please the Court, 1 would like to examine i"
said Mr.. Boyle. The picture was handed
to him. He and his client examined it,
laughed e1ultantly, and the lawyer said he
had no objection to the jury looking at the
photograph. The jury took it, laughed i'm
moderately, and handed it TO the attorney
| general, who looked.worried. He whispered
to the detective, who became excited and
began fumbling in his pockets again. Curly
had made q mistake. He had shown up his
extra ace of diamonds. The next dive brought
out the regular picture, which indelibly
established the guilt Of the defendant.
The defense was unable to meet this dam
ming testimony. Mr.. Boyle labored with q
great deal of ingenuity to prove an abb, but
he had to fall back on old principle of
law. Several witnesses were introduced to
prove the good character of the defendant.
General Turner offered to introduce witnesses
to show that this was not the first time that
the defendant had trifed with young ladies'
photographs; that this was one in Q series
Of similar cases. Colonel Boyle said he would
admit all that. The fact was, his client was
. monomaniac ON the subject of taking young
ladies' photograph.
Judge Spelman decided that this would
open up too wide field of inquiry. Alter
the various speeches, the Judge charged the
jury to find for the plaintiff, which they did
without leaving their seats. The assessment
of damsges was left to him. The Judge said
that owing to the fact that the defendant
was q newspaper man and had many ways of
getting even, he would remit sentence 10
the Island He therefore fined him SIS and
costs and had the picture returned to the
plaintiff. Both parties thanked Judge Spell
man for the able and impartial way in which
he had discharged his duty IN the case.

A Blow ON the Head.

| Another cowardly deed, committed a,
usual by negro rufian, occurred yesterda az
morning on the Poplar street boulevard
| opposite the residence of Col. 81. A. Mont.
| gomery. The scene of the probable murder
was tine little grocery of John Genochio, an
Italian, over seventy years old. This old
| fellow has been peculiarly unfortunate.
Among the negroes his wealth has been con-
sidered something fabulous, and thus he has
been an object Of cupidity. A few years
ago he and his wife were both assaulted and
robbed. The assault committed Yesterday
will in all likelihood bring about the old
mans death. About 10 O'Clock
A NEGRO RoUsTABoUr
and hard citizen generally named Alfred
Ross came into the store and called for
several articles. He purchased twenty-five
worth of coffee. Then he called for ten cents
worth of nails. The old man stopped down
to get them, and while he was bent over
Ross made murderous assault upon him
with large rock he held in his hand The
rock broke all to pieces, and the blood
spurted from the old mans head and he fell
senseless to the floor. The negro
WAS GETTING READY TO STEAL
when some one was heard by him approach
ing. He accordingly ran hurriedly from
the grocery. As he went in and as he went
out OF the store he was seen by
colored boy who is in the employ of Col
onel Montgomery. The news of the at
tempted murder flew rapidly, and soon
body of men were out in pursuit of the ne
gro. He ran 30 rapidly that some of his
pursuers seeing the impossibility of over
taking on foot, got their horses. When he
saw that he began jumping fences. He ran
like scared deer, and it seemed as if MOTH
ing daunted him. Over fences, rough fields
and roads he ran without hesitation. When
ne was finally captured, he was painting like
a brute at bay, and
NEARLY ALL HIS CLOTHES
had been torn from him. The sight of
pistol, displayed by his nearest pursurer,
He ran over mile before he was caught. |
He is now in the stationhouse. He stoutly |
2 aintained his innocence when questioned. |
He states that he came in on the Halliday |
md put up at his home on Commerce
ind Main. When asked why he
lad gone out on the boulevard, he said he
ind his wife had had fuss and he had gone
'ut in the country because she had had
warrant sworn out against him. When
Questioned as to the cause of
HIS LIGHTNING FLIGHT,
lie said he wasn't going to stand still when
nen were coming at him with pistols. He
rent TO see Ross's wife, and she denied that
hey had ever had any quarrel at all, or
hat she had any intention of getting out
Tarrant. She said she had threatened TO
o SO some time ago if he didn't give her
honey with which to support herself. She
aid further in support of her statement,
nat Ross staid with her Sunday night.
THE CONDITION OF THE OLD MAN
very critical. DIR. Willett was summoned
} his side, and he pronounced the wounds
cry serious. The fact that Genochio is
venty or seventy-fve years old, and the
ct that he lost great deal of blood render
is recovery extremely doubtful. The blow
as terrible one. 1t will 60 hard with the
sgro if the case proves fatal one.
