WIN Goodiey be pardoaede

If the jury which will pass upon
Taylor E. Goodleys case find him guilty
of manslaughter as indicted, it is
probable that an effort will at once
be made to secure a pardon for
him. The defence will probably
endeavor to show that Cooley did not
point the pistol at Turner and may secure
his acquittal The shooting was doubt
less accidental, but may have been due to
carelessness. 1t is believed that the
attorney general would sign petition
for his pardon, if convicted
as soon as the verdict is rendered
so that pardon could perhaps be Sc
cured before Cooley was taken to Jail.
Cooley, himself, has always borne a
good character and is moral. temper
ate Young man. He is now in poor
health, and under the doctors care.
He has had three hemorrhages recently.
He seems to take the matter very hard
and could not appear more detected and
broken down by the disgrace OF
the accusation of the crime.
and the trial, than he is.
Public sympathy is with him and very
few would refuse to sign petition for
his pardon.

tion for eloquence drew large audience
to Delaware Avenue Baptist Church last
night. The doctor said there was ten
dency at the present day to disbelieve in
the existence eff hell. Christian man
does not like to think of his wife. who
may have died impenitent, as being in
place of punishment, and vice versa
God is no respector of persons, and

place of reward. To deny that there is
no more hell is to deny the plain teach
ings Of Christ, and to say that Christ
taught what was not true concerning
this subject is to declare him an falsifier
and imposter. The discourse was de-
hVered IN DR.. Boothe's usually eloquent
manner, and his argument, backed by
seriptural authority, was absolutely in

tortions to regain his equilibrium ever
seen in this city. But at last he sue

crowd, with big grin on his own face,
he remarked, mo you don't" Hardly
had the words left his mouth when his
feet went up in earnest this time, and he
struck the bricks with his coattail with a

laughter, as the fellow quickly picked
himself up, and with sad, PARKWAY
look ON his face, and a solution of mud
