The prisoner was tried in 1868 before Judge
Heistand, and found guilty An appeal was taken
exceptions to the ruling of the Court, that the
jury were not judges of the law and the facts
judges only Of the facts. The Supreme Court held
that the Court erred in its charge, and sent tile
case back for trial. The same witnesses that ap-
peared on the former trial were present yesterday
The substance of the testimony for the state was,
that the accused and deceased met accidentally
in the house Of Mrs, Lamb. DescoVitch asked
Jurche TO pay him bill owed by the latter.
Jurche refused. An alteration then ensued, and
the prisoner was seen to place his hand III his
breast. The next seen was that Daseoviteh had a
chair uplifted, and was stabbed twice BY the ac-
clsed-tthrough the heart by both wounds,
TEN examination. Mrs. Mctinire ran to
the prisoner and after receiving two wounds,
succeeded in getting the knife from him.
He then fed, but was pursued aud appre.
hended. One Of the witnesses testified to herring
the deceased eXclai1l, I. Don't cut me- ana nj.
armed The Witnesses who saws the chair up-
lifted, testified yesterday that they could not tell
whether it was raised for purposes of defense or
aggression. @ 8 ~ zs5.i 's n 4 #&s5s5 s NJ
The defense only introduced one witness, eyre.
corder Nennard, the evidence written at the time
having been lost, with view Of showing that
when the witnesses were examined before him in
1862, they had stated that the chair had been
raised for the purpose of striking. Mr.. Vennard,s
evidence showed that there was no inconsistency
between the testimony given yesterday and that
offered when the examination took place before
The case was then argued for the State by At
torney General Heron aud District Attorney Full,
Ter. and for the, defense by MIR. John Henderson
