The
Verdict -- The
trial of George V. Foreman for the murder of Isaphene
Allen was commenced in the Court of Common Pleas, of this county, on Wednesday
morning of last week. The forenoon of
that day was occupied in empanneling [sic] the
jury. A little over two days was spent
in the examination of witnesses; the testimony being closed on Friday at 2
o clock, when the argument was commenced by D. H. Wire, Esq., for the State,
who was followed by N. Hollister, Esq., for the accused, and he by W. P.
Richardson, Esq., for the State. Judges
Cowen and Kennon closed the argument for the accused,
and E. Archbold, Esq., for the State, at about 10
o clock on Saturday night. There seems
to be but one opinion as to the labors of counsel, and that is that they all
did their duty faithfully and well.
Their speeches were masterly efforts.
We did not hear Judge Okey s charge to the
jury, but we did hear one of the counsel for the defence [sic] say that it was one of the ablest charges he
ever heard.
The jury agreed upon a verdict at about 2
o clock on Sunday morning; when, upon the ringing of the bell, there was a rush
to the court house. Quite a number of
ladies were still up and went to hear the verdict, which was NOT GUILTY. The accused exhibited as little emotion,
judging from appearances, as any man in the court house, indeed such was his
demeanor throughout the whole trial.
No case ever tried in our county has
excited more interest than this. The
court room was crowded to its utmost capacity during the entire trial. A large number of the ladies of our town were
in attendance during the arguments of counsel.
We commence, in to-day s paper, the
evidence in the case. It will be
concluded in our next.

Horrible
and Heart-Rending
On the morning of Feb. 10th 1858,
a scene occurred some 3 miles east of Beallsville, in the road of a mile
below I. D. Riley s residence; where a dead person was discovered laying in the
highway, covered over with mud and frozen to death, which death no doubt was
caused by the too fee use of ardent spirits.
He was first seen by Wm. Workman, Esq., who was on his way to
Beallsville, who when arriving at Beallsville, reported the facts as seen,
whereupon H. B. James, Esq., selected a jury and an inquest was held. When these gentlemen arrived at the scene
mattocks had to be used to separate him from the frozen earth; and on further
examination the body was discovered to be that of one of our neighbors -- Mr.
JOHN BEABOUT -- whose family resides at Powhattan
Point. Mr. Beabout
it appears started with three of his cousins towards this (Beallsville)
settlement -- got as far as John Oneacher s -- got
whisky -- drank of it -- came on up Cat s run to John Brill s, another
God-forsaken doggery keeper -- got more whisky -- and arrived at my shop and
stopped on some business. I soon
discovered him to be in a state of intoxication. This was about 2 o clock, P.M. After which he left to overtake his cousins
who had left him here. It appears that
he overtook them at Benj. Williams , some 2 miles east of Beallsville --
implored them to return with him, to attend a frolic which was to come off at
Marx Albert s the next day; but the boys, his cousins, refusing so to do, left
him, after taking a drain at parting, which liquor Beabout
is said to have spit out on account of its not being good. This occurred about half past 3 o clock,
P.M., and it appears he was not seen by any one until seen by Squire Workman
in this awful and horrible condition the next morning. It is the opinion of the writer had Beabout not been found dead, we might learn where he had
been from half past 3 o clock until about 12 that self-same night.
Mr. Beabout
leaves a wife and three children to mourn the loss of him who was destroyed by
that poison so freely dealt in by men who possess no principle, and who are
found so plenty throughout our land and country. This horrible scene should prove a warning to
his old associates, and all who are in the habit of indulging in dram drinking. And why, I ask, should not the sober part of
community put their shoulders to the wheel and clear the country of these sinks
of iniquity? It was thought that had
every poison-seller and drinker been present, it would have proved the best demoustrative [sic] temperance lecture that could have been
devised. Many
who were present, I learn, say that they will take warning, and it is hoped
that their courage, in this resolve, will never fail. Then, Mr. Editor, let me say once more, in
conclusion, that we will resolve God being our helper, to bring all such men as
Oneacker and Brill, and a host of others, to justice;
and we trust that our fellow-citizens, in every place, will put their faces
against this soul and body destroying evil; till we shall be enabled to have
such men, if men they ought to be called, made to see that they are the worst
creatures we have in our midst.

