CitAniom : , N. 0. , February 17. Of
nil the remarkable trials which have taken
place in the courts of North Carolina
none have over surpassed that of Thomas
L. Shields , who has once stood under the
shadow of tbo gallow ? , and now goes to
the penltontoary for slaying the seducer
of hlsaistor.
In Mocklonburg county no family
stood higher in the social ccalo than that
of Mr. A. 0. Shields. Living In this old
county , which claims to have Issued the
first declaration of Independence , Mr ,
Shields traced his ancestry back to the
heroes of the revolution. Ho had tno
Hona _ and ono daughter. Ilia first son ,
David , had mirrleil Mies Annlo Sitton , a
young girl of vivacious manners , queenly
step and voluptuous form. The second
eon , Thomas L , was engaged some dla
tnnco from the parental homestead In
country merchandise , owned the house
In which ho lived and was regarded
as a good catch by all tha young
ladies of the county. The daughter ,
Miss Molllp , was just 1C ; tall , litho of
figure , with long raven tresacs falling in
irllrt confusion over her shoulders ; a beau
tiful peach-bloom complexion ; eyes of
eoft blue , atched by wavy laehcs , which
added to the striking beauty of her face ,
Tom was her favorite brother , and when
ho wont to bo master of a bachelor's ' hall
she made protracted visits , and coon
grow to being moro at homo there than
at thn house of her father.
It wna during ono of theno visits that
Miaa Mollie was called upon by the wife
of her brother David , who filled the young
girl's Eonl with a drc.im of possible lovo.
"My brother , Joseph Sitton , " Mrs. An-
nlo Shields said , "is coming to make mo
a visit. Ho is coming hero iu the inter
est of a mining company , and may stay
bero for goad If business prospers. I dose
so hope you will like each other , for it
would bo so ramantio to have our families
bound by this now tie. " And the young
girl , her soul full of love , looked dreamily
Into the future , and treasured up the romance
which her sister-in-law had
mance - - so
temptlrjg'y painted for her.
THE THIS ! MEETING.
In a few weeks Mr. Joseph G. Stitton
made hia appearance in the neighborhood
a large man of violent temper , and a
masher of woman's ' heart ] . Ho listened
to the scheme which hia slater had prepared -
pared for hinij but while the sister was
only thinking of love and marriage , the
brother was only thinking of passion aat-
iatod upon a now victim A message
was hurriedly sant for Miss Mollie to
como over. She ran joyously into the
room , not knowing of the arrival of the
etranger , when , suddenly , with a s'ight
scream , and looking up from her dark
lashes , she behold :
"My brother , Mr. Joseph G. Stitton. "
"My husband's alstcr , Miss Mollie
Shields. "
For an hour and a half this simple
country maiden sat enchanted under the
spoil of a man of the world who valued
female hearts aa only made tobocrushed.
She listened to hia tales of travel as Doa-
demonla listened to the exploits of the
swarthy Moorand while ho did not oome
up to the poetry of her expectations , yet
she was completely enthralled by his clo-
quonco. When Mr. Stitton left the tremb-
ng maiden at hia brother's door that
ight , he turned away with the air of a
man who had made another conquest ,
while Mlsa Mollie sought her couch in a
vhirl of unreal imagining. At the
> reakfast table next morning , gwith all
.ho . impuleivnoss of young love , she told
icr brother of the stranger's arrival.
"My poor innocent little siatcr , " said
JL'om , "lot mo beg of you to drop this
man from your mind. Bettor tbo hon-
! St love of some 0110 you know , who has
icon railed with you , than all the fiction
vhlch a hardened stranger can spread out
> eforo you. "
When next Miss Mollie saw her eiater-
n.Iaw she told her of the unexpected ob-
taslo to thtir plans. Then It wai that
lira. Shields .became the bearer of moa-
aqas between tbo couple , and arranged
or them secret meetings , sometimes at
icr own house , and sometimes in the
; rove through which they passed to the
ttlo church which they attended. Miaa
Mollie waa ono of the tonchers in the
Sunday school , and this afforded her full
ipportunity to get away fr-ni the watch-
ulnccs of her brother. Slowly Sitton
ound hlmsplf around the girl's
it-art , trping to lead her
nlnd into lllict chnnneU.
Once ho promised to present her with a
catechism , tha roidmg of which would
make her smarter than nil the other gir0. !
She took it homo and into her room , and
upon opening it was shocked to see spread
out before her pictures of things she had
never dreamed of. Hastily placing It at
ho bottom of her trunk , whore it would

