RoCKLAND, March 1.-The preliminary ex
animation was concluded tonight, having &C.
cupied three days II was conducted before
Beder Fales, trial justice, by A. S. Rice, Coun-
ty Attorney. Edward Wilson, A. P. Gould
and J. e. Moore, Esqs., appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. The complaint charged Edward
Andrews and Frank Smalley with wlful MUIR
der, to which each pleaded not guilty. Attor-
ney Rice in opening the case stated that this
examination must in degree take the place
of coroner's inquest, there being no coroner
in Knox county. Five witnesses were sum-
moned for the prosecution. They testified in
amount as follows: Tuesday evening Jones,
muscular man of 100 pounds, flogged Smalley,
young man of 20 years, weighing 135, and not
so powerful as Jones. There had been ill feel
ings between them for some time. Wednes-
day evening Jones, Robinson and other friends
went to the church, where the singing school
was held, to meet Smalley. Smalley tried to
avoid an encounter. Jones assaulted him as
he came out of the church with lady on his
arm. Jones struck Smalley once and then
they clinched. Andrews, a friend of Small
leys, went to the rescue. He struck Jones
| twice on the right side in 'front.' On first blow,
according to one witness, Jones cried ooh f!
dear" or sob! God at second, 'Let me alone! 7"
| but this evidence was not substantiated. Some
| one in the crowd said, "fair play After An
drews struck, Jones and Smaliey got up and
ran, Jones ahead, to Wiley's tore. Jones sat
| down on rock at the corner of the store and
soon fell over against the store. Some one ask
ed "who hurt Jones?" He said Andrews. A
sheath knife was found in front of the church
next morning in the centre of spot bespatter-
| ed with blood.
Five physicians were employed by the pros
ecution and defence to examine, consider and
testify. Their first examination was hasty and
uucritical.
MoNDAY.-County Attorney Rice issued a
warrant or instruction to Drs. Buxton and
Levensaler to eXhume the body for more care
full inspection. They agreed, and only the tes-
timony of William A. Banks of Rock land, was
called. He stated that there were two wounds
through skin and pleura; that the cartilagin.
Gus and not the osseous portion of the ribs was
SEVERED that the superior uena capu was cut
that the kLife might have been held with the
edge towards or from the sternua, and that q
sliobt blow could have inflicted the wound
This testimony left it possible that either An
drews or Smalley dealt the fatal blow. Small
lev showed wound in the palm of his right
| hand. which it was affirmed might have beer
produced by knife held in the hand during
the struggle. Mr. Gould, in defence, referred
to the prejudice and false rumor which hao
prevailed; reviewed all the evidence brought
forward, and called Andrews up on the stand