The
Execution of Burns --
From the
In accordance with the sentence pronounced
by Judge Thompson the Circuit Court, JOHN BURNS was put to death by hanging to
day. At eight o clock in the morning the
German Rifle Company repaired to the place of execution for the purpose of
guarding the gallows from the intrusion of spectators. By ten o clock, all the preliminaries were
completed, and the gallows put in readines [sic] to
execute its dreadful work.
At eleven, the coach which was to convey
the victim to the place of execution, was driven up to
the door of the jail and the convict was placed in it as soon as it could be
conveniently done. About fifteen minutes
after eleven, the funeral cortege was in readiness to move. It was guarded by the Fencibles. A platoon was thrown before and behind the
coach and a flank on each side of it.
The cortege having halted, the prisoner
with the attendants alighted and he ascended the gallows supported by sheriff Irving and Jailor Smith, and was seated upon a chair
on the fall. His appearance was one of
extreme despair. In walking his legs
gave way under him to such an extent that he could not have proceeded without
assistance. For a few moments he sat and
viewed the assemblage in a manner that was inexpressibly solemn -- as though he
thought it strange that he should have so many human faces to look upon in his
expiring moments. When asked whether he
had any request to make, he replied he would like that a tune should be played.
The Rev. Paull
read the first chapter from the Apostle John and Accompanied
the reading with remarks appropriate to the occasion. Rev. Perkins then reminded him of the manner
in which he had spent the last night in preparation for the awful fate that was
awaiting him. That he was now about to
realize all that he had been anticipating and that as the thief upon the cross
had obtained mercy from the Savior, so might he now receive pardon for his
transgressions if he put his trust in the Redeemer.
Mr. Perkins having concluded his exortation [sic] offered up a solemn and impressive prayer
for the unfortunate man,
During the whole of the religious exercises Burns seemed deeply
impressed with the solemnity of the occasion and shed tears of repentance.
After the devotional exercise
were completed he said he did not care for the music he had before
requested. He was asked if he had anything
to say before he died, to which he responded in the negative. Sheriff Irwin then adjusted the rope to his
neck, attached to the beam. Jailor Smith
put the cap over his face, and in in [sic] an instant after the Sheriff touched
the spring, which sustained the fall, and the poor man with the quickness of
thought was launched into eternity.
He was suspended about twelve minutes,
when the physicians, Drs. Bates and Cummins proceeded to examine whether life
was extinct. When they were about to examine
whether he was dead, the knot slipped and the body fell to the ground. After a minute examination he was pronounced
dead, and the corpse was immediately placed in the coffin.
Thus ended the life of
Burns. The ways of the wicked are
hard, and retribution will inevitably be visited upon them.
He made no confession other than that
which has been published, and with which our readers are already familiar.
The number of persons who witnessed the
execution was estimated at from eight to ten thousand. There were certainly more than we have ever
seen on one occasion in this city before.

