crowds lounging in the court
house, halls and yard filed up
stairs until every seat in the court
room was taken, and Il large num-
Der of people were standing in
the aislcs. There were no ladies
present.
Among the first that came. in
were
HON. JOHN II. CAMERON,
his son Malcolm and his attorneys,
Powell & Powell and Ward d
Downs. Both took seats on the
right hand side of the hall at a
table with their attorneys. They
faced the audience, the senior
Cameron calmly smoking Il cigar
and Malcolm Cameron sitting cool
and collected. If he felt any ncr-
vousncSs he did not display it.
He surveyed the crowd with in
difference and paid little atten-
ton to the proceedings.
Mayor Hill opened court Il few
minutes after II o'clock and an
nounccd the case of the State of
Mississippi against Malcolm Cam
CrOn.
LAWYER W. II. Powell, for the
defense, in reply to a question
from the court, announced the
defense ready for trial, and plead
ed mot guilty for his client.
Mayor Hill then introduced in
evidence for the State the dying
declaration of DR.. Roudebush,
the reading of which was waived
by the defense, who said that all
were familiar with its contents.
Mayor Hill asked the defense
if they had any witnesses.
Mr.. Powell, for the defense,
said that they had no witnesses
but on the testimony offered by
the State, they asked for bail for
the accused in reasonable sum.
Mayor Hill stated that the dying
declaration was the only testimo-
nv, but he would not read it, all
being familiar with it. He stated
that the question of bail was left
entirely with the court and was
delicate matter for him to de-
eide. but after viewing the whole
case and scanning every line of
the testimony offered he was of
the opinion that the accused was
entitled to bail. The obi ect of
bail, he said, was to insure the
appearance of the accused at the
Circuit Court and the amount
was discretionary with him. One
thousand dollars mi ght be enough
for one man to give and $4,000
for another, but in this instance,
after considering the matter full
". he would fix the amount of
bail at so, 600.
The bond was made up in just
five minutes, being signed by
Hon. John r. Cameron, the pris-
oncr's father, r. NJ. Caldwell,
II. l.. Footc, 5. S. Champion
and W. H. Dudley.
The entire trial consumed 13
minutes from the time the Justice
called court to order until the
prisoner walked forth. District
Attorney Hudson, contrary to
expectation, did not appear at
the trial to represent the State in
the case.
This closes the first chapter of
one of the saddcst tragedies in
the history of Mississippi. The
high standing of all parties, the
popularity of those connected
with the affair and the absence of
malice or rcvengeful spirit on the
part of the stricken family COM
binc to call forth the deepest
sympathy of the people of this
whole section.
DR.. Roudcbush, the deceased,
was one of the most popular
young men of the State. Hand
some, intelli gent and genial, he
was the pride of loving parents,
beloved by his friends, and his
future was bright and blossom
ing with promise.

Rules Written Down in Note Books will

Pacific Methodist Advocate
Make your task real by project
ing the heart into it. The New
Year will be new, indeed, if you
carry into it a new heart and a re-
newed zeal. Rules written down
in notebooks to be carried out me-
chanically, like the brewing Of tea
or steaming of mush, will come to
nothing long before the New Years
garlands have withered. A diary
is broken reed. Life, strictly
speaking, is superior to rules.
The soul has certain instincts.
These are its best rules, after that
law Of God which nothing pre-
cludes. The ship follows a we'll
known path, and is steered by me-
chanical craft; bat the eagle moves
by instinct, and asks not that path
be scored for him through the bas-
toned splendors of the enpyreap.
God has shown him his way. The
soul is not made of such feeble
substance, nor clogged with such
inertia as to need penciled rules
and garrulous diary to keep it in
its course. Every day is a revela-
ton; every nights an apocalypse;
and the full year is a canon of law,
prophecy, and song.

TO Ask EoR A NEW rRlAL,
Dempsey'H Attorney Not Satisfied Will
the Verdict aud VIII Appeal.

DemBhGyH Attorney Not NEtiBheu WIN
the Verdict and VIII Appeal.
PTTsBUra, Jan. 31.--L. K. Porter, at.
torney for Master Workman Dempsey,
who was yesterday found guilty as in
dicted for causing poison to be admins
tered to the non-union men in the
Homestead mill, says the verdict is
false one, and that he will imm ediately
move ior g new trial.
On what grounda Mr., Porter refused to
suy, but it is understood that one of the
points he will raise is that, contrary to
Che plain and positive instructions Of the
court, the jury found Dempsey guilty as
indicted on four counts, when he should
have been found guilty only on the first
count.
Another and more sensational point
will he raised, which, II proven, will be
sufficient to set tho verdict aside.
Capt. f, Y. Breck, Of the prosecution,
said he expected the verdict, as there had
never been any doubt in his mind as TO
Dempsey's guilt, and he thought it had
been shown to the jury plainly enough.
The maximum punishment for feloni-
Gus assault and battery is seven years
imprisonment.
not cause much surprise because every
body had expected it, after the jury had
asked the court certain questions.
Judge Stowe In charging tho jury re-
viewed very carefully and impartialy all
points of the testimony brought out dur
ing the trial.
''It is Tor the jury" he said, Ito de-
teTmine whether poison was put into the
coffee or tea, or the food in tho mill.
''This question depends solely upon the
testimony Of Gallagher and Davidson. If
they tell the truth, then the defendant
was the originator and principal In the
business and is responsible for the acts of
Gallagher and Davidson or either, and
accountable for whatever they did in puE-
suance Of his instructions.
Now, just here comes the great ques-
tion SO far as the defendant is concerned.
Dempsey emphatically denies what
Gallagher and Davidson have to say In re-
gard to the purpose for which he en-
ployed them. He is a competent but an
interested witness. They are also compe-
tent, but suspicious and tainted witnesses.
But the jury may, if they believe
their testimony, convict from it alone"
The jury after being out until 1:l0 p.
m came in for further instructions from
the court. Foreman Guy wanted to know
if the court had stricken out of the in
dictment the third and fourth counts and
he was told that the court could not do
this, but had instructed the jury to ac-
quit on the counts which related to Dem
sey assaulting persons unknown, for
there was no competent evidence offered
on these counts.
The judge told the jury that If they
found the defendant guilty at all it must
be on the first count, charging Dempsey
with assaulting W. E. Grifiths with in
tent to commit murder.
1t has not yet been decided whether the
case Of Beatty will be called next week
or whether it will 20 over until after the
trial Of 'Jack" Clifford for murder.

ROULETTE IN A COLLEGE.
A Gambling Den Discovered in ColumbiH
School ofBIines.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 21.-In the Columbia
College School Of Mines there has beon
established within the very walls Of the
building for the past two weeks a gam
bling don. Roulette was the popular
game, and "a many as three and some
times four wheels were run at the same
time.
The place was located in the corner Of
the basement of the School OF Mines, and
the wheels were run in a little nook
protected from general view by the
rear partition wall Of the janitor's office
The students who ran the wheels had
a little the best of the odds, ard many
students have lost money who could not
afford to.
The gambling might have gone along
unnOtiCed for some time to come had it
not been for row over game
The news of the row reached the fac
ulty, ana the true cause was learned.

gamesters yesterday afternoon and caught
