TRIAL OF THE SKCREST MURDER CASE The State and Defence Both Conclude Their Testimony and (be Lawyers Begin Their Arguments. Marion, McDowell County, Satur day, Sept 21st, 1878. At the time of adjournment yesterday evening ax wit nesses for the defense had been exam ined. Dr. R C. Pearson, of Morgantpn, was examined as an expert. , He . began, iia tDaimnnT hv savincr: "ThfiSfi aitft' human bones; a part oi them iar,e,the Dones ox an aauib ana urn ouiaie iiue the jury what nones pi me uuuiu oouy are represented in this collectaon-r-oine' are parts of the skull, some arm and. leg bones, one a collar bone, rib bones, &c. There are in the entire collection, 8 bones of the .adult and 24 of the child. The second witness introduced by the defense was one Franklin Belk, a young man 19 or 20 years of age, according to his appearance, and late of the State of Mississippi. This witness testifies that four or live days before last Christmas he was on this way from lorth Missis sippi to Union county where his mother lives; that the evening he arrived ;in Chester, S. G, where the train stopped .about an hour or an hour and a half before sundown, to get dinner, a lady" having with her a little girl, got on board the. train. This .witness soon got into conversation with the jwoman and; she told him her name was Maggie Ste venson and that she lived in Union county. She came on to Charlotte and there got off the train when witness saw her no more. . , - , Cross-examined by Solicitor ; Adams, witness says it was about two days be fore Christmas when he got to Charlotte, and took the train next morning for Monroe; has never seen the lady since. Took particular notice of the woman on the train and -is certain that she had light hair, fair skin and blue eyes; the child had rather yellow eyes; the wo man, had on a steel grey dress and dark straw hat. , In answer to a question as to how he came to tell of this incident witness said when he heard of Secrest being arrested for the murder of a wo man and child of this description, he remembered the woman and child and told it to some of the friends ofJSecrest, and that is how he came to be here as a witness. . -' , ' ; Sue Adams, the eighth witness (whom utt. nT Vtmnarht. nnfnf .iail at Charlotte. 1 I 1 J ; to testify in this casej says' that in Jan- . nary, o, sne was living iu vu"wv3 m a part Of the city known r as logtown ; that during the second week in J anuary, she was sitting in her house by the fixe; when some one rapped on the gate, and, on going to the door she saw! a woman with a little girl, three or fdur years old, cUnn iTri fh linr whpn Rfl6 went iOUt to the .gate the woman spoke to her -andi asked Sue ii sne ma noi jcuow uerr duo says she had never seen her before.

W. C. Rainer was next brought for ward. This young man has been living withMcKee Secrest a 'brother of the prisoner,, for six or seven yeiatrs This witness first made the acquaintance bf Mrs. Stevenson in the. summer ofil87B i went to the house during the summer m company with one w m. jf owler. He and Fowler went to Pleasant- Grove church to Sunday school-and ;he and Fowler went from the church to Mrs.' Stevenson's home and staid there until 2 or 8 o'clock in the evening, when they both went away. The next time this witness saw Mrs Stevenson was in Charlotte, about two weeks before last Christmas, near the North Carolina Railroad depot, -this is the place where five witnesses saw the woman), shook hands with Mrs. Stevenson when he met her and she called "him by name. According to this-witness the same lit tle light-haired girl was with her. Thig little girl was Minnie Stevenson (if this witness is to be believed.) ' On his cross-examination; he prefaced an his answers with Mw-e-a-ll" until his honor told him the preface was, not at all necessary. Mr Rainer was stoutly of the opinion that there was no room at all in Mrs. Stevenson's house exeept a little "baecrshade" where she did her cooking. The fifth witness was one Jonathan Miller, who would not be recognized if described as handsome, and I could not tell whether he was looking at the judge, jury, or taking a broad view of the court room. This Jonathan .lives in Union county and says he knows Mrs. Stevenson very welL The last time he saw her was in Charlotte, be fore last Christmas, near the , . North Carolina Railroad depot; spoke to her and called her by name. She spoke to and named Jonathan. The little girl was along three or four years old. Cross-examined : He said he thinks he saw her within ten memths previous to the time he met her in Charlotte ; did not know whether she was at home af ter March 27. Thomas Eller was next brought for ward, but was not kept long on the stand. He said "he did think he saw Mrs. Stevenson in Charlotte near Christ mas, "77, but now-he: is satisfied that he was mistaken about it." n Court, adjourned until tcniiorrow morning at 9 o'clock Saturday, September ' 21. -t- Court; convened at 94 o'clock this moraine. The first witness who was : piaped up on the" stand this "morning Was E.' ,E, Gaffhey. This witness swears that he came to Charlotte in September, 1877, and was employed by F. A. MoNinch in manufacturing cigars. Some time in December, of the same year, he was made foreman of McXincb's establish ment. He was often in' the sale-room, where cigars, tobacco; etc, were sold. About the middle of January, 1878, a woman came into the store, having a little girl with her. The woman was fair-skinned and had auburn hair. She asked witness for 25 cents' worth of "rose-perfumed Scotch snuff." This witness informed the woman that he did not have any snuff of that brand in the store, but that if she would leave her address he would consult the boss and see if he would not go out and get the brand desired. She gave her name as Maggie Stevenson, and told witness that her husband had left her at Hick- Cross-examined : Said he bad been in jail at Charlotte; was put , there on a peace warrant, . jOn account oi a cuuicui ty with McKinch, , ; . , j i ' 4i.

