Judge SWayne.

Judge y. II. Swayne, of the United
States Supreme Bench, reached Nashville
Friday night, and was engaged yesterday
in trying chancery cases in the Federal
Court. The Judge has not been in Nash
vile for the past two years, and as Judge
EmmOns' health will not allow of his hold
ing court, Judge Swayne will probably re-
main here a couple of weeks. His district
is composed of the States of Michigan,
Ohio, Kentucky ana Tennessee, hence but
little time can be spent at any one point,
especially as his duties at Washington re-
quire his presence there from October of
each year to the May following.
In conversation with representative of
this paper last evening, the Judge informed
him that it is the custom, when a new Su-
preme Judge is appointed, for the selection
of his district to be determined by a vote
of the associate Judges, and it is generally
the case that he is given the district in
which his home is located, if possible.
Judge Swayne was appointed from Ohio in
1862, and was given the Ohio district.
Chief Justice Chase, also from Ohio, hav-
ing the Washington district. When Chief
Justice Waite was appointed, he was voted
the district his predecessor had held, though
he. also, was from Ohio.
Judge Swayne is handsome, portly man
about fifty years Of age, with just the char
acteristics one would expect in Judge of
the highest legal tribunal in the land. He
is accompanied by his wife, and is quar-
tered at the Maxwell.

At the conclusion Of Barnes testimony
Henry G. EdmondsOn was called as a wit
ness for the defense. He stated that Nolen
was employed by him at the time of the
murder, and that he could not have been at
Housen's at the time time the old lady was
killed; that he had visited Nolen in Jail
since his arrest. and that Nolen had said.
"as God is my Judge, had nothing to do
with the murder"
