BALTIMORE COUNTY coURT-JUDoE PRICE

~
This Court was engaged yesterday in the trial of
Robert Miller, indicted for the murder of Franklin
Naif. We have received a report of the proceed
ngs up to the time of the adjourning of the Court
for dinner. No new evidence was elected, and the
circumstances attending that murder have been so
often detailed in this paper that it is not worth
while to print them again.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
After the State had closed, the defence examined
several witnesses who had previously testified in
the cases connected with this murder in Baltimore
The only new testimony brought out was the fol-
lowing: Wesley Woodward, swoTn.-Was not
present in Lovely lane at the time Naff was shot,
but witness and Mr.. Walters were going up the
lane; when about one-third way up the alley saw
Naif leaning against the wall and told him that he
(Woodward) was justice of the peace and he
should go with him; NaH asked what for and r
rush was made towards Witness some person struck
witness over the head with billy, and he let 90 of
Naff and went out of the alley to Calvert street;
when witness reached Calvert street pistol shot
fired in the alley, and witness went in the allev
again and Naff near where he first saw him;
asked him to come out of the alley, when Natf said
"thats very well, after you've shot me-" Naf in
quired for his hat and Miller walked up and picked
the hat up and placed it on Naf's head; Naff then
asked witness to take him to physician; witness
and another man took Naff to Coleman &
Rogers drug store on Baltimore street; on
the way Natf again asked witness what
he shot him for; witness was arrested
tried and acquitted; when witness had hold
of Naf, endeavoring to get him out of the alley,
Broderick. one of Naff's party, pointed pistol at
witness face; witness was friend Of Naffs, and
that was the reason he tried to get him out of the
alley; Natf was struck with a club and general
row ensued, but witness cannot say who struck a
blow; when witness entered the alley the second
time, and Naff was shot, Miller followed him from
Calvert street, and witness is most sure that at
the time the pistol was fired and Naff fell, Miller
was standing Calvert street and not in the alley.
R. Stocket Matthews took the stand and testif-
ed that he had been retained as counsel for Wesley
Woodward, and after that trial was retained as
counsel for Miller; called upon ex-poceman Sta
pletord, the first witness in the case, for informa-
ton in regard to the affair, and he told witness
that he Robt Miller and Woodward run out OF
the alley; that heh had known Miller from childhood
and could not be mistaken in the man. but after
wards found that he mistaken, it being Edward
Miller and not Robert.-At o'clock p. NJ, the
testimony in, and the Court took recess until
tomorrow, when the case will be argned, John II.
Sellman, Esq, assisting in the prosecution, and r.
Stocket Matthews and Richard Grason, Esdrs for
the defence.
