The court room was packed from rh hpirinnlncr hv a r.rnwd which maria no attempt to conceal their eagerness to hear all of a case, which from its pecu liar nature, and its several removals first from Rowan, where the tragedy is alleged to have been enacted, to Iredell, and then to Mecklenburg has for a long time occupied public attention. Solicitor Montgomery is assisted in the orosecution bv Cant Chas. Price, of Salisbury; for the defence appear, Messrs. Shipp & Bailey, of this city, and Messrs. J. W . Mauney and J. M. Gray, of Salisbury. . Hon. R. F. Armfield was to have assisted in the prosecution, but is not in attendance upon the court. The following is the jury selected: J. S. Phillips, W. S. Alexander, F. B.

Following this were a number oi questions by tne proseentjion, ail. in tended to show that theBrisoiier, had purchased or proposed to purchase strychnine from the witness, to each of which objection was -made, on the ground that the witness had said at the outset- that he-did Jiot recognize the prisoner. The judge, allowed the ques tion, did any me 'apply- to you for strychnine on the llay designated, and the witness replied that if he did,1 he (witness; ma not Know, ms .name, ex ception was; take&f to ,this qngtgorl by the defence.

He! wore an ordinary farmer's dres$, and, itkere was nothing peculiar about his appearance. Finally the prisoner was made to stand up, and the judge asked. Do you have any re collection of the prisoner? to which witness replied he did not.
