The Yorkville Enquirer of Saturday gives the following summary of the trial of It. V. Macon, who was indicted at Fort Mill a year ago of breach of trust with fraudulent intent: Until recenly, Macon was station agent for the Southern railroad at Fprt Mill and it.wuh claimed that his accounts were short to the amount of in his trial the prosecution tried to show that Macon had appropriated the mouey to his own use and changed entries 1 on his booKs to cover up the shortage. It was shown very clearly t !...? ~ ..i?* : ?- i ? * mm. a ouwutimr t'xisivju, uui uy way of explanation, t lie defendant claimed that lie had frequently made good over-charges of freightetc., and that his duties were more than one man could perform in consequence of the large increase ; of buisness at his station, it was , a physical impossibility to keep up with his hooks and keep them straight. The jury returned a ver, diet of not guilty.
