On Sunday night, March 28, 1875, Axley G. Harrison, of Pleasant township, Delaware county, was shot and killed while sitting at his fireside. Suspicion fell upon a young man named Albert Snell, who had been courting Harrison's daughter against Harrison's will and command. The daughter, too, had loved Snell, not wisely, but too well. He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to the State prison for life. His lawyers obtained an order for a new trial from the Supreme Court, and the second trial was held recently. The mother, two beautiful sisters, and Miss Harrison, with her babe, were present with Snell during the trial. As the case progressed, the belief of the community in the innocence of the accused strengthened, and intense interest was felt in the result. The verdict of accquittal was received with a rousing shout of approval by a large audience, and Snell was overwhelmed with congratulations. Judge Kibbey presided at the trial. Snell and his attorneys were visited by crowds at their residence, and addressed the people. The next day Snell was married to Miss Harrison.
