Cured at her home near Winnings on
July goth, she having previously iden-
titled Webb when brought before her
as the identical negro.
Judge Morris had taken every precau-
ton to throw every safeguard around
the accused negro, that he might have
a fair and impartial trial, and appointed
as attorneys, Col. d. w. Blair, Col. ].

Mrs. Exa Brown was the first witness,
