Ten witnesses were examined, five of whom testified ih positive man ner to the guilt of the accused, and five were equally positive that he was innocent. Tue evidence Of the former five was considered the strongest by the jury, and after three days consultation returned a verdict of guilty.

 HISTORY OF THE CRIME
 Onihe 26th of January, 1874, Ben Bookout and Sam Osborn left Dover in q drunken state and went to the residence of man named Eskridgc, two miles from McAllister's, arriving about dark; there they met James Mccoy. Bsokout had misunder- standing with old man McAlllster about some stock. He proposed that they go ever and give McAllister q whippll Z. This they agree1 to do. When they reached McAllister's the

family was gathered around the hearthstone shelling corn; the doors were barred up and the intruders denled admittance unless they told their business. The door was burst down with fence rail and Bookout and Osborne grappled with the old man. He was very strong and was almost match for the men. Mrs. McAllister with axe in hand come to the rescue of her husband, when Bookout shot her through the arm. Matters were so serious now that Mccoy rushed in from the outside and deliberately shot the old man through the breast killing him in stantlv.
 Mccoy was tried at the November, 1874, term of the circuit court for assault with intent to kill Mrs. Me Allister and was acquitted. Soon after thls he made his escape, going to Texas, where he passed under the assumed name of James McCaulcy. In May, 1885, no was arrested by Deputy sheriff John Young at Clarks vile, Texas, and returned to this county where he has been confined since.

 You have heard of repacious stom- achs. To illustrate one of this charac- ter, it is but necessary to mention Col. Ben. T. Embry's recent experience with the l.. R. and Ft. Smith railway. Col. Embry bought him buggy in Lit tie Rock, and went to the depot to ship by railroad. The freight on his buggy he was told was twelve dollars from Little Rock to Atkins, or the sum oi 20 cents per mile. Col. Embry was moi quite this anxious to ship his buggy by rail, so he went and got $3.00 rate and shiped it by boat. What sort of maws have railroads anyway when they have you under their thumb.
