question he saw deceased lying in the yard,
covered with blood, and on interrogating Smith
he replied that he had hurt her. Witness could
not say whether prisoner was drunk at the
time.
! George Tate also testified that when Smith
was arrested, he looked upon the body of his
wife and acknowledged that he had inflicted the
blows, and that he was willing to be hanged
for it.
! The counsel for the defense, Mr.. Eyrehart,
| introduced two or three witnesses to show that
the prisoner and deceased had lived amicably
together previous to the commission of the
murder. An attempt was also made to show
that the prisoner was intoxicated at the time of
the murder, but this had but little effect upon
the minds Of the jury. The case was submitted
at about 10 o'clock, and after being out about
five minutes the jury rendered verdict Of
ssGuilty" The prosecution was conducted by
the Attorney General.
