Are you going to convict hit Remember that it is the duty of the Stat to iake out its case beyond a teasonablo doubt. I fere you have three oite hors farniers incarcerated in jail with very lit tle tilne to get ready for this defenci rushed to trial and with the newspaperf howling the:n down. Has the State proved to you thai 1). Ilipp's store was brokei .open There were no foot-prints or wagon tark. aroind the store. Mr. ITipp says the3 could not have gotten in In any other way exce t through that window and thereore ie cotchtdes that they entere( the window without any evidenwe on thal point. These iten are accused of steal Ing. I don't tliiink you take then to bt lunatics or fools, though you may take thet to be rogues, but before you do let me sask you, do you think if these good. were stolen goods an-l these parties stole then that they would have left D. Ilipp', private cost tark on thenu? So far as the charge of changing the receipt there is nothing in that. In the prosecution of this case the State has beetn assisted by ani attorney who Ias few equals in this country as a critninal lawyer. Of all the faculties given him by his God I never saw his sarcasi sc well used as it was inI the exanination of these witnesses and I never saw hi. tongue so oily and. gentlemten, lie closes tle argument inl this case and will again bring his faculty for sarcasni into play. But I beg yolu whent you go in that jury roon to remteinber that by your verdict you will make these defendaits the hap. piest or the most miserable people in this county tonight. The closing argument for the State anid the last speech in the case was made by COt,. GEORGE. JOnNSTONiR and in force and sarcasin it equalled or excelled anything that Mr. Culbreath could have anticipated. It was a speech only such as Col. Johnstone could tiake and one that we very reluctantly under take to pretend to give a synopsis of for it is an alinost inpossible task. The fact is uiless it were reported verbatim it would he inpossible to give a correct idea of it. He said: The closing- argu Ituent in this case is now to be tiade. The two gentleien who have preceded mne on the part of the State have assumed the task of pointitig out to you the evidence that proves and deionstrates the guilt of the defentlaits at the bar. My task in this case is to .aply to the arguments of the two gentleii who have just spoken for the defence and I shall attempt to conline my remarks to that and to show you in at rational way that these defend ants are guilty. Myself and my )partner stand here a- the represenitatives of anl outraged c -illnuiity. The Solicitor is here on I ha. p ut of an outraged State. We are here to .Iow youi .that the evidence poitits to the guilt of the parties here charged and that it proves their guilt be yond I reasonable doubt. A juror who desires to acquit, with a dishonest heart and sophistic brain cannot find a case tiot equal to his sophistry. What we are here to (o is to convince a mian with a reason able head. Where are we at ? Let's take a survey. Let us see first the undisputed facts and then travel to the disputed ones. Was there ever a towni of Pomnaria ? Counsel seem1 to dloubht aind dlispute it ? WVas there ev'er a uiani niaiined D)avid HIipp ? Counsel seemn to dloublt that. Did any goo.ds ever leav'e that store ? Now into their sophistical reasoning I will not en deavor to followv thern. I will answer that there is a towni of Poinaria and that there is a David Hlipp and that he did lose sonme goods. One of the counsel went to this extenit which justifies the criticisini I have miade. lie actually sug gested that if D)avid llipp), who is paying this detective were put upont that jury lie woulu acqut these nien. What a sugges tion !I anm reinind(edl of a lecture I once haeard on Womtan, which foir the convent ience of the lecturer was divided into three questions: "WVho ain womnan? WVhar did she coinie fromn ? Atid wh'ar atn she gwine ?"' It was about as comiic as the tears of consel, for hio retninds me in the flov- of his briny tide of the d1e scrip)tion which Mark Twain gives of his travels in the IIoly Lantd whien lie coies upott1 the tomnb of Adant and bows d'owni and wveeps over the grave of his anicestor. Conusel denounctes thle salaried detec tive. If lie would have you not b)elieve the detective because lhe is receiving a salary mnight we not ask hint how you could believe hiin and his associates, for are they not salaried attorneys? Are they iiot paid