MURDER IN BRAXTON. ---- Jemima Green, who lived with her two children – one two years old and the other an infant but 3 weeks old, near Sutton, Braxton county, this State, was murdered on the night of the 20th last. The coroner’s jury, as stated by a correspondent of the Weston Democrat, “found a verdict of death, caused by bruises on the head and strangulation, at the hands of some party or parties to them not known.” The whole affair is enveloped in mystery; and no clue whatever has been obtained to the perpetrators of the horrid crime. The woman was very poor, so that robbery could not have been the motive of the criminal. Our community is very justly excited; and steps are being taken which we hope will result in the arrest and speedy punishment of the murderer.

THE JEMIMA GREEN MURDER. ---- The murder of Jemima Green, which occurred, as our readers will recollect, near Sutton, on the 20th of May, has produced a great deal of excitement in our neighboring county of Braxton. It is generally desired and understood that the County Court, at its next session, will offer a large reward for information that will lead to the apprehension of the perpetrators; but should the Court fail to do this, certain public spirited citizens will take the matter into their own hands, and by subscription raise means to offer a reward.

We present below a brief epitome of the tragedy; and some attendant circumstances, as they were elicited before the coroner’s jury, which may throw some light on the mystery. We omit the names of the men to whom we refer; we do not desire to do them an injustice; but it is proper that the public should be made fully acquainted with the facts in the case:

There lived 2 miles east of Sutton a woman by the name of Jemima Green, about the age of 21 years. Her father and mother both died some years ago. It is said of her that she was honest – would neither lie or steal; nor did she in any way intrude upon the rights of her neighbors. But yet she was unfortunate enough to be the mother of two illegitimate children, one of them 3 years, the other 3 weeks old. On the night of the 16th of May she was by three men, ____________, ____________ and ____________, removed from the little log cabin where she had only three weeks before given birth to the infant before referred to, and carried, with her two children, about 5 miles west of Sutton on Little Otter Creek, and there put in a little log cabin. She was in a destitute condition, having neither bread or meat, no shoes, and scarcely any clothing. Here, in this dismal hut, four days afterward, she was, on the night of the 20th of May, most brutally murdered, and dragged out of the house, her infant left in the bed; and when found about 6 o’clock the next morning, the three year old little girl was standing beside her mother’s body, crying. The woman had evidently been choked or suffocated in some way, the neck and face was dreadfully discolored, and some little bruises appeared on one side of her face.

A Jury was impaneled by Justice Frame, who made an examination of the dead body, and examined 10 witnesses, but elicited no clue as to who the guilty parties were. The poverty and general squalor there showed that money had not been the object that prompted the assassin to the dreadful deed; for the deceased was truly in abject poverty. The testimony did not discover even a bitter enemy. The next thing was to find a probable cause on which to predicate a theory. Among other things, it was disclosed that the deceased was a witness against ____________ in a felony case. Now it will be remembered that he helped to remove her from her home above Sutton to the new position below Sutton, claiming all the time to be friendly to the deceased. The next thing disclosed was that she had been moved to the new position at the insistence of ____________, whom she alleged to be the father of her young child. Now it will also be remembered that ____________ helped to move Jemima Green, in the night time, to her new position. This new position brought the deceased, it was claimed, close to the house of ____________, who had agreed to provide for her during the summer. The house into which she was last put was under the control of ____________, who was the other gentleman that helped in the night time to remove the deceased and is the nephew of the said ____________. It was further disclosed that after taking the deceased to the new position, she was not promptly provided for and that she said on the day previous to her death, that if ____________ did not immediately provide for her, she would on the 21st of May, 1875, go before a Justice and swear the child to him. The evidence further disclosed that on the day previous to her death, that ____________ and ____________ both visited her house.
It is true that this is but a skein of circumstantial evidence; but it should be thoroughly sifted. It will not do to allow a fellow-creature to be brutally murdered, without an effort being made to discover and punish the criminals.

