cured a remarkable bad ease. Wishing

Court.
The Court of General Sessions occu
pied the whole of last week. The fol
lowing cases were disposed of:
State vs. Isom Workman and Jno. P.
Satterwhite, continued, under appeal to
the Supreme Court.
State vs. B. Harmon and Joe Salter,
Trespass on lands; appeal from Trial
Justice Court. These defendants were
arrested and carried before a Trial Jus
tice, charged with trespassing on lands.
They demanded a jury, and the Trial
Justice required them, as a prerequisite
to getting a jury trial, that they "put
up" the money to pay the jury. This
they did. The jury disagreed. They
were again brought up for trial, and
again the Trial Justice demanded the
jury fees in advance, and the defendants
refusing to "put up" the money the
Trial Justice tried them without a jury.
They were convicted, and sentenced to
a line or imprisonment. Mr. Packer,
representing the defendants, appealed
on the ground that they had not been
legally tried. The Circuit Judge sus
tained the appeal, holding that an ac
cused person is entitled to a jury trial,
and that he is not required to make any
provisions beforeband for the payment
of the jury. The case was remanded
to the Trial Justice.
State vs. Calvin Gallman, assault
with intent to kill, and assault of a high
and aggravated nature. Some sheep of
Mr. Thos. H. Adams got into Antony
Moon's field;.Moon had them put up,
and sent to Mr. Adams to come and
get them. Mr. Adams went, but when
he got to the stable where Lhe sheep
were confined he was met by the de
fendant who demanded pay before the
sheep should go. Mr. Adams refusing
this demand and attempting to take the
sheep away, the defendant fell upon
him and beat him severely with a brick
bat over the head and shoulders.
Messrs. Jones & Jones, who represent
ed the defendant, proved thatthe defend
ant was working for Antony Moon for
two-fifths of the crop, and insisted that he
therefore had a right to bold the sheep,
(by force if necessary,) till'he was paid
for any damages they may have done
him. The Judge charged that the de
fendant could not hold the sheep for
damages even had they done him any
damage; that the law only gives the
"owner of the land" upon which stock
trespasses the right to hold the. for
damages; and that in this case Antony
Moon, who had rented the land, was
for the time the owner, and therefore
the only party entitled to hold stock for
trespass. The jury found a verdict of
guilty of aggravated assault and batte
ry.
State vs. Oscar Jones, assault with in
tent to kill, and assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature. This de
fendant pleaded guilty to the latter
charge.
State vs. Willie Ruff, Rape, and as
sault with intent to ravish. The prose
cuting witness in this case was a stout
colored woman of 25, the accused a col
ored boy of 15. She testified that she
was put in fear of her life by threats
and thus overpowered. The case looked
a little fishy, and the jury said Not
Guilty.
State vs. Ella Robertson, Pleas Rob
ertson, Jim Robertson, Bob Porterfield
and Harriet Porterfield, Grand Larceny.
These parties, all colored, were charged
with stealing two bales of cotton from
Mr. F. H. Dominick. The evidence
showed that Bob Porterfield worked
land of Mr. Dominick last year; and
that he was indebted to Mr. D). Mr.
Dominick, the prosecuting witness, tes
tified that Bob turned over these two
bales of cotton to him in payment of the
indebtedness. The testimony raised
considerable doubt as to whether it was
a complete contract-whether Mr. Dom
inick had accepted the cotton in the
sense he testified it was offered-in full
satisfaetion. There was some attach
ment and claim and delivery proceed
ings in connection with this same cot
ton, and the whole affair was about as
badly "mixed up" as "them babies". It
had very much the appearance of try
ing the title to personal property in the
Sessions Court. The jury couldn't de
cide the question of title, and therefore
couldn't agree. 4 "mistrial" was en
tered; and the accused were let out on
$300 bail, except as to Pleas Robertson
-the case as to him was nol ,pros'd.
Mr. Schumnpert and Mr. Carlisle de
fended the accused.
The State vs. Milledge Snow, Ob
structing Rail Road Track. This case
has been on docket for several terms.
