The Trial of Col. Hull, Late Warden
of the PenItenffary.

of the PenItentiary.
This case is not yet concluded, the de-
Tense not having examined all their wit
nssses. We give the following resume:
The defendant is charged with having
committed perjury in his testimony before
the Joint Committee Of the Senate and
House Of Representatives, during the in
yesligation of the Legislature into the
cause Of, and the losses sustained by the
burning Of portion Of the State Peniten-
tiary, which came up on the application of
the lessees of that institution TO have a re-
duction made of the charges for the labor
of the convicts-they insisting that they
were seriously embarrassed by the losses
sustained by the fire. We have heretofore
published the testimony Of Hull before
said committee. William III. Ferguson,
the prosecutor, insists that Hull committed
perjury in stating the value Of the property
of the lessees destroyed, placing it far be-
yond its real value; in stating that the
guards were worthless, and that the Direc-
tors would not let him hire or discharge
them; in stating that Ferguson was guard
in the portion Of the building consumed
by the fire at the time it occurred in sta
ting that he had previously discharged
Ferguson for drunkenness, sleeping on duty,
and leaving his post, and that Colonel Hare
had sent him back.
Thecause will be resumed to-day at three
o'clock P. NJ. VIM. G. Brien, Esq, and
Mr.. Rankin are counsel for the State, and
Captain Allen and Judge Lowering for the
defendant.
The cause is being tried before Esquire
Wilkinson, and has now consumed nearly
a week. 1t will certainly be concluded
to-day.
