While sentence was being passed on hi?rt he giue tho \ ory fl i ?t ovidonco of tlinoh* nig. Tho cftHo in not yet at an eud, as thoro in an itimation of an appeal. Win counsel huvo made a gallant ll^ht for him and arc not disposed to give up until tho lust, effort is rnado in hit behalf. N'o douKt tho jury ncvor in tended that Aughry should receive a life sentence, but the sentencing Judge laid no legal right to regard the ipeoial request to lighten tho sentence. A verdict of guilty with a rycomeuda, Uon means life imprisonment. -Mr. Crawford in agoing for tho new trial I used his application on four grounds: Find, on ncoount of the ^special finding accompanying tho jury 's verdict and that tin? verdict did not carry out 1 1 ? ? ? intentions of the jury. Second, because the solicitor oinpha? hi/.ed and used against tho defendant i the fact that ho wits not sworn an a witness in tho ease. Third, becuuso of tho display of tho I garments alleged to havo been worn I by Mrs. Oliver, although they hud I been rule I out a;i evidenco. louith, on itceuunt of tho iusuflh oi( JicyY>f the cvideiico on which the conviction wa? brought about. Mr. Craw fords had Stenographer Macfeat lead the colloquy between the Cot!.' t and jury when it cau>0 into Con 1 1> tho second t iiiio to tind out the fofrns of a verdict. Tho jury, he nr#;od, wit!' misled by what was said in these instruetiouM as to tho ofioot of a rec oniMiendation to mercy would ipvidvo a life sentence. The jury, he said, iwus left under the iinpresH'ou that its votdiet would result in a ihoit term of sentence and not in lite imprisonment. T.Ho jury when it wrote "guilty," with a recommendation, considering its re quest for information as to mansluugh* tor, and its special pica to tho Court, evidently meant to bring in a verdict lor manslaughter, with a rccommenda* tion to rtferoy. lie also read the following statement signed by the entire jury us substanti ating the position he took on tho matter : 'Wo, the undersigned jurois who tried tho easy hereinabove entitled, found tho* verdict rendered, guilty with a i (^commendation to morcv, on the supposition that tho law was sueh t-luit it would place the punislunout iu the control of tho presiding Judge, who would put tho accused in prison for ti term of years and not for life. Our understanding of your Honor's charge led to the error, as we had no idea of finding a verdict which would imprison him no long ns ho livod. This position is borne out by tho com munication aiidrt used by tho jury to your Honor at the time of the render* in# of the vordiot, your Honor having said such a verdict would mako tho punishment much lighter. 'I he statement, he said, wan entirely voluntary on tho part of the jury. Mr. Crawford then took up the decisions of tho courts of the State as bearing on the issue as borne out in the cases of Murray, Dobsou and others. Then Mr. Crawford took np'the po sition that the Supreme Court had re peatedly ur?ed the impropriety of the solicitor makiug capital out of the fact th it a prisoner did not appear as a wit ness ill his own dofoiihO. As to the po tation that there woe, an insufficiency oi' evidence, he luveth that the State had nover gotten tliiMjbfeiidutit within two miles of the murder at tlse time it was commit ted. Solicitor NYlson in reply urged that the .J;^jye had on one or two instances, ami oqwmlly in the original chaiKO, instructed the jury fully as to the ctlect of a verdict of guilty with a rec ommendation to mercy. lie suid that j even where tho Judge failed entirely j to instruct the jury as to the e/1'ect of j a recommendation to mercy, too Su- ! premo Court had held that it would! not Vitiut-o the verdict. Mr. Neb ? so.'i thou took up the other ' points i)ti winch the new trial was! KOUf'ht. Crawford in bis reply devoted moftt of his attention to the idea that | th4 jury ? I i ? I not 1 1 : t n d to give such a ! vefdict as was in the hands of tho j < oiirt, and that it hail been misled. Judge Gary, in rendering hi? opinion j on tho motion for a new trial, said that hu w n n deeply impressed with the ini port nice ot his decision, and hoped J that lie appreciate 1 the full response, bilitv. As to the f 1 1 ? point, that the [ pre?i.:ij}g Jud^c had failed or through any oviTbight hid neglected to instruct tli" ju?y ;n ?o the full force of a ree- i omui "ii 'ntion to mercy, he siid: The j Judge m i.is charge to the jury fully j cxpiir.ued the force of such reeorn- | uiiTii.ation in the ttccond place the | j'uy it- i:, t abside.t Iv ei.tithd to thie i lUioi'ination. r ? i a ? uso inently up- L pealed from f-aur. i.s i otmty the Com t ! had ilveid d that a iu v\ trial was not to beg/antid from the failure of the Judge to charge on ttiis- matter, but hu | had ?;.v??n 1he JiTrr-ttxUjnict ious on the ' ViHry lino in <pi?>Htiot>7Vs?Mo did not I -u-wnf to deprive tho prisoned of any of 1 his rights, and hud himself, bO^ro the j law was promulgate d, granted a new i tii d because he ha<l not instructed the ! jur^ on the force < > f ?, rcconimendatu>n ! to in ere v. but in tin* cane lie thought the prisoner ha 1 received nil theii^titn ho was entitled to under the law. j )>o ? jury is ftimp lv to s.iv w li<-tli?>r the piis- j oner is guilty r.r not. and is not re- | sp- lisitilo for the puni*diiuent. In case the solicitor had i^oiie ho yond his bounds in hisargument in tho matter indicated by .Mr. Crawford he would have called the solicitor's ntten- ! tion to tho fact and made him desist. J lie said that ho had no denim to do- | privo tho defendant of an^ of his rights but looking at tho case as ho aid ho ! had to deny the request for a new i trial. dudgo Gary said to the prisoner that j ftH it wan intimated that thcro would bo tin appoul id }i j h cftKO ho \voiil?l i? ? t Miy ! anything in Hontencing liim tlmt might prejudice hi? oufi', aud tii at ho uuuld Miuply 8culi o<v hnji t?> iiji]>rih(ujmciit ; iu tho pinitontiiuy ut hard lul>or fur , ; tho remainder of It in nfttnral*Jifo.

