The Haynes Trial.

The LIGHT is informed by one of the attOr-
news engaged in the prosecution of Haynes,
for the murder of District Attorney Cum
mings, in Laredo, that the trial excited consid-
cradle attention and great difficulty was eX-
perienced in getting jury, al the prominent
citizens being disqualified by their intelligence.
The defence was solely based upon the alleged
seduction of Miss Haynes, which was not
proven in court, and which the prosecution
strongly denied. The verdict, the lawyer says,
was one of public sympathy with a SUPPOSE
1itious wrong. and is not regarded as being con-
ducive to the interests Of law or order.
