having had the talk With Henry Martin
about the burning of the Depot or sta

There was a good deal of testimony for
the purpose Of contradiction, ana l. re-
but, DC. As an attack had been made
upon Mag Snider, on account of the
nature Of the house she kept, the State
called D. D. DUNCAN to the stand, to tes-
tify as t. her reputation for truth and
veracity. Objection was made, and the
objection sustained. Judge Guthrie claim
ed that, although Mag. Snider might be
shown to have "a bad character for chas-
tity, yet be was prepared to show that
she had as good reputation for truth
and yeracity - any man Or woman in
Jackson county. The Judge said that
he should instruct the jury that the gen
eral character Of a witness cannot be in
troduced for the purpose Of impeachment,
but it can go to the jury for what il is
worth.
After some additional testimony, not
of much Importance, the case was argued
by Atkinson and Guthrie for the State,
and by DUNCAN and Laird for the defense,
the Court charged the jury, and after
twenty-four hours deliberation. the jury
returned verdict of not guilty 1t is
said that for more than twenty hours the
jury stood nine or ten for conviction, and
two or three for acquittal.