for their work in this case ? They weep over Jaitnes A. Riser and ask you not to send. hinii to the p)enitentiary and( separate hitiu froni the wife of his bosomn and tell you that lie is over 65 years old1. I have heard of people being exenipt froin jury duty and frot road dhuty oin aecout of tage, but at, what age ini South Caroliina do p)eop)le arrive whein they have iniun i ty to beconme thieves. Almighty God coininanads you to separate your coniinu nity' fromn crmne aind the State cornmnaandls you to puntishi the crimninal, aid niake an exanmple of oustraged justice. Shall you say that a white uana cant thieve above 65 year-s of age, that lie mnay reanniin with his wvife. At what age would counsel have been willing to render hitu uip to an outraged coiiuniunity ? IInd lhe coiiie here uinder 21 years of age the plea would have been it as mny dlarling babe anid you mnust not take hun front his muother. If lie had cone hiere in his younig mnhood they would ha~ve tol uis yot umuist not blast Is youngi life. If lie had conie here in the full flush of snatured tnanibod the plea would have been you m':.4 not renmove hiimi froin his faniily and take away a good citizen fromii the comnmuniity. Whelin would you have been willinig to give hitu up to outraged law ? Counsel talIks about p)ubbe senitinenmt and an inflaned press. I see it not excep)t as told from his own lips. T hat communnity has been outraged and we do hear at dettiand, an imperious dlemiand(, that this thing shall be stopped atnd by the Eternal thie people of that commiitttuty htave mtade uip their minds that it shall be stopped or they knowy the reasoni why. I have heard of the doctors insertini vaccinae virus iii the armi to p)revenit smal 1 p)ox.and bacteria to mnake you imutunie against yellow fever, I b)elieve that is what they call it, but never before have I heard thait anything Riad been intvenmted which could b)e inlserted itn the arm of Jan. A. Riser to give hhnttilicenise to steal tand htarlbor stolenm goods. They talk about reputtationi and Cliristianity. Full manty a mtian.before this has worn the cloak of Christiaity and the garb, of religion to hide a vile beart. I rile tnot at religion. God granit that the tittne itay comne whent the Christinan religlot ill re ..d I..vr r coiutnuity and In every heart. I have an . outhority that is higher thait hunan law I which says that on occasions before this while the prayer ascended to heaven the a hand was thrust into the till of his r neighbor's inoney drawer. This authori. - ty tells us that the oily hypocrite has - been thrust frot the door of the church I aud that hell Is their portion. Mr. John ? stone then read from the Bible the conl a demnation passed upoti hypocrites and then said, in the naine of the Christian k Church we ask you to uninask this I hypocrisy. Now, let's see. Here stands the father of a fastily and when lie is called ispon for his life work lie trots forth Albert and Willie as his jewels. ,IIs hypocrisy has ruined one generation and in the nane of his grand children I ask you not to leave lilitL free to ruit then. Did you expect hitu to say that h'e knew these goods were in his house? I would like to cap off the Christian character of the saintly Jas. A. Riser in the grab of a priest and woul mantle hitii p in this flowing robe (a striped table clot h) and for a umit 21r would sew up some of these silk handker chiefs and piut his feet in those boots aid then I would ask what part of his Chris tian character was left. No, sir, Betle hei church cannot receive hit. You can conceal guilt, but whet you do you put the cancer in your own breast. They would keep Willie front Bundrick and yet look how they treated him. Albert not in his room for four years, his fatier never there, and his mother never cleaned or swept it. Poor Willie lived in a rat hole. That's the evidence. If you be lieve it, turn hitu loose. But if you do you are piling up against the day when riot will stop this thing and neither the tears of counsel or the Christian charac ter of Jas. A. Riser or the joyous charac ter of Hatton can put it down. And if Hatton wants to sten the current there miay be another grave upon which there Iay be other tears. David Hipp's store was never robbed until Hatton ceased to be a partner, and then pluuder was the order of the (lay and Jas. A. Riser was a priest in the temlple and Willie Riser a graduate in plitnder and mioral depravity. And I an going to show you Hatton's finger all through