The case of the United States rs. Nail
Randall and Dean for the murder Of
"Buck," a negro, or Jefferson as
known in the Indictment consumed most
of the past week The testimony on the
part Of the Government was entirely
from negroes-the relatives, brothers,
sisters, wife and mother Of the deceased.
The testimony was conflicting and the
sentiments of all, at the commencement,
was against the accused The testimony
on the part Of the defence, changed the
views entertained considerably Messrs
Rogers, Brown, Walker and Wilcox ap.
peared for the defence, Brown and Rog-
ers addressed the jury on Friday, follow
ing the District Attorney. On Saturday
morning G. WILcox, Esq, opened his
address and consumed the forenoon
closing at ~ O'Clock precisely. After
dinner W. WALKER, Esq, addressed tn.
jury short time, and then the District
Attorney closed. The jury retired about
4 o'clock and at 10t returned into cour
a verdict OF "not guilty" The attorneys
in this case labored faithfully for theil
clients and deserve much credit Some
outside persons think the verdict unwar
ranted, but from the best information W.
can get, the verdict is well warranted by
the facts. After this case the case o
United States ~. Goods, wares and mer
chandise, property of james Armstrong
came on and is yet unfinished.
