The Fatal Rencontrc In Charleston.

"
A Coroner's jury was summoned yesterday, at IL
o'clock, to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Ro-
bert Leckie, umbrella manufacturer, 179 King
street, and q verdict rendered that he came to
his death by wound from a pistol ball discharged
by Mr. j. Augustus Hall, Of this city. The circum-
stances attending this fatal event. as they trans-
pred In the evidence before the inquest, are briefly
US follows The parties had met the day previous,
and offensive language had passed between them.
Yesterday, Mr.. Leckie, expressing n determination
to have satisfaction, borrowed six barrclled re-
volver from friend, which he carried to n gun
smith, by whom it was put in order and loaded
Armed with this weapon, and accompanied by a
FRIEND he proceeded TO Mr.. Halls place Of business
in King street, called him to the door, and demand
cd satisfaction. Mr.. Hall expressed his willingness
TO give him all the satisfaction he desred but re-
minded him that that was proper place for the
settlement.
The parties then moved along King and turned
into Beaufain street Here Mr.. Leckie repeated his
demand for satisfaction on which Mr. Hall faced
about, and the parties about six feet apart stimuli
taneously drew their revolvers, and exchanged two
shots in rapid succession. At Mr.. Halls second
shot, Mr. Leckc, placing his hand to his right side,
retreatcd into the store Of Mr.. G. W. DeLand by
the side door After brief pause, Mr.. Hall passed
by the door,. on his return to King street, which
Mr. Leckie observing, stepped out, fred third shot
at his antagonists back, and then retreated within
the door. Mr.. Hall turned, and fred in reply, his
ball grazing the edge Of tho doorway. Mr.. Halls
second shot was the only one that took effect. IL
entered the right side Of Mr. ieckc, passed through
the liver, and resulted in his death In less than thr-
" minutes after he received the wound. Mr.. Hall
az proceeded to his lodgings, and sent for an
officer OF police, 10 whom he surrendered himself

CONVERSIONS TO PRorEsyAN rrsn IN GERMANY
According to official reports G4S persons renounced
Catholicism and embraced Professionalism in Silesia
last year. OF these 6lS person 269 were adults, and
the remainder bad already been confirmed. 1nde-
pendently of these, 466 Roman Catholic parents had
their children baptized in the Protestant church, in
1851. These figures are higher in comparison than
in the previous year, 1850 for in the official list for
that year, only 30S converts entered, of whom
1913 were adults. Ia that year, ALSO only Is7 chill
dren of Roman Catholic parentswere baptized in the
Protestant church Of Silesia. II appears that many
persons who had joined the socallcd German Catholic
churches, are now going over to the Protestant
churches, account of the great obstacles which
have been put in the way of the German Catholics.

as TO his identity Mr.. Hall, rather than pcstpene
the trial. had consented to take the statement Of the
brother if be had been the stand and sworn to
it, and IN this form the case went to the jury, who
after very short consultation returned verdict of
guilty. The Recorder observed upon the daring and
at the same time ingenious manner in which the
robbery committed, and sentenced him to the
State prison for five years.
-Acguittfd.-Johp Thompson, a respectable looking
man. was indicted for stealing trunk, the property
of William Wilson, who, as well as himself, was at
the time staying at Lovejoy's Hotel. Mr.. Wilson
had left for England and his evidence had not been
taken. A full affidavit and cross examination Of
Mr. John p. Higgins, the bookkeeper, was road, by
which it appeared that Mr.. Thompson ordered Mrs
wilson's trunk to be taken into his Ct. > room,
where (upon Mr. Wilson's missing it, il was found.
nan an hour afterwards, untouched. THIS was all
the evidence.
Mr.. b. Phillips, for the defence, contended there
was no evidence that the trunk Mr. Wilson at
all; there was only the bookkeepers statement that
he said SO. 1t was Il common thing for a pcrtnan
teau to be taken by mistake at a hotel, and the
conduct OF the prisoner in leaving it untouched til!
found, was not like that of who intended steal
it. The jury, without leaving their seats, acquitted
the prisoner.
Bivglwy-John Lcary, aged IS, John Ryan, 10,
and Patrick Millet, 10, were charged with burglary,
at the hardware store of John Davenport, No. 10
Platt street. on the evening Of the 3Oth of Nav.
about seven o'clock The District Attorney would
only ask for conviction for attempt, and Of this
they were clearly convicted by the evidence Of
Alexander Macett, policeman and YIN. Mesler, pri-
vate watchmap, who caught them in the fact, and
found some burglars instruments upon them. One
of them, when called up, said he daguer-
reotype casemaker, which suggested an idea of the
House of Refuge but he denied ever having been
there. The Recorder ordered them to be renanded,
that some inquiry might be made before exercising
the discretion which the verdict gave the Court in
| passing sentence.
The Jury ia The Late Perjury Cdse-We ascer-
tanned be ond doubt that this jury stood eleven for
conviction and one for acqlital when they dis
charged. A good many different statements have
been made about the court but the above is correct.
