total of the marriages in the county

member that many parties have hied

TIE JoLLIFF TRIAL IN GREENE
CoUNTY-JoLLITF CONVICTED OF MIS-
DEMEANoR.-Many of our readers,
and especially those who know the
parties concerned, will remember the
shooting affray that occurred in Car
michaels last July, when James Jol-
lift, who was at one time resident
of this county, shot and dangerously
wounded his son-in-law, Samuel
Hathaway. The Waynesburg Mes
senger of last week gives the follow
ing account of the trial, which no
doubt will be of interest to some of
our readers:
By far the most interesting case
before the Courts last week, was
that of the Commonwealth VS. James
Jolliff, ESQ.,, of Carmichaels, for the
shooting of his son-in-law, Samuel
Hathaway, at the place named, some
time last summer. AS we gave our
readers full account of the ARRAY
at the time, it is not necessary to re-
hash it at this time, and we shall
not do so. AS the parties to the
trial were well, and for the most
part favorably known to the people
of that section, the case naturally
excited deep interest, and the spa
cious court room was crowded with
auditors from the opening of the
case on Tuesday morning until the
close on Friday, at which time the
Judge charged the jury in an able
and impartial manner. AS we have
not the space even if we had the in
clination, to give the evidence in full,
we refrain from giving any part of
it, as anything short of the whole
would be unsatisfactory to the read
er. The Commonwealth was ably
represented by j. A. j. Buchanan,
ESQ.,, of this place, and Boyd Crum-
rine, Esq, of Washington, Pa, while
Hon. A. A. Purman and R. F. Dow
ney, Esq, espoused the cause of the
defense. An unusually large num-
Der of witnesses, men and women, of
the most reputable character from
Carmichaels and vicinity, were ex-
amined pro and con in the most ex-
haustive manner, occupying the time
of the Court, together with the dis
cussion of law points presented, up
to Thursday evening, at which time
protracted night session was held,
and Hon. A. A. Purman made most
logical and eloquent argument for
the defense, proving the skillful and
adroit lawyer at every turn. He was
followed by Mr.. Crumrine in decid-
edly able and argumentative address,
which, like the effort of Mr.. Purman,
called forth frequent encomiums
from the many listeners who literally
damned the Court room. On Friday
morning after the charge by Judge
Inghram, the jury retired, and after
short time returned a verdict,
THAT the defendant, James Jollif,
was not guilty as to the first count
of the Indictment, which charged
the said Jolliff with felonious as
sault and wounding with intent to
kill, but guilty as to second count,
which charged him with unlawfully
wounding, without intent to kill
This verdict, so far as we were able
to learn, occasioncd little surprise,
and was generally well received,
