The Abbeville messenger. (Abbeville, S.C.) 1884-1887, 1885-10-27

May it not be laid ut the door Of the
press that their ~licence in debating to
~jurics has int1amed the public mind and
caused them to take the law in their
hands? Who knows but that the hor-
rible homicide in Edgeield, but a short
time ago, was inspired by the detest-
able articles Of the News and
Courier and the Press and Banner.
and who Knows what may yet follow
If they are not made to call a halt.
During the progress Of this case my
heart has been touched and panied to
have beheld the humor aud %nippancy
occasioned by even the color Of one OF
little green book" | have likewise
been panied at the array Of lions

beasts that have been jokingly brought
in array before your minds eye. provok-
ing mirth and laughter as If this temple
of Justice had for n moment been turn
cd into Il circus or menagcrie for the
display Of '~lions' bengal tigers"
''houSe catS'' and other wild animals.
No gentlemen this is no time for mirth
when the life Of one --of your
citizens, humble though he be, is tremb-
ling in the balance; when those who
are neal and dear 10 him sit
with their heads bowed and hearts
crushed, and to whose feelings the
sound of revelry is as huart-rending As
the scrcaking Of the screws III the coffin
lid, which shuts us finally from the
sight Of one who was dearest to us in
life, or the dull thud of the dirt upon
the coffin in the grave. when the body
is inferred in its last resting place.
There is Il certain Solcmnity always
attached to the trial Of Il cause in
this honorable Court, and if there ever
was a time when the smile should give
place to the tear. God knows this is the
time.
The counsel for the State has been
very particular to 80 through all the
details of the facts attending and pre-
viouSt to the homicide for the purpose
Of showing malice when there was
really no necessity for doing so. Be-
conse the law presumes malice from
the mere part Of killing and the States
Case would have just so efectually
been made out from the mere proof Of
killing as by proof Of all these minute
circumstances, for after all the only
issue before you is, Was the prisoner
OF unsonnd mind 1T the time Of the
homicide The same counsel very
l~ngeniously argued that the plea meant
that the prisoner was not Of unsound
mind at anv time before or after the
homicide. This is not the purport Of
the plea. 1t does say that the prisoner
was OF unSonnd mind at the time Of the
homicide, which is all we have to
establish. but does not say that the
prisoners mind was % affected before
or after that time.
Let NE before | remark upon the
facts of any plea caution You as to
what is meant by unSoundncss Of mind
and ask that you do not confound it
with idiocy, lunacy, Insanity or crazi-
ness in the common acceptation Of these
terms, what we claim by unsoundncss,
is that from certain causes which I will
discuss the prisoners mind was i'm
paired to such an extent that he was
responsible i'll the eyes of the law
for his act.

were these strange spells. They cart be
vertigo, because DR.. Waddell says a person
having vertigo can't live under an attack over
four or five minutes, and the testimony shows
that Johns strange attacks lasted sometimes
three or four hours. We, though, are willing
for you to say vertigo for some, and if vertigo
does not sntify you as to all the attacks, say
as the State urges-Suustroke, or even faint
ing attacks. Call them what you may, they
are only symptoms of something behind.
Mr.. Smith closed with a pathetic and cf-
~fcctive appeal to the Jury.

Chased for the defense. He chal-
ienged the world to produce such Il prosecu-
ton MS this. He meant what he said. He
could scarcely see the jury GU account of the
number of counsel for the State. He dwelt
that the defense was weighed down by the le-
gal talent of the prosecution. He next took
up the press OF the State. He handled pretty
roughly the reports of the former trial of
Ferguson, published in the Netys and Courier.
He thought it time to call u halt to the press,
He thanked his friend. Gen. Hemphill, for his
words when he said, "it is high time that
criminals should be tried upon the facts of
the case" When he saw the vigor of the
prosecution it was hard to keep cool. His in
dIgnation sometimes ran away with him like
a wh'rlwind. The Speaker seemed to be es-
peclaily interested in the "head lines" and
utterances of the News ind Gurier, as he
would from time to time refer to them. In
tact, the newspapers and the States counsel
seemed to have been very much in the way of
the speaker, and he could rot get rid of the
subject. He thought there was no doubt
about the guilt of Ferguson, if the papers
were to be believed. He said if you find Fer
gnson not guilty you maylook out. You will

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
A COlored Man Attempts to Kill William r
Carey with an Ak.

Mr.. William R. Carey, No. PA Blackford
street, assistant foreman of the Carey cooper
shops had a very narrow escape from being
killed yesterday afternoon by Zach Martin. a
colored man, who assaulted him with an ak,
striking him terrible blow on the head. Mar
tin had been driver in the employ of the
works, but was discharged some time ago. on &C.
count of carelessness. Since then he has been
doing odd jobs about town, and has been drink
ing considerable. About o'clock yesterday
evening Mr.. Carey went into the engine-room.
where Martin was standing, and made some
passing remarks about the weather. Mar
tin replied, in a conventional sort of way,
and, as Carey turned and started out the door,
the negro siezed an ak which stood near by, and
struck him on the head. with the evident pur-
pose of killing him. The butt of the ak struck
Mr. Carey just behind the left ear. tearing it's
way through heavy felt cap which he wore.
and making an indentation in the skull but not
fracturing it. When Mr.. Carey fell. Martin ran
out and has not been seen since, although the
police are looking for him. The wounded man
was taken to the Surgical Institute, where his
injuries were attended to, and thence to his
house. Last night he was sitting up and resting
easy, and he is not likely to experience any dan
gerous trouble from his hurt. 1t is wonder,
however, that he was not instantly killed. as
that was the evident intention of his assailant.

The Request OF the Girls.

A curious petition was that
which was addressed in 1888 to the
Governor of South Carolina by
sixteen maidens of Charleston. 1t
ran thus 'The humble petition OF
all the maids whose names are
underwritten. Whereas we, the
humble petitioners, are at present
in very melancholy disposition OF
mind, considering how all the
bachelors are blindly captivated
by widows, and we are thereby
neglected ; in consequence OF this
our request is that your E1cellency
will for the future order that nc
widow presume to marry any
young man till the maids are pro
vided for; or else to pay each OF
them a fine for satisfaction for
invading our liber ties; and like
wise a fine to DO levied on all such
bachelors as shall be married tC
widows. The great disadvantage
it is to us maids is that the widows
by their forward carriage, do snap
up the young men, and have the
vanity to think their merit beyont
ours, which is great imposition
to us, who ought to have th'
preference. This is humbly recon
mended to your Excellency's con
sideration, and hope you will per
NIT no further insults. And W.
poor maids, in duty bound, vii
ever pray.
