Trial of Isaac Ady

The trial of Isaac Ady, for the murder of his wife, Elizabeth Ady, was commenced last Tuesday, as noticed in our last week’s paper, and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and part of Friday, were consumed in the examination of witnesses, and hearing the arguments of counsel.

The Jury, after an absence of about four hours, returned into court; and being each separately interrogated, said they found Isaac Ady guilty of manslaughter.

On Saturday morning, the attorneys for the prisoner, filed a motion for a new trial, which his Honor. Judge Kennon, said he would not dispose of during the present term. - Cadiz Sentinel
