FRANK FLETCHER's FATE.
Found Guilty Of Assault With a Dang
erous Weapon.

A jury was impanneled at last
nights session of the circuit court
of the trial of Frank Fletcher,
charged with assault with a dang
erous weapon.
The court room was filled with
auditors who evinced interest in

clusion of the examination of sew
en- witness for the plaintiff, coun-
sci for the defense dispatched a
bailiff to summons James Ash
worth, prosecuting witness, to APP
pear in court. The physician in
attendance upon Mr.. AshwoFth
stated that his appearance in the
court room at that hour would en-
danger his recovery, whereupon the
counsel for defeuse asked the court
to continue the case until 8 o'clock
this morning. The court having
previously ordered that the trial
must be concluded at last nights
session, refused to continue it, and
consequently the case was laid be-
fore the grand jury by Attorneys

ey Lawrey appeared on behalf Of
the state.
It was 11:15 p. m. when the jury

him. This opportunity came when
Murphy was passing by Gourdin' 8

came, up he drew a revolver and com
menOed firing, wounding Murphy in
several places and killing his horse un.

the house and her husband told her to
60 away, but she refused to do so and
he then hit her several times with the
butt OF his revolver, driving her back
into the house, where he seized a knife
lying on table and stabbed her Il
