should give to the testimony of any witness, they also had the right to con- slider the demeanor of such witness on the stand or any personal interest the witness had in the case.
 The charge defined larceny and receiv- ing stolen property and stated that in order to convict, the jury must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the de- fendant was guilty. A reasonable doubt was defined as an actual or substantial doubt and not a mere possible or spec ulative doubt.
 In conclusion the court explained the forms of verdict that the jury would be likely to render.
 Following this large number of writ ten charges were read which had been submitted by the defendant.
 As the court house clock was striking five, Assistant Solicitor Winston delivered the charges and the various articles that had been introduced in evidence to the jury.
 The jury retired last night at about 1030 o'clock without reaching a verdict.

NEGRO BRUTE AT LARGE.
Police Find No Trace of the Man Who
 Attempted Criminal Assault.

The police have been unable to find any trace of the negro who attempted to criminally assault Miss Maggie Toibert, a young girl, at Tenth street and First avenue Tuesday night about 7;5o o'clock.
 The description of the negro is meagre and the police have doubts about catch ing him. The negro attacked the young woman and dragged her into the bushes near that place She struggled desper- ateIy with him and he choked her badly. The marks of his fingers are on her neck.
 After the negro and the girl came out of the bushes she called to two white men to catch him, but they did not ap- prehend the situation and said her cloth- ing was muddy and torn. She finally per suaded the white men that a criminal assault had been attempted. They then made an effort to catch the brute. but without avail.

 Eye Witness Talk.
 T. A. Dougherty of Morris came in on the belated train last night. He said:
 "I was an eyewitness to the wreck. Words can hardly describe it. We all knew the Decatur accommodation was due when the second section of No. 3 went through. Really I was not sur prised when I saw the two trains come together. There was an awful crash which I think could have been heard for miles around. There were several eye witnesses to the wreck. After we came to realization of what had happened we immediately went to the scene of the wreck to aid in any way we could"
 D. M. Tanksley. a representative of a Nashville coffin house, who was on the train said:
 Through the efforts of Conductor Ar hold the lives of many of the passengers of the south-bound were saved. A great deal of credit is due to this man of the road for the manner in which he con- ducted himself during the very trying ordeal"
 Superintendent Starks and Chief Clerk Kemp remained at the union passenger station until after the second section of No. had departed for the south By that time all of the injured had been removed to the hospital.
