SPECIAL TERM OF COURT.
Trial Of Jim Polite for the as.assi
nation Of Mr.. b. J. BessIey-
He Will Hang.

ne VIII nsng.
In pursuance of the order of Gov
ernOr Jennings special term of the
court was held in Ocala yesterday for
the trial Of Jim Polite for the assassi-
nation of Mr.. ID. J. Beasley, the facts
OF which have already been enumer-
ated in these columns.
From the list Of jurors summoned
the following named persons were
drawn 10 serve a. grand jurymen, viz:
w. 3. Priest. F. w. Ditto, r. H. Will
kins, Allan Rodgers, w. E. Butler,
b. L. RaysOr, ]. w. Stevens, r. A.

After duly organizing a true bill

afternoon the case proceeded to trial.
| Mr.. y. NJ. Alfred. states attorney,
prosecuting for ana in behalf of the
state, and Mr.. r. A Burford defend
ing the prisoner by appointment of
the court.
The following gentlemen We're Sc
lected as petit jurors: Alfred Proctor,
J. y. Priest, w. A. Moorehead, J. NJ.
Mathews, John Anderson, r. +.
Brigsnce, J. f. Leitner, Robert
Marsh, c. L. Grace, John Pasteur, H.
c. Gates, c. NJ. Livingston.
Several witnesses were examined
but the case seemed 20 hinge on the
testimony of the prisoner himself.
Briefly, his testimony was, that he
was in a physically weak condition
aud that Mr.. Bessley wanted him to
! do certain work that be WAS unable To
perform. That Mr. Beasley marched
! him in front of him at the point of q
gun punching him severely several
times with it aud told him if he did
not do this work he would kill him.
/ That he afterwards went 10 his caoiu,
remsining there all day brooiing over
/ this matter and when it became dark
! he left the cabin, went To white
mans house, stole gun and shells,
/ loaded it and that night stood in front
of Mr.. Bessley's commissary and
when he saw him behind the counter,
fired upon him sni fled.
Mr.. Burford made an earnest aud
eloquent appeal for the life of the
prisoner. He did not ask for an ac-
quittal but asked that the measure of
punishment be less than hanging.
States Attorney Alfred made a
very clear, incisive and unimpassion-
ed address, stating that the deed was
premeditated, cold blooded assassina-
ton, and IL behalf of the state of
/ Florida, in behalf of law and order, he
asked for verdict of murder in the
first degree without recommendation
/ TO mercy.
The judges charge consisted of
fourteen counts explaining very clear
ly and succinctly the definitions of
hOmocide and manslaughter and their
various degrees.
After the delivery of the charge the
! Jury retired and after being out some
/ thing over an hour returned n verdict
of guilty Of murder in the first degree
with recommendation 10 the mercy
of the court signed by four of the
; jurors, but as it requires seven this
recommendation Will not he legally
