ney Goldthwaite opened the argument
for the prosecution, and occupied the
attention OF the Court and jury during
The morning session, and for an hour
and half in the afternoon. His arru.
ment touched every salient point in the
case, and cannot fail to have made an
impression on the jury averse to the de-
PENDANT. The District Attorney was
followed by W. W. Bishop, who,
with his accustomed ingenuity sought
to convince the jury that Harring.
ton was innocent of any crime:
had acted in self-defense, and that the
prosecution was only the result OF foul
conspiracy to take the life of James Har
rington. Just as the eloquent gentle
man seemed to have warmed up thor
oughly, the black clouds gathered thick
and fast, the lightning flashed and the
thunder roared. A suggestion was made
that the Court had better take a recess:
but above the clash of the elements was
heard the stentorian voice of the gentle
man. mo WONDER" he said, that the
heavens grew black, the thunders roared
and the lightnings flashed, while the
state. represented by eminent counsel,
sought to take the life of James Har-
rington. During this burst of elo-
quence and thunder-clouds his Honor
sat unmoved; the jurors lost none of
their compacency; the audience was evil
IDENTIFY moved, and lawyers generally
smiled pensive smile. A RECORD re-
porter was present, and he began to won-
der why there was no allusion to the
weeping of angels, or to the exemplary
character of the accused-this luckless
victim OF foul conspiracy. 1t was a
great omission not to have stated that
Harrington's life had been a circumnavi.
CATION Of all the Christian graces; that
his whole career had been marked by
self-denying devotion to the good of man
kind. Mr.. Bishop made an able argu-
ment, characterized by earnestness and
fervor. Whatever the result of the trial
may be, it is to the credit of his counsel
to say that his case has been faithfully
and ably managed by them. Mr.. Bishop
concluded his argument last evening.
He will be followed this morning by
Judge Pitzer for the defense, after which |
Mr.. Rives will close in behalf of the |
State. 1t is supposed that the case will
go to the jury sometime to-day, and pos
sibly verdict rendered tonight.
The Case of Peoples.
PIocHE, August %, 1873.
EDITOR RECORD: I noticed an article
in your paper this morning in regard to
the escape of one John Peoples. The true
facts in the case are as follow: Peoples
was taken sick in the County Jail and re-
moved to the County Hospital, and es.
capped from the hospital, as two others
have done.
I should not be censured for the es-
cape of prisoners when not in my charge.
l hope, in the future, Mr.. Local, you will |
give my Office a call, Tor We will be glad |
to see you, and will give you correct items
in regard to the County Jail, and we ask
you not to believe " Sidewalk Sleepers
who seek for something to talk about and
nothing to do. Respectfully,
w. S. TRAVIS,
Sheriff Lincoln county, New.
We like to see the Sheriff come |
straight up in black and white 1t gives
the opposite party n fair chance at re-
buttal. Ed.