He said I thut ho felt thut if the membere oould , I appreciate the feeling ho had for the success of the Democratic psrty and supremacy of tho white people, they | would pardon his trespassing on the | time of tho committee. The com mittee, notwithstanding any chal lenge that might havo been made against it, it a true Demo oratio committee. It is ?tho successor ' of tho committee of 1876, and it is 10 only Demooratio committee that had light to tho 11 u ui o since 1 ?90.

I asBumo my share of tho responsibility and say that we havo come to a crisis in the very oxist enco of the party, and as chairman of Democracy 1 dure spean out and w arn miu of the dangor that threatens us. Wo have eomo to tho timo when thcro iu a division in our ranks aud the issue must be fairly met.

The com initio was acting under powers of tlio ia^t Convention, and if it could not a*t there whh no need for a committee, lie wanted to know if the committee men would want to open tho doors fo Unit lit publicans and Populists might eomo hi and capture tho clubs and send delegates to Chiengo. Do the members now allow 'Republicans to eome in and vote in their primaries? Does anyone now vote except under a pledgo to support the nominees, who i v. r they may be? 'Tho committee is either responsible to tlio Democratic, Populists or Republican party, and if it htiindx for I/ouiocracy it should look to its iuterstx alone. lie Mvid that it was a most remarka ble thing that when it came to a State i Iertion tho eommitteo was anjrkuia enough to bind all who participated, but tluit when it came to a national election there was a desire on the part ni M>mo to avoid being placed under the vtjy pledge that was exacted of others. Kvery voter in 18!)2 and lB'Jl wiiii made to go under a pledge, and tin to was no objection to it at that time, and it was a very poor rule that did not wolk well both ways. Was the party going backward* and to abandon the wholo principle of pledg ing, or was it to apply only whon it divl not hurt those who were making tho rule? A bolt seemed to bo pro posed before there was any cause or excuse for it. If freo silver was ever to be gotten ho did not think it could possibly ho secured by a bolt.

Riding out on Dboeudboi 6, 1695, to a little country cottage lu the pine woods, a mile distant from Iron Station, the reporter taw a bright-faced young woman, a pure Anglo. Bnxon type, with llctht balr aud blue eyes Handing in tho doorway with two plump, rosy ohooked children half hiding behind her dross. Mentioning thut bo was looking for a family of Robinsons, the woman Boomed at first n littlo Auspicious. "You're a d' ranger In my eye," sbe said. "1 am trying to find a child natood Wilbur RoMuson, who was groat iy betoflted by Dr. WllliainV I'lnk Pills for Palo People," The young mother smiled and a pleated look oitmo Into bor eyes as she Bald, "Come |n," and addod, "I guess that's the one,*V pointing to the younger of the two little 1 bovs. Ii was an huinblo home, the family being composed of t ha1 sturdy farming class that goes to make up ono of tho strongest and trues! types of North, Carolina's good people.

