CRIMINAL COURT H. Hunter,
murder case of the State vs..
Joseph Denlon is still on trial in this
Court. The principal evidence against
the prisoner is the dying declaration of
the deceased, with some Gircumstantial
evidence going to c~orr0bOrRte the same.
The State rested its cas- on yesterday
and the defense introduced witnesses TO
prove that the murder had been commit
ted by a negro man unknown, instead of
by the prisoner. The first witness intro
duced testified that Mrs. DOnlon in
formed him on the night Of the shooting,
aud also ON the day Of her death, that
she had been shot by snegro whom she
had refused to credit. One of the States
witnesses testified the same. There are
corroborating circumstances going to
substantate this theory. The dying
declarations conflict, as the deceased
charged her death upon her husband, and
also upon q negro, unknown. This re-
markable contradiction is a strange feA-
ture in the case. We do not propose
giving an opinion as TO the guilt or innO-
