such an immense condescension for P Poindex.
ter 10 have made some apology to Curtis.
Miss Cottrell was aware that it was the
duty Of clerks in shoe-stores to offer to
BUTTON LADIES' SHOES.
Now, what was the boys offence in this
respect
Captain Wise recited and commented
upon all that Miss Cottrell said Curtis did,
OF which much has heretofore been pub
lisbed. AS for PoindeXter, he wanted to
put himself high In the estimation of the
lady. He asked Curtis's size. BE didn't
wish it 10 90 back 10 her ears that he had
been whipped, or, having whipped Curtis,
that he had apologized for it.
No. Like the Indian warrior, he must
bring home to her the scalp of his victim !:
and 1t is there for her edifcation!
!. To show apprehension, they. resort to the
c6whiding in the morning; for other pur-
poses they discard it. That is what the de-
fence has been doing all day. n
II there is to be .-.

He appealed to the jury, il they were
tired of bloodshed, to begin with this day
and put stop to it.
In giving the case to the jury the Com
monwealth's Attorney very nicely express
ed his personal feelings with reference to
the prisoner, and thanked the jury for their
patieut attention. He was speaking about
an hour and three quarters, and the genera
Judgment was that it was a fine argument
NOT AGREED.
At 7:40 the jury retired. At 10 O'Clock
they were brought into court, and to the
question OF the clerk, Have you agreed
upon 4 verdict?' Dir. Pcarce answered
"We have not"
| The Judge then inquired il it was pro
babe that they could agree upon verdict
that night. Mr.. Pearce answered that i