REV. JOHN CLINGHAN, at an advanced age, perhaps 70 years or upwards.
Father Clinghan
was one of the early settlers of this county, and was one of the most
industrious and persevering men in the neighborhood in which he lived. The wise man s advice whatsoever they thy
hand findeth [sic] to do, do it with thy might was
adopted by him as a maxim in early life, and carried out in all the
undertakings of his eventful career.
Successful in business he obtained a goodly heritage among his brethren,
and had the good fortune of helping all his children to comfortable homes, and
a fair start in the business world. For
integrity, and promptitude and fidelity, the Subject of this brief notice was
second to no one of his day. Never did a
man possess in a higher degree, the confidence and respect of all who knew him.
Kind, amiable and enterprising he was
capable of, and always ready to assist his frequent applicants for counsel or
pecuniary aid. Nor were these the most
brilliant traits in the character of this good man. His natural endowments were adorned and beautified
by the hollowed influence of the Gospel of the Son of God. In early life he embraced the religion of
Christ, his Saviour, attached himself to the
Methodist K. Church, of which he continued to be a worthy member until removed
by death to join the church triumphant. -- Shortly after his conversion, Father Clinghan was licensed to preach. He entered the traveling connection in the
early part of the present century and for several years labored in the
itinerant ranks, brooking the difficulties and enduring the hardships incident
to the life of a Methodist itinerant of that day. His health failing in some degree, he found
it necessary to fall back into the local ranks.
But the change of his relation did not abate his zeal for the interests
of the church of his choice. He loved
and defended her doctrines, and in the hand of his God was the honored
instrument of the conversion of many who in the last day will rise up and call
him blessed. The chuch
[sic] in this community has been greatly benefited by the labors of this pious
man of God. But his work is done. The Master called and he went forth to meet
him. Sustained by that religion which
had for fifty years supported him here, he passed away like one lying down to
sleep.
Yesterday, at two o clock, he remains were
conveyed to the neat little country chapel erected on his own land, and at his
own expense, where funeral services were conducted by the pastor, assisted by
Rev. D. M. Hollister -- then we laid him down to sleep in the quiet grave near by, until raised by the hand that was nailed to the
cross -- he goes forth to meet the Lord in the air . He leaves a wife, four children and numerous
relations to mourn their loss. May they
all meet him in heaven. N. C. W.

We feel in duty bound to note more
particularly, the death of our much esteemed and valued friend. It is impossible for us to do justice on this
occasion. Were we to try it, it might
sound flat and flattering; but we fear no such accusation from those who were
familiar with the character of the deceased. -- We publish without the fear of being
contradicted, that she died without an enemy in the world. She never was a mother, yet there are many
dead and alive, whom she took in infancy and raised to
maturity, with all the tenderness of a natural mother, (one not yet
matured.) For more than twenty-five
years she has occupied membership in the Presbyterian church;
during all that time she continued irreproachably steadfast, and prayerful,
without one single blot or accusation on her unstained character. She possessed a clear and intelligent
understanding of the doctrines of her own church; and loved it with all the
sincerity and devotion of a true disciple, yet without a vestage
[sic], of that bigotry, or those dogmas which sometimes cloud the conversation,
and paralyze the usefulness of so many otherwise devoted and zealous
Christians. When we consider how
happily, and usefully, she has been employed, we can not
but look upon her death as a great loss to our neighborhood, our church, and to
her brother, whose hearth has been left desolate. A few days previous to her departure, we
talked to her of her probably near approach to eternity. She expressed her entire willingness to
depart, and be with Jesus. She lamented
her unfaithfulness, and unworthiness, but her trust had long been placed in the
Saviour [sic] of sinners, and looked up with full
confidence and hope in the remembrance that the blood of Christ cleanseth [sic] from all sin. We knelt around the hearth and offered a few
broken requests to Heaven in her behalf.
Oh! How she did enjoy that opportunity of drawing near to God. Oh! Said she nobody s prayer does me as much

For many years the deceased was a worthy and
acceptable member of the M. E. Church, and in an eminent degree did she show
forth, in her daily intercourse with the world, the character of the humble and

destroyer of our race, (consumption) had marked her for his prize, and no more
will we hear her silvery voice in fervent and effectual prayer in the earthly

