The Court of Ap|?cals have refused to
grant a new trial in the case of the Mate
vs. Phineas II. .Johnson, for nuinler.
AVe publish Ik'IoW. the senteuee of the
court, as delivered by Judge O'Xeall. in
Columbia on Monday the loth inst.
Phineas Johnson : Young man. how
can I say to you. in the awful language
of the inspired prophet."set th\ house in

say to you. that the natureof your crime
forbids the jtossihility of pardon here.
Your only hope of pardon is in t lie merciful
atonement, offered for you and all
men. in the broken l?od\ and streaming
blood of bill), who cried, "father, forgive
them, for they know what the\ do."

consequence of the gios;- lininoiahiv and

Female virtue has there, I am told,

not regarded as a crime; and eoneubinage
is not at all rare or disgraceful.
Will you not. its you approach the gallows,

probably, the lirst white man hanged

It is true, that you and the deceased

K1T281MM0N3 NOW CHAMPION.
Wins the Fight ill the Fourteenth Round After
Cne of the Most Terriffic Battles
on Record.
City, March 17.?After two
wars of doubt and vexatious i>osti?onements,
the heavy weight championship
ot' the world was decided beyond cavil,
when Robert Fitzsimmons sent James J.
Cork'tt helpless to his knees with a left
hand blow under the heart, one minute
and to seconds in the fourteenth round
of their kittle in the arena here this afternoon.
The great contest was won in
the simplest manner and the knockout
was the result of one unwary move on
the part of Cork'tt. After the liist minute
of the 1-Uh round hud been s|>cnt in
a few harmless clinches and counters,
Fit/sinunoiis made a fake lead with his
right for the jaw. It was a simple ruse,
but it caught the California!! napping.
IiiMt'jui ot Keeping ins ixMiy inclined u?ward
and throwing hack his head just a
trille to allow the hlow, which was of
the very lightest kind, to slip by, Corbet t
contemptuously Inait his head and chest
Uickward and thus protruded his alidolncn.
Titzsiiiimons' small eye hashed
like lightning; he saw and availed himself
of his advantage. Drawing Uiek his
left he brought it up with terrible force,
the forearm rigid and at right angles to
the upiHT arm. With the full power of
his wonderful driving muscles brought
into play, the Australian fairly ripi?od
the blow up the pit of Corliett's stomach
at a point just under the heart. Corliett
was lifted clean oil' his feet, and as he
j fell he pitched forward, Fit/siini
not is shot his right up and around,
catching dim on the jaw and accelerating
his d nvnward fall. Corbett sink on his
left knee and with his outstretched right
grasped the ropes lor support. His left
arm worked convulsively up and down
while his face was twitching with an expression
of the greatest agony, ltcferce
sjler threw up his hands on the call of
ten and left the ring. Then' were sonic
cries of foul, when the referee declared
Corbett out, but they were unheeded by
anyliody, as the battle was won fairly
| and sijuarcly.
The defeat nearly drove Corliett wild,
When he was able to feel himself after
his seconds had helped him to a corner,
lie broke away from tlieni and rushed
at Tit/siininoiis who had not left the ring.
A scene of dreadful confusion ensued.
The ring was crowded with an excited
mob, but Corbet I burst through and
struck at Kitzsiminons. The Australian
kept his arms by his sides and with a
great deal of geuerositv made allowance
for C'orlH'tt'.s half demented condition.
Hob merely ducked under the blow and
when t'oiln'tt elinclu*d with him and
.struck him ;i feeble blow oil the ear, the
champion only smiled. It was with great
dit!iciiU\ that lhlly llrady and the seconds
sueeeedcil in quieting Corbet t down
and getting him hack to the dressing
roi >m.
The light was clean and speedy. It
demonstrated two facts?that Corbet t is
the cleverest bo\er of his Weight in tip)
world, and that b'it/.simiimus is able to
| hit him. The California bov smothered
the Cornishinan with left jabs in the face
| and right and lelL liedy hluws, l'itz's
most etfeelive attack was a semi-lake
left swing, followed with a quick half
aim hook. The lirst time he tried it,
wlsieh was in I lie third round, dim threw
hack l;i-> head from the fake, coming forward
for a counter, when lie thought
ril/simmons' g!o\ : \\as comfortably
I Kissed hi> jaw. <v>uiek as a llash Hob
doubled back and barely missed dim's
jaw with tlie hook. Corhett\s smile died
awa\ for an instant and he took no more
eltanci s i,>n countering on that particular
form of lead afterwards. The battle, as
predicted, was fought on purely scientific
and almost new principles. Neither of
the men look any advantages of the privileges
allowed them under the London
prize ring rules, and there was little
lulling in flinches. < orljett made no at.

knocked out Corljett was as follows, condensed
: Corbett missed the opening
lead with his right, Fit/simuions continued
stifHv with his right on the head.
Fit/simmons seemed to have more jiower
than ever liehind his blows. Corbett
hooked his left on the jaw, but Fitzsimmons
retaliate*! with a heavy right on
the same spot and they clinched. Breaking
clear Fit/, made a fake lead, with his
right and instead of Corbett keeping his
Ixxly rigid and throwing his head lock
as was his usual custom, be uinterest hutted
his op|H)iiciit cunning, contemptuously
threw back his head and chest thus throwing
his stomach forward which the Australian
at once saw and taking advantage
of it. and with his left with,
lightning-like speed |>oked it into the pit
of .liin's stomach a little tinder the heart
which laid him low.
COUPON CONTEST.
Owing to the absence of one of the
managers of Till-: Timfs in Columbia
during the week, the coti|H>n contest
expected to lie produced in Till-: Timks
of this work, is again |tost|toned until
tlio next issue. We regret the |?ostponement
hut under the circumstances it
can't lie remedied now. We willcertainlv
bring it out next week, and watch, the
prize will be something hotly contested
