EEKToS, Sept. "a The trial of Captain
James s. Mitchell for granddaughter in
the killing Of George w. Oldham, began
yesterday at noon, in the circuit court for
Cecil county, Judges Robinson, Wickes
and Stump presiding.
Counsel for defense demurred TO the
indictment and the court over ruled the
demurrer.
Oldham rented Q farm In Sassafras
Neck from relatives OF Mitonell with the
stipulation that Mitchell should reside
with the renter. The quarrel began over
hoe; first words, then blows. 1t is not
made clear whether Oldham fell or
vas knocked down by Mitchell
with club. There is evidence
that Mitchell struck Oldham in the face
when he was down. II also appears that
Oldham, had club in his hands and
struck at Mitchell. The frAoas took place
on May 10th aud Oldham expired on the
26th Of the same month. All the
evidence for the prosecution was taken
yesterday.

siuoe July that he only rsce'vad 81 a
