The Circuit Court Of Jefferson County Judge
Richard Parker on the bench, assembled at two
o'clock The Grand Jury were called, apd the Magis-
trate's Court reported the result Of the exanipson
in the Of Cspt Brown and the other prisoners.
The Grand Jury retired with the witnesses for the
State. At five O'Clock they returned into Court, and
stated that they had not finished the examination Of
witnesscs, and they were therefore discharged until
ten O'Clock tomorrow morning. 1t ia rumOred that
Brown is DESTROYS of making full statement of his
motives and intentions, through the press but the
Court he's refused all further access ID bin by report
ers fearing that he may put forth something calculs
ted TO Influence the public mind, and to have bad
effect upon slaves. Tie mother Of Cooks wife was
in the Cont House throughout the examination. The
general belief lie that he is still n the mountains
the Ferry. On Sunday night, woman WOO keepsa
canal lock says he to her house and asked the
privilege to warm himself. She knows him well aud
is relative of his wife.
Coffee says that he had brother in the party and
that Brown had three in it, Also that there were
two other perso u.s. named Tsy and Haslet engaged
so that, numbering Cook, five have escaped, twelve
were kilIed and five captured, making twenty-five in
all.
Beyond doubt the trial will commence tomorrow
morning, although much difficulty is anticipated in
obtaining 8 jury.
Capt Browns objec. in refusing the aid OF counsel
IL, tba; ii no has counsel he will not be allowed to
speak himself and Southern counsel will not be willing
to express his views.
The given for buyryng the trial is that the
people of the whole country srs kept in stste Of ex'
element ard large armed force lie required to pre-
vent attempts at rescue.
1t presumed that they will demand separate tr-
els. After conviction bat few days will be given
them before their execution.
It's thought that all but Brown will make full con-
fesson.
Tie prisoners az brought into the Court, presented
a pitiabe eight-Brown and Stevens being unable to
stard without assistance. Brown has three sword
stabs in his body and ons sabercut over the hesrt.
