W. Goodridge, of No. l29 West Seven
teeuth street, who testified that on the
evening ofthe 18th of May last, he went
into Walker premises, and noticed that
the dog was suffering from overwork'
that its neck was chafed and bleeding
and that it seemed to be half starved.
Recorder Hackett was the next witness
called, and in reply to questions. stated
that he had great experience with dogs,
having owned in his lifetime upward oil
400 of all ages and sizes-hom the big
Newfoundland down to the two pound
black and tan terrier-and that he could
tell when a dog suffered; and further, that
Walkers dog on the 10Th OF May was
suffering greatly from fatigue.
Ex-Mayor Hall then took the stand
and was asked by Mr.. Gerry If he was a
citizen of New York, to which he replied
that be did not know; it was question
| of law, as he had not registerted vet.
Mr.. Gerry-Were you ever in Mr..
Walkers cider mill
Mr.. Hall-Nol mol | was never in any
cider mill. have been in Mr.. Walker s
premises. hf
He testified further, that the dog was
sick, and to his knowledge had been
sick six tins on six different days.
Mr.. Bergh, Justice Bixby and a num-
Der of others, were examined, but their
testimony was nothing more than a cor
roboration of the preceding Witnesses.
Up to one o'clock few witnesses had
l-been examined for the defense, their tes-
timony going to show that in working
the dog no cruelty had been committed.
The case is still on.
Ex-Mayor Daniel F. Tieman was the
third witness called for the defense, and
testified that the dog could not have
been very cruelty treated, as the weight
OF the dog run the mill, or at least 1t did
in his younger days.
Mr.. NJ. p Walker, the prisoner s
brother, testified positively that there
never was an abrasion upon the dog $
neck under the collar. The father Of
the defendant stated that they had used
the dog power for ever twelve years, and
for grinding apples it is now in general
use throughout the country, and that
their dogs were SO fond OF working the
mill that they had to keep them chained
to prevent them from doing so outside of
working hours.
Washington Williams, sable resident
of Thompson street, testified that since
Walkers arrest and the dogs liberation
he had been the motive power to run the
mill and did not find it hard work in the
least.
The defendant was then placed upon
the stand, and stated that be had worked
the dogs for years at Houstan street and
Broadway, and last year at the Ameri-
can Institute Fair, and that he had
never worked them more than an hour
at time, and had never chained them
to the machine
The case was then closed and sub
mitted to the court without argument,
and after a few minutes deliberation
Justice Kasmire announced the decision
finding the prisoner guilty, and SEN
fencing him to pay fine of S25.

OUR THEATER.

1t is evident, thus far, that the efforts
of our theatrical management have not
met the encouragement at the hands of
the amusementgoing public which was
reasonably expected. 1t is true that no
extraordinary attractions have been pre-
sented, yet good talent has appeared
every night and great pains have been
taken to present every piece carefully
and to adapt it to the critical tastes and
Judgment of Memphis audiences. The
time has been when the same acting
filed the house, and one or two years
since the war our city sustained two first
class theaters. Our people will patronize
some kind of amusements. and it is GER
tainly to the interest of the community
to foster the best, that public taste may
be elevated and the drama made an in
Auence for instruction and refinement.
Unfortunately for the financial
welfare of all theatrical undertakings in
Memphis, the more fashionable goers
have fallen into a custom which should
be more honored in the breach than in
the observance" of going in greatest
force on a particular night. The lead
ing stars know this, and in making their
engagements they demand the lion 5
share of the benefit that night. II any
money is made it goes into the eapa-
cious pocket OF the imperious star, who
carries it off to spend in the North,
while the manager struggles all the rest
of the week to make expenses from a
beggarly account of half filled
benches. People complain sometimes
that all the great actors and actresses,
Booth, jefferson, Owens. JAnausheck,
Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Lander and others
are not brought here in continuous sue
cessiou. 1t is partly for the reason
already given. The stars claim
everything Friday night and q large
percentage Of the receipts the other
nights, which, under our custom,
Of overcroRding the benefit leaves but
little for the treasury. II would be a
reproach to Memphis not to sustain one
FIRST class place of amusement. The
gentlemen in charge of the Memphis
Theater have done everything in their
power to merit the confidence Of the
public and popularize that institution.
They have engaged some Of the best
stars and combinations OF the country
for the ensuing season, and deserve
a more liberal patronage than yet be
slowed. If not sustained this season
the Memphis Theater will inevitably
drop down to second-cIsss institu
ton on the variety order from which the
elite Of the city will be effectuslly ban
ished We would regard such an event
as a calamity for Memphis, to be followed
by baueful consequences upon the
younger generation, who will seek amuse.
ment of some kind at all hazards. Let
US consider whether this community can
afford to let the only first class place Of
amusement drag out doubtful exist.
ence and eventually degenerate into a
place where we cannot take the fair
wives and daughters of Memphis. Under
the present management it will continue
to deserve the liberal support of all who
admire the better school of the drama

the other five pinned Miller to the GROUND and
beat him in terrible manner. The ruffian who
had abducted the girl tosk her to an enclosure
near by i'll the meantime, had profered her in /.
