verdict of guilty. The testimony was

a verdict Of guilty. The testimony wa
very yoluminous; but it was prove'
that the accused shot and killed Field
ing Mcdowell on Mr.. 2. B. Workman
place on the 9Th of March with IN En-
field rifle. A peculiarly about the cas-
was that Job johnson, 4 brother of thu
accused, confessed the day after th'
killing that he (Job) did the killing
and he stuck to it to the last, going upor
the witness stand ut the trial and swear
ing to it. Fielding and Job had had
difficulty few hours before the killing
and there was some testimony as to q
difficulty between the two at the time
Of the killing; but the State showed
that this claim of Job that he killed
Fielding was "put up" job between
Job, who appears to be Of weak mind
and his brother Simon. their idea being
that Job would have chance of &C
quittal on the groand ofself-defense, and
Simon would have no chance at all.
Jobs testimony was contradicted by
overwhelming evidence. The prisoner
was defended by James Packer, Esq.
Friday afternoon the convicts were
sentenced as follows:
Oscar Jones-Four months in the
County Jail, and q fine of SIS.
CALVIN Gallman-Four months in the
County Jail, and fine of S..
Milledge Snow-Two years at hard
labor in the State Penitentiary, and a
fine of S25.
Simon Johnson-To be banged Fri
day the 9TH day Of August next. When
johnson was asked by the Clerk, after
the usual form, what he had to say why
sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced against him, he replied-"I'm
not guilty; I'm not guilty. at ALL"
Judge Fraser, in passing sentence,
said: Simon johnson, you have been
convicted of killing a man who was
living on the same plantation with you;
one of your companions. Being put on
your trial, you have had every privilege
the law allowed you; you have been
defended with great deal Of zeal and
with ability. After long and tedious
investigation, the jury have found you
guilty. Notwithstanding the fact that
your unfortunate brother has volun-
teered to take the crime upon his own
shoulders, the jury were satisfied that
you were the murderer. After careful
consideration, I can find no fault with
their verdict.
You stand here not only to answer to
the laws of your country, but with your
hands imbrued in the blood of your fel-
bowman. You did the deed without
justification Or excuse. With strong
hands and ungovernable passion you
