CRIMINAL CORUT
commenced its session in this city last
Monday was week ago, with Judge Nc
LemOre presiding. Last Tuesday was a
wees ago the case ofFrank Riddle, charged
with the murder If Samuel Friedman, was
taken up, the evidence was gotten through
with last Saturday, when the argument of
counsel commenced. Gen. W. G. Whit
thorne, Attorney General Russell, and Col.
L. D Myers for the State, Col. A. NJ.
Looney, Charles Nicholson, and W. j.
Webster for the defence. The case was
given to the jury yesterday ut IL o'clock,a
are still out, having brought in no verdict
yet. The charge Of Judge McLemore to
the jury is considered by this bar to have
been one of the ablest ever given in Grim
inal case. The courtroom WAS crowded
when be delivered his charge, and the at
tention was 80 great that a pin could have
been heard if dropped on the floor. The
counsel both for the State and defense said
they ere more than satisfied with Judge
McLemore's charge. This was his first
charge ever delivered at this bar, he being
the newly elected Judge.
THE HORSE EPIDEMIC.
If it were not cruel to jest on such sub
iects as the "Grant Grip" now prevailing
among those useful animals in our city,
at Mayes & Dodson's and McGaw's livery
stables, we should say that the slight
cdtdrrh" affiicts the said horses TO an IN
unsteady serious extent. The number of
cases at McGaW's is %, at Mayes & Dod-
sons "a. The number of cases in Colum-
bia is at least 90. All the cases are very
mild. There has been only two horses died
vet from the disease in this city. Myers &
Dodson Informed us this morning that they
would give Uncle Tommie Douglas two
oxen to work IN his omnibus. He will put |
them on to-day; so Uncle TOmmie will now |
work two oxen to the "concern" until bis |
horses get Letter.
