GILLIGAN'S TRIAL.

The impeachment OF Gilligan's test
mony was the declared purpose OF the
prosecution In the Gilligan trial, at Isle
of Wight Courthouse, yesterday. Miss
Turner claims that for twelve months
their relations have been completely
severed. He stoutly claims that che
was ju his embrace at the time OF the
fatal moment.
Shortly after court opened yesterday
counsel for defense declared they would
rest their case for the present. The
prosecution asked for Gilligsn's recall.
The prisoner acknowledged a talk he
had had with John Millington. Col.
Boykin then asked: "Did you, In the
conversation, say you had heard that
Beverly Turner's daughter was immor-
al, and he had sent her away" The
defense interrupted, holding the ques'
ton was improper. Gilligan said he
could answer it.
Mr.. Holland said Gilligsn's song bad
been 81 love Isabel Turner; l always
have loved her, and believe she loves
me now" He wanted to see whether
by his conduct Gilligan showed that be
loved her. Mr.. Holland claimed that
the question was relevant, because the
prisoner had stated on the stand that
ne told Ben Edwards he ought to be
ashamed of himself for accusing him
(Gilligan) OF intimacy with Miss Turner
and Mrs. Turner. The court said the
question was proper.
The prisoner denied tina. he had
made such statement to Millington, but
said Millington asked him about it, and
| said he had heard it reported.
ibid Millington say you ought to
marry her, did you not answer: 'D-n
If you would marry such woman"
mo"
"Did Mr.. Wellington say: lit were
bis daughter, d-n if he would not Kill
you.'"
He did not"
John Millington then took the stand.
He said GiIigsn had sought the con-
versation with him. Millington told in
detail what Gilligan had said to hin
concerning Miss Isabel TurDer. Wit
ness had never heard anything deroga-
tory about Miss Turner until Gilligsn
had told him. Millington contradicted
Gilligan's statements on the stand.
w. B. Clark. States attorney Of
Surry county, told of Gilligsn's visit to
his house 10 professional capacity. He
went with the Edwards Gilligan party
to Scotland wharf. Edwards and Gill.
gan were soms distance ahead and part
of the time out OF sight. For awhile he
was close to the sheriff's buggy. The
prosecution sought to chow that there
was opportunity for Gilligan to have
made the alleged confession to Sheriff
| Edwards.
Several citizens of Surry testified to
Sheriff Ed wards reliability, veracity
and sobriety, and gave him a splendid
reputation.
Colonel Boykin during his argument
said the prosecution meant to take Gil
ligan's statements one by one and con-
tradict them. They want to break
down much OF bis testimony.
The entire evidence at the afternoon
session was in rebuttal, and only OF
special interest as such.
The evidence will nearly, II not quite,
be finished today. Miss Turner Is ex.
pected to 60 on in rebuttal.

An INTELLIGENT American, just re-

that religion has nothing to do Wild
