Greenville News.
' This case very narrowly escnped, If It eseapea,
being a cold blooJed assassination.
The defendants, In my mind, bad do provocation
for doing what they did and ibe Jury Is
to be commended for bringing a verdict
against tbem. I do not think tbat tbere was
any doubt In tbe minds of tbe jurors as to tbe
guilt of tbe prisoners; tbe only hesitation
was as to whether they were guilty of murder
or manslaughter. I bis is a very unfortunate
case and 1 am Inclined to believe that
It originated over tbat horrible traffic?the illicit
dealing in liquor." These were tbe I
words o/ J uuge Klu^n yesterday in announcing
that he could not grant a new trial in the ,
case of Thomas R. Lindsay and Columbus <
Sims, who were convicted on Saturday of
manslaughter, having been tried for tbe ,
murder of Jas. K. Moon. Turning towards
tbe prisoners the Judge then said?"It Is,
therefore, the sentence of this court tbat each
o! you be confined at hard kibor in tbe state
penitentiary lor a term of fifteen years."
Tne words of Judge Kiugh fell with so'emn I
eflVct upon the pr^oners. For tbem It means
p'aciically tbe same as life imprisonment for
t orn have passed the prime of life and when
tnelr sen tenets are ended will be old men.
They received their sentence without a quiver
and apparently resigned to their fate.
L-iter Sims appeared to be deeply affected.
Mr. Aivln H. Deau, attorney for tbe prison I
ers, made a hard tight lor a new trial. .He|
Eiaimed tbat toe evidence was not sufficient
to warrant tbe conviction ot Columbus Simp;
that tbe evidence did not show tbal be bau
Bred tbe fatal shot. He also claimed that
the evidence proved tbat Lindsay shot In self
Jefensp. A (bird ground upon wblcb be
isKed lor another bearing was tbat 81ms was
*t>-eot lor a lew minutes from tbe court room
whllt> tbe case was t>eiug tried. He made au
ubie argument for another bearing lor tbe
men.
Judge Klugb said that he was convinced
that tne trial was a fair one and that be did
nut care to reverse tbe decl6loa of twelve
iood men who found the defendants guilty.
He eaid that twelve men could come nearer
iecldlng a case fairly than could one and for
that reason the verdict would have to stand,
tie deplored tbe killing and said tbat the conviction
of tbe men should serve as a warning.
He said some words about the illloll liquor
traflc and said that he thought that this case
jrlglntted irom it.
Judge Klugb also refused the motion for a
new trial in the case of Wilkes Swilling, convicted
of manslaughter. He sentenced him
to serve a term of sevea years in the *tate
penitentiary. Mr. DeaD, attorney fir Swll
ting, has served notice ol an appeal to tbe supreme
court in this case also and Swlllli>e
Das beeli released on balMn the sum of 81,800 '
pending the decision of the supreme court,
twilling was tried for the murder of John i
Pearson.
Lomas Young, colored, was found guilty of
ihsault- aud battery wliu intent to kill on (
rbursday and Mr. Welborn, his attorney,. ,
yesterday made a motion lor a new trial, -t
which whs refused. Tbe Jurige sentenced
aim to a term ol five year? in the penllenti- '

The Court of General Sessions will adjourn
today. A great deal has been accomplished i

In Rome there was a long period during
