- h-. Argument Aud Jury .
Given Case. ,
At the opening of the day's session
of court the argumeot was resumed.
During the morning session Messrs.
Nixon, Wm. Dunn and L. I. Moore
rpoke in behalf of the defendant,' eaoh
of these attorneys presented their cli
ent 'b c use in A ah :- and- eloquent
manner and with the little material
which they had to work upon impressed
everyone or tna spectators wltn tne
fact that they were making superhu
man effort to save the defendant's
life, . . " I -
At the conclusion of Mr. Moore's
speech, a recess was taken. -.Upon re
convening Solicitor Charles Abernathy
began the closing argument in behalf
of the State. In a Vivid manner he
described the murder of young Avery
by Baker Bryan.' He told of . the past
life of the defendant,! that time and
again he had been in trouble and. had
escaped each ,thne witll a light penalty,
and that finally his career had come to
a climax with the cold blooded murder.
During Solicitor Abernathy 's speech
the court room was crowded to its ut
most capacity and so intense was the
interest mantfeitettis) the proceedings
that the slightest noule in any part of
the room gained the disapproval of ev
ery one. i:v;';;:'
For two hours ' Mr.' Abernathy held
the floor, and at the conclusion of his
speech Judge Foushee began bis' charge
to the jury, : In summing up the case
he went over the .evidence of all the
witnesses and fully lexplalned every
phase of the different kinds of verdicts.
His charge wa fair and Impartial, and
at the conclusion it was evident that
the jury had, a clear conception of the
entire proceedings and would weigh the
case among themselves according to
the evidence as they saw it ;
At one o'closk. last night the jury
had retired for the night with no decis

the enpine for pumping.
Ahout ihe lime this fire was gotten
under control another was discovered
on Carroll street, two or three blocks
swav. : The department hastened lo it,
but two houres were consumed and two
others btdly damaged before the flames

was much excitement and lamentation
among them. The fire department was
