. At various times during the day interest
ing sharpshootiug was INDUCED IN by some
OF the counsel on either side. and at times it
seemed as IL it would assume serious
aspect. Mr. Keen during his service as no
tary arose and said that if the gentlemen did
not desist he would have to command ths
peace. But no harm was done, although
hours Of time were consumed. During the
day General johnson, Colonel Knight, Mr..
Starke, Colonel Tanner, and General limbo
den visited the scene as interested spectators.
At 11:45 P. NJ. the notary (Mr. Ward)
stopped i've minutes to eat his supper, when
General Johnson's counsel protested against
said delay. The protest was made q part Of
the record. Mr.. Harris, who bad been on
the stand since 6:10 O'Clock P. d., was again

After the deposition of G. RI. Nicol, Csp-
tain Bohonon was called up. Mr. Wise pro-
posed that counsel for the defence either ac-
cept Captain Bohonon's deposition as made
on Monday ip the case of Knight and john
SOD, or, if they intended to take it again,
that they defer 1t until the last day of the
proceedings. Mr.. Holaday accepted the
last proposition, and the taking of Captain
Bohonon's deposition was therefore defer
red.

Knight and Starke at the First precinct of
Jefferson Ward, and that his place of resi-
dence was at the St. Charles Hotel.

be caught voting at the next election.
