HUSTINGS COURT.
The smith Case Postponed UnrII the rebruar,

The smith Case Postponed unIiI the February
Term.
The Hastings Court met yesterday at
ii o'clock to try W. r. Smith. Drs.
McCaw and Johnson, who by request
Of the Court had been down to the jail
to see the prisoner, reported that they
thought him physically able to stand
the trial, and Mr.. Smith was accord
ingly brought up from prison. Those
who were in the courtroom at the time
waiting for the trial to commence had
been joking and laughing, but upon
Mr.. Smiths appearance there fell a
hush upon every one and a look OF pity
was on every countenance.
Before his incarceration-over thir-
teen months ago-Mr. Smith weighed
about 240 pounds, had bright COM
plexion, and look of intelligence in
every glance. When brought into the
courtroom yesterday morning he ap-
peared as weak and tottering as fee
BILE old man, his clothes hanging loosely
on him, his face peaked and worn.
When he sat down it seemed that he
could scarcely hold up his head for
physical weakness. The slightest noise
startled him. His nervous system is
evidently badly shattered.
Soon after Mr.. Smiths arrival Mr..
Witt, Commonwealth's attorney, rose
and said If the Court please, to-day
has been set for the trial Of the case of
W. r. Smith. ! am ready for the Com
monwealth. But no man can look upon
the appearance Of the prisoner and not
know at once that his physical cOndi-
tion is such that it would be cruel to
place him on trial. The criminal laws
of this land should be executed in
mercy as well as in justice, and no man
with heart in his body can deem il,
otherwise than torture to put the ac-
cused, in his present condition, upon a
trial. | agree that the case be post
poned until the next term.
Judge Crump, counsel for Mr.. Smith,
addressing the Court, said: We were
about to make the same motion, and it
must be apparent to the Court that the
physical condition of the accused is such
that he is not competent to advise with
his counsel or to undergo trial. No
man with human heart can look upon
the accused without emotions of pity,
and only one in whose veins runs water
instead of blood could insist upon sub
jecting him to such an ordeal. We
hope, therefore, that the Court, after
seeing the accused, will, on its own mo-
ton, continue the case.
Judge Atkins agreed to continue the
case until the February term Of the
Court.
Mr.. Smith was recommitted to Jail.
The Hastings Court to-day will be
engaged in the trial of the motion pend
ing for the reduction of the assessments
for 1885 on real estate.
