I looked to see if I could tee blood, anywhere else ; and by and by I had found a clot nearer to the creek. I continued to1 move on, and at the very edge of the stream I found more not much :only i few drops but I knew that it was Hood. And I found ihe prints of feet there deeply sunken in the mud At this point the idea which had be- : fore becu dimly floating in my mind as a possibility, became very near a reality. These prints were at some little distance from the sunken bridge, and the man who had made them had crossed a point of turf in reaching the road. I selected a place where the mud was quite hard, and here ftepped along by the side of the other track. I was a heavy man, and yet the prints were not half so deep as those other prints. What did this signify? It - . . signinea very plainly o me tnattne roan who had made those deeper tracks had borne a very heavy load upon his shoulders. And thus I arrived at the conclusion which explained why the search and investigation of the officers for two ears had proved futile. They had searched to the wrong place. They had taken it for granted that the murders had been committed upon the dark road in the swamp. I was now convinc ed that the dead body I had just left had been borne to its present place of rest from the shore of the creek. And what was here beyond that? How come it upon the shore of the creek ? We shall see. I left the proper efficer to take charge of the corpse and having told Mr. Wat son to meet me in Jackson on the follow ing morning , I started for the latter place and put up my horse at the stable of the inn the inn kept by Laman Stoker.' I found the hostler ; and shuddered when I looked at him not because he was a ugly-looking man : but because he looked to me exactly fit to help his master do bloody work. He wsa a thin, pale, cold blooded fellow, with a low receding brow, sharp, cold, a small triangular nose, and a thich upper lip. If he had been a large man those characteristic features would have been more prominent, and people rnigt have feared him ; but as il was, he had passed far a weakly, ua healthy man, and nobody had thought of his doing harm. The landlord had not yet returned, and while the hostler his nume was John Boone, .was removing my saddle Jfbm my beast, I spoke of the murder in the swamp! The fellow had heard all about it, but had not been down to see the body. His master bad gone, and he had remained behind. He spoke freely and unconcernedly in fact, too much so. It would have been natural in him to have exhibited some little feeling; but the. fact that he did not do so, led me to conclude that he had schooled himself to act his part. After I had seen my horse taken care of, I walked out behind the inn, upon the brow of a point of table land, and a short distance below I saw the bend of the creek. Toward the creek, T made my way ahd when within a few rods of the water. I stopped. I saw something on the grass a dark, red clot, hanging up on a stout blade, and bending it down. I stooped, took it in my fingers, and found it to be blood ! I pushed on to the shore of the stream but there were no fresh foot-prints there. I went back a little way, and found that the trail turned to the left, and led to a point of the swamp which made up behind the bluff upon which the village slbdd. I made my way into the thicket of viries and cottonwood, and presently I found a boat drawn up upon the shore of the creek. It was of a kind called a "dug-out," and was wet outside and in.asHhough it had been lately wash ed down; PtJihapJs you can imagine that I was kejntjing to be excited in my search. : The ,boat had been washed down and rinsed ; b'U the fatal mark had not been obliterated- The water that gathered . a a a' in the bottomr standing m little pools, had a crimsor; t5nge, end there were one or two dark spots which had not been washed off. So far as my owl1 mind tvas concerned, I had nor doubt. Sint? I first entertain ed an opinion of the criminality 6f Stoker, every thing hai turned ot jusf zs I hid looked for it ; and, when 1 hzd Uti the boat, had come to the conclusion' to make m mxt movement in my official capac ity. When I had reached the inn, Stoker had returned, and dinoer was almost ready. Tbe host eyed rae sharply, but I "kept my countenance. It did we good to have" him eye me in that fashion, for I knew that he feared, rao. Did I cct know very well ? In short every : event from that time forth, gave weight to the , testimony I had already collected. j After dinner Stcker asked how long I intended to stop with him. I had intend ed to stop over night, arsd meef Watscn in the morning ; but my plan wis chang ed. The wretch showed me more plain ly than before that he nmtrusted me, and I feared that something might turn, up to injure my cause if I delayed Coo long. So I told him I was noTgcing to stop at all I had a long road to travel, and I was ia a hurry. Whether he was pleased with this or not, I could net deter raine. 