PALESTINE, TEX, Dec. IA large
crowd of men, including numbers of
baldheads, assembled at the courthouse
this evening to hear the testimony in the
case OF the State VS.. AXling, charged
with an assault to murder Martin Hin2ie.
Your correspondent has hitherto refrained
from commenting on the domestic features
of this somewhat notorious affair. There
are two women at the bottom of it, The
line of defense is to show that the de-
PENDANTS domestic relations were ruined
by the assaulted party, which the other
side endeavors to rebut by showing that
there was conspiracy to blackmail
Hinzie. The case will consume all of to-
morrow. The developments so far are of
rather revolving nature, but appear quite
interesting to the spectators, who are
apparently deeply interested In the tech
meal points of the case.
