L- CRimiNAL COURT. - Trial of nana ull,'colre. for tbe - RXurder of ibe Freueb Sailor Wm.' fflarey on tne 25tu of December tasi-arsonual or Cenoie', It has been a long time since a case for. murder has excited aa much interest in this city as that of Maria Hall, colored, which was commenced in the Criminal Court on 'Monday morning. All of the first day was consumed in making up a jury, and yesterday morning tbe Court commenced bearing the evidence in the case." ' ' ' . x The Court' rooni was crowded all day but1 during the argument of counsel it was literally packed. The principal Stale witnesses were Thomas c Mills and Frank Knutb, both seamen, who have been confined in jail since the preliminary examination,' for safe-keeping, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryson, proprietors of the boarding bouse in which; the homicide was committed on the morn ing: of the 25th of December last. The main . points ' of Mr. Bry son's evi dence was to the effect t hat -he -was "about putting up the shutters with the view of closing for tbe night, having stopped the iuu. .u luo u.u,u., rf been progressing, when Maria Hall cam's tot him and asked him to make "JTreachy" (a nick-nams for the deceased, Wm. Marey, or - Marie,) give up the keys to her room. He made tbe request of Marey, j as desired, buj deceased refuied to give them up. Witness was, approach ed at least four limes by Maria Hall and asked to try and get the keys from "Freocby," and he as often urged ! deceased to surrender them, telling him that he wanted to avoid any disturbance in his house. On one of these occasions he told deceased lhat be must give them up, and finally appealed to two policemen at tbe door to interfere in the matter, they but declined to do. so, saying it would be a violation of the rles under the circumstances. Wit ness says he then tried to entice Marey to the side-walk, so the policeman could in terfere, but failed, deceased declaring on every occasion that be would not give up the keys. Maria Hall finally threa tened deceased that she would have him put in jail if be didn't surrender, the keys, when ibe latter replied, "You put me in -jail, G d d n you; I'm a Frenchman, and I'll die before I give up ibe keys," or words to that effect. Witness stated that Maria Hall then went out,- and was absent about three or fouF minutes, when she again re turned, and then, apparently very much excited, passed through tbe bar into the ffance hall, inquiring for "Frenchy;" then returned to tbe bar room, approached tbe deceased, who was leaning on the railing of the bar, and said, "Frencby, give me my keys!" Witness didn't bear any reply, and the next moment saw Maria Hall draw her hand from the direction of deceased, in which was a knife. He then went to de ceased, and found that he was stabbed. Thomas Mills testified in substance that be was leaning on the railing in conversa tion with deceased, when accused came up and plunged the knife into his body, saying "take that, you s n of a b h I" The remainder of the testimony for the State was mainly in corroboration of what bad already been testified aa to the fact of tbe killing. Several witnesses were introduced by the defence to prove the fact of threats pre viously made by deceased against Maria Hall, and his quarrelsome disposition. At the conclusion of the testimony Capt. W. S. Norment opened for the defence' in a very' creditable effort, and was followed by Marsden Bellamy, Esq., in. a very forcible, ingenious and ex haustive speech of over an hour in length, which we have heard very generally com plimented. Solicitor Moore, who was alone in the conduct of the prosecution, then made a strong argument against the pris oner. The charge of His Honor Judge Meares then followed, occupying about an hour and a half, when the case was given to the jury, at about 7.30 P. M. A recess was then taken by the Court, Judge Meares instructing the Sheriff to send word to him at his residence if the jury was ready to come into Court before midnight, At 12 o'clock last night, the jury still re maining in their room, the courthouse was cleared and Maria Hall, the prisoner, was taken back to jail to await a verdict. Con cerning the. latter there is much specula tion. In the .event of a verdict of guilty an appeal to a higher court will most likely be taken byvthe prisoner's counsel. But many think that the jury will be unable to agree, and that a mistrial will be the result, in which event a new trial at the present term will take place or a continuance be ordered. , ' . - - a-a- Tbermometer Recora. - The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 4.31 yesterday, evening, Washington mean time, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city : Atlanta.......... 64 Augusta .70 Charleston, ..... .05 Charlotte ........61 Corsicana, . , . . 72 Galveston,. . ..t69 Havana. ....... 7..WS Indianola, , . . . . .72 Jacksonville . . : . .71 Key West, ?5 Mobile.......... 66 Montgomery , . . .65 New Orleans,.. .70 Punta Basaa, . . ..74 Savannah. .... .67 .Wilmington,. . 66 - WHITE LEAD WHITE LEAD "BUY THE BEST.'- The brand'' of strictly ..pare White Lead manufactured by Armstrong A-MeKelvey. of Pittsburgh, Pachas gained aft : enriable reputation in this market- for strict purity, whiteness and durability, and those -who wish t good work done will find tt to their Interesttobuy this brand of Lead. and see that the firm's name with guarantee is on every keg, as there ia a cheap Lead t being onerea jgttaafcefr. r.
