They testified that he was drinkirigTap ""peared to be pretty fullv Sears, as to his being a secret j.police for Smoke.- : ' f , 1 J. W.

The State announced this niorn- ing that for the present, .if would rest its case. Just here. we will state that much of the State's ,evi- deuce was published in detail on a j. former trial and ' there was very little material change. , , I . ' The defense then began. Chief of Police Woodali testified thatthe .Board of Commissioners had ap- Jnninted Rollins x a soecial 'oolice JP ' , - - - - with $i.fee for each arrest and con viction. "Special police bad been siae oi. corporate umiis wanao aplained.. and 1 Rollfns'Jwas as - led to the bmoky Hollow dis- D.

' : He said he was in Smoky IMIqw the night of , the homicide, v He a policeman; .was there with Dick JSpBer. They s met by accident. ' le went ID-Nan White's because she sent for him ome one was kicking on the door. They kicked the second time and :he went round the house,- and on the porch. Saw J. W. Jones, the brother of Sandy;: told him, to con sidJ himself Jindr arrest-.,Jiae started out with Jones , some one grabbed him jrom behind and: said, "cut his throat." He then told of a scuffle? that three men 'were on him; as he fell started to .draw his pistol and it fired twice. ..Some one . said "I am shot." One . of them fell over him, and one was striking at him with something in his hand, couldn't tell what it was; his pistol was wrenched out of his hand; his pants were cut; his coat was" ; snag ged against the fence, had scratches ..on his" hand. Saw Sandy Jones af- terwards lying fiat on his face,, with ' his (Rollins') pistol near his hand. Jones wanted to know . who shot him, i-ad Rollins said he did, Jones - remarked that it was the wrong man; he told Happer to ; take hold of John Jones' left arm; . fired only twice; arrested John Jones formak- ing a , forcible entrance ; into the ' house; and he was cursing. ', ' - These are iust mere outlines of the case. A considerable amount of testimony has been produced ' on both sides, and the witnesses have '-been under a rigid examination and y cross examination, and the defense is still offering evidence as -- we- go to press. '. . : We don't especially invite the public to call on us only when they have moneys But will be glad to see them on Friday as well as any day in the week., , r i , - W. IL Proctor.

Life was ervxto it r.s it is to you, and when you took its life you for feited yours. ;You must pay. the death penalty. It is useless forme to say that I feel any sympathy for you. I do, not.'.

There are white and colored people here who can do that for you. It is my unpleasant duty, however, to tell you prepare v for .death, and that speedily. ; You must suffer ; death on the scaffold.