Robinson, ton! a re markable story of the cure of her littlo boy from tho effects of la grlppo. Her aged, whito-halroi mother, Mrs. Sirah A. Bandy, tat near aud emphasize I every word of tbe duughter. Tho little boy, Wilbur, who owod his recovery to Dr. Williams' efTeoiive rem cdy, played ubout tho house and vard, and wan into every conceivable kin t of mlsohlef. It really seemed that ho must havo taken too many of Dr. Williams* P nk Pills, so great was thoenorgy with Which ho prosecuted his branks. Three times his mother ha I to stop ner conversation and rush out to rosoue ihe reporter's t.joyoie, which was leaning against the house outside, and with which Wilbur was bjci>mfng almost too familiar. 'l'!i is is the story the mother toll: Wilbur was born August 8, 1893. IIo was a s:out, healthy boy till ho was nearly five months old. Between Christmas aud New Year's he took the grippe. A physician nt Iron Station attended him, nnd tie was sup posed to havo recovered. But tho after ef fects of tho malady lingered with dlastrous results. In March, 1891, his parents noticed that ho could not stand upon his feet, al though i>efore his taking the grippe he could do so easily. Jio could not bear the wolght of his body on Ills feet; his legs were not growing any nor tho musola In tbolo develop ing. lie was not treated, however, till in tho fall, ab >ut the lust of October.* When Mr. Robinson took his cotton to Llnoolnton, the" county seat, ho also carried his baby alongj and a Llnoolnton physician preserlbed for him, recommending a lotion for rubbing his limbs. This helped tho child only tem porarily. Twice afterward this physielan was consulted. He toid tlx* pnroflts t hat the chil l might some day boablo to walk and again ho nil?ht not. They would just havo to let him "urow along," ns the mother expressed It, and see what developed. At this period theghlld's legs appeared to be shrunken. As his mother s.iys they wero "as soft as oot ton." Here was a biy fourteen months old, who not only could noi walk, but could not bear his wolght on his foot. lu some1 way?they do not know how ? a pamphlet found Its way to the Robinson family. Old Mrs. Bindy fished it out of a .bureau drawer. It had the picture of two dogs peeping ovor a fonoe on one oover, rtud on the other a herd of eows drinking in a cool stream near n bridge. Both on tho fence nnd on tho brldxo, on tho respective covers, was this llnei "Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Palo People." "When I read that those pWls would-bulld up tho bone, I felt that they wore the things for Wilbur,'* said his mother. Old Mrs. Bandy sat up nearly all of one nltrht reading this pamphlet, with all the testimonials It contained. A few days after they m?nt to one of the two vlllageetoree and gotjwo boxes of the pills. This was about the last of November. 1894. Before he had finished taking the first box, the littlo fellow was able to bear his weight on his feet, and before tho second box was all gone, he could hold a chair before him and push it across the floor. ' We began by giving him a third of a pill at a time, nfterwarl increasing the dose to a lial/. so they hold out a long time," said his mother. "We commenced the second box in January, this year. We had to send to Lin colnton, eight miles away, to cret tho next boxes. After taking tho third box, in Mareh, the ohlld began to ?o a fe . steps at a time, but be didn't walk by himself till in Septem ber. The fourth box5 or part of It, was a i minlstered in August." The testimony of the mother was that tho child's appetite and, indeed, hid wholo sys tem, was ho ped by the use of tho pills. Mrs. Hand}-, who had been looking over a sori of II try she keeps, at this point In the C mversitlon, ' read this entry: "Sept. the 25th. Wilbur boglns to walk alono by him self." "After he onco learned to walk." Bald his mother, "wo oou d hardly keep htm In sight of the house, nu l he was cured by four boxes, laeking ten pills. Mother says, aud always hassaid, the Lord directed somebody to send us that pamphlet of Dr. Williams." "Yon really b Ib'vo tho child s oure Is due to Dr. Williams' PillsV" was asked. "I am really convinced tho pills cured h'm," the mother answered. "I naven't the s!l litest doubt about It." And tho boy's grandmother ohlmed lni "I'm Just as sure of it as I am of living. I'll take an oath on the Bible that that Is what did It." The neighbors In *11 tho soctton around tho little vlllago of Iron Station know and talk nb mt tho remarkable cure of this babv, who might havo been a orlpple for life had.be not. oven at the atfo of two years, ono mocth ana seventeen days, been enabled ?o walk for the (Irst tlmo by tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink 'ills for Pale People. This story may seem to tho reader like a fabrication, but Is told as tho child's mother toid it to tho reporter. In order to show thoir appreciation, Mrs. Robinson furnished the following testimonial and sluned It. (She says she is willing at any tlmo to make sworn affidavit to her statements): ' ? - - Iron Station, Lincoln Co., N. 0., December 5. 1895. My Infant eon, Wilbur Lee, rendered un able to learn to walk by the effects of the rlppe, when bo was about five months old, hereby testify that ho was entirely cured, and the muscle* in his leg dnve'oped by the use of l?
