OF his life aud acted In self-defence
was advised by his father to arm him
self against possible attack; acted
purely on the defensive with the
single thought of protecting himself
he was under REORGANIZATION for
30 minutes, but stuck to his story, and
told tale in line with the announced
plea OF self-defence.
One of the incidents OF the after
noon was the appearance of several
colored men in the court room with
white badges on the lapels of their
coat. The badges bore this inscription
Clifford Loves His Race and His
Race Loves Clifford.
1t is said that the greater number of
those who wore the badges had come
from the outlying districts. The
white ribbons attracted some little at
tention among the colord people In and
about the court house.
WEDNESDAYS SESSION.
The defense having completed its
case, The state took up the rebnttal
evidence. Mrs. Jacob Turner. wife
OF the dead man, was first called to
contradict the testimony OF Paul
Clifford in one or two important
points, which she did.
Mrs. Joseph Cook testified that che
had not used threats toward Paul
Clifford. as alleged by the latter that
Jacob Turner had at no time that
evening engaged in the quarrel be-
tween the Cook brothers and Paul
Clifford, but was a bystander She
also contradicted Clifford in one or
two other points.
DR.. Gray. colored physician, con.
tradicted Paul Clifford ALSO said he
heard no threats from Mrs. Cook !;
heard Clifford apply a vile name to
the woman.
Walter Johnson. woody headed lad
of IL, was greatly bewildered but fatty
oontradicted the testimony of Paul
Clifford regarding threats made
against him. saying he didn't heah
no SIGH thing"
John Basey. who was present dur
ing the shooting, also contradicted
the testimony of Paul Clifford said
Turner took no part in the fight,
as alleged.bv the defendant while on
the stand Turner was standing aside.
This closed the evidence, and the
state asked for an hour in which to
prepare instructions The court grant
ed recess until the state was ready
to proceed, and the jury took a walk
about town. under the guidance of a
deputy sheriff.

THE ARGUMENT.

the arguments of the state and de-
Tense were begun. The preliminary
address was made by Assistant
Prosecutor Downey, followed briefly
by Prosecutor Noll. Mr.. Woods for
the defence then took the floor, and
made very strong and clear-cut ar
gument. He was followed by Mr..
Emmert for the state, who in turn
was followed by Mr.. Walker for the
defense. The arguments were brought
to close by Mr.. Lindsay for the
state.
The addresses to the jury were ex-
haustive and covered pretty nearly
every phase and important point OF
the case. Each side made the best of
the strong points in its favor, and
sought to weaken the arguments of
the opposing forces. The case was
threshed out pretty thoroughly and
there WAS little to be said on either
side when the six lawyers got through.
The arguments occupied about four
and half hours.
The case went to the jurv shortly
before O'Clock. Those who have
followed it closely profess to believe
that the verdict will be either man
slaughter or murder in the second
degree. 1t is the general opinion that
the state has made out a strong case
for rnanslaughter. with probability
of even second degree. but there is
little on which to base prediction
of murder in the first degree. The
state has been aiming at the second
degree, while 1t is thought the defense
will be satisfied with third degree
and greatly pleased with anything Of
lesser degree.
VERDICT OF THE JURY.
The case OF Paul Clifford. on tial
for swo days on the charge OF murder
10 killing Jacob Turner. was brought
to close in the Circuit court at 8 80
O'Clock on Thursday night. when the
jury returned with verdict as fol-
lows:

not guilty as charged in the within

gree, but we find him guilty Of MUIR
