The case of the State vs.. the
Adams brothers for their part in
the assault on Leon Carr, editor of
the Independent, was tried on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. The jury, after celebrating
q few hours, returned a verdict Of
guilty to the indictment for assault
in the second degree. The counsel
cor the defense, L. S. Nelson, Esq,
endeavored, with much legal skill
and eloquence to convince the jury
that no greater offense had been
committed than assault in the 3rd
degree. The prosecution was most
ably conducted by J. A. Town, Esq.
who added much to his profession.
al reputation by his excellent man
agement of this cause. The charge
to the jury, given by Judge Brown
was a model of clearness and CO.
yency in stating the law applica'
BILE to the case. The facts devel.
oped left the court aud jury no al
tentative but to find the verdict
they did find. The court room wa.
stuffed with a mass of men eager
to catch every word from witness
counsel or court. Our community
has been greatly excited and indig
nant over this assault, and the yer
dict gave general satisfaction. TIL.
principal in the affair, Mrs. Saxon
is yet to be tried. Her case vii
probably be taken up the last O
this week. The convicted mel
have not been sentenced. Thei
counsel has entered a motion for
new trial.

Deyo introduces considerable stron
