The cise was called at 1 o'clock. Mr. Hussey was represented by Judge Spier Wuitaker, and Marshal Carroll by Judg T. B. Womack and Art.jstead Jones, Ejq. There were only two witnesses the parties involved and the evidence that each gave was diametrically oppo site. Mr. Hussey testified first He testi fied that he saw Mr. Carroll in Washing ton some time in January, February or March, a talk with him; said Mr. Car- roil said ne was very anxious to secure his (Hussey 'e) services and engaged him to secure some information which would materially help him out, and that he (Carroll) would reward him handsome He stated that Mr. Carroll also re quested him to help him in a newspaper way, by making favorable notices in his correspondence. This, Mr. Hussey claimed, he did, but made no charge for, but based his charges on information furnished that was valuable. Said Mr, Carroll had offered to give him a fine suit of clothes, but he had refused. tie stated that no specmc sum was agreed upon, but he thought $100 was a reasonable sum. He stated that Attorney General Con rad had agreed upon removal of Mar shall Carroll, and that he (Hussey) called on the Attorney General to secure post ponement ot the matter, and that he was successful, and the matter was de layed until the new Attorney General Richards came in.

He claims he did so, and that the Attorney General told him charges would te dis missed. . He stated that he drew on Mr. Carroll twice for $25, and that both drafts had been returned unpaid, the last being en dorsed that "I do not owe this amount Stated that reason he did not draw for full amount was financial condition of Mr. Carroll. One of these drafts was made abont six weeks ago, and other only yesterday. At the conclusion of plaintiff's testi mony, the atsorneys for Marshal Carroll entered a demurrer to the claim of the plaintiff, on the ground of the recent ruling of the Supreme Court, which for bids the payment of claims for services in obtaing publio offices, etc JustioeNlchoJs ruled against this poim and Marshal Carroll was put on the stand. - . , He testified that he never engaged Mr Hussey to perform any servioe of any chraacter whatever. Said that he had conversation with Mr. Hussey in Washinpton relative to the complimen tary notices in the Tribune, furnished by Mr. Hussey as Washington correspond ent of that paper, and that he had thanked him for these' notices, and told him that he hoped to be able to some day be able to reciprocate them, and of fered to give him a fine silk hat, or a fine suit of clothes; said that Mr. Hussey laughed at the idea, stating that he would not consider it for a moment; stated that there was no trouble at that time. It was later that the charges were preferred, and that the first intimation he had of it was through Mr. Dcckery; said he went with Senator Pritchard and Mr. Dockcry to investigate the troufile. The matter was explained to Attorney General Conrad and time was given to answer charges; said he wired Congress man Woodward to come to Washington, which he did. They returned to Ral- igh, arraged answers and returned to Washington about the latier part of March. Mr. Woodward saw Attorney General Ribhards who had suc ceeded Mr. Conrad in the interim, and that the matter was then and there satisfactory settled. After the matter was arranged by Mr. Wood ward, the Attorney General expressed desire to see Mr. Carroll, who complied, and had interesting social conversation, and learned that Mr. Richards was kin to Mr. Husiey. Saw Mr. Hassey at hotel, just as he anl Mr. Wood ward were getting ready to return, and informed him of the distant kinship, and told him to cultivate the acquaintance.