Hartsell was then placed upon the stand and questioned as to what kind of hat Maggie Stevenson had on when she was married by him. Says his best recollection is that it was a white straw hat ; thinks the hair shown to him in court is like Maggie Steven son's hair. B. C. Alexander lives in Union coun ty, on the land M .McKee Secrest, a' brother of the defendant, a This witness swears he had a conversation about Christmas with Rainer, and Rainer told him he had seen Maggie Stevenson when lie was up at Charlotte. W.F. Alexander, a sonjpf B.C,Aiex- anderytnade aoout tne same statement as his father. The old man, B. C Alexan-J der, swears that the general characters of. W C.

Ji Harget s wears that "he was in the posse that arrested Secrest r eight men besides the deputy- sheiifr were along: Secrest did not' attempt to 'get away nor look excited when'arrested ! ' Mr.: Covington here announced -that the defendant would rest Ms case. ' : i ' The State then placed i unoa I the ' stand, Dr. W. A. Collett; of Morgantdn, as an expert, whose evidence was about the same as that of Dr. Pearson, 4nJ all the general principles of decay to wMeh human bodies are isubjected; -On oe point ' they ; differed slightly in their opinions, viz : the' Withdrawing of the bones of the Child from ; the-shoes, as Kfdrrdfhithe gravei ?When-thecHild's shoes were1 round in the grave, they were lying on top of one another; Iwitn tne sTxCKmgs- m tne snoes as tnougn the foot had been slipped out of ; : them without " disturbing the : Stocking-- or moving the shoe, as far as could 1 be. seen by any witness. Dr.1 Pearson took the ground that the drawing out of tjic bones by any animal and leaving the shoes and stockings in the-' icondi? tion in which they were found, was pos sible but not probable. Dr. C, on: the' other hand, was satisfied that1 bodies buried as these were supposed to have been, would, in- less time than1 ten months, be in such a condition that the flesh would have1 entirely : left the, bones, while the ligaments would with7, draw the bones, as they Would 1 still; be undestroyea, and the "bones would' be easily drawn out entire the mortifica; tion of the flesh would make the bohes slip out of the stockings (the ligaments, holding the bones togethe) ' with ease. J. S. Tomlinson repealled, says in sub stanee that he does not believe any bne alighting from the eastern-bound train at Hickory could see a buggy fifty yards from the platform; coming from the di rection as Ellen Medhh had sworn. After Rev. J. C. Hartsell was asked some questions about Maggie: Secrest's complexion, color of hair, &c, Mr. T. M Winchester, of Union county, is intro duced and ' swears that he knows the feneral characters of W. C. Rainer and ames King, and . that tliey are both bad. Leroy Holms swears that the charac ter of W. C- Rainer is ! bad ; does not know King's character. The character of McKee Secrest is good. G. F. Crowell and Abel Helms (the latter the mayor of Monroe), swear that the character of W. C. Rainer is bad. W. H. Trott swears that the character of James King is bad. ' J. A. Harget, the last witness for the State, swears that James King's charac ter is bad. .;.; This, closed the evidence1 for the State, and the court adjourned for supper. - J. G. Bynum is to opeii the argument to-night for the prosecution, and D. A. Covington is to reply for the defense.
