a Question from Mr.. George Tucker, of coun-
sci Tor defendant, rs TO whether he knew Hody-
kins, he replied substantially that he was a
schooimate of his in his youth. That after.
wards he lost sight OF HOdgkins for SOM ten
years. That the first time he did see defendant
after this period, was on the occasion OF n visit
he paid TO Methodist camp meeting in Lon
doun that he there saw Hodgkins on the out
side OF the camp, selling whisky, and that he
mad with hiIn cards, dice, and other gambling
paraphernaiia. Mr. Hodgkins. who was sitting
IN the rear Ofhis counsel at the time, ON hearing
the testimony arose, and with consida rable eu
pbasis said, 'sYou are "a liar! ~ Some confusion
necessarily ensued at this interruption. in The

The Prisoner McCauley-His Murderous
Attack Premeditated.

The prisoner George McCauley, whose muir
derous attack on the boy Thomas Kinley (who
was the principal witness against him) in the
courtroom was noticed in the STAR of yester-
day, Is now safely ironed in the jail, but needs
constant watching. as he is said by the guards
70 be the best hand 10 cut of irons that they
have ever had there; and he still evinces the
most reYengeful spirit toward Kinley
When he was first committed to yaIl, in a
conversation with one of the guards. he said
that he lnteLded 10 plead guilty, and if the
Judge gave him light sentence he would take
ltquietly; but If he gave him 4 large one he in
tended 10 Kill that boy at the risk Ofhs life n
this talk was. however, thought by the guards
to be mere ''blowiHg," and no attention was
paid TO At; but from this tact and the circum-
stance that just before ~ was taken to the court
room last week, a siuug shot made of
piece of brick wrapped in a piece of blan-
ket was found on his premises, it would seem
that his premeditated purpose was TO ayenge
himself ON this boy, whom he had persuaded
To aid him IN his exploits. Yesterday he re-
marked, on returning TO his cell, that if they
would put the boy in the cell two minutes with
him, they might then take him out and han y
MIN On his way 10 the Jail he stated that he
had Trends In the court house who intended TO
Kill the boy. and the reason why he had not
been killed before was because 1T had been agreed
between him and them that he should do il
IN open Court He also stated when questioned
by Warden Heustis and the guards that the
knife vas given him by a colored boy IN the
Court House. A few weeks since he was IN a
cell with a prisoner who had on his legs the
heavy Navy case hardened irons which il was
thought could not be cut and yet, while the
prisoner was asleep, McCauley cut them off
and threw them down q flue
The Grand Jury Yesterday made present
mCnts against McCauIey, which will, proba-
bly, be followed by indictments on Monday, and
