It was i onderful defense he made wonder-'uho- w he fought every inch of ground, .vile a chain of strong circumstantial adence was tightening the halter out his clients neck. Ills of the states witnesses was so xhaustive, his pleadings to the Judge ind to the Jury so earnest as to arouse the sympathy of many in the packed courtroom. It was, as I remember, the first important case with which Col. l'almcr had been connected in Monroe county courts. He had moved to Alabama from Virginia and had been in his new home but a few months before the Hastings murder case became the sensation of the hour. Last week Judge James C. Garrow died In Monroe county, Alabama, and umong his papers was found a statement, in connection with the statement written to be made public after his death. I have read that statement, and it, in conectlon with the trial of Andrew Hastings, makes such a remarkable chapter of court history that I have written It all down here. It was in the days of the noted ku-klklan, that organisation which sprang into life In the south during the memorable days of reconstruction." It is supposed that the organizers of the klan originally intended to control the suddenly freed slaves by appealing to their superstition, for the kuklux gave birth to hobgoblins, ghosts and spooks, and was shrouded in the most profound secrecy and mystery. But the klan soon became chargeable with many inexcusable and outrageous crimes. ' Some time in the spring of 1867 the judiciary began to take active measures for the suppression of violence attributable to the klan, or, rather, to the lawless bands calling themselves kuklux, for the original organization had by that time ceased to exist. On March 14, 1SC7, near the town of Claiborne, Monroe county, Alabama, Amos lUvin3, a camp follower of the union army, who had opened a store in Claiborne, was found dead on the side of the public road. He bad been beaten to death with a club or some other heavy weapon. Another kuklux victim, was the public verdict, and with this the people were disposed to discard the matter from any further consideration, but Judge Garrow was one of the most arncst among officers of the law, who had decided the time had come in the south for the suppression of crime. He instructed the sheriff to make a most thorough investigation, and, if possible, to bring the murderer or murderers to Justice. It did not take long to fix the crime on Andrew Hastings, who clerked for Bivins. The evidence against Hastings, while circumstantial, was very strong. Having been raised In the south, Hastings had na love for his employer, who was regarded as one of the despised class of carpet baggers 'in those days. He finally quarreled with hiB employer when reproved for insulting the union roldiers and negroes who traded at the store. Witnesses testified to this quarrel, which resulted In Hastings being discharged, and there was an abundance of evidence to the fact that as he left the store he was heard to reYankee. mark: Ill fix the d It was only two nights after Hastings' discharge that Bivins was killed. Two witnesses swore that Hastings tried to borrow a shotgun from them on the day prior to the murder. It was also proven that Hastings was heard to say when speaklug of the killing: 'The people ought to give the man who did it a vote of thanks. Added to all this was the fact that Hastings could not account for his whereabouts on the night of the killing between the hours of eight and twelve o'clock. Bivins left hla store :ibout ten o'clock to go to his home, and it was presumed he was killed a few minutes after that hour. When on trial Hastings stated that he had gone 'possum hunting alone, leaving home about eight o'clork and returning about one o'clock the next morning. It was for this purpose he attempted to borrow a gun. lie proved tbat it was his custom to go on these night hunts by himself. With his previous good character, this was all there was for the defense. But Col. Palmer made the most of it and fought the evidence of the prosecution at times with an impassioned manner that almost amounted to a madness. I remember an old lawyer Well, I in the courtroom remarking: never have seen an attorney so thoroughly Identified with bis ellent's Interests before." Col. Palmer's argument to the jury, as I said, was a most masterly effort. His face was pale when hr arose and walked to the Jury box. His voice, although stern and full, trembled ns lie cried out: "Gentlemen of the Jury, God is my witness when I say to you that I hid here to plead for the life of an Innocent man. He made but little effort to contro ' ft wit-nesee- fb any-ihinyt- ut-:e- cross-ques-onl- vert I u&msglng evidence against his client. His address was mainly a passionate appeal for mercy for an innocent man who was the victim of peculiar circumstances, lie ended hla speech by holding the Bible high above his head and saying: Aa true an the lioly Book 1 hold In my hand, so true Is this man Innocent. I say to you, I know it. You may call it intuition if you like, but so sure as you convict him you will have the blood of an iunocent man upon your beads." The verdict was guilty and Hastings was sentenced to be hanged. The case was appealed to the Supreme rourt, and the decision of the lower court was affirmed. An application was mads to the governor for clemency, and a petition bearing the names of many prominent citizens of Monore county was sent to the chief executive. Col. Palmer was leaving no atone unturned to save his client. The strain and hard work waa telling on him. He had grown emaciated, and more than once had been ill from nervous prostration. The governor refused to Interfere, but intimated that he might give the rose a more favorable consideration if the presiding Judge recommended a commutation of the sentence. This was regarded as a forlorn hope, the determination of Judge Garrow to suppress crime being so well known. The day of the execution was near at hand and Monroe county was preparing to witness its first hanging in many years. Then, like a thunder clap came the news that the governor had pardoned Andrew Hastings. Not even a commutation of the sentence to life Imprisonment had been looked for, but here waa anlnbsolute pardon, and the murderer with a shadow of the gallows already over him was a free man. It was some time before the people could be made to believe that the news waa true, and many did not believe It until Hastings was allowed to walk from the prison unshackled. The only reason the governor assigned was that Judge Garrow had requested It In a private letter, and the appeal was such as not to be disregarded. But why did Judge Garrow make such a request? Ills honesty was above suspicion, his integrity was undoubted, and his firmness could not be questioned. Yet, after declaring It his purpose to check the lawlessness then existing by the strong arm of the law, I A3 give you pioof that another man killed Bivins, would you recommend his pardon WHAT r "I replied that if the proof was such as to ronvlnre me of its reliability 1 would certainly feel culled upon to Interfere in the condemned man's behalf. " But, Judge, ' he continued, 'you will have to give me your solemn assurance not to divulge what 1 relate to you. "I demurred to entering Into any urh compact. Remember, he cried vehemently, while you ran wrong no man by your lienee, yet If you do not listen to me you will allow an innocent person to die upon the gallows. I swear this before the living God. Hie manner as much as anything else overcame my scruples, and I gave him my promise 'so long as I live not to reveal any statement he might make to me. Then he said: 'Judge Garrow, the man Amos Bivins met his death as an expiation for a crime he had himself committed. In Virginia just before the close of the war, with a squad of marauding soldiers, he entered the home of a man who was bearing arms in defense of the very fireside that was being ruthlessly Invaded and desecrated. Mother and children had to flee in the night, and she, the mother, met her death from the exposure and fright. This man Bivins was the only one recognized, as be hud .sold goods about the community from a peddler's pack.

