Richmond Enquirer

ISAAC B. DESHA.—At the late term of the Harrison Circuit Court, another fruitless effort was made to try this miserable man. Six jurors only were procured. Since the preceding term of the Court, he had been going at large, having been bailed out on the ground that confinement would endanger his life. At the late term a motion was made to continue his bail; but after taking the opinion of physicians, that confinement would not now endanger his life, the Judge remanded him to jail. Thereupon, his father, the Governor, as we are informed, granted him a full and free pardon. He breathes through a silver tube inserted in his throat, which has to be frequently changed or cleansed. When it is removed, he strangles, and were it not replaced, would soon suffocate. Whether guilty or innocent, he has suffered worse than the pains of death and will carry with him to the grave, a mark which nothing can efface.