THE JEMIMA GREEN MURDER, $500 REWARD. ---- To the credit of the County Court of Braxton County be it said, that at the late term thereof, an order was made offering a reward of $500 for such information as will lead to the apprehension of the murderer or murderers of the unfortunate Jemima Green. It is also understood that a petition will be forwarded to Governor Jacob, requesting him to offer a reward of like amount, for the same purpose. It is hoped and believed that with this incentive, the criminal will be brought to justice. This is about the best chance we know of for a good detective to “make a good raise.” The case could be “worked up,” and the parties arrested within two weeks by a shrewd and experienced police officer.

THE MURDER OF JEMIMA GREEN

The court offers a reward of five-hundred dollars for the arrest of the murderer of Jemima Green, the money not to be paid until the party or parties are tried and convicted. It will thus be seen that the authorities of this county are making every effort to have that cold blooded murderer brought to the bar of justice as speedily as possible. If the Governor would offer a reward of a like sum it could not be better appropriated, for if the strong arm of the law does not come to the defense of helpless and defenseless women we may as well give up the idea of depending upon our laws and constitution for protection.
The people generally seem to have a fixed and settled opinion as to who the guilty parties are, but it requires time to find out the whole affair; we presume there never was a case where a murderer covered his tracks better than the murderer of Miss Green.

FROM BRAXTON, A LIVELY COURT

Indictment and Arrest of the Alleged Murderers of Jemina Green

By a private letter from Sutton, we learn that the last term of the Circuit Court was one of the liveliest in the history of Braxton County. The Grand Jury was in session five days; and returned 52 indictments. Among the number, Isaac L. Perkins, Ellis Perkins and David Wine were indicted for the murder of Jemima Green. The parties, (with one exception) were arrested, and are now in jail.

FROM BRAXTON
Examination of the Parties Indicted for the Murder of Jemima Green

A correspondent writing from Sutton, September 20th, says:

After a long and exhaustive preliminary examination before the County Court, it was deemed by said court that a sufficient amount of evidence had been elicited to justify said official body in sending on for future trial, S. E. Perkins, I. L. Perkins and David Wine, indicted at the late term of the Circuit Court for the murder of one Jemima Green. No legal proceedings for years have attracted so much attention in this locality and called forth such an effort on behalf of both parties. No less than ninety witnesses were examined and their testimony reduced to writing. For the purpose of enabling the reader to understand the motive and cause of such tremendous legal exertions, we will briefly enumerate some of the leading facts in the case of ………………. words missing …………. the evidence produced at the examination:

On the night of 21st of May last, on Otter Creek, in this county, a young woman by the name of Jemima Green was brutally murdered by blows upon the head with clubs, found on the ground, and by strangulation, as evidenced by marks upon her neck and throat – (such was the verdict of the jury of inquest.) Eight miles from where she was killed and three weeks prior to that time, this woman gave birth to a child that rumor asserted one Elijah Perkins was the father of, which was probably based upon the woman’s own assertions; all of which may or may not have been the case. Nevertheless, so soon as circumstances would permit, the said Elijah Perkins, his nephew, Isaac L. Perkins, and David Wine, moved the woman and her effects, in the night time to Otter creek, and four days thereafter she was murdered.

Evidence at the examination developed the fact that provisions had been furnished her by S. E. Perkins, through the instrumentality of Isaac L. Perkins, he being the bearer. Further evidence upon the examination went to show that Samuel E. Perkins (son of Elijah Perkins) left home the night of the murder and returned about 3 o’clock in the morning, and, when questioned by one of the witnesses for the prosecution, admitted to said witness that he had been to Otter creek that night. Still further evidence indicated that Isaac L. Perkins had been away from home the same night, while unimpeachable testimony showed Wine to have been from home the whole night, and seen on the road both to and from the house where the woman was murdered.

Reckless counter swearing was done and extreme variations in testimony made by witnesses for the defense. A close observer, however, of the standard evidence in the case would readily admit the wisdom of the Court in sending them on for further and final trial, which trial will hardly take place in Braxton county, as public opinion is decidedly against them, with no end to expressions of the same. Notwithstanding the fact that scores of witnesses attempted to establish an alibi and impeach the credibility of the witnesses for the prosecution, the character and relationship of many of the witnesses for the defense were such as to prejudice public opinion against them, and when adjusted in the legal balances were found sadly defective and wanting, as indicated by the action of the Court in sending the parties on for further and final trial; and as a desperate effort will then be made, and the evidence here given be again subject to exhaustive legal scrutiny, we forbear giving further publicity to that class of proceedings.

