The grand jury of Lafayette
county in session last week at Ok.

Charles 3. Howry for the killing of
Hon. Ii. NJ. Sullivan in August last,
aud dismissed the case. The OK
ford Falcon says:
We know nothing OF the evidence
they brought about that caused
them TO render such y decision, but
we DO know that the evidence OF
some of the witnesses before said
jury WAS not in the least calculated
to convince them that Mr.. Howry
acted in SeIt.defenSe. There is
much complaint aud dissatisfaction
at theil action in the matter among
our best law-ablding citizens who
think that the cast has been very
unjustly acted upon; that the law
has been ignored in the matter and
that there will be further investisa.
tiOn of the case in the future. Two
of the jurors were for murder, FIVE
for man slaughter and the balance
for dismissal.
