My name is Joel Henderson Allen; I have
lived here going on three years; I came from
eight miles south of this; mj father’s name is
Henderson Allen. He is eight or nine miles
south of here. I am married; have been
married fonr years; I married the daughter
of widow White, and the sister of Joe White;
I live in J. J. Green’s house, next to Tom
Phillips’. There are two lots between Phil
lips and myself. I have known John Hooper
two or three years by sight; I got acquainted
with him last year; 1 am a carpenter; I have
worked with several parties—Terrell, Perry
and others; I am a journeyman workman,
not a contractor. I had an introduction to
Hooper last year at Dunbar's ; don’t

To the witness—Do you know now what

Mr. Witness, don’t you know’ that you
swore a short time since, “before the Holy

CROSS-EXAMINATION.
J have not known John Hooper intimately;;
I have been acquainted with the family a long
time: I have never known Johnnie Hooper’s
character brought iu queston; I have lived
here for twelve months; I came indirectly
from Auborn to this pb.ee; I think I know his
general character, as to his morality and peace
fulness, it is good; I have known the stan
ding of Miss Barnett about four years; there
is no family stood higher; I thiok I know her
general character: she has always been re
ceived in the best society; she has two sisters;
her mother is a widow; she has neither
father or hi other; her general character is
good; the Hooper family is also a highly re
spectable family; I do not know whether he
Lad been married or not; I did not see the
knife at the instant it was taken from his
l>ocket: I saw the knife in another man’s
hand: it was open: I was present when Mr.
Edwards was taking the things out of his
pocket; I did not see the knife until
one of the persons put it into
another man’s hand. [The witness was
shown a knife which he says looks like the
knife in question.] The sheriff, or some one
else, told them to examine his pockets; they
did not turn him over to examine them; I
saw them putting their hands into his right
pants pocket, alter some of the things were
taken from his pocket: I was squatting down
near his head when they first examined him;
a ring was drawn around Mr. Phillips by
order of the sheriff, and no one allowed to
approach the body but the jurors and the
physicians; I don’t think it was exceeding
one-half minute from the time they com
menced examining the pockets until I saw
the knife in some one’s hands, open: I was
only partially acquainted with Mr. Phillips;
I think he would weigh about 175 or 180
pounds: he was rather short aud muscular;
I may be mistaken about his size; this is my
estimate.
lie-examined—I am certain this is the
knife; it looks like it: other pockets, I think,
were examined; I can't say that the knife
was taken from the right pocket: the kuite is
a common barlow knife: it has one blade.

yards, more or less, from me when they were
on the railroad; 1 was behind them: 1 don’t
know how fh.r it is from Jack Adams's house
to where they got on the railroad—it may be
half a mile, more or less; I was walking tol
erable peart ; I thought that I would take a
different road from them ; I could have over
taken them ; I did not intend to do so : I
lagged behind 150 yards, more or less ; I did
so intentionally; I did not get nearer than
ISOyards, more or less ; I could not say that
it might not have been ten steps less than 150
yards, it might have been 200 yards, I could
not say ; I don’t know whether it might have
been 200 yards or not ; I lagged behind pur
posely to take a different road from them, had
they taken the railroad, 1 would have kept
the dirt road, had they kept the dirt road I
would have taken the railroad. I did not in
tend to go the same road with them. I passed
them in front of Mr. Adams’s house ; I did
not see them, but beard them talking : it was
in lront of Mr. Adams’s lot ; the dirt road
runs between Mr. Adams’s house and the rail
road; it was not after dark, but thick dusk :
I sometimes leave work between suDset and
dark—nearer sundown than dark ; I suppose
it might have been twenty minutes after sun
down, it might have been more or less ; I do
not know how far the bridge is ’from [Adams’
house, it might have been one-fourth
of a mile, more or less ; I got to
the crossing just before they got
there ; I suppose they were about
ten steps from me; 1 met a man on the
dirt road and talked with him four or five
minutes about the road to Auburn; I looked
down the road and saw them coming: I had
no purpose in looking back: I do not know
whether they saw me or not; they could have
done so; 1 can’t say how far from Adams; 1
met one man on horseback; it was between
Adams’ and the brickyard crossing; I have
never spoken to the lady; 1 know it was the
same lady with Hooper that 1 saw when I
took some provisions to her mothers house
upon one occasion; it was 6ome time during
the summer or full that I carried some pro
visions to the house; I know that I carried
some provisions to the widow Burnett, but did
not know the young lady was her daughter; I
have lived where I now do since last January:
previous to that time near Mullin's Mineral
Spring; did not know that Mrs. Barnett lived
where she does until I carried her the provis
ions; it was summer or fall, it was warm
weather; I carried some meat aud flour and
other things; I placed them in the house; I
heard her aud the widow Barnett talking; did
not understand what was said between them;
they were standing in the door about ten or
12 feet from me; I was that near them: I asked
if I should put the things on the verandah;
she told me to do so, aud turned and went
back to the wagon; I think I did not swear a
while ago “that I had heard the conversation
i between Mrs. Burnett and the girl, but did not
understand what wnssaid:" butl think I swore

