SEVENTH DAY.

AUGUSTA March 81, 1913.
Mr.. Evans addressed the Court and jury in
behalf of the prisoner -
am now about to perform, feebly am SEN
sible, the duty which devolves upon me as
counsel for the prisoner. l am about to adj
dress to you the last words which shall fall
upon yonr ears before your decision settles the
fate of the prisoner Not in my hands, thank
God, is the csponsibility-it rests upon you,
gentlemen of the jury. 1t is fearful, terri
lie responsibility, for falliable men to pro-
nounce the doom WEIGH sends to the unseen
world, in the prime vigor of life, fellow being
even though deeply degraded-stained with
many vices-one who has filled up the meas
ure of his guilt. How still more responsible,
to decide thus the fate of one whose life here
tofore has been irreproachable, suspected of
no vices, the centre of a large circle-.whose
misfortunes has stricken many hearts Mr.
E. appealed to the jury to beware of any bias,
until fheir verdict is agreed upon-until GER
tainty fixes upon their minds, that the guilt of
the prisoner is beyond doubt. Bear in mind
thBt the government must make the guilt of
the prisoner manifest. There is in such caser
to be no weighing of evidence no preponder-
ance of proof In capital trials, the proof is
to be satisfactory and conclusive. This is the
consolation of the jury-that they cannot be
called upon to pronounce the prisoners guilt,
until every reasonable doubt is removed.
This case presents several strong and re-
markabe features
That the deceased. Edward Mathews, came
to his death on the night of the both Septem-
| err, cannot be doubted-and that after his
death some person inflicted blows to convey
the idea that he had been murdered Who
ever heard of such cases Who ever heard
of case whore after muir der, means were
used to make that murder known? The effort

Who can say what change takes place in
the human system after death? The sto-
mach in life is great laboratory, in which
chemical action is constantly going on.
One learned gentleman, skilful physician
bul not chemist, says that these tests are
as conclusive as the testimony of three
witnesses. How can he say that, when he
admits he does not know what changes
take place in the system which he knows
not of? He knows what he has met with.
not what others have met with. 1t is as
conclusive as the evidence of three foreign
ers, whose language we do not understand
that is all we can safely say. There is
then the uncertainty as to the identity of
the conlents Of the stomach the fact tina.
that it was exposed in an open place, and
afterwards shut up in close ice house, the
ice out, and nothing there but fn,id air, and
decaying saw dust. Who can say what
change this might produce?

o1Ohe of the most remarkable instances OF
the success which attends well applied en-
,srgy, and perseverance, is exhibited in the
case of DE-. David Jayne, of Philadelphia,
with whose advertisements the readers OF
the, Register are familiar. The Doctor, af-
ter spending many years Of his life in prac-
tice, and q careful investigation Of the ORR
lin and character Of diseases, applied him
aSeff to the preparation Of remedies, and
The excellence Of his compounds is attested
BY the, grateful thanks Of thousands, who
have proved the benefits of his skill and
scientific knowledge. His are not mere
quack nostrums, but preparations result
ingfrom long and careful study, and as they
serve, in an eminent degree, the good pur-
poses for which they we're intended, sue
cess has followed the proprietoI's enter
prise'and labors. His establishment Is now
one Of the largest in the United States, and
besides furnishing every city, town, and
township in the country with his i~nvalua-
BE medicines, he ships, annually, immense
quantities to foreign lands.
In the prosecution Of his plans for bring
Jag i Ispeciics to the notice of the whole
people, DR.. Jayne has issued a Family AL
manae, containing certificates and testimo-
uisls Of The highest character. We see it
stated in the Germantown Telegraph, that
sisst year, me million Of the Almanacs
we're published for 1s4s, and all distribut-
ed. This year, the demand for l649 is SO
great, that two power presses, driven BY
steam, are. running day and night, with a
double set of hands, and are unable to meet
the demands of the public for the Alma
macs. Indeed, Messrs. Stavely& M'Calla.
who do the press-work, have found it pec-
esssry, to meet the wants of the publisher,
to obtain a third pO,Oer press! Toe mil
lions Gnda half copies will be required for
1S49, consuming from twelve to fifteen
thousand reams Of paper. and mourning an
expense, at the very small rate of two cents
each copy, and we cannot see how they
can be furnished at so low a price-of fifty
thousand dollars! This is wonderful, ex-
hibiting, as it does, one Of the most re-
markable instances of enterprise on record.
But it must be remembered that this
large sum, which is a fortune of itself, is en-
tirely given a~way--the whole two millions
and q half of Ainanacs are gratuitously
given to merchants, storekeepers, families
and individuals, with a view to their gener-
al gratuitous distribution throughout the
United States.
The position of DR.. Jayne is an enviable
one-achieved by his own unaided energy,
industry, and misunderstanding largely
from an extensive knowledge Of medical
iurisprudence-and he now stands at the
hsad Of she discoveries of medicines for 'the
miiiitn.' which. have not only been pro-
nolnced to be unequalled as remedies, for
the deceases severally set apart by the
proprietor, Sc, but destined to confer upon
this human family i~ncalculable benefits in
the form Of restored health, and prolonged

confined entirely to my bed, and for week:
together could not move my neck or turn
my head. Several physicians attended me
at different times-but they did not appear
to do me any good.
About q year ago ] was attacked with
vomiting, which Continued every few min
utes all one night. The next day eruption
appeared on'the side Of my neck, which
soon spread ell over my neck, head and
face, with inflammation Of my eyes and eye
lids, which destroyed my eye-lashes, and
caused the hair to fall from off my head.
and soon the disease spread all over me;
my limbs were one entire scab. ] could
not bend my hands or arms without caus-
ing the skin to crack open, when, the blood
wonld run out. Some of my -iLger-nails
came of. In short, I was unable to get my