Taking the circumstances all together, and examining them in the mildest light in which it is possible to view the crime of felony, we claim that it was a most unprovoked, villainous and inhuman case of murder, and could be concocted and perpetrated only by a fiend or fiends incarnate.

Ten days were consumed in the examination of the case, closing by extraordinary efforts on behalf of the opposing council. M. T. Frame, Esq., Prosecuting Attorney for this county, acquitted himself with more than usual credit. Notwithstanding the formidable array of legal talent representing the defense, he dexterously gained ground on more technical questions, and then closed by a systematic, able and powerful summing up of the case that swept away all opposition, carried with it a conviction, and resulted in a prompt decision by the Court to send the parties on for further trial.

Crowds of people daily attended court during the protracted examination, and left in a body with feelings of relief when the proceeding terminated. Here the case rests for the present. More soon.

BRAXTON COUNTY LETTER

Braxton County, West Virginia, November 25, 1875

Editors of the Intelligencer:

A special term of the Circuit Court for this county has been ordered by Judge Mott, to commence December 6th, for the purpose of trying David Wine, Isaac L. Perkins and Ellis Perkins, charged with the murder of Miss Jemima Green, the particulars of which you have published heretofore. It is reported that David Wine has made a confession implicating himself and others, but we will not give names or particulars until the statement is confirmed. It will probably take two or three weeks to dispose of these three cases, as nearly one hundred witnesses will be examined.

THE JEMIMA GREEN MURDER TRIAL ---- A Correction ----
During our absence a local item appeared in The Democrat concerning the Braxton murder case, which, as it appears from the following letter, was entirely incorrect:

GLENVILLE, December 28, 1875

Editor Democrat ---- In your issue of the 27th last, under the head of “Braxton”, you say: “The trial of E. C. Perkins, one of the murderers of Jemima Green, occurred last week and Perkins was sent to the Penitentiary for life. The others are to be tried in Gilmer county.” I wish to say that almost everything stated above is untrue. Some of them are in part true. First, the name is not correct ---- the person tried was Samuel E. Perkins. In the second place, he was not sent to the Penitentiary at all. And, in the third place, who knows that he is “one of the murderers or Jemima Green”?

The fact is, Mr. Perkins was tried, and the jury rendered a verdict which, if allowed to stand, would have sent him to the “Penitentiary for life”; but the court, on motion, for more than one cause, set aside the verdict and granted the accused a new trial, and his case also was transferred to Gilmer. Signed… Truly, R. F. Fleming

THE BRAXTON MURDER TRIAL. ---- An esteemed friend in Braxton sends us the following epitome of the trial of the parties charged with the murder of Jemima Green:

We have for many weeks had quite an excitement over the trial of S. E. Perkins, one of the parties charged with the murder of Jemima Green on the 20th May last. On December 6th, a special term of the Circuit Court for Braxton county was held by his Honor, Judge Holt, for the trial of Samuel E. Perkins, David Wine and Lewis Perkins. After three days a jury was finally impaneled for the trial of Samuel E. Perkins, and the examination of the State witnesses began. The corpus delicti was so far proven as to leave but little doubt that Jemima Green was murdered.

The State proved by Mariah J. Hines and Marion Nichols a threat made by the prisoner on Wednesday previous to the killing on Thursday night. The State next proved an opportunity by the prisoner at the proper time to execute his threat; also several admissions that showed him to be one of the parties to the killing. The State also showed that the prisoner had attempted to remove suspicion off of himself by procuring another party to charge a third person therewith. There the State rested her case. This evidence was chiefly the tale of Mariah J. Hines, late Mariah Chapman, a woman wholly void of chastity, and given up to debauchery. She was, at the time of the murder, the paramour of the prisoner, but was by him, sometime in July, afterward abandoned, at which time he, the prisoner, took to his bosom another woman, and then the abandoned wife (for she was the lawful wife of Mr. Hines) and abandoned paramour, turned the tables on her recent lover.

