This closed the evidence for the State.
and afterwards Hon. Hiram Mccullough
made the opening statement in behalf of

that he expected To show that the prisoner
aud the deceased, up To the time of the

| terms so much so, indeed, that the former
had procured work from Ricaud for the

occupied about thirty minutes in making
! his opening statement: after which the
