MURDER TRIAL.
The trial of eAbsalom Russell fer the
murder of Dean alias Thompson in this
county last July, is set for to-day at
Jonesville. The circumsta ntial evidence
against him seems al most conclusive.
The murder was c old-blooded and un-
provoked-the man killed being asleep
in his bed at home. A son of Dean was
also seriously hurt at the same time by
the murderer. The general impression
Is that Russell will be convicted.
