stable Hogbin, and Harris Ogden, the
dairyman, concluded the evidence for
the prosecution.
Col. Potter opened for the defence,
and told the Jury the salient points of
the common law as to what constituted
d1sorderly house, none of which had
been proven to have been violated in
this case. Whatever this house NAV
have been after the first of January
last, does not affect this case in any
way, and the Jury, he said had no
right to consider that at all. Up to
the first of January, the defence pro-
posed to show that the house had been
kept in g. quiet and orderly manner,
and the people who had been seen
coming from there intoxicated, would
be shown not to have got intoxicated
at the establishment of Tuft & Fox.
These men, too, have gone out of this
business, and the counsel thought that
fact should weigh favorably with the
Jury.
Joseph B. Fox, one of the defend
ants, was.first placed upon the stand.
He swore that the place and business
carried on by them, of botaing beer,
etc., was carried on ia quet aand or
derly manner.
George Donaghay tested ias to
what he knew of the Place He, at
first, had heard nothing daroeat5ary 10
its character, but finally admitted, on
cross, examination, that he had hes4d
some people express then,selves as Rot
liking the place, while o+heA said it
was all right He had heard it stvIed
the "Whistling Buoy" Those persons
who were in sympathy with rum
selling, thought it was kept all right,
while those who were of opposite sym
pathy, did not.
Simon w. Daley, who lives in the
first house north of Tuft & Fox's place.
said, as for peace and good order,
according to bis views the place was
kept as quietly, and with as good
order as place of that kind could be
kept. He, nor his family were ever
disturbed by any thing originating
there. He furnished the place with
Ice. On cross-examination he said he
had seen men about there, before the
first OF last January, who had been
drinking; he never saw man lying
about the road drunk; he had seen
men in the grove lying down, but did
not go to them, to see whether they
were drunk or not. He had never
heard anything notorious concerning
the house, only what was common
talk

Trenchard and Harry Rice were all
sworn before Mr.. Tuft was called to
the stand. They all testified that the
place was ia every way correctly con-
Quoted, as far as they could tell.
Chester Hustled and John n Nolan follow
ed Tuft. Their evidence was of a
kind as was to have been expected,
and as has been heretofore detailed in
these cases.
Daniel Scull was the last witness
called, Court adjourning while he
was being sworn.
Two of the Jurors are Seventh day
men, and tried hard to get off the
Jury, but without avail.
SATURDAY MORNING.
The same old case was resumed this
morning, with Daniel Scull on the
stand. The effort with this witness
was to break down the evidence of
Frank Tyler, who had sworn that he
had got drunk at Tuft s. Fox's place,
ON specified night. Mr. Scull said he
saw Tyler come in the place at that
time; he was so drunk when he came
there, that Nolan and Hustled refused
to sell him any liquor; his friends got
him in his buggy, and drove his horse
away.
William Murphy was put on the
stand for the same purpose. He swore
that Tyler was drunk when he came

dered away by those in attendance.
BENZ. L. Tuft was put upon the
stand, to prove an article which ap-
peared in a newspaper of yesterday.
The article was not admitted in evil
dence and the defense rested.
Col. Potter began the summing up
with a plea to the Jury to lay aside
for the time being, all personal bias
and prejudices, and render a verdict in
accordance with the evidence as it APP
peared to them beyond a reasonable
doubt. He dwelt upon the natural
love of the race for the system of trial
by Jury-a system unknown as here
practised, by any nation in the world,
except those Of the Anglo Saxon race.
The rasping voice of the Prosecutor
ia summing up for the State was heard
in no uncertain tones. He had the
damaging points of the evidence on
