ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
David Upshaw's Fate to be Put in
Jury's Hands To-Day.

Jury's Hands To-Day.
Milledgeville, Ga, Aug 6.-The case of
the state VS.. David Upsnaw, for the kill
ing of Daniel Gordon at Stevens Pottery,
in this county, last spring was taken up
in Baldwin superior court this morning
and has consumed the entire day. The
most important plea of the defense is to
the effect that remarks made by Gordon
about Upshaw's wife We're of such a
nature that he was perfectly iustifable in
taking the life of the deceased. There are
those of the opinion, however, that the
perpetrator Of the crime should be pun
ished, and there is much speculation as TO
the outcome of the case.
The evidence is all in for both sides and
argument commences tomorrow morning
at s o'clock.

A temple Of Baal Saturn. which has

ing particularly the attention Of the
French archeologists because of its Pc
culiarly interesting statues and bas-re-
liefs. The building Is situated at an ele-
walton of over 1900 feet. and this is an
other proof that the Carthaginians
practiced their religious ceremonies on
hills. d
On all the statues Of the godlto which
the temple is dedicated the names Baal

god that Of the highest Roman deity
