CIRCUIT CoURr.-The principal interest
10 the Circuit Court last week was ccntered
in the trial of VIM. Coston, colored, Gin
dicted for the murder Of NARROW Lucas, also
eolored,) which occupied Monday, Tuesday
aud Wednesday, including night session on
Monday evening. The court room was well
filled during the entire trial, embraced in the
spectators being an unusual number of COL
ored persons. Capt. George Baylor, Pros>
ecuting Attorney, represented the State
This case was his first felony trial, and he
acquitted himself in a most creditable man>
ner. The prisoner was defended by D. B.
Lucas, Esq, who brought TO his defence a
fund of clear and logical argument. The
jury found verdict of murder in the second
degree" and fixed the punishment at six
years in the State penitentiary. The crime
for which Colston was convicted was the
shooting to death, on the night of the 29th
of November last, of NARROW Lucas, while
both were present at a dancing party held at
an out house on the premises of DR.. O. G.
blk, in this county. The fact that there APP
peared, from the evidence, to have been
considerable disturbance just before the shoot
ing, in all probability, alone saved him from
being found guilty of murder in the first
degree"
