testified that he was a carpenter,
had begun to work for Bent Jones in 1871,
and had continued to do so up to the spring
of 1876; that on two occasions Bent jones
had made propositions to hire him to kill
Moody. That on one of these occasions, in
1872, Jones offered him 81 900 in cash, and
afterwards the same amount, part
cash and part lumber, TO do the
deed, and assured him there would be no
danger of detection he had
plenty of men to get HIM out, and would
stick by him. Mr.. Jones said that Moody
had robbed him through the law, and moth
ing but his life would satisfy him. That on
one occasion Jon IS said he was going to kill
the id old s-n of b-h himself, and
wanted his head for a soap gourd, his bones
to make buttons and his hide for razor
strap and for whangs to sew his belts That
after Moo iy's death Jones said to
him that he had got Moody killed
for a id sight less than he had
offered him (Younger); that the id old
now he (Jones) was easy.
Judge McNutt subjected the witness to a
severe cross examination, during which he
asked him il he was not mad at Jones be-
cause he had caught him stealing paint and
other articles from his factory, and had
then discharged him, to which the
witness answered mo" and appealed to the
NOuIb AOA PiONCObiOh Lch SUN 4ANoeOatS,
but the court held the questions proper.
This forenoon Ransom Barton, Benjamin
Monahan, Margaret Todd, Andy Noe, Albert
III. Johnston, William Patton, Volleny T..
Moore, Miriam H. Lincoln, Volleny Me-
nough, Thomas Fisher, Asbury Gazaway,
Robert Carter, Wesley Lowery, Homer Bu-
sick, Frank Murphy and Clara Harvey were
examined, the most of whom testified
to threats before and admissions after the
killing of Moody by the defendant, Bent
Jones. Perhaps the most damaging testi-
mony was that OF Andy Noe, who is a gun
smith, and who testified to having repaired
a double-barreled shot gun a short time be-
fore the murder, brought to him by Eli
Lowery, who is in the penitentiary for life
on plea of guilty to this crime, and who
said the gun belonged to Bent Jones, who
afterward paid for the work. Also that
Jones had said after the killing that Moody
was killed by genuine stub and
twist gun, which had been thoroughly test
ed and that the man who had stood behind
it when the deed was done knew what ii
would do.
The state has examined % witnesses in all,
and will put the main witness, Eli Lowery,
on. the stand this afternoon or in the
morning, and hope to get all the
states evidence in by to morrow noon. The
| interest in the case increases as the trial
proceeds and, Notwithstanding the oppres-
| sively warm weather, the bailiffs, under in
structions of the court, have great difficulty
in keeping the passages in the court room

Especial Correspondence of the Sentinel
BLOOMINGTON, May II, 1S77.-The state IN
the Jones-Tolliver case began the introduc-
ton of their evidence on yesterday by call
ing to the stand William Moody, brother of
the murdered man, who stated that at the
time of the murder the family, four in num-
Der, were living In Orleans, Orange county.
That the last time he had seen his
brother Thomas on the I'd of March, 1875
before he was shot, was between 8 and 10
O'Clock in the morning, when he bad writ
ten letter and went to the post office: that
he did not come home any more during the
day; that few minutes before O'Clock
that night he heard two reports of gun in
quick succession, and immediately after
heard his brother exclaim ''0h, am muir
dered;" that on opening the door he was
found trying to make his way into the
house, whereupon his brother John and
sister Polly dragged him into the
where he fingered until about IL
O'Clock the next day and died. That all ex
animation of the premises in the morning
revealed the marks of II balls or buckshot
on the palings of the fence and six in the
house; that the wounds on the body OF
Thomas seemed to have been made from the
same kind of balls, one of which passed
through his hip and one through bis right
arm
The witness also detailed the attack made
upon the house when they were
. living in the country in June,
ISL, when the burning jugs of ben
zine and hand grenades were thrown into
the house through the doors and windows in
the night time, and the shooting of Thomas
on that occasion. He also stated that pre-
) vious to that occasion there had been several
law suits between the Moodys on the one
side and the Joneses and ToIlivers on the
other, which had grown out OF the admins
tration of old man TOlliver's estate, which
had produced luminosity between the parties,
especially between Thomas and the Joneses

