' Thk Welhh Gab*?The trial of TIiob. Welch, charged with killing lticliard H llennegen in June U*t, was concluded CI yesterday, and resulted in the acquittal W of Welsh. The case was given to the jury t'< about half-past Jive o'clock in the even- NV iug, and after au absence of only fifteen minuted they returned a verdict of not Si guilty. Welsh and Hennegcn were lJ' brothers-in-law, llennegen being the husband of Welsh's sister, and hafl not been st. on good terms for some time previous to Ik iiennegen't death, Th| evidence Id the C? case shows that llennegen had frequently er threatened to kill Welsh, and that he insulted him and attempted to pick a quarrel withhibi whenevef occasion offered. Tl On the evening of the difficulty the par- H ties met near the Baltimore*St Ohio shyp", (,\ nuvit iirmivKi'ii renew l-u uiaiiiau(iH upon Welsh, ami after ndtlreHHiiij; him in most te insulting ami Violent language, dared him wj to fight. As "upon former occasion#, Co Welsh evidently desired to avoid a difli- w| cnlty, and walked down the railroad in HU company with a young lady. Hennegeu K followed, continuing hid insulting Ian- ai guflge. Welsh left the young lady, and jn met Henuegen on the railroad track, m, when several blow* were exchanged, and ni Ilrnnegen fell?dead. There was some difference of opinion an to the immediate canm |of Hennegen's death, it being si rj, matter of doubt-whether he waa killed by a blow from Welsh's fist, or a fall 011 the \\ rail. The prisoner was promptly dis* t'( charged from custody. * t v Tub .Tuipebakoe Movement in C^ABKbuuKa.?Almost unexampled hue- \ cess has attended the "Murphy movement*'nn Clarksburg.
