CRIMINAL COURT = Vim. Hunter,
.Tudge.-The testimony on behalf of the
State il the case of the State VS.. John
Cosgrove still continues to be introduced.
This trial is based upon the Indictment
for the killing of Thos. Malone, in the
Criminal Courtroom some months since,
during the primary Investigation on
writ of hsbeas corpus. The principal
testimony against the defendant was the
diving declaration of Malone, coupled
with SEINE circumstantisl evidence vet
upon the hsbess corpus case of the
State We. Pat Dolan, heard some
time since, the proof seemed to be
positive that he (Dolsn) fred the shot
that killed Malone. 1t seems to be a
rule OF criminal law, that where it is in
proof that the shot was fired by two
parties, this conflicting testimony can
only be renledied by an acgnittal of the
prisoner on trial. We do not desire.
however, to comment upon the evidence
introduced while the case Is on trial.
The trial may close this evening and a
verdict may probably be returned by the
Jury at late hour,
