GEORGlA— Richmond County. State of Geokcha w. Ciiabi.es Evans, Principal in the Second Degree to Murder. Evidence taken in the above elated case upon the preliminary examination before Justices Phinizy and Reynolds, at the City Hall -examination commencing August 161 b, 1808. i FOR THE STATE. De. DeSaussube Ford, sworn, I am a surgeon and practising physician; lam acquainted with Air. Red—he is dead ; there was a .poet mortem examination of the body; it was conducted by Drs. Hatton and Campbell and myself; during part of the examination there were present Drs. Bignon and my father; 1 did all the cutting; I found wounds upon the deceased necessarily mortal- the ball which entered the upper part of the chest went first inward, tlien downward, and then obliquely backward, passed th rough the right lung and liver, and was lost in the cavity of the abdomen ; the hall was not found; the left arm was broken; the bull was found near the frac ture. (Here a ball was submitted to the court.) J. recognize that as tlie ball found in the aim of AD. Red; the wound through the abdomen entered the left side of the body, off the backbone; the track of the ball was - traced through, a little upward, made a hole through the body; that ball was lost; there was another ball in the left side which passed through the left thigh in front of the bone; the wound was such as would have probably thrown most of men—that it Is not improb able that Red might have kept up, knowing his activity; deceased died in this county and State; I notice* 1 a bruise below the right elbow, and one on the right eye, which was very much colored by powder.' cross-examined by defence. The ball which entered the breast went obliquely inward from the surface, jiassed down tlirough the cavity of the thortfa; it is an established fact that the slightest cause will make a ball deviate; the course of a ball furnishes unsatisfactory evidence of the position of a party from whence the ball was propelled; the ball passed from the left side of the left leg, right straight tlirough; it passed slightly upward; there was a gun shot wound through the abdomen, entering the left side about three inches above the crest of the illium, ranging obliquely down ward and forwards, passing through the body of the second lumber vertebrae, and the wound of exit was in the right side, near to the crest of the illium, a little more anterior to the wound of entrance; I know nothing of the administration of chloroform; there was a jxiwder stain on the face; I am not able to tell the direction in which the pistol was held; in my opinion the deceased was not in an erect position when he received the mortal wound; lie might have been either lying or sitting and the ball would have taken that course; he might have received such a wound standing if the pistol had been turned down; I know Mr. Dillon; 1 know Mr. Evans when I see him; if the parties had been three feet from each other, the ball could not have taken the direction that it did if the deceased had been erect; the deceased could have received the wound in the chest, while he was cither standing, sitting or lying down; if he was leaning forward to give a blow, he might have received it; if a man had been above him it would have ranged backward if it had com# direct. DR. JOSEPH HATTON SWORN—BY THE STATE. I was one of the attending Physicians of the deceased; 1 attended the pout mortem exannhation ; I have heard the testimony of Dr. Ford; it is my opinion that deceased could have received the wound in a sitting or flex position; if ho was in an erect posi tion a shot from an upstairs window or a tree might have taken the samecoursc; if he was sitting or lying on the ground he could have received the wound. In my opinion he was in a flex or rising position; in my opin ion that was the way in which the wound was received; he might have received the wound with his body flex, whether his arm was extended or not. 1 remember deceased informing me that he had a sore hand several weeks before this affair; I did not see any thing in his hand at the poet mortem examina tion. The wound in the breast was neces sarily mortal; I pulled his gloves off in pre paring him for the post mortem examination, and did not observe any wound on his hand. • DR. 11. F. CAMPBELL SWORN —BY THE STATE. lam a Physician, attended Dillon on the night of the difficulty; could not well re member the night; heard shooting corres ponding with other evidence, lasted fifteen or twenty minutes; Dillon came .to me ap pearontly supported by two persons, Stalling/ and Evans (recognizes Evans in Court Room); thinks Stallings