Her statement was contradicted by 10 witnesses on matters of fact, and her general character for truth and veracity impeached by quite a number of respectable witnesses who were neither Perkins’ or cohorts of the Perkins’ and yet, strange to say, the jury after a trial of nine days, in which 80 witnesses were examined and a most complete alibi proven by the prisoner, and a direct contradiction of all the important facts proven by the State, the verdict of the jury was, “We the Jury find the prisoner, Samuel E. Perkins, guilty of murder in the first degree; and we do further find that he be punished by confinement in the Penitentiary.”

The prisoner then moved the court to set aside the verdict of the jury and grant him a new trial, on the grounds that the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence in the case, and on the ground that a member of the jury had expressed an opinion previous to the trial, and on account of newly discovered evidence; and here the prisoner, by his counsel Mr. Fleming, offered 5 affidavits, prominent among them the second paramour of the prisoner, who had but recently ousted Mrs. Jane Hines, made a sworn statement that she, Sarah J. Mollohan, her mother, Betsy Mollohan, and William B. Young, residents of Little Otter creek, and in the immediate vicinity of the deceased, had, in the night time, about 2 o’clock, gone to the house of Jemima Green and called and knocked at her door. When the deceased inquired who was there, William B. Young answered and said, “Lige is here”, meaning Lige Perkins. The deceased then returned to the fire to kindle it up when Young and Betsy Mollohan, who had previously provided themselves with heavy clubs, went in on her, while this witness stood at the door, and while she was stooped down kindling the fire. Young struck her across the small of the back, felling her face foremost to the floor. Young then caught her and jerked her backward on her back and stamped her in the face and on the neck killing her very quickly. Young and Mollohan then caught deceased by the arms and dragged her out of the house; and then the three quickly retraced their steps homeward.

It is needless to say that this terrible development was not believed by many, but it was quite as worthy as the story of Jane Hines and had more semblance of truth in it, from the fact she confessed herself one of the murderers.

The Court, after a very elaborate examination of the case, set aside the verdict of the jury and granted to Samuel E. Perkins one more chance for his life; and on his petition and affidavit, and likewise the petitions of the other two prisoners, a change in venue was ordered in each of the cases to the Gilmer Circuit Court.

And now, in conclusion, I will add that the murder of Jemima Green remains a mystery to me but I think that these trials will yet develop the real murderers.

At the last term of the Braxton Circuit Court, Sarah Jane Williams, mother of David Wine, was indicted for the murder, and the next Grand Jury will probably add three or four to the number. The truth is Braxton county is determined to have a victim for this murder; and I only hope that patience may be had by the multitude till time and trial uncover the guilty ones.

ITEM FROM BRAXTON: Noting the item was taken from the Democrat’s sprightly little neighbor, the Sutton Mountaineer

We learned that a warrant is in the hands of an officer for the apprehension of Elijah Perkins, charged with complicity in the Jemima Green murder. Yet, what additional grounds, if any, there are for such a procedure, other than indirect evidence of guilty knowledge, heretofore elicited on the trial of other parties for the same offence, we know not.

ITEM FROM BRAXTON COUNTY

The true inwardness of the Jemima Green murder is again under discussion. On the 20th of December last Sarah Jane Mollohan made oath before Colonel N. B. Squires that the murder was committed in her presence by her mother and a man named Young. On the 3rd day of the present month, being very sick and expecting to die, she made oath before Squire Stewart that her former statement was entirely false and that she was hired and scared into making it by the Perkins.

If she gets well, she should be sent to Brooklyn to join Brothers Beecher, Moulton, Bowen, etc.

