Chapter 61
_Another Chance for Life._--_A Third Trial._--_A Final Verdict._--_and a Just Punishment._
Immediately upon the rendering of the verdict, the attorneys for Bucholz moved for an arrest of judgment and filed their reasons for a new trial.
After a delay of some weeks, an argument was had thereon. It was contended among other things that one of the jurymen, during the trial, and while they had not been confined, had spoken of the case upon which he was engaged, and had expressed an opinion in regard to the matter which he had been selected to determine.
Upon this fact being shown to the satisfaction of the judges, a new trial was ordered, and the month of the succeeding February was fixed as the time for the hearing of the same.
The second trial was had, and although the evidence adduced was the same as upon the preceding occasion, or if anything stronger and more convincing, the jury disagreed and were finally discharged.
A remarkable feature of this disagreement was the fact that upon the final polling of the jury that was taken, the vote given was: For murder in the first degree, nine; for murder in the second degree, two; and for _absolute acquittal_, one.
Grave doubts were entertained of the influence which induced that single vote, but in the absence of any proof to the contrary it must be regarded as an honest opinion conscientiously given.
Another respite was thus afforded the unhappy prisoner, and the third trial--now just completed--was fixed for the thirteenth day of April in the present year.
Again the court has been convened, and the formality of a trial has been gone through with. The jury have been sworn, the witnesses have been examined and arguments have been made. Still, despite the vigorous and persistent attacks that have been attempted, truth prevails in the courts of law, and justice is triumphant.
After a laborious trial, lasting over three weeks, the jury have rendered a verdict of "Guilty of murder in the second degree," and the prisoner, standing tremblingly before the bar of justice, has been condemned to "_imprisonment for life_."
After exhausting all the technicalities that could be devised, the murderer of Henry Schulte will suffer the penalties of the law.
* * * * *
Again we will visit the prison and look within the narrow cell where William Bucholz is confined. After a long struggle, fate has overtaken him. The dark shadows of night have gathered over the gloomy walls of the structure, and William Bucholz is now alone--the pale, thin face and the sunken eyes tell the agonizing story of unending anxiety and those sleepless vigils attendant upon the terrible state of uncertainty through which he has passed, and the doom which he is now to suffer.
His hair is disordered and he wildly pushes it away from his temples, as though its trifling weight added to the burden already resting upon his brain. The veins stand out upon his temples--now almost bursting with the intensity of the thoughts that have been crowding upon him--and still they come, vivid and terrible.
Vainly he tries to seek that rest that will bring Nepenthe to his dreams, but the specter of that murdered old man will arise before his vision, and rest is impossible. Ah, how many long, weary days and nights, fraught with terror and remorse, will come to this unfortunate man ere he finds a final release and a bed of earth!
The miser of Hagen is avenged--and the murderer will suffer for his crime.
THE END.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"Mrs. Holmes' stories are universally read. Her admirers are numberless. She is in many respects without a rival in the world of fiction. Her characters are always life-like, and she makes them talk and act like human beings, subject to the same emotions, swayed by the same passions, and actuated by the same motives which are common among men and women of every day existence. Mrs. Holmes is very happy in portraying domestic life. Old and young peruse her stories with great delight, for she writes in a style that all can comprehend."--_New York Weekly._
The North American Review, vol. 81, page 557, says of Mrs. Mary J. Holmes' novel, "English Orphans":--"With this novel of Mrs. Holmes' we have been charmed, and so have a pretty numerous circle of discriminating readers to whom we have lent it. The characterization is exquisite, especially so far as concerns rural and village life, of which there are some pictures that deserve to be hung up in perpetual memory of types of humanity fast becoming extinct. The dialogues are generally brief, pointed, and appropriate. The plot seems simple, so easily and naturally is it developed and consummated. Moreover, the story thus gracefully constructed and written, inculcates without obtruding, not only pure Christian morality in general, but, with especial point and power, the dependence of true success on character, and of true respectability on merit."
"Mrs. Holmes' stories are all of a domestic character, and their interest, therefore, is not so intense as if they were more highly seasoned with sensationalism, but it is of a healthy and abiding character. Almost any new book which her publisher might choose to announce from her pen would get an immediate and general reading. The interest in her tales begins at once, and is maintained to the close. Her sentiments are so sound, her sympathies so warm and ready, and her knowledge of manners, character, and the varied incidents of ordinary life is so thorough, that she would find it difficult to write any other than an excellent tale if she were to try it."--_Boston Banner._

CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS.
A NEW EDITION.
Among the many editions of the works of this greatest of English Novelists, there has not been until _now_ one that entirely satisfies the public demand.--Without exception, they each have some strong distinctive objection,--either the form and dimensions of the volumes are unhandy--or, the type is small and indistinct--or, the illustrations are unsatisfactory--or, the binding is poor--or, the price is too high.
An entirely new edition is _now_, however, published by G. W. Carleton & Co., of New York, which, in every respect, completely satisfies the popular demand.--It is known as
"Carleton's New Illustrated Edition."
COMPLETE IN 15 VOLUMES.
The size and form is most convenient for holding,--the type is entirely new, and of a clear and open character that has received the approval of the reading community in other works.
The illustrations are by the original artists chosen by Charles Dickens himself--and the paper, printing, and binding are of an attractive and substantial character.
This beautiful new edition is complete in 15 volumes--at the extremely reasonable price of $1.50 per volume, as follows:--
1.--PICKWICK PAPERS AND CATALOGUE. 2.--OLIVER TWIST.--UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. 3.--DAVID COPPERFIELD. 4.--GREAT EXPECTATIONS.--ITALY AND AMERICA. 5.--DOMBEY AND SON. 6.--BARNABY RUDGE AND EDWIN DROOD. 7.--NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. 8.--CURIOSITY SHOP AND MISCELLANEOUS. 9.--BLEAK HOUSE. 10.--LITTLE DORRIT. 11.--MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT. 12.--OUR MUTUAL FRIEND. 13.--CHRISTMAS BOOKS.--TALE OF TWO CITIES. 14.--SKETCHES BY BOZ AND HARD TIMES. 15.--CHILD'S ENGLAND AND MISCELLANEOUS.
