Mr.. Rogers ran at him with q large
dirk knife, open. Little Dick asked
him to takes drink with him, and
that was the reason he was with him. Mr.
Rogers ran him over the railroad, and he
turned and shot him. Whitehead told me
| last night that he started to 60 home with
| Willis. I forgot to state that Willis told me
that he had on Whitehead's cap at the time
of the shooting, and that he dropped il
while running. Willis stated that after the
shooting he ran up the river bank to the
Petersburg railroad bridge, and climbed up
the trestle work, and crossed through the
bridge, and then went down the river bank
on the other side. He was not much ex-
cited at the time, though he appeared tc
have been drinking. He said, "You needn't
think I don't know what I am talking about,
for do" I made no promise of any kind
to him. He volunteered to tell me all about
it.
Miss Mary Kenney testified as to finding
the cap identified as the one Willis wore in

shot. She saw the men run off after Mr.
Rogers was shot. "Those docking at the

Mr.. Willis's person, and could not find any

a difficulty with my brother a few hours
before that.
At this point the jury retired, considering
that the evidence already taken was suffi-
cient for the rendering of verdict. After
some moments absence, the following YER
dict was returned:
"That said James Rogers, now lying
dead, came to his death by pistol or gun
shot wound, and that the said pistol or gun
shot was fired by Thomas Willis and Richard
H. Whitehead, they both being present al
the time, and lying in wait for the pur'

SERMON BY BISHOP DoGGETT.-Bishop D.
s. Doggctt preached at Union Station at |
A. NJ. Sunday. His sermon was based
upon an incident found in John | Al, 81.
After graceful dilation upon the nara
tive of the text, he proceeded to sheE the
basis of true faith--a guileless, sincere
heart. He announced it as an important
truth that the intellect Of man is not op-
posed to revelation, moral evil-a wicked
hesrt-beipg it's principal enemy. In proof
of this position he held up the Apostle
Nathaniel as an example Of the intuitiye
perception of moral truth Ry q pure,
hearted man. Passing to the second part
Of his subject-the reward of faith-he
spoke cloquently and fOrcibly OF the "open
heaven" the ''vision of faith," and the
ss ministration of angels" The congrega-
ton was large and attentive.
