THE testimony for the defense in the
trial of Colonel Snelbaker, at Cincinnati,
heretofore mentioned in THE CRITIC. fully
warrants the assertion that he did only what
almost any other man would do under like
circumstances. 1t was known to him that
Chumley had repeatedly threatened his lifo,
and on one occasion Chumley set upon him
with gang, who brutally assaulted him, and
from whom he had made a narrow escape. On
the occasion of the shooting Chumley was
rushing upon him with his hand on his hip
pocket and shouting abusive epithets. All the
eye-witTesses testified that up to the firing

Ren Hill.

The Macon Messenger thus sadly receives
Ben Hin home to Georgia to die: "The sun
has never lighted up grander way than that
he travelled, and the stars will never shine
upon nobler grave. The monument that he
has built for himself Will be more enduring
than brass Through all the vicissitudes of
triumph and defeat that have marked his
brilliant career he has borne himself like a
knight of the olden time. He has never rid
den down the weak. He has never turned
his back upon the strong. He has never for
gotten or forsaken the defenseless. Why he
should not live yet for years to bless his peo-
pie with kindly counsel and untiring service,
God knows; but sure 1t is the sorrowing be-
wilderment that possesses million Georgia
hearts at the mere mention OF his departure
sets the seal of popular appreciation upon his
glorious career. All honor to the great man
that sits now amid the gathering shadows,
awaiting his summons.
