than so years old who let their pianos stay
unopened because. they say. they are too
old and their fingers are too stiff to play any
more. But the people who pass along VIM

The policemen of Savannah carry revolv-
ers strapped to their belts in plain sight.
They are armed with short clubs as well.
They cannot unlimber their shooting irons
any quicker than New York policeman,
who usually carries his in his hip pocket,
can do it: but most of the offenders with
whom the Savannah officer has to deal are
darkies. and the sight of a weapon in itself
has salutary effect on many of them.
A pin was lost from the trolley on an
Augusta, Ga, electric car some time ago and
the car stopped. A hairpin furnished by a
lady passenger enabled one of the ears to
continue its trip to the Hill. Friday morn
ing the hairpin was removed and replaced
by one made for the purpose. 1t is only
justice to the hairpin, however. to say that
it could have satisfactorily performed the
duty allotted to it for several months to
come.

NO VERDICT YET.
ParklsOn Jury at Midnight is Locked
up Until Monday.
On the Last Ballot Only one Man
Voted for Conviction.
The Case Was Given to the Jury at
6 O'clock in the Afternoon.
Charge of the Judge and Speeches
on Both Sides of the Case.

At 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
PaIkison case was given to the jury. At
midnight they had come to no agreement,
and the Judge adjourned court till 9
O'Clock Monday morning. This will keep
the Jury in till that time, even should
they arrive at a verdict before that hour.
The first ballot stood seven for acquIttal
and five for conviction. After dinner
four of those voting for a conviction
evidently felt in a better humor. and by
10 o'clock eleven voted to free Parkison,
and one to hang him. At 10 o'clock this
was still the case. 1t could not be ascer-
tanned who the otstreperous man was.
Quite a large number OF persons we're
still in the court room at midnight.
Parkison expressed himself after the
adjournment as being confident of an ac-

Gibson Clark oLened for the state and
spoke for almost an hour and a halt. He
was listened to with close attention by the
jury. He was followed by Attorney Arm
strong, for the defendant, who held the
floor for about an hour. Mr.. Armstrong
devoted part of his time to an attack
upon the witness T~hornborough. He
claimed that T~hornborough evidently had
a motive in seeing the defendant con-
voted. He vas the only person located
at the spot where the body was found
that night, and it was not all improbable
that he knew more about the murder
than he had told.
Frank Fl. Clark commenced talking to
the jury for the defendant about IL
O'Clock. He spoke till noon. and from .
p. IN j. to 3:l5. He reviewed all the evil
dence in the case. and claimed that, under
it, it was plainly shown that the defend
ant had not left town on the night in
question until 1870. T~hornborough and
Buzzard might have been mistaken as 20
having met Parkison near the fair ground;
the latter was drunk; it was a dark, windy,
dusty night, and it was possible that with
TAornborough it might have been a case
of mistaken identity. He also commented
largely upon the absence of any evidence
as TO motive. His argument was very
forcible and listened to with marked at
tentiOl.
Prosecuting Attorney Davidson com-
menced at BIS, and talked till $50. His
theory was that Parkison left Salt Lake
Hates at IL o'clock, went with Baker to
the spot where the body vas found. killed
Baker, and then hurried back to town to
West Meyers, meeting Thornborough
and Buzzard oil the way. He claimed
that the witnesses who saw Parkisou at
Meyers were mistaken as to the length
of time he remained there. As to motive,
he claimed that the state had shown
sufficient to prove that Parkinson wanted
to get the deceased out of the way. He
commented largely on the defendants
confusion during the cross examination.
His argument was at once powerful and
eloquent, and. considering the mixed
nature of the evidence, very ingenious.
The defendant attended closely to all
that was said. If guilty of the crime he
is possessed of wonderful nerve, for not
once did he finch, grow pale, or show any
evidence of confusion.
The instructions of the court to the
jury in the Parkison murder case showed
evidences of careful preparation. Judge
Scott instructed that, under the indict-
ment, the jury could find the defendant
guilty either of murder in the first
degree, murder in the second degree or
m~anslaughter. These different crimes
were defined. aud the elements constitut-
ing them explained at length.
in this case, the burden of proof is
upon the prosecution throughout; and
unless the jury is satisfied beyond a reas.
enable doubt by the evidence in this case
that this. defendant, Frank b. Parkison
was present at the time when, and At the
place where the deceased, Roy Baker, was
killed and did there and then f~eloniously
kill and murder the said Raker in manner
and form as charged in the indictment,
the jury must acquit.
III, upon the whole, there is a reason
able doubt whether this defendant, Frank
B. Parkison, was present at the time
when, and the place where the alleged

crime is shown to have been committed,
you must acquit the accused.
IF you find in this case that the tact is
in reasonable doubt as to who committed
the alleged crime, the absence OF compe-
tent evidence Of an inducing cause or mo-
tive to commit the crime, offers a strong
presumption of innocence.
In this case, IN inquiry into the mo-
tive or motives actuating the accused is
important, because human experience
shows that men do not commit crime
without a motive therefor, and the fact of
the absence of any apparent motive on
the part of the accused for the perpreta-
ton Of the alleged crime. if the jury find
the absence of such motive to be a fact,
should be weighed by the jury with other
proofs. The facts from which the motive
may be inferred must be proved beyond a
reasonable doubt. The motive cannot be
conjured up, or imagined any more than
any other circumstance in the case.
The law raises no presumption against
the prisoner. but every presumption of
the law is in favor OF his innocence, and
ia order to convict him of the crime al
legged In the Indictment. every material
fact necessary to constitute such crime
must be proved to your mind from the
evidence beyond a reasonable doubt; and
if you entertain any reasonable doubt
upon any single fact or element necessary
to constitute the crime, it is your duty to
give the defendant the benefit of such
doubt and acduit him.
which. after a full consideration and com
parison of all evidence, both for the state
and defense, leaves the minds of the jury
in that condition that they cannot saw
that they feel an abiding faith amounting
to a moral certainty, from the evidence in
the case, that the defendant is guilty OF
the %offense as charged in the indictment.
If you have such doubt, if your %convic-
ton of the defendants guilt. as laid in
the Indictment, does not amoun to a
moral certainty, from the evidence in the
case, then the court instructs you hat
you must aeqult the defendant The
court further instructs You that if you can
reconcile the evidence IN inc case con-
sis'en'iy win any reasonable hypothesis
Oh the defendant s innocence hen 1t Is
your nut TO do so and nod him not