from that time until I saw them coming np

previous to this time I heard Mr. Hooper say
to the lady. (The testimony here is unfit for
publication.) This was about all that I heard
at that time. This was in the country about
a half or three quarters of a mile from her
home; they came through the woods right out
through where I was at work; there was no
road nor path. On the night of the election
Mr. Hooper and I was passing; I asked him
the name of the young lady; he replied, “Miss
Barnett,” aud added that the evening he
passed me, (here the testimony is also unfit

I have given the best answer 1 can give ; I

down ; I cannot say whether it was before or
after dusk ; 1 cannot say whether it was before
or after sun up ; it was not before daylight ; I
cannot say how long after daylight it was ; I
did not swear the other day that I stepped oft'
the distance; it was a 116 steps; I don’t recol
lect when It was that I stepped it off; no one
told me not to do so ; no question was raised
as to the distance that I know of ; I just hap
pened to think of it; and that was the way I
came to remember the distance ; no one was
with me ; I don’t recollect whether it was on
Sunday or a week day that I stopped it; I nev
er leave home before breakfast unless some
thing is the matter ; I havo no regular time to
breakfast; when I am at work I have break
fast regularly about sunrise ; I think I was
not at work at that time ; I stepped no other
distance ; none that I know’ of ; I never step
ped it before breakfast ; and I don’t eat break
fast before sun up when I am doing nothing ;
I don’t remember that I was doing anything
at that time ; I could not say whether it was
after sundown or not that I stepped it; I did not
swear whether itwas before sunup or not that I
went with Phillips to the place ; I don’t recol
lect whether I was doing nuvthing or not when
I went with Phillips ; I don’t remember wheth
er it was on a Sabbath or a week day that
I went with Phillips; I havo no best recollec
tion on this point; I think I was cutting some
sticks off of Iloss’ land adjoining Phillips’
when he called me, I can’t say for certain; I
can’t say positively what I was doing, nor
where I was; I think I was behind my honse;
I have no recollection as to how far it was
from where I was to where Phillips called me;
|l have no best recollection as to whether I was
cutting sticks or not; it was after breakfast,
|I am certain; I said I knew that itwas not
before breakfast; Phillips called to me; he

