in and followed MI. Cox in his remarks and
the last prayer and finally In the hymn
"Nearer my God to Thee
1t was very touching to witness the mute
grief Of the parents as they fixed their sad
eyes upon the hands and countenance of the
interpl eter following every motion and ex-
preston with intense earnestness, and
showing by their own expression and signs
that they understood it all.
The Interpretation of Nearer my God
to Thee" as it WAS sung, slowly and sadly
was very suggestive to those WHO were ig-
norant Of the sign language, and brought
tears to the eyes of many. The service
was prOtracted until nearly II o'clock when
the minister had to conclude to attend
church. The remains were buried in

The Fatal Array Near Mt. Carmel
Church.

The motion to set aside the verdict in
the matter of the conviction of Charles
johnson, with an award of ten years in the
penitentiary, for shooting and killing }. f.
Lofts in an ARRAY near Mt. Carmel, was
heard by Judge Houston Friday morning.
Capt. James Bumgardner, for the prison
Ell, commended that no combination had been
proven. 1t had only been shown by the
prosecution that Simms Brown, the man
beaten by Lofts had gone back to the
church, and that several parties at the
church were on their way home when they
met Lofts and the fight ensued. 1t had
been proven that Lofts and Weeks started
from the point Of first collision to seek a
further difficulty and expressed that as
their purpose. AS it stood it was only
just thls-that a party having declared an
Unlawful purpose met a party against whom
no unlawful purpose had been proven.
Judge Houston said there were only three
causes laid down for the court setting aside
verdict; 1st, where the verdict was
against the law; I'd, where it was contrary
o evidence, and Sd, where it was without
evidence to support it. In this case none
If the three situations existed. 1t lay wholly
with the jury whether it would believe the
witnesses who had given the evidence con-
victing Johnson, and as it had decided that
it was worthy of belief there was no place
for the interference of the court.
Capt. Bumgardner then gave notice that
he would take an appeal to the higher
court.
The other four accused men-Henry
johnson, Gather of Charles Johnson)
olmms Brown, Wallace Stuart and Chas
Scott, were put on trial this week. After
the trial had proceeded two days, the court
dud jury assented that it might be ad-
journed over until yesterday, i'll order that