grace, it will strike the golden lyre, and sing the anthems of redeeming love

Shocking
Railroad Accident -- The telegraph of Friday, gave us a brief account of a
terrible railroad accident the night before near
The passenger train, in charge of
conductor G. M. Alexander pas proceeding toward the uity
[sic], at the usual rate of speed and upon reaching the point above nam [sic] the hind car was thrown from the trask [sic] and precipitated down an embankment. The train consisted of three cars, the
hindmost of which contained some fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen, returning
from the camp meeting at Tarentum. -- As soon as the engine could be
reversed, the train was backed to the scene of the disaster, when the ears of
the passengers were greeted with the most heart rending cries. It was very dark, and when it became known
that the car had gone over the precipice, and had been dashed to atoms upon the
rocks below, the liveliest apprehensions were felt. Men cried for their wives and children, and
women were lamenting the loss of their husbands.
Lamps were obtained, and amid the wildest
excitement the passengers began to descend the embankment. It was so steep that it was with great
difficulty that it could be descended at all.
It was at first supposed that eighteen or twenty persons were killed,
owing to the fact that many were wholly unable to rise -- After a thorugh
[sic] search, it was ascertained that but one person was killed, a young lady,
Miss KINCAID, daughter of J.T. Kincaid; coppersmith, of Liberty street, she was
found lying with her head upon a large rock, the skull crushed in, the face
shockingly mutilated, and the brains dashed out. She had evidently been thrown violently
against the track, and afterwards crushed with a portion of the wrecked car,
which was shattered into a thousand fragments.
The wounded were all conveyed to the other
two cars, and attended to as well as circumstances would permit. It was most remarkable that more lives were
not lost, and the survivors united in thanking God for their almost miraculous
preservation from death.
We were unable to obtain a complete list
of the wounded, but for the satisfaction of those who had friends at the camp
meeting, and who may be anxious in regard to their welfare, we are happy to state
that no one was dangerously injured -- and we learn from a gentleman of the
road that no bones were broken; if we except the case of a lady from Alleghany,
who thought that her hip joint had been dislocated, as she was unable to walk,
and had to be taken home from the depot in a carriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid were both in the car,
but they escaped with slight injury.
They have been most unfortunate in the loss of their daughter, who was
just verging upon womanhood. The
fatality is the more distressing as they were not long since called to suffer
the loss of a son, the noble hearted young man who died from injuries received
in a burning building on

Oscar
Myers --- Now that John Burns has suffered the extreme
penalty of the law for the murder of MARY ANN MOATONY, some interest is being excited
as to what will be done with Oscar Myers, for his complicity in that horrible
affair. Myers will be tried at the next
term of the Circuit Court as an accessory to the crime. Mary Ann Smith, who testified upon the trial
of Burns, that after she succeeded in wresting the bandy billy
from Burns, upon the night of the tragedy, Myers took it from her and gave it
back to the former, is now confined in jail as a witness against Myers. By her it is expected to sustain the charge
now pending against Myers. It is harldy [sic] possible that Burns statement
, to the effect that Myers struck the woman with a stone can be
corroborated so as to make him a particeps criminis. It is the opinion, therefore, of legal
gentlemen who understand the case, that the most that can be done with Myers is
to imprison him in the Penitentiary, which will doubtless be the result of
his trial. Myers, although not more than
seventeen or eighteen years of age, has passed through most of our courts and
has been convicted of various charges which subjected him to imprisonment and
hard labor upon the chain gang. His
character will be of no advantage to him in the coming examination. -- Wheeling

one of the children bring him a log chain, which he put around the neck of the
corpse, and then dragged it across the yard.

wasted body has been consigned to its silent grave, and her soul has winged its

from her children to that home from whence there is no return. She is released from all bodily affliction and relieved from the cares and storms of
life. Her body is now reposing close

Neville had gone to the south entrance or wagon gate, whence he was followed by
Myers, who struck him from behind, and
smashed his brains out almost instantly.
Several persons saw the deed done, but were at too great a distance to
prevent it. Myers,
acknowledges that he committed the deed, and intimates that he can hang for it
without a feeling of regret. He is
evidently a hardened wretch. No cause is
known to exist for the murder, and Myers assigns so provocation, though, he
says he has a reason which is satisfactory to himself. We understand that he has made threats that
he would kill the son of the chaplain, and he has been punished a number of
times for insabordination [sic]. We presume he will be tried for the murder at

