Trial Of 7aomos s. Baker--Jsdge Fields
.f,as Presiding, &c. @
ORANGE q. H., May S, 1855.
Dear Dispatck:-The Court met this morn.
ing. according to adjournment, at half past
o o'clock. The examination of the Com
manwealth' 3 witnesses not being concluded
Yesterday, il was resumed to day. After The
continuation Of four for the Commonwealth .
the plaintiff announced TO the Court that the
defendants witnesses might be called. SO
some of his witnesses were absent and could
not possibly be in attendance to day. The
Court then went into the examination of the
prisoner witnesses, which occupied its at
tention until half past 4 o. clock, when Il ad.
journed over until Monday morning, at IL
o'clock. at which time the examination of
the prisoners witnesses will be resumed. -
There is still q large number Of witnesses to
beexamined. which win probably occupy
the attention of the Court during Monday.
and probably greater portion of Tuesday.
The evidence, thus far adduced, clearly
proves the insanity of the prisoner at times.
Ii is expected there will be great display of
talent on this occasion, and we are looking
forward to the close of the Court with =
great deal Of interest.
Below send you list of the jurors, which
has been made up from the different counties

The weather has been quite cool here since
the rain. and we had slight frost last night;
but believe the farmers have sustained lit.
tie or no damage by it. Yours, Z.
This trial of Baker, as our corresponding
has stated, is for the murder of Oliver
Brown and VIM. Gibson, at Gordonsyille.
some months since. The circumstances were
stated in the Dispatch 1t the time. The three
had been gambling at cards. in the woods
near Gordonsville, and getting into dis.
pute, Baker was beaten by Brown. we be.
hsve-Gibson, IS Baker alleged, aiding and
abetting in the assault. Upon the parties re.
turning to the village, Baker procured gun
and fred upon Brown and Gibson, as they
were leaving grocery, killing them both
1t appears from the evidence brought in,
that the plea of insanity is set up by the de-
fence. t@@
