THE DICKSON CASE.
Bowen Not on Hand But Promises to Be
The Testimony Yesterday.

Bowen Not on Hand But Promises to Be
The Testimony Yesterday.
In the police court yesterday in the hearing
of the Dickson case Mr.. Oliver, member of
the bar, said he had received kilograms from
Bowen informing him that he would be here
to-day.
Col. William p Rice was then called for the
defense. He testified that he had seen Bowen
about the middle of last August in Drivers
saloon. Witness went there with Dickson to
get drink. They went up stairs where they
met three gentlemen. Dickson appeared to
know two of them, and was introduced to the
other gentleman. Witness knew one of them
Sheppard and was introduced to the others
Bowen and Hoover. After taking n drink
witness and Dickson went out, and Dick
son stopped at Shoemaker Il uertZog's.
Witness said there was no second parting
between Dickson and Bowen. They left the
latter upstairs.
Judge Cuppy explained that they were
proving the incidents of the conversation Of
the fifteenth of August.
John p. Ward testified that he met Dickson
at Drivers in the latter part Of August. He
was alone and witness sat down with him and
ordered drinks. Cameron and Bowen soon
Joined thcm and they talked politics. Wit
ness noticed that Bowen was anxious TO get
away. Dickson and Bowen went up to the
balcony. Could not fix the exact date of the
meeting.
II. 1. Gregory, stove dealer, had known
Dickson for twenty years. Had been intro
duccd TO Bowen in the latter part of August.
Witness cOrroborated the story of the pre-
ceding witness regarding the meeting at
Drivers. Bowen badc them good night and
said he was going west that night. +. He then
retired with Dickson.
The defense introduced diagram of Driv-
ors place to contradict some portions of the
test imony of Hoover and Cameron.
Mr.. Driver took the stand and declared that
il would have been impossible for person
standing outside at the spot designated by
Hoover to have seen any one sitting at the
table where Dickson and Driver sat on the
twenty-third,
The prosecution objected to the line of in
quiry.
Mr.. Smith said hcSwanted to show the bad
character of the government witnesses. Sup
pose that Hoover lied deliberately.
The court replied that it might have been
a simple mistake of location. That would not
effect character
Mr.. Smith said perhaps they could show
that Hoover was peeping into the saloon, in
pursuance of an agreement with Cameron.
Judge Smell declined to hear discussion of
the subject.
Mr.. Wells gave notice that he should resist
the calling Of Bowen to the stand when he
appeared.
The court promised to hear counsel on the
point. He should, however, be inclined to
hear Bowen and Driver further.
An adjournment was then had until to-day

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
FATHHR WALSH AND ST. AUGUsTGNE's CHon
NJ, IJc EJHor


FATHHR WALSH AND ST. AUGUsTINE's CHOIR.
To The Editor.
Will you give little space in your paper,
which has large circulation among colored
people. to defense of Father Walsh, of st.
Augrstino's church, and those members of
its choir who participated in the recent con-
cert, against the contemplate attacks made
upon them in weekly sheet which aspircs to
control public sentiment among the colorcd
people, but ii is nothing more than scurrilous
vehicle for envy and malice. do not write
this because Father Walsh and the choir of
his church need defense (the respectable news
papers of the district always having treated
them fairly, even generously, but to expose
the character of the attack upon them, in or
der that people who do not know much of the
pastor or the choir may not be misled. Fair
criticism of the choir would not be objected
to, but the paper in question contained a slur
upon every member of il who Gang ut the late
concert, and it was no doubt prompted by GER
tain members of the choir who did not sing.
Hence these tears" Hence also the attack
upon Father Walsh. The sckly attempt in
this article to be funny explains why such
colorcd organs do not succeed. They should
try to deal as fairly, Mt least, by people of the
race they claim to represent as do the Teputa-
Bile journals of the white people in this city.
Father Walsh is popular with his congrega-
tion, notwithstanding the filings at him, and
the choir appreciates too well the favor in
which it has been held here to be annoyed at
the malicious, but harmless, antics of a darkey
spoiled by the privilege of writing for a So
called newspaper