Sentence

The Court House was yesterday crowded by a
large audience, to witness the final proceedings in the case of Albert Meyer
for the murder of BARTLITT NEVILLE, at the Penitentiary. No motion was made for a new trial by the
counsel for the defence [sic], as the trial had been
fair and impartial, the evidence conclusive and the counsel perhaps considered
it hopeless to attempt to prolong the life of their unfortunate client. Judge Bates, before he passed the sentence,
made a few solemn, impressive and touching remarks, which affected everybody
present but the prisoner to whom they were addressed.
The Judge then sentenced the prisoner to
be hung by the neck untill [sic] dead, in the county
prison, on Friday, the third day of September next, between the hours of ten
o clock A. M. and two o clock P.M.
The prisoner, who, during the remarks of

An old man whose real name is JOHN
PHILLIPS, but who is better known as Old Crowder, has been for years in the Penitentiury. [sic] He was imprisoned, we believe, in 1831, for
murder, and has for a long time been considered very
weak in intellect. He was harmless and
unoffending, and latterly been permitted to do pretty much as he pleased. He used to feed the bear in the yard, and
made pets of the animals he came in contact with.___ He used to take tools in his cell and
a small charcoal furnace, and would tinker away until a late hour at
night. No one paid much attention to
him. Night before last he was locked up
in his cell as usual, where he was heard at work. He used to close up the door, so that no one
could see what he did inside; and on yesterday (Friday) morning he was found
dead. It is supposed that he was
suffocated by the fumes of charcoal, his closing the
door prevented his escape.
Upon opening his cell it was found that he
had several suits of citizen s clothing which he had collected somehow, a number
of dies to make counterfeit coin, a belt around his waist, in which was eighty
dollars in silver, and a large sum of old shin plasters and counterfeit
coin. He had,
also three pistols, which he manufactured himself, and some powder, which had

-- In
The deceased was born in Belmont county,
in this State, on the first day of December 1795, and was removed with his
parents to Seneca township in this county, at an early age, and on his
shoulders rested, in an eminent degree the task of opening up a home in the
wilderness, and most nobly did his strong arm prove adequate to the task,
brooking every difficulty and suffering all the privitations
[sic] incident to the first settlers of a new country. In 1819 he married the inestimable lady he
now leaves behind him, and commenced opening up, in the forest, another home
for himself and family where he has ever since resided. From his house, the hungry was
never turned empty away, nor the needy without having their wants
supplied. Mr. S. was a worthy and
acceptable member of the Christian Church, and in an eminent degree did he show
forth the character of the true christian,
not only by precept but by example in an upright walk and a chaste
conversation. In his death the Church
has lost a bright ornament and a long tried pillar, the community has lost one
of its oldest and best citizens, the family has lost a faithful and confiding
husband, and a loving, kind and indulgent father. For the last few months of his life he
suffered much from disease contracted many years since by fatigue, exposure and
excessive labor, and a short time before his death he went to

He occupies his mind, in a great measure,
with humming negro songs, and in entertaining whatever

bible, to which he occasionally turns in a sort of listless, careless manner,
as if he could not bring himself to understand their use. We believe he has not yet expressed or

The sapling integration isn't up to us, and 6 months (april is the latest it would be deployed).
For the commerce portal... we can't just slap a wix site together and let people add links.
Think silk road.
The website has to have legal advice and council prior to creation.
In addition, we have to finish the payment plugins as well as market to stores to get it in use.
Can shops start using the plugins in a month or so, probably. A new community member reached out today to help with new integrations on that front.
Will we have a fully operational Shopping portal in 30 days, not that I know of, but I am not talking anything off the table.

