was then called. The day before the diff
iiculty, was at work IN a saw mill in Mig
souri,; Pillow was busy there putting up
i house for the mill hands. On arrival on
Illinois shore, first place went to-, was at
Mrs. Norris, and from there to Stations,
where the dance was, and took breakfast
there. First saw Hicks near his work shop,
and saw him pick up his gun. Were
then tiftyor sixty yards from the shop. He
, ran to the door Of his house, near by and
asked to be let IN. He was at the door in
a shooting position and shot through Pill
lows hat. We had made no attempt to go
to his house or shoot until shot at. The
road on which we came along is a public
one.
On ctoss-eXamination by Mr.. Mulkey,
Copeland said that Hicks had fired two
shots; didn't know who he was shooting
at and couldn't have got out of the way if
he knew how to handle gun. After the
shooting they continued on their way to the
skitt and had to take that road in order to
get to it. Road runs about ten steps from
the house. They generally took guns
wherever they went, but Pillow intended to
leave his on this side of the river.
JULIAN PILLOW,
the prisoner, was the next TO testify. He
had been in Missouri for some time and
wanting cloths, and hearing that dance
was to be given on this side of the river he
came over. He came over Thursday even
ing and went to the dance by Mrs. Norris,
two miles below Hicks house. The next
morning, while attempting to pass Hicks
house and while about fifty yards theretrom,
saw Hicks go to his work bench and pick
up a gun and start for the
house Herewith. When Just turning
the corner OF the house Hicks shot,
at me, and, at the same time lodged, but
some Of the shot struck my hand and hat.
Upon this Copeland Immediately returned
fire, followed by me. Made no attempt to
80 to the house or to shoot until shot at
On cross-eXamination he said: Met
Hicks in the street when was returning
from city with his daughter, after she had
obtained divorce had gun on my shoulder,
but bad no hard words with him {; | did not
60 to his house because lie did not want me
there. Our trouble was about his daughter.
II she was married, never saw her with
her husband. At the shooting

Hickes fired two shots.
States Attorney Mulkey, then recalled
Hicks claiming that the introduction OF
new matter, by the defendants, justified him
in doing so. Mr., Linegar objected and
Squire Comings deciding that the objection
was well taken, Hicks was not permitted
to testify again.
The trial will be resumed at 8 O'Clock

MR.. GEO. wICHERT REPORTED To HAVE SHOT
HIMSELF IN yINCENNEs, IND.
For some days past various rumors
have been afoat regarding Mr.. Geo. Wich-
ert, who suddenly left the city few days
ago. 1t was asserted that his family rela-
tons were far from Fictitious, and that his
financial affairs were not what they ought
to be. To-day it was reported that he had
gone to Vncennes and there committed
suicide, by shooting himself. Whether these
rumOrs are true or not, the near future
will determine. 1t certain, however, that
though he had Il handsomely arranged and
will filled cigar stano in good locality,
his business could not have been as pros
porous as it might have been, for as soon as
his unaccountablc absence was noticed, his
creditors took possession of his stock and
fixtures.
For the sake Of his wife and child, it is
to be hoped that all these reports are false,
and that he will prove them to be 50, by
his speedy return.
