case. The court denied the, molten OF Col.

plea of not guilty.
Mr.. Mcpherson moved that the accused
be granted separate trials. The motion was
denied, when Mr.. Mcpherson again moved
that the Judge Advocate elect whether the
parties be tried Is principals or accessories
Col. Foster said he would not amend his
specification; he would not consider the
parties as principals or accessories, but
would try them upon the chsrges as set
forth in the specification. The charges were
not drawn up as an indictment OF the com>
mon law, but as such papers are usually
drawn in proceedings before military courts
MIR. Gillette argued that it was the duty
of the court to compel the Judge Advocate
to elect how he would try the several par.
ties, whether as principals or accessories.-
The man who is to be defended as an &C
cessory has one line of defense, and the
principal another. The evidence in either
case must be different and judgment must
be different. Mr. McPhsrson's motion was
denied The court then took recess until

LOUISVILLE, November 4.-Last Tuesday
night Sue Munday's gang of cut threats
surrounded the house of Mr. Harper, two
miles south of Midway. They made the old
gentleman prisoner, and, without the
slightest provocation, murdered their vic
tim In the most cowardly and brutal mans
ner. Mr.. Harper was Unionist, which is
the only excuse the outlaw, bad for the
perpetration of the inhuman outrage. 1t
does 81 EN- that Sue Munday is lost to every