THE LAST r-AimXO.
Thus nmtteca passed until June , 1883 ,
vheu Sitton announced that on Thurs
day , tbo 5th of that , month , ho would re
turn to bis homo not to return. Wednes-
lay night was dark and cloudy. Tom
Shields , who slept up stair * , wai annoyed
by the barking of his dog. Thii was BO
unusual that ho wont to tbo window and
vai tnrprhod to see a light streaming
from his sister's window , which was jutt
below. Ho ho-rd voices : ho llntencu :
"Joe , how can , you leave after having
ruined me ? "
"Oh , you are not mined If I marry
you. "
With crazed brain tbo brother took In
tlio situation. Suddenly ho beard the
window raised , a figure leaped out , and
in an instant was loit ia the darkness.
Rushing down stairs , Tom tasked his ala-
tor with what had occurred. In a wild
frenzy of grief she ttfU him all ; how ,

The uown of the tragedy as it waa'.lold
created unbounded excitement. The
youth and beauty cf the unfortunate girl
aroused deep feeling against tbo dead so-
ducor. The complicattd family relation
ship made It didicult to talk of the matter -
tor in their presence , while the universal
voice justified bravo Tom Shields for
avenging the dishonor inflicted upon his
sister by a wroich who sncoringly refused
to make the only reparation in his power.
When the caco was brought to trial ,
however , ii was found t1 ' r ere
were such evidences of .s ? ; o-
meditation on the pm of om
Shields which would make it dif
ficult for htm to escape conviction forde-
libcrata murder. A singular Incident of
tbo trial was the evidence of Mrs Annlo
Shields. She waa the only ono who had
acted as the matchmaker , ' her evidence on
the ono hand would have to blacken the
memory of her brother and to fasten
shame upon the fair fimouf her sister-in-
law , or , on Ilia other baud , It would Bond
her husband's brother to the gallows. In
her face and teiuful 0503 could bo read
the story of ooBlltctiiu ; cmotlonc. She
gave her evidence withwonderful nerve ,
however , and BO framed her answers as to
save the feelings cf her double relation
ship. When Miss Mnlllo Shields waa
placed upon the stand men stood upon
the scats to look over each others' shoul
ders , eo anxious wera they to catch a
glimplo of her faco. She would not remove -
move her veil , however , and when she
told the story of her final deflowormont
there was not a man in the honso who
would not have alaln Sitton if , by some
chance , ho should have walked into the
room.
The jury retired with the case , and ,
after consultation , brought in a verdict of
guilty. At first it was felt that this could
not he so , but when the judge called the
prisoner up and sentenced him to death
on the gallows , it become evident
that while the law might bo enforced -
forced , the ro would bo a miscarriage of
justice. The proper stops wore at once

Now that thd story of the killing is

It was a elngalnr , and , in some respects ,
a contradictory feature of the llfo of the
aborigine ] that , with nil their liberty and
freedom to roam the vast wilderness of a
boundless country.thoy voluntarily adopt
ed many domestic regulations , moro rigid
than any In vcguo among the Puritans
who landed on 1'lymouth Keck. Auster

