through the district and supreme courts an order for a new trial i was obtained aud the trial lias just clos k 1 be main points in the evidence on which he was convicted were the appa rent correspondence of the shot in the body of the dead man with that iu the shot bag belonging to harrington ; the correspondence of pieces of a newspaper found near the scene of the supposed mur der and assumed to be part of the gun wadding with a torn paper in harring ton's residence and a piece in his vest poeket ; and that the motive for the mur der was to be found in the alleged fact ol sharp having come to toledo with several hundred dollars of money which harrington knew and that no one else was so intimate with sha.ip on the second trial it was rendered doubtful whelher there was a similarity in the shot it was clearly proven that the pieces oi paper alleged to have heen picked nj at the scene ofthe minder were not there at the time of the finding of the body nor for a day or

uniform good character the public sentiment | unanimously coincided with this verdict i the former < mployer of harrington im mediately took him bad into his service it causes an unpleasant shudder to
