DR.. !. M Manning testified as to thu

Fannie Wilson, whose testimony was
substantially the same as that embodied
in her confession which appeal exclu.
sively in yesterdays HERALD, was the
next witness. At the conclusion of her
examination in chief, the court adjourn.
cd for diuncr to meet again at 4 p. NJ.
Evening Session.
Upon the opening Of the evening ses-
sion, Fannie Wilson was again put on
the stand and underwent most trying
cross-examination by Mr.. Bryan, coun-
sci for the defense, without making any
material break in her published state
ment. She acknowledged that she had
served eight months in the work house
upon the charge Of larceny. Positively
denied that she was at home when the
shirts were found in the bed-tick at her
house; that she carried them there-tllat
Bane had bought them--was put in Jail
about s p. III. on last Saturday on ac-
count of the Harrington matter. Mr..
crabtree visited her in jail and said she
had just as well tell all about it, was
interrupted and didn't tell him. Mr..
Cults went to see her Sunday. c. b.
Green saw her Monday. II told him ]
didn't do anything to Mr.. Dock-that
Charlie Bane brought the shirts to my
house. This occurred Monday evening.
Yesterday several told me that if didn't
tell the truth my neck would be broke.
In the evening Mr.. Maddry came and
said he wanted to make calculation Of
what had told the jailer and he COM
menced writing. The statement in the
MORNING HERALD is exactly what told
him. ] borrowed paper from Mollie
Bcaman in Jail and read il. / haven't
seen any paper but the HERALD since /
was in jail" Then came a number of
questions about the shirts, the basket re-
deemed from John Harris bar, the sort
Of money paid, questions about her other
purchases, etc, which she answered and
until il came to the question
Of who paid the rcnt in advance for the
room she moved into Thursday. Here
the witness WINGED, saying ii was "a fell
Ter" and she didn't want to "expose"
him. The court ruled she must answer
the question, and very reluctantly she
said it was I'D. Hicks, a mulatto. She
knew nothing of the bottle of whiskey.
Didn't make statement sooner because
Of threats against her life il she told.
After Mr.. Riddick's testimony, no
evidence was introduced by the
State, which. rested its case.
The defense first introduced George
BRYAN, colored, with the intent of PROV
ing an aiibi. George proved a wiry wit
ness with a strangely relentive memory
as to "Wednesday and Wednesday night
Of last week, but had no recollection of
that had happened before or
since. His eyasions Of answers were
such as TO call forth o reprimand from
the court, and an intimation that he
would be sent to Jail for contempt il he
PERSISTED in such course.
CIT is pertinent here TO say that the
court, Messrs. d. c. Mangum and J. :.
have conducted this trying
case with such iudicious decorum and
efficacy as entities them to the thanks
OF the community.
George Bryant, the witness with a
convenient memory, was arrested after
he left the stand as accessory OH war
rant sworn out by {. B. Green, chairman
Of tho bsard Of county commissioners. At
nearly 7 O'Clock the court adjourned till
$50 Friday morning when the testimony
for the defense will be cnniinncl.
