WAKING UP.
The arrest OF Pullman II. Gully as he took the wit
stand has caused the fact to out that thirty
indictments for conspiracy and murder in the trans
actions OF the 10th OF April 1877 have been allowed
TO sleep in the clerks Office Of Kemper county for
two years. without of the parties being arrested
1t has further developed the fact that none the
parties arraigned for trial at the present term Of
court have ever been committed to JAIL and that
they put on parole for their appearance at the
March Term 1873, when the democratic District At
torney. finding that no arrests had been made. did
the best he could under the circumstances. ana ad-
mtted them all to bail in the sum Of $4,000 each.
This morning juryman taken severely i'll. I
do not know whether 1t is feigned or not The
Court adjourned in consequence. The robe of inn
munity seems to have been torn from the Gully
family ut last and punishment may possibly be
meted out to them The regular term OF the>C Court
terminates Saturday. Governor Stone has urged
Judge Hamm to call special term to try the re-
naming Kemper county cases.