Trumps signs bill to crack down on animal cruelty
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump has signed a bill that makes certain acts of animal cruelty a federal felony, saying it's important for the nation to combat "heinous and sadistic acts of cruelty."
The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act prohibits extreme acts of cruelty when they occur in interstate commerce or on federal property.
The legislation expands on a 2010 law that targeted videos depicting the crushing or torturing of animals, but that did not prohibit the underlying conduct. Under the new law, the underlying acts of cruelty would be a federal crime.
An array of animal rights groups attended a signing ceremony Monday in the Oval Office. Holly Gann of the Animal Wellness Foundation says the legislation will "better protect some of the most vulnerable among us."

"The Wings of the Dove" --which is "inspired by the novel by Henry James," according to the press notes-- lifts James' basic situation and characters but ignores the extensive backstories that clutter the book, as well as the judgmental tone the author seemed to take toward his anti-heroine Kate Croy (luminously played by Helena Bonham Carter). Kate is rescued from a life of destitution with her opium-addict father (Michael Gambon) by a generous but domineering Aunt Maude (Charlotte Rampling) who frowns on Kate's beloved, a penniless journalist named Merton Denscher (Linus Roache). Marriage to Merton is out of the question, since it would mean Kate being cut off from both 1910 London society and her aunt's much-needed money. "You make her sound like a witch," gasps Kate's new friend Milly (Alison Elliott), when Kate crabs about Maude's restrictions on her. "Oh no," Kate says, "she can't fly. . .yet."
Milly, an American innocent with millions in the bank, an eye for Merton and a cough like Camille's, becomes Kate's unlikely passport to happiness. What if Merton could be persuaded to woo the terminally ill heiress? Then she might leave him her fortune, making it possible for Kate to escape Maude's clutches and marry the man of her choice.
"The Wings of the Dove" is almost a sort of turn-of-the-century "Indecent Proposal," with the canals of Venice standing in for the casinos of Vegas. But though Hossein Amini's eloquent screenplay brings to the surface the eroticism James only hinted at, it doesn't neglect the fascinating psychology of the characters, all of whom have their own agendas and desires to satisfy. Director Ian Softley (best known for "Backbeat") keeps the picture sailing along at a surprisingly brisk pace for a period-piece, and he's gotten exceptional performances from everyone in his cast, particularly Roache, who conveys Merton's troubled conscience exquisitely, and Carter, who makes sure we understand Kate's scheming is motivated by love and desperation, and not by maliciousness.
One of the fascinating sidelights in "Dove" deals with a skid-row doctor who "repairs" child prostitutes and sends them back out on the streets with "virginity certificates"; though the Age of Innocence is gone, those British do like to keep up appearances. James Sanford

