DEKALD, MISS, Sept 10, 10.
Special to the Mercury.l
The State closed its testimony in the
caso against Henry J. Gully at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. The attempt has
hecu made to establish a conspiracy on
the part of the defendant and others
10 kill w. w. Chisholm, and j. L. Gil
mcr and Charles Rosenbaum and that
in carving this into effect they killed
Cornelia Cliisolm and several others.
The testimony from the numerous wit
nesses ON the part of the prosecution
has been to show that the dependant
was present at the killing OF Gilmcr,
that he had u gun ut the time, that he
entered the Jail with a gun, fired the
shot that wounded Cornclia and Judge
Chisolm. and on coming out of the jail
was heard to say that eve have done
what we came to do" and other dec
larations going TO show the common
design. Witnesses were also intro
duced to prove that on the night after
the burial of Jno. w Gully a meeting
was held Mt the clubhouse of the latter
to discuss and mature the conspiracy
and TO effect some plan of carrying 1t
out, and the conclusion was: that a
large body of men should come IN
town together armed and take the
lives of three parties above named
Chisolm, Gilmer and ROsenbaum. On
this point the witnesses testified that
the only object of the meeting, and the
only question spoken of, was to discuss
the practicability of going to town to
aid in the arrest of ChisOlm and 9th
ers for whom warrants had been issu-
ed for the murder of JnO. W. Gully,
in case they should resist the Sheriff,
as from their characters it was more
than probable they would resist, and
the result of The meeting was a deter
| mination that sufficient number OF
men should go to town that day with
arms SO as to give the necessary assist
ance.
The defence thus far, which was be-
gun last night at o'clock, has been
crushing to the testimony Of the State
The witnesses for the defendant, who
of course are to be believed as much
so as those of the prosecution, give en-
tirly different statements of the shoot

to elect them. Write this down in
