The Dozier Case.

hV ital VI ShaS. DoZieI, CtlalS-
ed with the murder of Robt. Gaff
nev, in Pinevil!c, OIL the 9th of Oc-
toher, and which has been going on
ever since Monday, the I'd day of
Novemhe,, (when only nine jury
men were. .impaunelled, the general
venire being exhausted at the time,
the Judge ordered u new list of
talisman and the case vas proceed
ed with on Thursday, the other
three jarymen being chosen,) was
concluded on Monday.
Ever since the case was com
menced the greatest interest by the
people here has been manifested.
The court room has been crowded
during the whole trial, and on Mon
day, when it was known that the
case wonid he finished the seats
were all filled.
The evidence was concluded at
an early hour on the above named
day, and the arguments commenced
shortly afterwards, Mr.. Moseley
leading off for the prosecution. He
spoke fully two hours, and was ex-
plicit and clear throughout, his ar.
gument, in which he very fairly
reviewed the evidence adduced be-
fore the jury, In closing he said
that Dozier was guilty and ought
to be punished, Such crimes were
doing the land we lived in harm,
andsthe sooner stopped the better.
Mr.. Hunter, counsel for the pris-
oner, next followed, speaking near
ly four hours. In his, own peculiar
style he reviewed the law and the
evidence, and was strong indeed in
his argument. Dozier, said he, un-
doubtedfy thought his life in dan
ger when he killed Gafney; the
latter had made threats previous TO
the homicide against the prisoner,
and would, had the occasion pre-.
sented itself carried the same into
execution. The speaker quoted
from Sargent S. Prentiss, the famed
orator of Mississippi, and which
seemed to, strike all present very
forcibly. He argued the laws of
self-defense, and took up law book
after law book, reading therefrom
passage after passage, proving his
theory, In closing he asked the
jury if they were going to take Do
zier from his wife and children and
forever to consign him to the State
penitentiary, and when he did the
sohs and cries of the prisoners sis
ter and his little children, all nest
led around him, were heard all over
the Court room, and everything was
hushed in silence. Mr.. Hunters
defense was an able one.
Next came the closing argument
by tho District Attorney. Our
friend John G. Wicklife, was at
himself; he seemed to understand
his position. He said he knew a
base crime had been committed,
and as the servant Of the State of
Louisiana, it was his duty to try
and have the perpetrator thereof
punished, and severely. He was
eloquent at times, and seemed to
show feeling and emotion through
ont his discourse. David, the only
ve-u;tnaes cold ha hod cuorn m

The work of repairing the washout at
the corner OF Broadway and Frank street
Is going right along under the recent ap-
%propriation Of the council of $500 for
that purpose. The bank OF the creek
had so fallen away at that point as to
endsnger the building occupied by Alex
0bert, and even the bridge across the
creek was threatened. The big hole is
being filled with willows and dirt, and It
looks as il It was to be a permanent stay

In the bed of the creek just below that

New Fire Districts.

Chief Walters, of the fire department,
ia re. distrlctlng the city 80 as to give bet
ter protection in case of their being two
alarms at or near the same time. AS it
has been, an alarm, for instance, from
near the transfer would call all the de-
partment at that extreme of the city, and
If a fire should break out in the eastern
part of the city at that time, there would
be no apparatus near by to fight it.
Under the new arrangement the city
Is divided into three districts,
the eastern part being the first, the cell
trail portion the second district, and the
rest forms the third. An alarm will now
only call out two of the companies, leav-
Ing one In the house, 80 as to be In readi-
ness In case there should be an alarm
sent In from some other part of the city.
In case of a great fire, requiring the
presence OF the entire department, a gen.
eral alarm can be sounded. The new
arrangement will go into effect In a day