Film review by Kevin Patterson
THE BOXER Rating: *** (out of four) R, 1997 Director: Jim Sheridan Screenplay: Jim Sheridan & Terry George Starring Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Emily Watson, Brian Cox, Ken Stott, Gerald McSorley
At its root level, Jim Sheridan's THE BOXER is a commentary on the political strife that plagues Northern Ireland and a challenge to both sides to put down the guns. But rather than focusing on the violence itself, it fashions a political statement by showing us how the "Troubles" have affected everyday people.
Daniel Day-Lewis stars in the lead as Danny Flynn, a former IRA member who has just finally finished his 14-year prison sentence for terrorist activities and no longer wants anything to do with the violent side of the Republican movement. He and his former girlfriend Maggie (Emiliy Watson) quickly discover that they are still in love, but she was married to another prisoner many years ago. Because she is a "prisoner's wife," her marriage, though she herself no longer believes in it, carries political significance: if it breaks up, it stands as a sign of disunity among Republican forces. Day-Lewis and Watson perform admirably, portraying their relationship with almost no cliche or cheesiness, and I particularly enjoyed the way they found themselves drifting back together without consciously trying to do so.
Danny, in the meantime, has teamed up with his friend Ike Weir (Ken Stott) to start a non-sectarian boxing club in Belfast. He is not without enemies, most notably Harry (Gerald McSorley), an IRA hard-liner who wants nothing to do with the emerging peace agreement. Joe Hamill (Brian Cox), Maggie's father, is a moderate IRA leader who would like to settle for peace, but he disapproves of his daughter's relationship with Danny because of the political element.
There is, I suspect, a temptation for filmmakers to take politically controversial material like that of THE BOXER and fashion an extremely intense and volatile story around it. Sheridan and co-writer Terry George take a different approach: the tone of their film is more sad and regretful than anything else, augmented partly by their decision to shoot most of the scenes in bluish, hazy cinematography. When a bomb goes off during the first match at the boxing club and rioting breaks out in the streets, Sheridan chooses not to stage a pumped-up action sequence and instead gets his audience to share in the disappointment of Danny and Ike that their attempt to hold a peaceful gathering between Catholics and Protestants has failed.
As a matter of fact, one problem that THE BOXER runs into is that it is so far removed from the mentality of violence that the violent pasts of Danny and Joe are never quite convincing.  Danny is less of a problem, given that he left the IRA at a young age, but sometimes he seems too mild-mannered even for boxing, much less terrorism.
Sheridan also runs into a structural problem in that none of the conflicts in THE BOXER have easy solutions. (After all, if they did, Northern Ireland might have had peace years ago.) He and co-writer George accordingly force a "big confrontation" at the end which basically relies on McSorley's character turning into a complete loose cannon. It solves the characters' personal problems, but not the political conflicts that gave rise to them. I'm not saying that the screenplay should have tried to solve the political conflicts, as this would have been completely unrealistic, but this ending just didn't seem to work: it was as if they were trying to fake dramatic closure instead of simply acknowledging its impossibility.
Films that receive the three-star rating from me generally fall into two categories: those that are only moderately ambitious in the first place and just try to entertain for a little while (e.g. THE GAME or AUSTIN POWERS), and those that have lofty goals and solid underlying ideas but don't quite cross all the Ts and dot all the Is (e.g. GATTACA or THE END OF VIOLENCE). THE BOXER is an example of the latter: the execution is sloppy in a few places, but its heartfelt examination of the "Troubles" is enough to make it a good film.

Hey, I'm Steven. Seeing something I've created in motion gives me goosebumps, so I strive to find areas in my life where I can make that happen. I've built sensor stations, RC trucks, and automated systems for manufacturing. I take electronics apart and put them together. I write code for automated systems like self-driving cars. I pursue opportunities to influence the next generation of robotics and automation. I have a Bachelor's of Engineering in Computer Engineering and have completed Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program.
I write Python scripts, shell scripts, and full desktop applications. I write clean, maintainable, version-controlled code.
I write firmware for PIC, ARM microcontrollers using Nordic's API for Bluetooth LE enabled devices, and Arduino-compatible devices. I work in C, C++, and assembly.
From CAD to manufacture and soldering, I design circuitry and PCBs that control consumer wearables and automated manufacturing systems.
I work with RC cars, self-driving cars, and automated moving sensor systems.
I work with Keras and scikit-learn to create and train classifiers and convolutional neural networks in Python and C++. I use R and Python for statistical analysis.
I implement kernels, perform image pre-processing for machine learning, and use OpenCV.
My work at Shade as lead electrical engineer involved developing the prototype for our second generation ultraviolet light dosimiter. This involved circuit design, component research, and working with mechanical engineers to design a case. I'm responsible for writing the firmware and creating the programming fixture for the device.

can someone explain why
{"method":"validateaddress","params":["RGfw56VB4mjLHjgZYCokw18w1knmcKcVi6"]}
returns valid 200 response, but
{"method":"gettransaction","params":["3a49cf6441ec58e95936a27d498305f31822ffdcc5ddd987acacc9d8efa05697"]}
yields a 500 bad request? when looking at komodo-cli help, the way the params are set up look the same