in the garden; he was standing still when I
{got to him; 1 don’t know how tar it is from
where I was when he called me to where he
was; 1 have no best recollection; I have no
idea as to the distance; I am a mechanic; 1
have no opinion as to whether it be more or
le6S than two hundred yards; it could not
have been half a mile; I could not say
whether it was as much as a quarter of a mile
or not: I don’t recollect where 1 was on Mon
day 7th; I don’t recollect where I was on
Tuesday 8th; I don’t recollect where I was on
Wednesday the Oth; I recollect that it was
Sunday the 6th, because I kxew the day of
the mouth; I remember the day of the month
bnt I don’t remember where I am each day of
the month: there was nothing particular to
call my attention to Sunday the 6th of the
month; I don’t recollect where Phillips was
standing wheu he called me; but he met me
at the fence: it was lour or five days or a week
after the 6th of April,J before Phillips aud
I weut to the spot; it was just a spot on
the ground where we went; the spot was
close to his garden fence: not right against it;
I suppose it was three or four feet from the
fence; it was on the side of the garden or
lower corner, not far from tho lower corner,
above the lower corner aud towards the big
road; the corner of bis garden is further from
the road than the spot described; can’t «ay
how many feet to the corner; I never stepped
the distance from the spot to the corner; I
know it was above the corner; it was between
the corner and the public road: in my best
opinion it might hare been four or five steps;
1 started at the corner of Green’s fence when
I stepped the distance to the spot; I have no
idea whether it is one-half acre or one acre
wide, the lot between Phillip’s and where I
live; 1 started from Green’s corner across to
the spot; I was not on the road when Phillips
called me; it was after Phillips called me that
I stepped the distance: my house is about
thirty or forty feet from the fence; my house
is nearer to the road than the spot spoken ot
by Pnillips’ fence; I take two and a half or
three feet at a step; I don't think it was over
three feet to « step; 1 don’t know that I would
lose one-third iu stepping off a straight line
from stepping a diagonal line; I can make no
opinion on this poiut; I don’t think tLe fence
runs an acre deep. It was wider across than it
was deep; I suppose it is an aero across; be

To the Editors of the Hebald:
Newnan, Ga., June 14, 1873.
Your correspondent proposes to give you,
briefly, the case of the affair which took place
here day before yesterday. We give it from
the substance of testimony as brought out on
the preliminary examination.
On the 12th instant a train of cars stopped
near Newnan, at or near “the bridge,” where
there was a water tank and a woodyard. One
of the men (a colored man) was throwing
and the lady, and • wood up to a colored man on the tender of
was the the traiu th« n stopping for wood aud water,
uld j The one on the train as wood passer did not
not have thus sworn unless I thought it to be | “rack up” the wood thrown os rapidly as the
true; I don’t think I would have sworn it uu- | one who was pitching thought right; and in
less I knew it to be true; I know I would : a friendly way said to him (on the tender)
swear the truth to the best of my knowledge; you are the laziest nigger I ever saw”—where-
I know that I would not have sworn it unless
or j I knew it to be true to the best of my knowl
edge; both statements are true to tno best of
my recollection: I did not see the parties
alter they came on the railroad fiom the Au
burn road until they came to the crossing,
which is a half mile, more or less; I have no
idea how long it would take to walk a half
mile; I never noticed particularly the horse or
man; don’t how the man looked, nor the color
of the horse; the man was going toward Au
burn; it was between Adams’house and the
crossing; don’t know which was the nearest;
upon the one so accosted threw a stick of
wood at the one on the “way.” The latter,
in the same friendly spirit said don’t throw
another stick at me—but as the first party
took a large rough stick of wood and hurled
it at the prisoner, the latter “pitched” a
stone (we use the words of Stalis,
witness) at deceased. The stone was a flat
one and would weigh about a pound and
a quarter. The main witness for the prosecu
tion says that he believes the result entirely
unpremeditated; and that tho rock was thrown
without any intention to kill. As we have
I was on the dirt road when I heard the con- j stated, the* rock was a small quasi-granite
versation; I don’t recollect whether I said , stone; and the flat part of the rock struck the
house or not, bnt think I said lot; the lot is 1 deceased (while he had his hands on tho third

was close to the railroad; close to the bank of dropped upon his knees and fell over on his

that I saw no other lady on the road:
I never noticed any further than
