Examination of the witnesses, as stated
yesterday was commenced Thursday even
ing, Dr. Mann and Mrs, Lacey were eX.
amincd, the former testifying as to the ma
turc of the wound, and declaring it to be
the cause Of Campbell's death. The Dr.
underwent a very rigid cross.examination
at the hands of Mr.. Lincgar, and showed
himself essentially lacking in his knowl-
edge Of surgery and anatomy. y
Mrs. Lacey testified as to Campbcl's dy-
ing statement lie was on his death bed.
and in her house. He solemnly declared
that he ran, McAuliff pursued him; that he
fell over fence and before hecould recover
himself NlcAulif gave him the fatal cut.
Mrs. Lacey was cross-examined; but the
main point Of her evidence was not serious.
ly impaired thereby.
Shortly after court was called yesterday
morning, the examination OF the Peoples
witnesses was resumed.
Mr. Sam Farrell was put upon
the stand. He was acquainted with both
the dcfendcnt and the deceased, and heard
Of the trouble between them "On the
evening of the cutting both Of them were
in my saloon. One of them bought u
quart Of whisky and the other pint.
Campbell was little eight They re-
NAMED in the saloon probably a half hour,
but took no drinks. II was about o'clock
when they left. There was dance that
night at Wilhurn's, at Olive Branch.

next morning after the difficulty. Thirty
two feet from the house was puddle OF
water, and there seemed 10 have been
struggle there. picked up white hand
kerchief there and handed it to Mrs. Nc
Auliif who promptly identified it as her
own. Her dress was hanging on the door,
and was wet and little muddy, do not
know positively that the dress was hers; but
there was no other woman about the house.
George Simons saw Campbell have q
white-handled knife, shortly before the
dltticu'ty-saw him with 1t about $50 yards
from McAulitf'S, about 6 orr o'clock, the
same evening. Witness borrowed the
knife moment to cut tobacco.
Mrs, Lacey being again recalled testified
that Campbell said, as dying declaration,
that McAulitf had accused him (the de-
ceased) of having had Alb Finch discharged
from work The discharge took place but
Il short time before the difficulty Camp
bell made his way to Mrs. Lacey's house
unattended,
George Fox testified that he saw Camp
bell and McAulif together, at point about
IS yards from the latter's house, on the
evening Of the cath Of December; but
knew nothing else that had any direct bear
ing, on the case.
At this point the attorney for the defence
announced that he would close his case.
The prosecuting attorney then remarked
that two of the witnesses for the State had
failed to make their appearance; but as the
case was not as good an one for the people
as he had been led to believe it would be,
he would pursue il no further,
The Judge then asked the jurors If they
were prepared to return a verdict without
retiring, There was an affirmative answer,
and Thomas McAuliff was then and there
declared Not Guilty" 1t was clearly a
case Of Unsuitable homicide,
In this case We see something Of the i'm
perfection Of our grand jury system. Had
the jury had all the facts, the indictment
would not have been found. the county
would have been saved a heavy outlay Of
money, and McAulit' saved from false"
Imprisonment Of many months.

DIPHTHERIAAND SCARLET FEVER
4 PREVENTIVE.
Editor Bulletin

Editor Bul'ctin;
As there are grave approximations of a
diphthcria epidemic among us, | should
like to call the attention of your readers to
the use Of Sulpho-carbo.ate of soda as a
preventive OF this dread disease. You viii!
probably remember a communication from
one ofour leading physicians on this sub
ject, which was published in The BUrLE.
TIN some few months since. In that com.
munication he gave the theory and invest
cations N the eminent late DR.. Beebe, Of
Chicago, who claimed to have discovered
that this drug if properly administered,
would prove preventive to both scarlet-fc-
Yer and diphtheria. In this little article
will only give the name of the
drug and the way of admin
istering it, adding that from my
own experience | believe it to have all the
efficacy that is claimed for it, as a proven.
tive Of either Of those dread diseases, when
used properly and given fair trial
Sulpho-carbolatc of soda can be obtained
of any druggist at a trihing cost. 1t is
odories', and not unpleasant to the taste.
The dose is half a teaspoonful in half
wine glass full OF water night and morn.
Ing on rising and on retiring. Every mcdi.
cal journal which reaches US has the test.
mony Of one or more eminent physicians in
favor Of this drug as preventive, and as it
can not possibly do any harm, is it not
worth while for every mother to give It
trial! 1t might save the life Of many a
household pet. Respectfully yours,
BEATRICE,
Cairo, Ill., Sept, 18Th, 1879.
