Tho trial ol Dr. A. N. Bellinger l'or \
t lie killing of Stcphney Ki loy on thc
Und October lust, was bad before Judge
< 'm li, an in Charleston last week, coin
uionciug on Tuesday. Solicitor Jervey
appeared for thc Stute, while tho de
fence was represented by Messrs.
Mitchell & .Smith and thc Hon. A. O'.
Magrath. After SOVoral challenges a
jury, composed of twelve white inen,
was empaneled and sworn. Thc first
witness for thc Stutewas Dr. Kinloch,
who simply described thc live wounds
- two in tho head ami three in tito
bodv.
W. W. DoVcaux described tia; en
counter-or so much of it as lie saw.
Ile .stated thal Ul loy was advancing on
Dr. Bollinger with his head down ami
ids right arm outstretched, and that

lames Wclb, coloriai, slated tho cir
cumstances of the encounter, and swine
that after Dr. Bellinger bred twice
Kiley fell, and that after he fell Dr.
Bellinger shot him three limos.
Selina Carter, colored, dose ri bed the
difficulty of tho night before thc kill
ing, but ber account did not greatly
differ from Dr. Bellinger's, summariz
ed below. She saw only two shots,
being in tho house, and then gol
Kiley's pistol and raised thc alarm.
When s!io got to Kiley bc was dead.
Alexander Williams, colored, staled
that bc saw thc morning encounter,
mal, after Dr. Bollinger shot Riley
twice bc (witness) saw him standing
over Riley's prostrate body, and lire
threo times.
Joseph Cain testified to thc encoun
ter, and said he saw Dr. Bollillgor
"?tagger back"', and tire, and that the
'.Doctor fired twlco imo Kiley's pros
trate bodv, and snapped his pistol after
thal.
Joseph Kennedy, coloriai, brought
out nothing new. Ile denied that he
Said before thc coroner that Dr. H. re
treated from Riley into thc middle ol'
tho street, and thou fired.
The State hero closed its case.
Dr. A. N. Bellinger, thc d?tendant,
was now sworn. Ile stated that on
the night belorc the killing be was in
tho streets, attending to his regular
professional business, and that when
lie came to a point on Bull street, be
tween Smith and Rutledge, he heard
loud strokes of a whip, and cursing.
Ile said to thc man (whom he lound
to be Riley), "You ought to bc
ashamed of beating that horse in that
manner; why don't you lead him on?"
Kiley became angry and abused, cursed
d?tendant, nourished his whip, and
came on him willi a knife in his hand.
Defendant went oil', leaving Riley
cursing and threatening.
Tlie morning of tlie homicide, de
fendant went on his usual rounds, by
no unusual route, and fearing violence
from Riley, put a pistol in his pocket.
lie met Riley at thc corner of Bull
and Smith streets. He saw Riley willi
Iiis back to thc fence, his arms akimbo
and legs stretched apart and glaring at
liim in this manner. As I got opposite
to liim bc >aid: "I took you for a
gentleman, but 1 never made such a
mistake in inv life; you arc a d-d
White-That, was pretty gal
ling. I turned and I said. "Rilev,
this thing has got lo stop herc. You
cursed mc shamefully last night and
threat cued mc. Now you have got to
retract this." I said this in a voice
not louder than I am talking in now.
Preserving thc same position, he said:
"I have got iud bing to retract, and 1
won't take back anything," and bc
said, "If you want to fight I am a
better man than you arc and I will
give you h-1." I said: "1 don't
want to liglit, but you have got to take
these things back,'" and bc said "G - d
d-n you, I will give you li - 1 anyhow, '
ami with that he made a rush at me,
and as I stepped back, having on low
quartered shoes, my foot turned and I
stumbled oil' the pavement and my hat
fell od. I then jumped back a couple
of steps into thc sired, and when 1
looked again he (Riley) Was coming at
me with his knife ill his hand, so.
(Witness indicated tin- position thus:
?lead lieut down, tuc. left ana thrown
up as a shield and thc right hand with
thc knife in it drawn back.)
Q. Was tlic knife open?
A. Yes, open.
_ir?. In which hand?
A. Right hand.
Q. Hud you lost sight of him when
you stumbled?
A. Yes, my hal fell off and I lost
sight oi him for a moment. I then
bucked nearly to the middle of the
street, and bc followed rushing at nie
with Ins knife drawn so (indicating as
above). I then pulled out my pistol.
It was a self-cocking pistol, and I kept
pulling the trigger until lia I di to thc
ground. I then picked Up my hat,
wiped it with the tail of my coat and
walked back to Caph Dawson's house.
(After stating that he stuned down
town to deliver himself up, ?nit, after
going to Capt. Dawson's house, he
turned back, went homo, and informed
his wife of what had happened, the
prisoner testified as follows:)
Q. How far was Riley from you
when you fired the first shot?
A. I can't say how clo?;, but he
was very close. You cannot make
very accurate calculations under those
circumstances. I k pt bucking and
kept pulling tho trigger and running
backwards. Ile rushed at mc with
his hoad hont down and a knife in his
hand.
Q. Where were von when you fired
tho first shot?
A. I was about thc 'middle of the
street, und I was bnck of that, before I
stopped. I never removed my hand
from thc trigger. I kept on firing.
Q. Where was lie when you fired
tho first shot?
A. He was right on top of mc.
Q. Was lie advancing?
A. Ile was rushing ut mo. Thc
inst shot that I fired I was a further
distance oil", because I kept bucking
ami kept firing.
Q, If you had not fired what would
bo have done?
A. Ho would have cut my throat.
Ho could have takon me and held inc
at arm's length and cut my throat. I
havo not as much strength as when /
was 15. He could have held mo off ai.
arm's lenghth and I couldn't have rcach
od him by six luchos.
Q. What was his condition ?
Ai Ho was in a violent rage. He
cn i "<i me, had threatened to kill me
and 1 was simply defending my life.
Solicitor Jcrvoy said he had no ques
tions to ask tho witness.
T. F. Doylo testified that lie saw
Dr. Bollinger ami Kiley out in tho
sheet. Dr. B. was iel real i ii", and
Itiloy was making after him with an
open knife in his hand. Did not see
firing, but heard it. Witness's horse
then jumped off and cu rled him ont
of sigh-.
Dr. Ant Simoudt, H. H. D
. I I ?WWIIHU.?Illili?.I
Leon and Alexander Me Loy testified
to tho good reputation and peaceable
ohnraotor of (ho defendant.
Hugh Murray testified that he Baw
Kiley al tho railroad depot tho morn
ing alter tho night fuss, and Kiley told
him that bo (lUloy) bad cursed Dr. Ii.
iibont his interference with him, and '
had also threatened him.
J. ii. DeVeaux Haid he eaw Dr. B.
retreating I'roin Kiley, and then saw
lour ortivo shots tired in rapid suc
cession.
Thc evidence of Kennedy before thc
coroner was put in, to contradict his
statement tis to what he thou ?aid.
.liimes Kelly and J. C. Iluinphill
stated that thov saw and talked with
Bel ll ugo r about D o'clock on tho morn
ing of thc homicide, and ho was in hi
usual .'?nod humor-not excited. (Thc
killing occured about eleven o'clock.)
This closed tho evidence. Mr. Smith
proposed to submit thc casi? without
argument, but tho Solicitor declined.
Arguments wore then made bj
Judge Magrath, Mr. Mitchell and Hie
Solicitor.
On Thursday tl"' case went to thc