this deifense. W. T. Hatton slept in the rooti with Albert at the jail and the defense was changed. That cominunity has shown its teeth and has been driven to the stand to testify what manner of man W. T. Hatton is anl I say to you that his days of riotous brow-beating of that comnunity are at an end. These are no threats. That con inunity is free. HIatton says to these de fendants in the stilly hours of the night: "Boys, they've got you. You miust change your defense. No use longer to deny the identity of t,le goods." These inen have come here againist Jas. A. RisLr, the saint; Albert, the scribe, and Hatton, the pal, and if respect remain in Iim and for the kindred we respect, whet lie leaves here he will leave that comutunity for good. You all remember the Siokey Town trouble and how the moral senti ment of the community asserted itself Jin Banks was a saint. All the preachers said so, and yet lie was a robber. The only differeice between Jim Banks and Jim Riser is that one was bold and the other sneaks around behind the pulpit. Grant what they %xy about Clarence -indrick, yet they are guilty of receiv g stolen goods. Here are the goods in their house. If it was a negro you would convict hiiii, and why not convict a white man? I would rather a negro would steal than a white man. I ant' proud of ty race, iuy State, tity country, and that I am of the English speaking people. These goods were in their house. How they got there they don't know. Believe it if you want to, but don't claimi any longer to be reasonable men. Gentlemen, I tell you Win. T. Hatton's career of crime is ended, and I don't say it as buticombe. Hatton says Albert Riser bought these hot goods in the sui mer tiiine and p)aid1 for them in cash. But they say there was no breaking. Then these goods have a nmore ethereal, spirituial nature than Jas. A. Riser. If you believe these goods got out of that house by themuselves, doin't convict these p)eople, for if you (10 you will do wvrong, lilast the Riser fatnily! That is a new (doctIrine it free Atnerica. I thought in this country every man stood on his own muerit and wheni a mani is a mani he stands. Have resp)ect for the young, but if the future ot thiese p)eop)le are to be those wvho are toj break into the store of soiiie future D. IIipp now is the time to.end the breed. Gentlenmen, you.r gat-1e is p)layed and( WVin. TI. Hlattoni can't save you. Gentleie of the jury, show muercy to thern and you leave the property of that coitnunuty at the mnercy of outlaws, civ liaonis at aii end and hypocrisy is triumuphant. WVe are a dlomiuiant pJeople. We have dIriveni out the alien and the carpet-bagger amid the renegade.

At the conclusion of Col. Johnustonme's speech Judge Benet charged the jury its to the law in the case andt exp)lainied the different verdicts that coul be brought, andl the case that had been fought for four (lays in the court house was in the hands of the jnry. Tlhe charge was clear anid plain and fair. The judg~e ord,ered that supper be givemi the jury in the jury roomn and when they were ready with their verdhict that lhe be sent for at the hotel. The crowd still lingered, though it was after (lark and when the jury caine ini at 9.3) with their verdict there was not staniiniig roon int the court! b .use. Wheni the clerk readl the verdlict of guilty of house breakinig and larceny as to Albert and Willie Riser amid guilty of receiving stoleni goods kntowing thten to be gtolen as to Jas. A. Riser there was iio demnonstratioii and the prisoa.ers seeed not to 1)e mnoved by auny emotion. Soie tines, however, when there are nto visi ble expressions of entotioni the pang~ cuts the deeper and( -the heart burnintg 'is the tuore severe. .The prisoners still claint that they are innmocent. A jury after it tedliouis and im.. partial trial has saidl they are guilty. Judge Beniet in p)assinzg the sentenmce did tot lecture thieni to add to th ei'r sorrow. IIe si:n1-ly anniounlcedl the sentence of the - court, which is that Albert Riser and Willie Riser shall serve for five years and one inontht at hard labor int the State p)en tentlary, and that Jas. A. Riser shall serve for eighteen months at hard labor on the county chain ganmg or in the State penItentiary. The one muonth was putt on the senttence for the reason that a recent1 act of thte Legislature p)ermiits prisoniers sentenceed for dive years to be put on the pub)lic works of the costnty, and Judge B enet desi red these sent to the State peni Itentiary.

