THE advantage Of the laws delay is
aptly illustrated in the case Of w. q.
Terrell, who, in 1874, shot and killed
Harvey Myers, in Covington. II will
be remembered that Terrell became
incensed at a question asked by Myers
during the trial of a case, and went to
his office to bulldoze him into with
drawing it. Myers said that he would
not be dictated to in such a matter,
and ordered Terrell out Of his office.
Instead ofgoing, Terrell put on bel
ligerantair, and Myers attempted to ex-
pelhim by force, and during the scuffle !
the fatal shot was fired. The case
caused great excitement at the time,
as Myers was lawyer Of high stand
ing, and but for the GOODNESS Of few
gentlemen, Terrell would have an
: swered his crime before Judge Lynch.
After a number of continuances, the
case was brought to trial and he was
given eight years in the Penitentiary.
The Court of Appeals granted a new
trial. which, also, resulted in a YER
dict of guilty, and the punishment
fixed at seven years. BY some means
or other, this judgment was set aside,
and now, after period of five years,
a jury is found which pronounces him
innocent. II was probably befuddled
by Judge McManama's instructions,
which were that If the jury believed ,
that Myers used more force than was
necessary to expel Terrell, then the +,
latter had the right 10 use any means
in his power for his protection, and it
must acquit him. 1t is sharp jury !
that can decide just exactly how much
force shall be used in such case.
