took place INSIDE the par, near the Jurors.
brother of the prisoner had run up to Mr..
pistol at his bosom, exclaimed, "Oh, God
damn you, I've got you now" Before he could
fire the pistol, not having been cooked when
presented, some bystander grasped his hand
and turned the muzzle aside. Mr.. Bronson
backed to the judges stand and cried, "Give
me pistol, give me pistol somebody Don't
you see that man is trying to shoot me?"
Judge Bucknor gave his commands to the
officers, who, numerous as they were, were al
most powerless to control the vast and raging
throng. Beholding the man with the pistol, he
shouted: "Mr. Sheriff. disarm that man."
The sheriff already had his hands full guarding
the prisoner and attending to the jury, and
the order not being obeyed instantly. he called
to the clerk and bystanders to disarm the man
who was struggling to hold on to his weapon.
Among the bystanders was the deputy sheriff
of Fayette, who took hand instantly, assisting
to make the arrest, while Slew Baldwin, cir
cult clerk, clearing the tables and
chairs, succeeded in getting hold of the up
lifted pistol and wrenching it from the
mans grasp. On the instant he was ordered to
prison. During the excitement the prisoner
was locked up with the jury in the adjoining
room. When order was restored Senator Yor-
hees arose to explain to the court that he had
not intended t6 raise q disturbance by his re-
mark, and after an earnest conversation be-
tween the Senator and Bronson, the gentlemen
agreed that their remarks had been the result
of misunderstanding. The jury and prison
er were then ordered to be brought back into
court, and the trial to proceed. Arnold came
out with his wife clasped about his neck and
when he took his place beside his counsel she
sat upon his knee, refusing to be separated
from him and looking defiance at any and all
that should attempt separation.

not guilty. The killing occurred on the 10Th
of December, at Richmond, where both men
were prominent and respected citizens. The
mother of their wives had died few months
previously, leaving an estate of $l5, 600, with
Little as executor. Administration of the
estate led to personal i'll feeling between the
two men, whose wives were to share it equally,
and on the morning named Arnold went to Lit
ties Office, and, in the absence of any witness,
shot him dead. The theory of self-defense,
upon which Arnold was acquitted, was based
less upon the testimony of witnesses than upon
. probability that an alteration would take
place when the two parties met. The verdict
caused intense excitement in the court room.
Arnold 9 friends shouted, and surrounded him,
while his wife covered him with her body to
prevent his being killed. A strong guard took
the prisoner to his room.
The examination of Arnold's brother for
drawing a revolver on Bronson was concluded
this evening. He was fined 81, 900 and sen-
tenced to State prison for one year.
