GUTHRrrs,s rRIAI.
Opening Developments of m NFoss
Disgusting Case.

opening Developments of a Most
Disgusting Case.
The trial Of VIM. @. Guthrie, for as
sault and battery with intent to CON-
init rape upon Annie Belle Davidson.
commenced this morning at II o'clock.
The circumstances of the case are
quite well known in this community.
The offence was committed on the
evening of the third Of November last.
IN Wilmington, and during the night
Guthrie fled from the city, after close
pursuit by officers Jones and Thomas,
during which he fired revolver at the
officers at uncomfortably close quar-
ters. He succeeded, however, in max
ing his escape. The Governor offered
q reward Of 5000 for his arrest, and he
was traced TO Chicago, where Chief of
Police Maxwell had him arrested and
in company with officer Bickle went
out and brought him TO Wilmington.
At the February term Guthrie was in
dicted, but his counsel secured con-
tinuance of the case until the present
term. Charles b. Lore and II Try
Sharpley, Esqs., are counsel for the
defense, and the State is represented
by Attorney General Gray and Deputy
Attorney General Cooper.
After half dozen challenges, the
following jury was drawn James
Curlett, Charles Paschall, Albert Ly.
nam, Thomas O'Neill, Arthur Jack
son, VIM. F. Green, Samuel gilbert,
Edw. N. Morley, Merritt N. WillItts,
Thos. ID. Lyman, John w. Davis,
Isaac n. Morrison.
The first witness called was the chef
prosecuting witness, Annie Belle
Davidson. She is rather q pretty,
curly haired little girl, nine years old
last Sunday, somewhat small for her
age. After being examined by the
Chief Justice as to the nature of an
oath, the Court decided her to be a
proper subject to be legally sworn, and
the oath was admin stored to her.
The little girl then detailed bow, on
the evening OF November Sd last, she
went 10 the house OF Miss Josephine
Bartlett, near Seventh and Church
81 reefs, for the purpose of going to church
with that lady. She then described how
Guthrie committed the offensive assault
upon her.
Ihe llttle girl was on the stand about
an hour, being subjected to a long cross
by MIR. Lore, which, low
ever, did not cause any material yaria
ton IN her testimony.
Mrs. Davidson, the mother, testified
"a to the condition aud appearance OF
her daughter after the outrage. She said
that when she saw Guthrie lie offered
her first 500 and then $500 to settle the
case, but she refused, aud took The child
70 Sergeant Jones house aud told him
about the affair.
At 1885 O'Clock the Grand Jury came
down with several true bills. The jury
also presented resolution requesting
the Levy Court to provide suitable re-
ceptacle, with lock and key,ln the Grand
Jury room, for the private books and
papers Of the Grand Jury. The ChieI
Justice said the Court would see that
the resolution was sent to the Levy
Court. The jury having finished their
lAoors, the Court complimented them
on their efficiency and discharged them
from further attendance at this term.

or's Message and then adjourned.
The Democrats will caucus on Thursday
night.
1t is pretty plainly intimated that all are
pledged solid to Fair.
Sutro's arrival is anxiously looked for.
There is no doubt but that he will be in
the fight, as he is a thorough hater OF Fair,
and will combine with Sharon on q 6nan-
cial proposition to beat him. He has sent
a dispatch to the effect that he will be
ready to make the fight with coin, but it is
rumored that he has decided not to spend
over 5000, 900. Sharon's money will also
be added to this, but how much is not even
known by his agents.
Bonanza influences are steadily at work
holding the unpledged Democrats up to
their programme. There will certainly be
no break until Sutro or Sharon shows suf-
ficient cause for it
1t is considered that the near approach
of the election, next Tuesday, will help
