The late hour at which the fatal oc currence, last Saturday afternoon took place gave us an opportunity to give the public but a very limited account. About five o'clock Saturday after noon a warrant was served upon offi oer Hogue and a preliminary hearing was had before M. B. Bar bee, Esq., at which there was a very large at tendance, consisting mostly of colored people. The state introduced two witnesses, Dr. James McKee and a colored man named Mekin Lane. Here the State rested and the testimony of the de fense commenced. The first witness was Mr. H. H. Crocker, clothing merchant, doing business on Hargett street. He said that he was standing in his door when he saw the commotion and saw Jones running down the street with Hogue after him and heard the first two shots fired. He states that Hogue was then about twenty feet behind Jones. Jones halted and Hogue ran up and caught him by the collar and tuseeled with him as if trying to get the better of him. Jones turned and the two men grappled face to face and Jones struck Hogue upon the head. The officer then fired again. Mr. Oldham, Mr. Crocker's clerk, stated that when Jones stopped after the first two shots that he turned' and met .officer Hogue half way and was grappling with him and striking him when he fired a third shot. The oth er witnesses for the defense were Messrs. W. M. Utley, Geo. F. Kenne dy, R P. Finch, E. G. Horton, Frank Bedford and O. W. Belvin. The tes timony of all of these corroborated that of Mr. Crocker almost in every detail. After the examination of the above witnesses, Messrs. J. N. Holding, city attorney, and Mr. J. C. L. Harris for the defendant and Messrs. T. P. Dev ereux and T. R. Purnell for the pros ecution made speeches. After the argument Justice Barbee adjourned court until today at 12 o'clock. In the meantime officer Hogue was placed in custody, of the Sheriff until the question of the legal nature of the affair can be determined as relating to bail. -THE INVESTIGATION RESUMED. At 12 o'clock today.the investigation of the case was resumed at the court house, it having deemed been proper to remove it whither on account of the heat. An immense crowd was in attendance, consisting largely of col o red persons. The prisoner, Officer Hogue, appeared promptly in court, and took his seat by the side of his counsel, Messrs. J. N.
