Thornton Murder TriaI-Tbe Court |

IhOrhtOn murder Tfial-The Cour
Room was crowded Tuesday morning wher
the cases of Perry Elcorn, Archie M. Hop
kins, Charles Hopkins, Sam'l Budd, Elijat
Hackett and Henry Hopkins, charged with
the murder of Clarence Thornton, neal
Sandy Spring, on the 9TH of last June, were
called for trial Edward G. Peter, Robert
b. Peter and ]. Abby Henderson appeared
for the prisoners, and Alexander Kilgour
and Charles W. Prettyman represented the
State
The counsel for the defense filed a de.
murrer to the indictment, which was over.
ruled by the Court. Mr.. Edward G. Peter,
appearing for Perry Ecorn, then pleaded
not guilty to the charge and demanded q
trial by jury. He asked to have the case
OF his client heard separately from that of
the other prisoners. This the Court refused
to do, and ordered the trial of all the men TO
be proceeded with together. Mr.. Peter then
asked to have Elcorn's case tried by the
Court instead of by jury. This was denied.
Mr.. Peter then presented a sworn statement,
signed by his client, Perry Elcorn, asking
for change of venue, as he did not believe
he could receive fair and impartial trial in
the Court OF this county. The Court decided
that the change of venue would be granted,
and sent the case to Frederick county for
trial.
The Court ordered the cases Archie M.
Hopkins, Charles Hopkins, Samuel Budd,
Elijah Hackett and Henry Hopkins to be
proceeded with. After thirty six taesmen
had been examined, twelve men were found
who were competent jurors. The jury con.
sists of Charles b. Jones, John j Bottle
may, William G. Veirs, James Il. Atwood,
Joseph n Phillips, Jas. NJ. Harrison, Harry
b. White, John N. Kelly, Chas w. Fields,
Bernard l. Rabbit, Joseph L. Cagett and
Simon D. Best.
States Attorney Kilgour made the open.
ing statement to the jury. He said the State
expected to show that on the 9TH OF June
last there was gathering of colored people
at Sharp Street Church, and it was at this
meeting that Clarence Thornton was muir
dered by the prisoners on trial
DIR. VIM. f. Magruder was the first wit
ness called. He testified to examining the
wounds of the murdered man before he ex.
pired. In his opinion the wounds on the
head were inflicted by some blunt instru.
ment, and caused the death of Thornton.
There were also bruises and cuts on the
victims body, and he was hurt internally.
The State, after examining about fifteen
witnesses, concluded its case on Wednesday
about noon. Mr. Peter opened for the de.
Tense by stating that he expected to show
that the row had been caused by the Thorn.
ton crowd, and that the first assault was
made when Thornton cut Archie Hopkins
across the chest, intlicting wound 10 inches
long. He said he thought Thorntons death
had been caused by blow from club, but
by whom il was struck no one knew, as the
crowd was so thick, and so many were
striking at Thornton that none knew who
had inflicted the wound.
The jury went out at $50 and returned
about s O'clock, finding Archie Hopkins,
Charles Hopkins, Samuel Budd and Henry
Hopkins guilty of manslaughter, and Elijah
Hackett not guilty

Chahng Dish Cookery,

There are certain supplies and
condiments that the man or woman
who intends to do such chatting dish
cookery without annoyance should
invest in. Though some of them are
expensive in the beginning, they are
used in such small quantities that
they are in reality not extravagant
for occasional dishes. Good curry
powder is often called for in many
recipes, so that you will need a bot
tie of that, also one of Tarrago vine
gar, some anchovies, cayenne pepper
and paprika, lemons, few cans of
mushrooms, olive oil, bit of good
cheese, some canned salmon, sar-
dimes, and if you are to make a deli
cious welsh rabbit a few bottles of
good ale or beer. If you do not OBJ
ject to using wine in cookery, bot
tie or two of olaret or madeira will
not come amiss in some of the rec
ipes that are found in most of the
books on chatting dish cookery

A Mystery of the Riae.

Something that no man understands
is why rife, clamped in an immov-
able wise, will not put the bullets into
the same hole every time, even if the
wind does not interfere. A correspond
ent of Shooting and Fishing tells how
he put rife of 80 caliber into a wise
and fired it ten times, the sights being
always aimed directly at a mark. The
bullets went all over a four inch circle
at 90 yards. Theoretically all ought to
have gone into the same hole.
A man who holds his rife gripped
hard at one time and easily at another
will not shoot as well as one who takes
the same hold of his rife every time.
The best results are obtained from bench
rests when the man puts his shoulder
against the rife butt

it was done.

care the eggs will wait for two or three
days ifnot badly chilled.-FarmJ Journal