1 paid for dinner for myself acd horse, and got away as quickly as pos sible, and rode post haste to Huntsville. Wataon opened his eyes with astonish ment when I told him what I had dis covered; but he did nnt'oppoit? ir.y be lief. The whole, as I opened it to hira in regular sequence, struck directly' to h:3 understanding; and he only wondered that he had not thought cf something cf that kind before. He was ready to act with me, and our plans were soon hid. He went out and engaged three stout men to accompany us, two of whom were constables, and after tea the whole par ty set forth on our way to Jackson. We reached the inn a little after dark. Watson and one of the constables went to the stable and secured John Boone, while I went into the hocse and arrested Lercan Stoker. The latter, as I intimat ed, was a powerful fellow, and came am very near giving us trouble ; but a tlow from the butt of one ot my heavy pistols rednced hi3 strength somewhat, and af ter that he was easily secured. Then we commenced to search - the house. We hunted high and low, ur.d we had plenty .of interested people to help us. Partition walta were torn down, and Moors ripped up. We found the property of the murdered man in a secret locker ; and in a tank of v.w.er, away in one corner of the cellar, ue found a lot cf bloody bedclothes. We had evidence enough ; and the prisoners were carried to the county jail that very night. On ths next day John Boone was dyi ing. He had been sick with consump- lion for a long time, and during his strug gle with Watson on the night before, his strength had completely failed him. When he knet he could not live, he declared that he would, make a clean breast of it. I am inclined to think, how ever, that he hoped his confession might benefit him in case he should by any pos sible means recover. " .This confession was just what I had expected He and Laman Stoker' had committed the murders Had done the killing in the house, and then conveyed the bodies, by way of the. creek, to the road in ihe swamp, and where the mur dered men had horses they hid been ta ken out of the stable by a back'way, sad dled, and turned loose in the roadr The whole plan had been adroitly contrived, and, for too long had been successfully executed. John Bjone died within' three' hours after his confession haa bcecmade ; but Laman Stoker lived until his breath was stopped by the rope of the hangman. A correspondent at Nashville writes that on one of the prettiest and pleasant est mornings of May, near the close of that delightful month of balmy airs and fragrant flowers, the train for Louisville was freighted with an unusual number of elegant women, and gay, 'nicely dres sed men. As usual, among the latter waa a large proportion of Uncle Sam's pet3 with shoulder-straps .There wa3 no longer any 8pprehensior'c guerril las or any other marauder' cn'the road, jrnd after getting fairly" unler way, the passeDgers, catching the spirit cf the lovely morn, addressed themselves to the task of making time pass off pleasantly. It wa3 not long ere all' who were so dis posed were enjoying themselves in'some way. On one of the seats in the ladies' car was a married lady with a. little daughter ; opposite, facing thciu : wa3 another child, a son, and a colored "lady" we behere t are all "ladies" now' The mother of these with the baby children' was a beautiful matron' with ?parkliug 6ye3, in xul-erant health and vivacious sp'rits. Behind her sat a young lieutenant, dr'tlsscd to kill, and seeking a victim. He scraped up an acquaintance with the mother by attention to the child rerf. It was cot Ichg before he' was es saying to make himself very agreeable to her, 2nd by the time' tnd sua begW to" decline, one Wd'ald have' .thought ' they were old familiar friends.' The' Lieuten arnt felt that he' had5 made an impression hfs elation nranifested it. The lady, dream ing of no trrcng', sthpectiug co evil, was ftppafently pleased with' her casual acquaintance By'-and-by the train ap proached the tuiinelat Muldrough' Hill. The gay and festive" Lieutenant leaned over and whispered something in the la dy's ear. It was noticed that she appear ed thunder-struck, and her eyes immedi ately after flamed with indignation. j A moment more, and a smile lighted up her features. Whit a change! Thatsild' it was not cf pleasure, but was siai&ter. It was uneprceivei by t! Lie-iecant. She made hira a reply which rejoiced1 him apparently verymuoh. Fcr'tha ua derstanding properly cf this nirratirj, this "oer true tale," we must tell tha reader what we whispered and what re plied. Whispered th Lientenant : "I nuan to kiij yen the ti nnel." 'Sir !' sail'ihe la-y;' Jl Wlik i,C Uulik y liu . ... ii . " Into 'tha' earth'-s boweh into tb-3 tun nel ran the cars. Lady and' cchrsd1 nurse quickly "changed 'seats' Gay Lisa tenant threw hi arms around : the la-y'a-waist- raised'her from h'i!f seat, and fist and furiously imprinted kisses on her l:p. In a few moments' the" t:raia reared ths end of the tunnel and' glided cut iata' broad daylight.' : ' White looked 'amazed :; colored lady bashful, blushing; gay liau" tenant befogged.' : "Jane," said; the whi:a lady, "what have you been doing!' ' "Nothing," responded :tha colored la-' dy ' "Yes, you have !" said the white la Jy, not in an cndeMone, but in a voice that attracted the" attention of all ia the car. "See hoV y'our collar to rumpled, and1 your bonnet 'smashed !" Jane, poor colored beauty, hung Lar" head a moment,' the "observed of all ob servers." and then turning around totha Lieutenant, replied "This f.ian ,ujjg:J and hissed vie in, the tunnel " LciJ and long was the laugh thatTulIowed among-' the passengers. The white lady crj.iyed the joke amazingly. Lieutenant lock-ad like a siiCep stealing doj left me tar and was seen to'6 more during the trip.' Saist's Rest (which is in the stall uv '.' .