STATE NEWS

Isaac and Samuel Perkins were acquitted by the jury at Glenville, Gilmer county in the face of what is styled unimpeached evidence. As for the result the Mountaineer says: How long is it to be thus? Shall the murderers of Jemima Green, who was a poor, helpless, misguided orphan just merged into womanhood, be permitted to go free? Shall crime of the darkest hue, crime at which satan himself would blush, be permitted to go unpunished? If so, we say Alas! Alas! for the civilization of the nineteenth century. The men had been convicted at the trial in Braxton county last December.

From the Mountaineer. The jury in the case of the State vs. Sarah J. Williams rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, and fixed her confinement in the penitentiary for life.

Can an accessory be convicted after the principal has been tried and acquitted? This is an interesting question to Mrs. Williams now, and her lawyers should test it in the Court of Appeals.

State News

The Elijah Perkins trial was brought to a close last week by the acquittal of Perkins. It was a long and tedious trial and much ability was displayed by the counsel for the State, as well as by the counsel for the defendant. Messrs. Frame and John E. Hays represented the State and Messrs. Brannon, Fleming and Morrison, Perkins. Thus ends the trials of those charged with the brutal murder of Jemima Green. Mrs. Williams is the only one who has been convicted, That some others aided in that murder no one who has heard any of the evidence, can have any doubt, but whoever they may be, so far go unpunished and it is not likely there will be any further investigation of the sad affair.

A Case Showing the Importance of More Specific Legislation

The Court of Appeals has lately rendered an interesting decision in a case, which discloses another instance of the looseness of our statutory laws, and suggested the importance of more specific legislation upon one question at issue.

The case is that of the State vs. Sarah J. Williams on an indictment for the murder of Jemima Greene, tried in the Circuit Court of Braxton county, and in which the jury rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The motion for a new trial was over-ruled by the Circuit Court, and the case comes up to the Court of Appeals on a bill of exceptions on behalf of the defense, raising a number of questions which have severally been passed on by the latter Court, but only one of which we desire to notice.

The trial of the case in the Circuit Court in which the verdict was found against the defendant as above stated, was had by a “special term” called by the Judge of that Court. But the regular Judge failed to attend. In case of the failure of the Judge to attend upon a general term of the Circuit Court, the statute provides that the members of the bar may elect from among their own number a special judge to preside during the term with like powers and giving the same validity to the proceedings of the court as if presided over by the regular judge.

Acting in strict conformity with the statute referred to, did elect in this instance a special judge, who presided at the special term appointed for the hearing of the case in question, and at which the trial was had and the verdict rendered as above stated.

One of the points raised by the defense on appeal is the constitutionality of the act which provides for such election of a special judge. Upon one branch of this question, the Court of Appeals are unanimous in the opinion that, “The act of the Legislature, chapter 120, Acts 1872,3, which provides for electing a special judge by the members of the bar to hold a general term of a Circuit Court, where from any cause the judge fails to appear, or if present, cannot preside, is Constitutional.”

But on another point arising in the same connection – and it is the point to which we refer – the court failed to agree. This question refers more particularly to the meaning of the act itself which authorizes the election of a special judge, and is thus stated in the opinion of the Court: “Whether that act authorizes the election by the members of the bar of a special judge to hold a special term of said court, when the judge having called the special term fails to attend; and if so, whether such act, as it applies, to a special term is constitutional or not, the court is equally divided.”

Upon all the points passed upon excepting the constitutional question, the court was a unit, but upon that they divide, Judges Johnson and Green filing a dissenting opinion upon this point alone. The case was reversed on the ground that the verdict was not warranted by the evidence.

The action of the Court on the act of 1872,3, does not establish a precedent but it does leave the meaning and effect of the act in that uncertain state, as virtually to render it inoperative and too hazardous to justify any Court in acting upon it while its intent is so obscure, or its validity under the constitution so questionable as that the Court of Appeals cannot determine it.

If the act is of any importance, and it is certainly so regarded, the next Legislature should make it sufficiently specific to be useful. As we understand the opinion of the Court, the difficulty is not with the meaning, or perhaps the constitutionality of the provision when applied to the election of a special judge for a general term, but in electing a special judge for a special term. It is doubtless more frequently the case that a special judge is needed for a special, than a regular term, and the benefits of the act, if thus limited, are very much abridged. Signed Register
