erred in excluding the testimony of Sheu.n
The other point referred to was the six
tenth exception, where second witness Of
Davis impeaehed the first, and the accused
brought evidence TO sustain the first, which
the State used to impeach the character Of one
Of the prisoners Witnesses. The ruling Of the
Court below was not dissented from.
Judge Steuart will probably sign the written
opinion Of Judge Bowie.
As Judge Alvey sat on the case below, and
decided the questions which created the ex-
ceptions, six out Of the eight Judges on the
bench Of the Court of Appeals agree to the
opinion Of the Court.
The refusal Of the Court below TO grant
Davis another trial, based on Sheu 8 evidence,
is in accordance with the usual custom of the
Court below, TO hear what new evidence is TO
be offered in the second trial OF the case, and
then to decide whether il, in their Judgment,
warrants q reopening of the subject before a
jury. The effect Of the law is that the Judges
decide the merit Of evidence. At the present
position Of the case, to the Governor alone
Davis can look for any help to prevent him
from being executed. He has never been
sentenced, and until then the Governor can
not act in his ense, although his counsel,
Judge Maulsby, has already filed a paper In
the matter in the Executive chamber
The Hagerstown Daily Of Saturday, says
Upon receipt Of the decision Of the Court
Of Appeals, last night, we waited upon Davis
in his cell at the county jail, and we're the
FIRST to communicate to him the information
Of the decision Of the Court Of Appeals which
doomed him TO the scafold. He received it
without any apparent emotion, and in fact
expressed himself az prepared for and expect
ing this result. His GOODNESS, under the cir.
cumstances, was indeed remarkable. He
converted cautiously, and said that It was no
more than he expected, az when public opin-
ion once set against an individual il was
almost impossible TO overcome il BY any
amount Of evidence When we entered bis
cell he had retired for the night, but upon be.
ing announced, he quickly arose from his
couch, and upon being introduced by Deputy
Sheriff Masters, he greeted US cordially and
received the information OF the result Of bis
appeal with an indescr;bable Goodness Il
appeared not TO affect him in The least, and