We utderstand that counsel for the de fense will take a appeal in the case, though the report could not be confirmed. The defense has ten days in which to ap. peal. We think it hirdly probable that there will be an appeal. PIRTITION FOR PARDON. Petition for the pardon of Jas. A. Rioer has also been gotten l) and is being cir culated. We understand- that the Hon. J. A. $1igh has started the petition and no doubt lie will receive many signers. Somne people think lie was not so mich to blame as might a0pear from the testi Mony. And others think that the law has now been vindicated and the old man. has suffered enough and should now be pardoned. E. I. AULL, E DIToR. TIIE TRIAL AN) ITS tRbULT. The trial of tho Pomaria case Is at an end. The verdict has been rendered and sentence passed by the court. It has been a tedious trial and every body connected with It has been on strong tension. The tension Is broken. The people generally approve the ver dict,. They do not see how it could have been otherwise. They feel that the jury did Its duty, however painful that duty might have boon. .Judge Benet has been patient, cour teous, amiable and extremely impartial and fair throughout the four days of tbe trial. Tle lawyers on botlh sides have done their duty faithfully. The attorneys for the defense have inade a bravo fight and they made out of It all they could. The Stato's side has been ably handled. We do not think we ever heard six bettor speeches from their respective points of view. The charge to the jury was failr and impartial. It was simply a case of a man being over tako. in his guilt. IL was a long time before we could get our consent to believe the old man was guilty, but the conc'usion was in evitable. We feel sorvy for him and his life companio. It is a very sad ease. A main who has lived in one eommnity for 65 years and who had roare a family of eleven children and held prominent positions in his church mad count,y and had been honored and irespectod by his neighbors all this Lime, to be convicted of receiving and riarboring stolen goods, knowing then to be stolen. We can scarce imagine a 3adder spectacle. And wo sympat,hie with himl in his tronble, but do not Cnl done inl the least the en !ie. Hle must have known that his sin would sooner Dr later be found out. Public opinion nd the newspapers did not have thae slightest inhiience oan the verdict in this case. The evidence was the troua blae. T1here are more cases to try and there will probably be more arrests. All the guilty onles ought to be br'oughat to the bar of justice. Those who dlisrcgar*d the law should he nmade to pay the pen tity. That's all there is about it. [f there are otbers who are guilty they 4hould not go free, and only those who have beena convicted1 be made to suffer. There is one (daner ini a case like this. A community that has been ter rorized, wvhen the goodi people do arise Ind dleteirmine to stamp h~Out the evil do ars, the dainger Is that t,he pendulum may swing too far and some man may bo convicted on suspicion. While nao uilt,y man shouald escape, yet we shonld rememnber the old nmaximn, that it, is botter that some of the guilt,y should ascape than t,hat, any Inanocent man houild suffTer. Thlais is said with no purpose other than to conser've the pulblic weal. Tecross examinat.ion of the wit. nessos for the defense in the trial last, week as conduicted1 by Col Johnstone was the finest we ever saw in any court roam and cold not have been excelled. Thae silken cord was thrown out and~ the witnesses led into his trap) without knowing by what, influence. It was sut pcrbly done. Judge lienet has been commended very highly by the jur'y for the mnan aor In which lhe has condiucted the business of the court. His charges and ixpositions of the law have been cleat' (1d( to the point. We think, too, ho is to he comnmended fo' bringing the J'omatria ease to a .ainul.
