about fifty witnesses the SUtto
Saturday rested its c;tse iu the trial of
Eriiest Haywood, for the murder of
Ludlow Skinner, irt February last. The
defense has here over 200 witnrs^es,
and says it will take four or five nays
to examine these. It can be positively
slated that Haywood will not testify
In his own behalf. A new witness was
! Jem s Fuller, of Durham, a member of
| the last Legislature. Mr. Fuller's tcs
titnony made a sensation. He stated
that at the time of the shooting he
was on the third story of the Yarb?rougli
House, near the window over the
D'ain entranee and that a young lady
was seated in the window. He saw the
first shot and Steiiijier. who was reI
treating, was off the sidewalk with his
bark to Haywood. As he reached the
middle ot the street he turned-'and fell
at Haywood's next shot. On the crossexamination
Fuller testified that :his
attention was attracted by the young
lady. Miss Mattie Pace, exclaiming that
two men were about to light, and that
after the shooting she said that Mr.
Haywood and Mr. Skinner appeared to
be in a heated argument and that Haywood
was gesticulating as if to im!
press something on Mr. Skinner, who
I slruek hint, at whieh she exclaimed:
I "lie is going to shoot," meaning Mr.
i Haywood,, and turned from the window.
