The Twelve Men Who Have the
Life of John Wallace in
Their Hands.
REMAINED OUT ALL NIGHT.
Case Coacladed la the Saperior Coart Last
Bveaiag Additional lastrnctlons
From Judge Allen Asked at 11
O'clock Last Night.
The life of John Wallace, the dimin
utive negro youth on trial in the
Superior Court for the murder of Will
Dudley, is now in the hands of a jury
which has been out all night unable
to agree upon a verdict
The evidence in the case was ail in
at 4:80 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and then came argument to the jury,
and a very able charge by v Judge
Allen which lasted until 7:15 o'clock
in the evening. The jury then retired
and in charge of Deputy Walter Fur
long they have since been out unable
to reach a conclusion. Last night
shortly after 11 o'clock Judge Allen
was sent for and gave them some
further instructions as to the law, and
it is expected that a verdict will be
reached by the time court convenes
this morning.
Hearing of the testimony was re
sumed yesterday morning at 9:30
o'clock with the continued cross-examination
of Phoebe Sterling, colored,
an eye witness of the tragedy. Her
direct evidence of the day before was
shaken but little and her demeanor
on the stand caused the remark by
counsel for defence that she appeared
to be a biased witness.
Sarah Fillyaw, colored, was the
next witness for the State. She kept
a "cook shop" in the vicinity of the
shooting and merely heard the reports
of the pistol.
Eli Pollock, colored, testified that
Wallace ran after the shooting, but
his other evidence was not material.
James Johnson, colored, testified as
to threats having been made by Wal
lace against the life of Dudley, grow
ing out of trouble they had about a
colored woman, Sarah Richardson.
Callister Johnson, wife of the witness,
testified to about the same facts.
Hannah Moseley, colored, testified
as to further threats made by Wallace.
Zeb Moseley, colored, was the star
witness for the State. He testified as
to a quarrel Wallace bad with Dudley
and of Wallace having gone off and
armed himself in contemplation of
the further trouble which came.
Mollie Gause, colored, testified as. to
a quarrel between Wallace and Dud
ley on a Saturday night preceding
the murder on Monday night
Annie Burgwin, Alexander Banner-
man and Emma Bannerman testified
as to threats alonr the same lines as
the preceding witnesses.
At this point of the trial the State
rested and the defence introduced Paul
Brown, colored, who testified that
there was a fight preceding the killing
and that several blows were heard
by him standing in the middle of the
street. Wallace backed out of the
fight and shot Dudley and then made
his escape.
Wallace, the defendant was next
introduced in his own behalf and he
testified substantially that he had
known Will Dudley, the murdered
man, for a year or more and had met
up with him on numerous occasions,
especially at Sarah Richardson's.
Dudley tried to raise a fuss with him
three different times. They met on
the night of the murder, he offered to
apologize to Dudley for abusive lan
guage he had used that afternoon ;Dud-
ley refused to accept it and struck him
twice with a stick on the arm and the
second time on his head ; he then step
ped bapk and fired twice. He recited
his attempt to escape and his capture
at Goldsboro. Wallace said he was
stunned by the blow on bis bead and
showed the jury a scar on his head
which he claimed was caused by the
blow.
Upon the conclusion of Wallace's
testimony, at 1:10 P. M., the court
took a recess for dinner, and at 2:45
o'clock Policeman J. J. Moore was in
troduced by the defence. He testified
to havino- picked up a stick by the
body of Dudley after he had been
killed. The stick was introduced as
evidence in court
Dr. C. D..Bell, the coroner, who was
a State's witness, was also introduced
for the defence for the purpose of re
calling the testimony of Phoebe Ster
ling at the inquest The derence then
rested its case and the State introduced
S. H. Terry and J. P. Sellara to prove
the good character of the witness
Moseley, whowas found to be very ma
terial during the morning session.
The case was then closed and Solici
tor Duffy briefly addressed the jury.
He was followed by Robert Rourk,
Eq., for the defence, who spoke 85
minutes. Mr. Rourk was followed by
Jno. HGore, Jr., also, for the defence,
who spoke about an hour and a half.
Both attorneys for the defence made
masterly arguments for the life of
their client and included in their
speeches a careful review of the testi
mony. Solicitor Duffy concluded the case in
a speech of little more than an hour,
which was one of the best and mos
convincing heard here in several
years.
Judge Allen's charge to theory was
not long, but it was very clear and
satisfactory, as a whole, to both sides.
The jury took the case at 7:15 o'clock
.d retired to the jury room. Soon
afterwards the members were given
supper at the Bonite House and about
9 o'clock it was tnougni m Wu..

The Sessiuas of Court To-day

and the large number of prisoners in

terday afternoon that he thought it

to-day, although he would like . very
much to adjourn. A number of jail
cases will be disposed of this morning
and a recess wll be taken during the
hour for services at the several
churches in the city. Yesterday after
noon Judge Allen stated that he would
likely take up the Smith embezzlement
case so that it would be in shape for

THE VOLUNTEEK FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Last Act of Hook aad Ladder Company
Last Night Was a Generous Oae.
Although out of active service for
the past ten years, Hook and Ladder
Company No. 1, of the old volunteer
fire department, was never formally
disbanded until last night, when a
meeting of its remaining seventeen
members was held at the City Hall
and an end put to its organization just
after a very graceful and commenda
ble act that of donating a surplus in
its treasury of $38.24 to the Associated
Charities, which is just now, on the
approach of winter, very badly in
need of funds for its care of the "poor.
When the paid department succeed
ed the volunteer service in 1889, it was
tacitly understood that the organiza
tion would not then formally disband.
There were a number of articles of
furniture belonging to the company
and thf sb were turned over to Mr. EL
J. Gerken with instructions to dis
pose of them and place the proceeds in
the treasury.
Last night at the meeting Mr. J.
Hill Bunting presided and Mr. H. J.
Gerken was secretary and treasurer.
The object of the meeting was primar
ily to divide the balance in the treas
ury pro rata amoag members, but
when the question was reached Mr.
Gerken read the call for aid published
in the morning papers by Dr. Black-
well, president of the Associated
Charities, and the question to turn the
amount into this channel was unani
mously carried, upon motion of Mr.
Gerken, who spoke in favor of this
course. The company then disbanded.
