THE DEFENDANTS STORY.


The defendant then told his story OF
the awful tragedy. He was awakened
by the curses and threats OF his father.
He placed his revolver is his pocket and
came down stairs. He took the revolv-
err because he was afraid. He inter-
fered and his father said "D-n yon,
I'll kill you." Witness then sat down
on q stand. The revolver was given
him by Charles Coulter. Blakemore
put on his coat aud vest to go out, and
his wife told him TO stay in. He then
took of his coat and vest, rolled up his
sleeves, started to curse, and said You
s. OF b., I'll kill both of you!" He
reached for the Ratchet, and witness
thought he would kill both him and his
mother. He didn't intend 10 kill his
father, but wanted TO "cool him down"
He shot twice.
To Mr.. Howard, witness said the first
thing he heard was his father threaten
ing to kill Marion Coulter He knew
what the quarrel was about before he
came down stairs. When be came TO
the door he found il locked and tried to
k lex IL open. 1t was opeued by his
father. He did not pull out his revol-
YER until be saw the Ratchet being
pulled ont OF the box. He was strug-
Cling within the grasp OF Mrs. Blake
more, and witness held the revolver
within an inch Of his fathers breast
and fired.
This concluded the testimony. Mr..
Howard said be disiked advising the
committing magistrate TO dismi SIS, and
especially when the accused has killed.
The effect upon society was bad. Al
the same time, it must De admitted that
under the law person is sometimes
justified in killing another. He felt In
this case that the homicide might nave
been avoided. Tue testimony showed
that Mr. Blakemore brought the act
upon himself, bat the boy was rash and
impetuous, His impression was that
the man would not have carried
ont his threat, but might have
wreaked his vengeance on the furniture.
He concluded that he did not think the
act was justfiable, but rs under the
law, there would be no conviction in a
higher court, he felt like asking for the
discharge OF the prisoner.
Counsel for the defense had nothing
to say. The justice then said that ne
took the same view Of the case "a Mr..
Howard, aud accordingly discharged
Blakemore.

If diseased, however, they
cannot, and the blood con-

The heavy dragged out
feeling, the bilious attacks,

erly perform their functions.
There is no doubt about
this. Thousands have so

AT THE Southern immigration Con-
gress in Augusta, Governor Tillman, Of
South Carolina, said: SIT was well
enough to invite people and capitsl
from the outside, and all that came
would be welcome, but for every dollar
of outside capital, the Southern people
must expend ten Of their own if they
were in earnest about desiring to build
up the South. The future of the South
depended on the efforts of our own
people" Now the Governor is un-
questionably wrong on the subjects OF
railroad and liquor laws, but that he
s just as certainly right on the one re-
ferred to, goes without saying to every
reasonable man, familiar with the true
condition of affairs in the South; and
the sooner Southern people learn to
rely entirely upon themselves for the
Improvement of their own section, the
better it will be for them. The North
ern capital that has been invested in
railroad, mining and manufacturing in
dustres in the South, since the war, has
profted the North a great deal more
than the South.

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE /. 1894.

AS WAS naturally expected, some OF
the republican and so-called independ-
eat press denounce the eloquent address
of the orator at the dedication Of the
Confederate monument at Richmond
last Wednesday, for reasserting, what
the worlds history proves true, that
success is not the measure Of merit, and
say the treatment the Confederate
army received at its surrender should
forever close the mouths of those who
favored the defeated cause. The news,
papers referred TO don't know what
they are talking about. The war is
over and gone, and no body in the
South now wants to fight it over agail
but. still, as this is "a free and equal
country" Southern people have the
same right to think and talk Of ii, and
of causes and effects, as they have to
discuss last years comet. And to say
hey should be estopped from doing so
by the "magnanimity" of their victois
in not shooting the ex-Confederates
when they surrendered, and in letting
them take their few half-starved and,
to the government, worthless horses
back to their burnt homes and ravaged
farms, is absurd, in view of the well
known fact that not only the federal
army, but the whole people of the
North, at that time, were so tired of
the war and its expense and bloodshed,
that they felt really grateful to them for
not lighting any longer. Cab, or "yap,"
as Senator Hill terms silly talk, can
never subvert truth.

BEFORE large crowd, among whom
were many young people and children,
Mr.. Robert. Tngersoll, last Wednesday,
delivered an address at New Rochelle,
\. Y, over the empty grave of Thomas
Paine, in which he eulogized that inf
del and tried to injure the faith Of his
hearers. If Mr. Ingersoll would offer
anything in exchange for the religion
he would destroy, there might be some
palliation for his advocacy Of infidelity,
but as he does not, there is none. He
cannot deny that the Decalogne is a
good system of morals, and must have
beneficial effect; nor that the fear of
future punishment is powerful deter
rent to vice and crime. If he were a
patriotic citizen therefore, he would not
strive to remove all restraint, save that
of mans law, upon the evil disposition
of the young people of mis- country.
The worst of his address was that it was
loudly applauded.
