Marks, who bad been brought by his father
10 surrender himself to the witness as JUS
tice OF the peace. Carleton Msrks stated he
had killed Mr.. BaiD, and q pistol was de-
liyered 10 witness with which Carleton pro-
iessed to have done the killing. Carle-
ton also stated that he shot him twice.
Witness found two barrels OF the pistol
empty. Witness then issued a warrant OF
arrest against Marks, which was served by
special constable, snd Young Marks was taken
into custody. "a pistol was exhibited aud
identified by witness as the one delivered to
him by Carleton Marks.) Young Marks bad
first come 70 wtness's Office 10 surrender
himself. but witness was absent. On
witness's return he found Marks In
Judge Shelton's custody or under his
protection. A preliminary exa mination was
waived by Marks's counsel, and tho case was
sent on to the County Court. Alter the sur
render, witness went TO the place where the
shooting occurred. yousg Marks remaining
in Judge Shelton's room TIL witness re-
turned, after which Marks was taken 10 the
county Jail by Special Constable Kitchen.
DR.. Nicholson testified that as acting coro-
ner be viewed Bans body, which he found
laid ont in the parlor of the Balm residence.
This was about three hours after the shoot
iBc. Carleton Marks surrendered himself
between II aud O'Clock.
QUESTION.
Or. Nicholson was asked what, from the
appearance OF the wound and the track OF the
ball as indicated by the probe. was the posi-
tiop OF the person that fired the shot. lie
replied that person standing behind Mr..
Balm might, il Balm had turned his head. in
licted the wound with the pistol fired from
hs left hand. a shot fred from this posi-
ton would probably take the direction as
shown 10y the probe. Both question and
answer were excepted to bv the defence and
the exception was Oyerruled.)
IMPORTANT.
This testimony is OF importance sc
strengthening the theory Of the prosecution
that BAN was asssssinated by being shot
from behind.
DR.. Nicholson stated that this wound was.
IN his opinion. a fatal one. He then pro-
ceeded 10 describe the wound in the left
breast. The ball had entered bctween.the
second and third ribs. 10 probably pene-
trated either the pulmonary artery or the
aorts. lie did not probe this wound nor
examine il. Or. Nichol.0n further stated
that the wound in the face could not have
been made By a ball fired by person stand
ng in front Of BAN while Fam was ad-
yanciug toward or standing in front OF such
person.
This closed DR.. Nicholsou's direct ex-
animation, and the court at j:45 O'Clock ad-
j0urned tai o'clock tomorrow morning.
II is understood DR.. NichOson's cross
examination will be ycrs lengthy and eX'
hausiiye, q. his testimony is by long odds
tne most importaut thus far adduCed and
bears heavily against the case OF the accused.

cordial reception in Richmond, began an en-

Mr.. Robsou's. His play, "The Woman
Hater," is an eccentric and well written
comedy in four acts and we'll salts the powers
