Another queation which will como up is 3 d.

The trial Of tho nlno nersoua caNrGcl With

list ID tho JohnHcn murder case, whloh has pro-
ErosHcd 60 far ns tue hoaring for ths dofonao.
II tho testimony for tho prosecution s good, the
killing WA oold-blooJod. dastardly murder, by
atrklng tlo victiu, with wiuo-bottLo on tho
head, 8hilo lying drunk upon bod.
In view q tho three murders In this City since
tho law pboIisl,lng hanging waa passed. - city
whcro not Il murder WA beforo committed
tho people hMve watcAsd with considerable
trials; md thoy aro surprised, uH vol M
tho statutes relative to murder. When hanging
was in forco, murder waa not o hailablo otrunec.
III aho!ishln: banging, the Legislature failed to
xestora TIM clausn relative to ball iu eaao Of uur-
dor. Again, 1t was disoovered TINT tho diatiuc-
tson botncon accessory before Tho fact and q
principal |,al boon abrosatad; but an accessory
after tho fact wns loft ont, except That no might
DO indicted &C though tho principal was not. put
wl,on ]sa was not present whom tho crime ,r{ts

Although. as III tho instance Of George Jnmtson,
in tho case now OH trial. lie know of tug murder.
and helped to carry tho lody Of tho victim ont Of
tho houso and dispose Of tt, yet lie could not 10
Indicted aud went scnt-frGn.
Another fact deyolopad was, that tho old rule
had boon 40 changed that juror waa incompo-

| I expected" when it is announced tlat these
| cascs havo gone over to tho next term. Eo
must attribute it to tho laws delay and tLo gon1-
| oAa OF Bhrowd counsel. In tho case Of Nanfin,
| soyeral demuErera wore raiaed BY tho defonso,
! which woro oveFrlled, md it wan found impossi-
hla to try tho case at tho preBpnt torn, mud got
through wit tho mur<[or cascs, which 1t was in.
poratlvcly necessary to dispoRo of. owing to tho
heavy oxpenao imposed in Keeping md guarding
day and night tho large uumbor OF prisoners and
witnesses Involved thorcin. Anot!ior> aud prob
| ably important renson was, thGs tho proAGut
Judge vacatcs tho Bench at tho close OF shtu
term. and tho oaso would gohalf-tricd to another
| Judge.
III Tho case Of brandt. tits counsel rnisol the
! doMutror that 10 waa not q atato oticag, hut q
Deputy responsible onlY to hia principal. The
| Jnasa-wAo, by tho way, Is 9 htrong pnrsonal

aud this question wlll hava to be dooided before