while -ome shade i- advantageous.
Karly in January, it not sooner, make
a large brush or log heap .?ii inc bcd
and burn it thoroughly. I then spade
up thc soi) about ton or twelve inches
deep ami again burn a brush heap
upon it, and then lc ibo spot stund
lora week or two, or Until lhere

I nguiu spade tho ground (tour or (Ivo

tho leaves begin to get lough as when
young. If nuy worms should bo loft

Third, li the ground ls in full tilth

I have (wo kinds of sood, mixed;

Wishing and working for thc wel
fare of our funner.-, dutton I'lunt cau
tions (hem against (lying off nt a tan
gent. Tho News and Courier, With
its Intoreet for our fanners, is ably
advocating the cultivation of tobacco
in our State, on a lal'gd and exfonsive
seale. We advise our (.inners to go
slow on (his question i The impover
ished coudii ion ol nor soil has nearly
impoverished our State, ami tobacco
is a much greater ex haus tof of the
toll (lum cotton. Severa! months ago
we published a letter of Mr. J. C.
Stribling ob tobacco, wi.ici. clearly
defined tho dangora, und now tho edi
tor of IIH> Greenville Daily News, H
Virginian, pays:
There ?nay he much prolit in grow
ing tobacco ia oar Stoic, lau il is an
expensive experiment and will bc a
disastrous ono it'it i- iriotl otherwise
than cautiously i [t i-< woll to rcuiom
bcr that thc poorest '."?.lion of \ ir

growing under ihr management of

of study and expeYienco lo guide them.
Tho mop is more exhaustivo io thc

Will?, our present light we boliovo
tobacco will bo protiitably grown in a
sundi way asan adjunct to cotton and
corn, asa few acre's of lt on a planta
tion would not require the employment
ot' extra help and Would Utilize thc
?parc time ol regular help. When
farmers havo gen ?ly tried that Kys
tom for a year or two they eau ?earn
tho mollio'ds of growing mid curing
tho crop and know what hope ol'pretil
there is in it. At tie- >aiiic lime they

where what tobacco they make eau he
