Circuit Court Ended.

The February term OK the Cir
butt Court completed it's la,or5
on Saturday after busy TWO
weeks session. The criminal
docket almost entirely claimed
the attention of the court and but
few Of the civil cases were dis
posed Of.
The case that attracted most
attention was that of Dee ana
and Porter House, who were in
dicted by the grand jury of the
term for the murder OF jim Putt
near Blair, in the first district.
last fall. The defendants filed
a motion for a severance which
was by the court sustained and
the district attorney announced
that he would try Dee House first.
A motion was made for special
venire OF so men which was
drawn and summoned for Wed
nesday morning. Almost the en-
tire day was consummed in Sc
curing a jury, the, venire was
exhausted and the sheriff was
instructed by the court to call
the names from the regular panel
of jurors for the week. The fol-
lowing twelve jurors were finally
accepted after the challenges by
both sides had almost been eX-
hausted; J. B. Abernathy, J. L.
Marion, Brown McNeese, l.. Il.
Shumpert, w. d. Part ow, N. l..
Witcher, Talmage Metcalf, L. L.
Lamb, A. c. Stands, Huey Nor
gan, j. E. Morgan, j. j. Rogers,
Plantersville. The testimony was
all in by Thursday at $3.50 and
the opening speech for the prose-
cution was made by Wylie A.
Blair, in which Mr.. Blair clearly
and forcibly presented the side OF
the statesand. the grounds upon
which itTrelied for conviction.
He was followed by Mr.. Ander-
son for the defense, who in his
clear and logical way sought to
tear down the pillars that sup
ported the state in it's contention
and for an hour handled the law
and facts to prove that his client
was not guilty of murder.
Guy Mitchell, Esq.,, followed
| for the defense and made a sDlen-
did fight for his client and fully
sustained the reputation he has
as an advocate before a jury.
Mr.. Long was sick and did not
address the jury. On Friday
r1orning the closing speech waf
made by District Attorney Geo.
T. Mitchell, who consumed one
hour and fifteen minutes of the
one hour and thirty-five minutes
which remained to the state.
Mr.. Mitchell was in good trim
and proceeded to give the states
side with the usual clearness and
vigor which always characterizes
his presentation of a case. Fair
at all times, he piled up before
the jury such a mass of facts
that supported the states theory
that many who heard the argu-
ment believed that a conviction
for either manslaughter or mur-
der would be returned before the
jury retired. The jury was out
a couple Of hours and brought in
a verdict of guilty and fixed the
punishment at Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for life. The
defendant moved for a new trial
which was over-ruled and an ap-
peal will be taken to the supreme
court.
