in the Ward trial. ever played cards in the county jail
Furthermore promises to get the certificates the WARDS
that the ex-turnkey, John sherey, played carn

We have confidence in any statement OF Col Brckners
since he is gentleman and Christian. Nevertheless
in immediate attendance at the prison Besides Barlow
seems TO have peculiar faculty Of being present In
places and at times when no else Is Of his pre-
sence.

From the Louisville Times April so
The meeting OF the Court House last night very
uproarious A vast crowd assembled many OF them
doubtless attracted by motives Of curiosity. The
large in the house and the yard aud the street in
front were filed with people Resolutions passed
both inside and outside the Court House, they were
highly denunciaory OF The Hardin County jury and
Armmaiory in their character Mr.. Crttenden was
auested resign his seat in the Senate OF the United
States and Mr. Wolfe his in the Senate Of Kentucky
Both these gentlemen will doubtless pay due respect u
these Polite invitations. II the Demonstration had
stopped there it would have been harmless and the gen
tleinen burnt in egy have considered 1t very silly and
ridiculous joke. But the passions aroused could be
satisfied without the destruction OF property Mr. R.

timely exertons OF the dremen large crowd after
wards assembled in front OF the residence OF Mr wofs