RETURNING BOARD LEAKS.
How the villains Pushed Things TO Elect
Hayes.

philadelphia rimes.l
The worm will turn to sting the foot that
treads upon it, and Packard has been goaded
to break silence about the Louisiana election
returns by the declaration of the New York
Tribune that the return board of that state
''cared more for the state administration
than it did for the presidency" and that
it decided to "push the rejection of the
votes beyond all reasonable limits for
the sake of fastening Mr.. Packard
on President Hayes's coat tails" The
Tribune was most unfortunate in thus pro-
voking Packard to a public explanation, for
he publishes reply in that journal of yes
terday that can not be answered. Mr.. Pack
ard shows that. had the return board stopped
with throwing out the bulldozed parishes of
East Baton Rouge, East and West Feliciana,
Morehouse, Ouachita, Grant De Soto, Lafa-
yette and Webster, the result would have
been as follows:

sell our team. Perhaps We may tire OF camp
life by the time we arrive at Austin, and sell
out there. Young Lotion and Mr. Sweeney

circumstances would permit. On Texas land

GOVERNOR.

Mr.. Packard thus shows that it was neces-
sary to push the rejection of votes" beyond
the bulldozed parishes not only to save the
Packard state ticket, but also to save Hayes,
and he pungently reminds the Tribune that
Its claim that additional work was done "for
the sake of fastening Mr.. Packard to Mr..
Hayes's coat tails" is ''curiously at variance
with the facts" He then shows that the
board could have rejected the addi-
tional parishes of Caldwell, Nacbi-
toches and Richland, and accepted
the face of the returns in the other parishes,
with the following result: Packard over
Nichols, 40l, and Wickliffe, st. Martin, De
Blanc and Seav, democratic electors, maj ori-
ties ranging from 8 to 81 over their republi-
can competitors, which would have given
the republicans the state administration and
both branches of the legislature, and given
to Tilden four electoral votes when one
would have elected him. But Mr.. Packard
reminds the Tribune that
rejection of votes beyond these limits ii Ad
ditional polls were rejected in the parishes of
Bossier, Catahoula, Claiborne, Franklin,
and in three wards of the city OF New Orleans,
which did not affect the election OF governor
or the membership of the general assembly,
and from such action resulted the majority OF
the Hayes electors. l adopt the words of the
Tribune and join in your suggestion that
uneasy republicans who are worrying over
the presidents title will do well 10 keep these
figures in mind"
Mr.. Packard clearly demonstrates that the
rejection OF votes in Louisiana was not solely
in the interest of himself and the state
ticket but that the work had to be pushed
beyond all reasonable limits to give the
Hayes electors majorities. The best thing
that the Tribune can do is to dismiss the
arithmetical feature OF the Louisiana re
turn, and not goad those who did the
figure-work to tell anything about it, for it
can not be stirred without making a
pestilential stencil in the nostrils of the
nation. There is force in its assumption
that the selection of electors is a duty i'm
posed upon the states, aud that the revision
of the lawful tribunals of the states is ques-
ton of the greatest delicacy, and fraught
with the gravest of possible wrongs; but no
journal with just claims to fairness can de-
fend the original return of Louisiana for
Hayes and Wheeler without violence to ev-
cry dictate of public integrity.

A new cement for glassware has been dis
covered by Professor Schwartz which Is said
to have the quality of being unaffected by
boiling water. 1t is also free from another
Objectionable feature of china and glass ce-
ments. as it does not disfgure by dark line
along the Junction. The method of making
this cement which must be used when
fresh, is TO sdd five parts OF gelatin, one part
of a solution of acid chromate of lime. The
articles, after the broken surfaces have been
united with this cement, must be exposed
to strong sunlight for a few hours, and mean
while should be held in the proper position
under considerable pressure from wire or
string. A fracture thus repaired in glass
ware is said to be hardly perceptible.
