GaANADA, Mss, June 30.-Ths trial Of
the State sgainst Vernon White, charged
with the ass@ssi nation of Macon Lsigh at
Charleston last September, was concluded to-
night. The case was opened last Tuesday
morning and the State closed to-day. The
defense offered but two witnesses and closed,
relying on the weakness of the prosecution.
Col. w. H. Fitzgerald and William Marsha all
represented the prosecution, and Gen. E. G.
Wslthall, Capt. w. s. Eskridgs and Spencer
Bsiley the defense. After speech Of two
hours by Mr.. Marshall the defense through
Gso. Wal.hali submitted the case without
argument on their side. The Jury was out
about two hours, and returned q vervict oi
no guilty, which was received amidst the
wi iidest ten,husiasm-men tossing theirhats in
tbs sir and ladies waving their handker.
ch tefs,. The courtroom was crowded with
men, women and children, as it had bser
during the entire trial. The applause or
the return of the verdict was &C
great that the judge and sheri1
could not preserve order. The testimony
was purely circumstantial. Young White
was entirely eIonerated. The attorneys fol
the defense conducted the care with msrke<
aSfii.y and sustained their well-earaed repu
tations. The general sentiment here sus
tatins the verdict. This was one of the mos
noted trials ever had in this section.

the original cartel were carried out
until Eiam WAS sho'. The cartel pro-
we're hurt, the word would be given for a sec
ond round, and that then the parties should
continue firing and advance, if they chose.
On the second round Elan received Beirne's
first shot in his thigh, and staggered, or tell,
and exclaimed, II am hit." Beirne ceased
firing, and his seconds declared their prpci-
pal sati.fied. Beirne then raised his hat, sa-
luted his opponents, walked to a carriage,
which he entered, and was driven away.
Elan was helped to his carriage and taken
/ to Lynnwood, the residence OF Lieut.. Gov.
Lewis, in Rockingham county, only few
