LUNEyBrRG, VA, August 23.-The Jury
are standing the heat and burden Of this
trial very we'll. and there Is less Of sickness
among them than there was at the begin
ming Of last week, and every morning by
daybreak Juror Bruce sounds the reveille
for them upon Garland's violin, which in
: strument the prisoner l. now unable to use
on account Of the stiffness Of bis arm as
the result Of the wound given by Addison.
They keep in good spirits, but beyond
taking an occasional walk down the road
or playing marbles under the shade Of the
trees near the church. or listening to the fid-
ding Of Bruce, they have few amusements.
JURORS SICK WIFE.
They at the hotel-table often talk with
other boarders, but il is 20 well understood
that they must not be talked 10 that the pre-
sence Of Sheriff Ellis in their midst is all but
necessary. Last night Mr.. Garland, the
Juror, heard that his wife was extremely i'll,
and it really seemed that the case would
have to be suspended until he could 90 and
see her; but this morning he heard that
she was better, and upon opening Of court
Mr.. Finch resumed his argument for de-
fence.
Mr.. FiNCH'S ARGUMENT.
/ Mr.. Finch again insisted that Me>srs.
Hinton and Taylor were not here A. repre-
I sentatiycs Of the Commonwealth hut o.
private persecution. Last night hi, prin-
cipal criticism was directed upon Mr.. Tay-
Tor. This morning he expressed surprise
that 4 judge-elect Of the Court Of Appeals.
before whom it was possible that this ease
might have TO 20, had "tied his hand,
with blood-money," and asked il anything
like It was ever heard Of in Virginia. He
called 1.-The gentleman from Baltimore 4
"~wiit witness" FOR telling the jury that
Judge Dickinson refused Garland bail. and
uncandid in emitting 70 tell them that Adj
olson, On hi, death-bed. and when about
to face the great II Am" requested hi,
brothers not to prosecute this case further.
TORTURE ALLEGED.
Mr.. Hinton he accused OF torturine Gar
land and Of woundlng The feelings Of Gar
land's sisters at the examination at Bo,wel's
store. when Garland va, not there. and
confined to his bed 10y reason Of Iii, wound.
Referring to the fact that Mr.. Taylor had
cited here the action . the grand jury. Finch
asked why Mr. Taylor did not tell them that
the grand jury went ont on the court-rccn
and said that they would not have brought
in the Indictment 1t ali. except a- q matter
Of form. and that they knew Garland
would be acquitted. Judge Perry said a.
lu>ious Of thi. character were out Of place
and must cease. But Mr.. Finch declared he
was only replying to Nr. Taylor.
HIS DEATH uPoN HIMSELF.
Mr.. Finch then went on to review ihr evil
dence. and TO apply the instructions and TO
char.e that Addison and Nj, IIatchctt
were trying to drive Garland ont u the
county: that Addison brought his death
upon himself, and Garland's act was purely
sef-dcience. In the course Of his speech he
showed wherein he thought Mr.. Taylor mis-
quoted the Court, Instructions. lie spoke
for four hours, and when, at p. NJ, he
closed. the court took recess till (.
\ grand juror ,tate, that the grand jury
Wa, unanimou, in indictins Garland, but
several were opposed to indicting Boswell
and Roach.
Young Mr.. Orgain relates that what Ad-
olson ,aid on hi, dcath-hed was that he did
not wish his brother Frank TO personally
assume his quarrel. No arrest had then
taken Place.
Mr.. GREENE RESUMES MS ARGUMENT.
