TIE HOLDEN. IMPEACHMENT Especial to
the Norfolk Journal. l-Rdleigh, n. c., Feb.
-, lS1l.-ln the court of impeachment to-
day Austin pritchard, of Alalnance, and
ii. f. Brandon, clerk Of the Superior Court
Of Caswel, and Sheriff Griffith, of Caswell,
all testified as to the brutal and outrageous
manner in which Kirk treated the lnhabi-
tants Of Alamance and Cnswell counties.
Mr.. Brandon testified that he had heard
Kirk publicly threaten to kill the prisoners,
murder the women and children, and burn
the town of Yanceyville. saying that he
had the authority Of Gov. Holden TO do that
if the least resistance was shown him OF his
men.
sheriff Griffith, in his examination, cor
roboratcd this testimony.
The managers have introduced ample
evidence to sustain the allegations in The
articles OF impeachment. So far the re-
spondents counsel have been completely
haf1lcd in their only line of defence-to
prove that conspiracy existed to over
throw the Government by secret organiza-
tons.
1t is now believed that the Legislature
will, i'll day CT two, bring articles of inn
parchment against Lieutenant-Governor
Caldwell.