There, it may be mentioned, lived at the time the young man lo whom The Mary Tilbury was betrothed. young man took her to drive across the island in the vehicle, usual in the place, which has an open space behind the seat. As the pair were driving homeward along a lonely road they saw the bent figure of an old woman, who bore upon her back a heavy burden of some sort, tolling along in advance of them. As they overtook lu--r the young woman proposed that they should invite her to ride. They did so. and were glad they did, for the old woman was evidently travel and burden weary, and looked up ut them ns they stopped by her side with .a grateful expression upon her face. Evidently the burden on her bark was a bag containing wliat clothes she had; and Mary Tilbury wondered if she might not have been turned out of her semblance of a home. She was rertainl.v extremely old. She might well have licen beyond her 80th year. The young man helped her into the wagon.

Rut the judge did not explain and his silence through all these years has kept the Hastings ease one of the strangest of the unexplained murder mysteries of Alabama. When questioned at the time the Judge said: I had just and sufficient reasons for arting as I did. Time and time has this rase and its strange denouement come before my mind, and often have I tried to reach a solution which would be satisfactory to myself and leave no suspicion upon the memory of a member of the Judiciary, whose character had always been above reproach. It is all clear now. Judge Garrow has passed to stand himself before a judge whose justice, It is to be hoped, will be tempered with exceeding great mercy for ub all. I have before me this statement, published in a Monroe county paper, and I give It here as the sequel to what I have already recorded: To Those Who May Be Living When I Am Dead: I believe If any shall desire to look Into my life history they will find nothing that posterity shall be ashamed to read upon my gravestone. Yet there is one transaction of my career as criminal Judge which demands of me an explanation. In truth, I should have been ready to meet that demand before I pussed away, but I was so placed that my lips were scaled. The wrong (if wrong I did) was in allowing myself to be hampered, but justice to an innocent man weighed in the balance against unjust suspicion toward myself. This single act of mine fur which I may have borne public condemnation was the part I took in securing a pardon for one Andrew Hastings, ar-- i signed and convicted of the murder of Amos Bivins ut the fall term of the Circuit court in Monroe county, Alabama, October, 1867. Without any attempt to criticise the motives of those who thought it wise amid scenes of desolation and lawlessness to hold in check the passions of suddenly freed slaves by an appeal to their superstitious fears.

The next morning the little visitor was on hand ngain. She gave him cheese, cracker dust and bits of meat. He began to grow and witbin six months was a full developed rat. Just where the rut slept up to that time Mrs. Earnst does not know. She arranged a bed of cotton in a cigar box, with a round hole cut In the corner through which the rat would go In and out. He has slept there ever since. Another pet of Mrs. Earnst is a tremendously large gray eat. "The rat and the cut have been the very best of friends all along," said Mrs. Earnst. On one or two occasions while they acre both eating from the same dish the rat would get on the cat's side, i have heard iter growl at him. but she haa never bitten or abused him in any way.
