In the circuit court last Friday Judge
Faulkner oyer-ruled the motion for a new
trial made by counsel for Robert Mcdowell,
the colored man convicted of burning the
dwelling house Of Sheriff Eugene Baker, and
sentenced the prisoner to penitentiary for
life. When asked by Clerk Daniel whether
he had anything 10 say why the court should
not pronounce sentence, the prisoner replied
that be had but one thing to say and that
was that he was sorry the jury believed the
testimony Of Harry Deshon, a fellow-pris-
oner in Jail, who testified to a confession,
which Mcdowell denied aud said was false.
A suspension of the sentence was granted
till February next to enable the prisoner to
apply to the Supreme Court Of Appeals for
a writ of error to the judgment Mcdowell
received his sentence in a calm aud respect
ful manner. His counsel, Col. B. d. Glib
son, j. T. Engle aud L. :. G. Pitzer have
been untiring in their efforts in behalf of
the prisoner and made an able defense.
Judge Faulkner adjourned court on Sat
urday-the term having extended through
nearly four weeks. Much business of i'm
pOrtance was transacted, the DEGREES filling
sixty pages of the court journal The long