The indictraent was quashed during
Col. Ball's termi on a technicality, the
indictment failing to allege that cars
were drawn over the track by steam en
gines. Mr. Robertson testified that he
saw Snow place a "chair"~, a piece of
iron used on railroads, on the road be
tween Saluda Bridge and Chappell's,
and that he found two other "chairs"
on the road near this. The proof was
conclusive. Messrs. Moorman & Sim
kins, who represented the accused, in
sisted in the argument on a verdict of
not guilty on the ground that it had not
been proved that "steam engines" drew
cars over this track. The only testimo
ny was by Mr. Robertson, that a "p4s
senger train" had just passed over the
road carrying a red flag, indicating that
another "train" was expected; and that
a few days before an "engine" had
knocked a bar of iron off the track near
the place of this obstruction. The
Judge held that theze was sorne eyi
gegee on that point, and that whether
it were sufficient was a question for the
jury. The jury thought it was suf
oient, and found snow guilty.
State vs, Simon Johnsop, M4urder,
occupied all day Thursday in the taking
of testimony ; the argument of Counsel
and the charge of the Judge were con
cluded by 2 o'clock Friday. The jury
auredI, and in a half hpv gned *~
a verdict of guilty. The testimony was
very voluminous; but it was proved
that the accused shot and killed Field
ing McDowell on Mr. P. B. Workman's
place on the 'th of March with an En
field rifle. A peculiarity about the case
was that Job Johnson, a brother of the
accused, confessed the day after the
killing that he (Job) did the killing.
and he stuck to it to the last, going upon
the witness stand at the trial:*.id swear
ing to it. Fielding and Job had had a:
difficulty a few hours before the killing.
and thei e was some testimony as to a
diiliculty between the two at the time
of the killing; but the State showed
that this claim of Job that he killed
Fielding was a "put up" job between
Job, who appears to be of weak mind,
and his brother Simon, their idea being
that Job would have a chance of ac
quittal on the groand pf self-defense, and
Simon would have no chance at all.
Job's testimony was contradicted by
overwhelming evidence. The prisoner
was defended by James Packer, Esq.
Friday afternoon the convicts were
sentenced as follows:
Oscar Jones-Four months in the
County Jail, and a fine of $5.
Calvin Gallman-Four months in the
County Jail, and a fine of $5.
)Milledge Snow-Two years at hard
labor in the State Penitentiary, and a
fine of $25.
Simon Johnson-To be banged Fri
day the 5th day oi August next. When
Johnson was asked by the Clerk, after
the usual form, what he had to say why t
sentence of death should not be pro
nounced against him, he replied-"I'm
not guilty; I'm not guilty, at all."
Judge Fraser, in passing sentence,
said: Simon Johnson, you have been
convicted of killing a man who was
living on the same plantation with you;
one of your companions. Being put on
your trial, you have had every privilege
the law allowed you; you have been
defended with a great deal of zeal and
with ability. After a long and tedious
investigation, the jury have found you 9
guilty. Notwithstanding the fact that
your unfortunate brother has volun- t
teered to take the crime upon his own
shoulders, the jury were satisfied that
you were the murderer. After careful t
consideration, I can find no fault with
their verdict.
Yod stand here not only to answer to
the laws of your country, but with your
hands imbrued in the blood of your fel
low-man. You did the deed without
justificaton or' excuse. With strong
hands and ungovernable passion you
sent him, without warning, into eterni- t
ty. The law imposes upon me the
painful duty of pronoun cing upon you
the sentence of death. All I can tell
you is to make your peace with God. I
You should look the matter squarelyjin i
the face. It is my duty to warn you
against any delusive hopes. In the
short time allowed von you should re
pent and seek forgiveness from HimI
alone whose forgiveness is of any ser
vice to you. Prepare to meet your God.
Though you stand here covered with
the blood of your fellow-man, there isI
forgiveness for you if you will seek it.
The Judge then pronounced the sen
tence.
The prisoner exhibited very little
concern during the delivery of the sen
tence. He is a large, stout man, black,
and is about twenty-eight years of age.
