between Lawyer Moss and Policemen
Carson and Flynn. Carson arrested heraud
man, L. Il. Lawrence, yesterday after
noon, for fighting, in front or the Thyson
House, on Seventh street.
Lawrence, charged with assault was
taken out OF the pen this morning by Car
son, on his leaving So collateral. There
was much anxiety displayed in getting him
out OF the way. He was not even held MS
a witness, which Mr.. Pugh said should
have been done.
Mr. Pugh, also added, an attachment
should be issued by the United States as
sstant district attorney for lawrence, and
have him tried for assaultiDg the girl,
who was charged with being risorderly
She was defended by the irrepressible
sage OF Hiilsdale, John Moss, who pro
ceeded to consume time by an analysis of
the word ''boisterous," as set forth in
the information against his client.
MOSS ANALYSIS.
Now, sir" he said TO Carson, what
do you mean by 'boisterous?' 4"
Carson said he Thought in his testimony
he had sufficiently explained the woman s
action without turning himself into die
tionary.
Don't you know, sir,' demanded Moss,
THAT man or WON an can be boiste ols
sir, without being disorderly? Answer me,
sir; don't you?''
Carson, aggravatingly cool, said he didn't.
Look at me, SIR implored Moss. I'm
boisterous; I'm talking loud, but I'm not
disordehy.''
Il don't know about that, John.'' said
Mr. Pugh. '.Youfs is permissive bolster
BUSINESS. If you'd go on that way outside
Nike Flynn would arrest you,' and Mr..
Pugh smiled.
Moss grew ostentatiously solemn. "sir,"
he gravely said, shaking his forefiDger
inipressively, don't smil, client into
the workhouse, don't do it, Sir"
"she's smiling herself there" retorted
Mr.. Pugh, lit was too many smiles that
brought her here.''
Moss ehoSed down some angry Jumps,
rising in his throat, and was silent Tor
awhile Resuniing, he declaredit was an
outrage TO release the man and imprison
the woman.
Gaze on my Client, gentlemen. See her,
bloody and wounded declaimed Moss,
getting on his uptoes aud threatening 10

mercy, and she should get it,"
Five dollars fine, Mr. Moss" said
Judge Scott. ~
"Will your honor give her time to get
it? Mr.. Flynn will vouch for her" said
Moss.
"CalI Moike," called Mr.. Pugh. ard
Mike came in, rage In his eye aud ee-
fiance in his heart"
Am oi talleay" he said, glaring at
Moss, who began to say what he wanted.
Flynn grew livid with rage. 'Tind to your

alone; I'll go bail for none av thin"
Moss replied and Flynn said If he didn't
shut up he'd put him In the dock.
Come, gentlemen, let US have ORDER

Attorneys +. IL. Evans, y. y. Skoen, ~
). McFall, and Frank Griffith. The de-
fence is represented by w. A. Ayers, Ct.
NJ. Anderson, Columbus +. Phipps, and
w. III. Werth. There was considerable
trouble In finding the necessary number
of competent jurors to try the case. SO
much had the afair been discussed
throughout the entire county that every
one had heard more or less of the de-
tails of the killing. At length, after
quite a number OF men had been eX-
amined, and many rejected. sufficient
number were found competent, and the
following jury was impanelled: Ezekiel
sutherland. :. j. Tyler j. l.. Siefers.
Allen Smith. G.. w. Haynes, G.. W. Suth-
orland. James W. Smith. c. A. Self. IL.
a. Bostic w. J. Cochren. Eli Phipps.
and n. c. Edwards.

ranged
