on for the Murder Of G,bhn.--A called Court
of Justices was held in the City Hall y.ster-
day, for the examination of Charles GAYLORD,
George p. Wilson and William H. Robey,
charged with stabbing and won nding William
Giblin on the 26th of May of which wound he
died on the eth of July. The evidence showed

fist fight with one of the parties, while Robey
and Giblin were also engaged-thus exone-
rating Gay lord and Wilson from the stabbing

night, and that hs voluntarily stated that he
had fought and cut an Irishman. Under these

wounded the morning before by her brother

mad escaped. Miss Thorn, IL Is said, suffered
ass sse most excrnciatipg pain for several hours
aIter she was shot, and died Of her injuries
snat night between the hours Of II and I2 o'clk.
Ies,eroay morning, Justice King, Of Henrico,
, nelu an inquest over the body when the fol-
lowing iacts were elected = -s.
For some time previous n IN a sho.,,. ro,,r
ana "iiiam Inom's family, with whom ha
lived, had had frequent spats. and ON The xsrv
gay before the murder Thorn had forbid him
MS nouse,and lofty was seen to have A nistol
with " which he said he intended to shoot Inc
old man, at the same time calling him hard
names. On the morning of the murder be-
tween the hours Of and o'clock Miss 4, T
Thorn, Mrs. Elizabeth Adams and child, ana
young man, named Pleasant Orange, went
into the kitchen, and the ladies took seats at
the breakfast table. They had been sitting
there but n short time, when Totty came In
Thorn asked him to have breakfast. He de-
clined, and asked her If she would 60 away
with him. She replied that shs would not
He then drew two pistols from his pockets
and placed them on the table, and on her again
declining to leave home with him, he told her
to take one Of the pistols and shoot him, and
that he would shoot her with the other. She
told him not TO be so foolish, and on seeing h i'm
pick up the pi ,tols and aim one of thaIa St
her, she attempted to seize it, at v hich he fred,
the ball entering her stomach about three
inches above the navel and passing through
her, lodging in the muscles of the back near
the spinal column. from which place it was
soon after removed by DR.. Lewis. Totty then
fled, and had not been arrested yesterday
morning.
Miss Thorn stated to DR.. Lewis that Totty
shot her. She said there had been trou ubls-that
he had been trying for three weeks to induce
her to go away with him, but that she had
steadily refused to do so-that he told her he
would kill ber if she did not go-and that
Mrs. Adams knew the fact. She said he caSas
10 the fence on Tuesday night and repeated the
proposition and the tarsat.
Ine bail, which was ex xtracted, weighed one
sixth of an ounce, and DIR. Lewis stated that
the wound had caused her death.
The jury after hearing such facts as were
stated by the dying woman 10 Or. Lewis, aud
such as they could draw from Mrs. Adams
and Pleasant Orange, by quest tons, rendered

A GREAT WILL CASE IN NORTH CAROLINA
Ons Hundred Negroes Set Frse.-The Iredell
IN. o. Express states that the case of Solo
mon Hairs will occupied the Superior Court
of that county eight d-ys, and was finally
compromised after the jury had retired. Mr..
Hall had made a will leaving 100 negroes and
other property to his only child, a daughter.
who afterwards married Mr.. Nicely against his
wish whereupon he made another will, leav-
ing his negroes free and leaving most of his
property to them. The suit was to set aside
the last will. An hour after the case had gone
TO the jury, Mrs. Neely's counsel proposed to
receive $4,000 and 81 900 which the will gave
her; the estate to pay the Court costs, $500, she
to pay her own lawyer SIS, 900. The proposition
was accepted. The negroes will be sent to Lii
IBERIA. The jury stood nine against and three
for the will but it is said the Judge would
have set aside the verdict If it had been against
the will.