traits of the American Indian , and yet in

young people court aud marry , thfy on1
forced the severest and meat stoical ro
Btraints , The knotted lash which the
monk frequently had laid upon his ban
back and limbs to gtvo hia thoughta amore
moro licavouly boot , waa no greater in
dulgence in asceticism than the forced
suppression of a young girl's fofliugj
which the Indiana required. In matters
relating to courtnhlp and marriage the
higher tribes of the aborigines wore glng-
ularly oovero and forui.il. The narration
by Sarah Winnomucca of heir Indian
maidoua were wood aod won in the Pluto
nation shows the atrlc'ness of that people
in I'gurd to the mingling of the aoxes
The old chief's daughter gave the fol
lowing account of a Piuto courtship to a
Cell reporter a few days ago :
AN INBIAN GIRL'S DK11UT.
"Whan a girl roachaa womanhood and
her family doalro to indicate to the trlbo
that their daughter hai reached the mar
riageable period oho makes her debut ,
as you say in English , but the Piuto girl
comen cut in nn entirely different way
than that adopted by her while cistor.
Suat before sbo reaches womanhood , her
grandmother has especial charge of her.
To that old lady , whotejoan are sup
posed to have brought wisdom , the girl ia
givon. She schools her in domestic
duties and explains to her the nature and
Importance of the wifely rolntbn. The
girl then goes with two older female re
latives to a teepee , which ia a small wig
wam , where she remains with them
twenty-five days. During tbia time
she performs work which is
supposed to bo atrangthenlrjg.
It consists chiefly of piling wood.
Three times a day , at morning , noon and
night , she stacks iivo piloj of wocd , mak
ing fifteen eah day. Every five days
her relations take her to the rlvor to
bathe , and at the end of the tlmo she
gives her clothing toher attendants and
returns to the family lodge. Very fre
quently the wardrobe which bho presents
her female attondanta la quito extant ivo ,
and is regarded by them as a valuable
present. When the young girl has epent
twenty-five days in the tccpco cho has
made her debut into the society of her
tribe , and that ia considered as a public
announcement that she is ready to marry.
INDIAN BEAUTIES IN DEMAND.
"Of coureo , a pretty , sWapely girl is in
great demand , just as a belle is in your
society. A girl with a handsome face ,
and fine black eyes and flowing hair aa
black and glossy as a raven's wing , and a
willowy , graceful form , ia the
object of a great deal of at'en- '
titn from the young men of the tribe ,
and often cf the older men , too. A
lovely Indian girl ia aa much Bought after
in her circle aa a great beauty ia In Lon
don drawing room. Bat oh , how different
the two kinds of courtship are. Wo
have no parties in tno wigwams to which
young folks go and got acquainted and
court. The young men ana girls have
no theatre to attend and no long walks
homo after the plsy la over. They never
go riding together , nor strolling through
the woods along the river bank. They
never idle fogethor in the canoa on the
water , plucking lilies and flowers. Al-
bbongh they seem * o enjoy much greater
liberty to roam and wander , whitherso
ever tbolr fancy may lead them , yet
they are kept as close aa prisoners. Pluto
courtship lacks freedom , and yet it is not
devoid of that Intense uxcitomentthat at-
lends love making the world over.
A LOVEIl's ATTENTION.
"You miy 6iiPPOEO that the girls and
young men would sUal out of their lodges
of moonlight nights and have clandestine
meetings and woo In thtt way , but they
never dare to do it. Indeed they never
speak together. A word never paises between -
tween them. But ttlll a girls very soon

lie rides by her at a furious speed and
returns oguin and again. In this way ho
attracts her attention end infonna her ,
although ho docs not speak a word , that
lie lovea her and would ilko to marry her.
But this does not camprlao all of his
courtship. At niaht , when Iho Indians
have retired to their wigwams and are
sleeping , the young man rlsra from his
bed ot leaves and skins and goes to the
lodge occupied by Iho girl ho loves lie
entera tilently aud nits clown beside her
conch. A lodge ia clrcuhr In shape , and
at night when the inimtes go to bed ,
they heap brushwood and legs on the fire
in the centre cf the tant end then lie
down with their feet toward the fire and
heir heads toward the ontjido or circum-
'erenco of the wigwam , The Icdians
iloop on loaves and robes and IT a covered
when sleeping with eklns. As the young
nan enters the lodge h can see by the
irolight where the young girl ia sleeping
and he gees directly to her side , ofipti
stepping over other fleepers , acd ert
down by her bed. It is customary for
the young girl to sleep near her grand
mother , who Is expected to rent 1'gttly '
after the girl haa ruado har debut. An
socn as she sees the youngman eater sbo
wakens the girl , who rises and goes to
where her mothar ia sleeping t nd Pos
