YOLUME XIV. NO. =l8.
positively whose feet were doing the
stepping DR.. Armitage was called to
testify to the wounds and said that the
only permanent injury received was
the Disagreement OF the face. 3
Veal for the defense did not deny the
assault, but claimed he did not kick
Anderson while down. He thought
the cuts on the cheek and on the lip
were caused by Anderson's falling
against the leg of the billiard table as
he went down. Stanley followed with
practically the same testimony and
Joseph Evens and Will Young saw the
same kind of trough house. They
did not see Stanley mix in it and did
not hear him say to- Veal, ss'Kick the
head off hints what he deserves,'o'
as testified-to by some of the other wit
nesses. The attorneys did not make
lengthy pleas, but the court was very
explicit in his charge and the case was
given to the jury at O'Clock for their
consideration. ..=~--. j. )
A feature of the evening session was
the large number of ladies in attend
ance. The evening session gave them
an opportunity to witness the workings
of the legal mill and they were out in
force. = .~.-- -. = -. -
The Veal jury came to an early
agreement, being out less than an
hour. They brought in verdict of
guilty of assault in the second degree
against both defendants. This means
reformatory sentence for both the
boys and should prove valuable les
son to others similarly inclined. =
Early this morning the Ray jury
agreed on a verdict and were dis
charged. This jury perpetrated an IN
pheasant surprise upon the public by
bringing in a verdict of not guilty.
While it was shown by reputable wit
nesses that recently stolen property
was in his possession, the jury by some
unknown method of reasoning found
he was not connected with the crime.
This morning the defendants Ray
and McGinnis were taken into court
and the cases against them continued
over the term. Bail was fixed at $500
in each case and the boys are hustllng
for the ''spuds'' necessary to obtain
their freedom. = -
| AS soon as the burglary cases were
disposed of the case of the State
against Greenough was called. After
the usual legal sparring the jury was
! secured and the irst witness called
was Joseph Sawyer, one of the parties
indicted for raping Mrs. Mitchell.
He told of visiting the womans house
and witnessing a partfof the crime for
which Greenough is being tried. The
facts were revolving and no selfrespect-
ing newspaper would, give: them pub
licity. -. = 80 :. i j, 5ss-,.- =.
The cross-examination by Mr.. Dom
nelly was searching one ;andsthe wit
ness was obliged to appeal to the court
several times to- prevent discriminating
himself. He has told all that he
could withou doing this and the de-
Tense appears to be trying to show that
special inducements had been offered
: him to testify as he has. In return
Mr.. Donnelly is striving to secure ad-
missions which will show the witness
guilt. In trying to ward off this Saw
yer, will probably contradict some of
the testimony he has given and thus
help the defendants case with thesjury
The case is still on trial as we go to
press and will probably consume the
entire day. ~.
Among the cases still for trial are:
The State vs.. A. B. Damon; the State
VS.. Jerry Kilmer, who defaulted his
bond; the State VS.. f. F. Douglas; the
State VS.. Sawyer, all of whom have
been arraigned.
