THE KELSEY CASE.

The verdict of ''Not guilty" in the Banks-samms
assault and battery case just concluded before Judge
Barnard, at Riverhead renewed excitement in
Huntington, and has the effect of rather embittcring
the feeling between the tar and 'anttar" parties in
that excitabe village II is thought generally that tho
verdict viii be followed by nolle prosequi OF the in
dctments charging murder in the second degree against
Royal and Rudolph Sammis although there appears
be little doubt that Charles Kelsey is Dead and that
his death caused by the horrible treatment he
ceived the night Of his tarring and fcatbering,
notwithstanding the declaration made by Judge
Barnard during the progress Of the late trial that
he had very definite idea as to where kelsey at
present" Counsel for the prosecution, however now
talk differently. They declare that the murder cases
will not be dropped and alege that they have very
strong proof which could not properly be adduced in
the assault and battery case, in which Royal Sammis
and DR.. Banks only escaped because it could not bo
proved that they laid a hand upon Kelsey, although
present and witnessing the poor fellows disgrace.
This case, too, hurried in consequence of the dis
tressng fact that the wife of one Of the jurors lying
the point OF death nfty miles away and that
other Juror had dead sister lying in his house. with
the funeral delayed account OF his absence The
trial Of Arthur NJ. PRIME for perjury, will probably
next occupy attention.
