st. Louis, Dec. An the cane-grow-
ers' committee, the report from Prof.
Stewart, of Murphysville, Iowa, was
read. 1t cited successful cases of
crystallizing sugar from sorghum and
Indian cane by the use of his process.
He said the Chinese cane was the best
sugar producing variety in this coun-
try, it can be grown wherever corn is
raised.
He had obtaioed from Indian corn
from 1000 to 2, 400 pounds of sugar to
the acre. 20
A discussion of the paper revealed
the fact that several members had OBJ
tained very Indifferent results from the
use of Prof Stewards process, and that
this process is by no means the only one
by which sugar can be produced from
sorghum cane.
There is much enthusiasm among the
members.

CHASTINE COX.

HIS APPEAL AGAINST HIS CONVICTION OF THE
MURDER OF MRS. HULL ARGUED BEFORE THE
SUPREME COURT.
The question as to whether the confession made
by Chastine Cox that he murdered Mrs. Jane De
Forest Hull the 11th of June last No. 14O West
Forysecond street. is sufficient legal basis for in
ficting the severest penalty of the law under his
conviction for murder in the first degree in the
Court Of General Sessions before Judge Cowing in
the month of july is soon to be determined by the
Supreme Court, General Term An appeal from
this conviction. it will be remembered, was
taken by the prisoners counsel Mr.. Will
case was argued at great length yesterday before
Judges Davis Brady and ingalls,, holding the Gen
eral Term OF the Supreme Court. The Court re-
manned in session until very late hour listening to
the argument, which was sharply contested on both
sides sistant District Attorney Daniel G.. Rollins
appearlns on the part OF the prosecution. 1t is un
necessary to recte the particulars of this arocious
homicide. which are yet fresh in the public men,
ory. Following his conviction Cox sentenced to
be hanged on the Goth of August.
After succnct narrative Of the circumstances
connected with the tragedy Mr.. Howe proceeded
with his argument to show, as he claimed. that the
confession OF tine murderer was worthy of no legal
consideration whatever. and that grave errors were
committed, not alone in the selection OF the jurors
who tried Cox. but also by the ruling Of the Judge
in regard to the special plea interposed as to the
manner IN which the jurors were drawn.
Assistant District Attorney Rollins then followed
with learned reply, insisting that Judge Cowng
had cured the error II any oy MS subsequent fair
offer to counsel to try the questions raised in the
plea by the prisoners counsel-an offer Of which
the prisoners counsel refused to avail himself.
But Mr.. Rollins contended at great length
and with much force that assuming the plea to be-
correctly on record. it contained nothing showing
injury prejudice to the prisoner. He then took
up seriatim the various points raised by the pris-
oner's counsel and earnestly combated them.
claiming that neither Of them was sufficient to
justify reversal of this he thought. most just
conviction. In conclusion he stated that q moro
brutal and atrocious murder had not been COM
mitted for years in this city, and called the at
tentlon of the Court to the fact that the prisoner
had voluntarily confessed his perpetration Of the
horrible crimes that the jury in the face of this
fession and tho evidence could have rendered no
other verdict than that which consigned this self
confessed murderer to the scaold. and that If any
under such circumstances could through mere
technicalty escape meried punishment of his crime
then the time had arrived when courts of justice
should be abolished.
After brief reply by Mr.. Howe the counsel passed
up their briefs for the examination of the Court
preliminary to its decision.