is keeper of Bridge; remember seeing Stallings with his father, do not remember first name; Dillon stated to me that he was shot by Mr. Red; while ex-' atnining his wound he said he had shot Mr. Red; he stated that he had shot him twice; one shot was after Mr. Red was down, after he had fallen at any rate; called my attention to an injury on his finger and to powder rnarkgj which he said was fired by Red. I think it was on the night of the accident that he said he had shot Mr. Red after he had fallen. He accused Mr. Lewis Picquet of lieingtbe cause pf the difficulty. His feel ings seemed to be against Mr. Picquet for having caused the difficulty; I did not know there was any ill feeling between them. In my opinion, judging from the wound, Red might have received such a wound lying or slitting, but coukl not have received the liall lying, unless the parties were stooping in the same level. CROSS EXAMINATION—BY THE DEFENCE. Dillon said that he regretted that the diffi culty should have been caused by a difficulty with Picquet. He said that he went to ask for a Physician for those men. He said inquiries, go to the others. Dillon said that immediately after the shoot ing ceased, he crossed the street and aslcyd that physicians be sent to the other men. Up° n being asked if he was shot, he said, Yes, but I am standing; go to the other Tk n Tm eV ' lee d ’ t D,ore l " an I Ho.”— tr , ® cu by occurred between the Globo Hotel and Schneider's, on that corner. I am not definite as to conversation ; do not pay attention to the Conversation of patients under these circumstances. He based the impression formed in his mind from these facts: That Dillon had done what he did in self-defence, and that he was wounded by Red before he (Dillon) shot; the wounded man might have received the- bail making the track described lying down, but the man who shot must have been stooping—not much deflexion. A tnan standing on a platform, and another ascending, the liall might take the same course. |t » mau was getting up and coming towards a man shoot ing, he might have received a ball in the place Stated. Dillon received two wOundsin the body, one on right side of abdomen, in front about three and a half inches from navel this was a heavy contusion, but ball did not enter. The other ball entered en left side of spine, passed aefoss the body, deeply, and ball was cut from under skin, on right side nearly opposite; there wns'tt slight indura tion on his hip observed, two or three days after attending him; it was not danger ous, and was probably produced by a blow. Dillon said that he was afraid that he was mortally wounded: he thought that the ball which struck in front was the one found*—believed found; front one did not go through; found (other led! first. 1 observed marks of powder on Dillon’s coat, ttnd also thti bole of the ball and a'scorch; it was on the.left side that the ball entered. REBUTTAL BY STATE. Do not remember-any abuse used ; Dillon was very angry towards Picquet; fie spoke decidedly against Mr. Picquet as being the cause of the difficulty; don't thiirk he eursed; he took Mr. Red’s pitffol; 1 think he Inul ii then; it was a single barrel one; he said it was Red’s —a Derringer single-barreled; don’t remember of Dillon's speakiug'of bor rowing a pistol. 8U K REB VTJ A L #Y D lira S CE. The bail was a bright one—was One which would about fit a Derringer pistol, or the pistol he had seen ; 1 suppose iliat it would fit calibre of a large sized Colt's.. repeater. (Here a ball was exhibited). This fe, 1 1 think, the ball; it was bright as if just moulded; the change of color witroji has taken plaice has been proliably caGsed by being carried in the pocket; as far as I call identify any ball, this is the one. (Dr. Campbell was requested to keep the ball). Do not think any one could be entirely pom live as to the identity of a ball. Thi- has remained out of my possession from thfi time of the occurrence until now. I state that the ball was out of my possession from the time of the affair until now, although it has changed, as all balls will. JOHN A. DQHLKII SWORN. The day after the shooting 1 visited Red ; • he was conscious that he was jjWiig to die very soon ; I called his attentinb particularly to this fact; Phillip Malone accompanid me; several others; say seven or eight, were present ; I proposed to take his statement in writing—he refused ; his answers were short; he was in great pain ; declined going into any lengthy statement of the matter ; from remarks made by he whs certainly aware that he w;m gbing to die; he.was per fectly consciotis tha t he was going to die ; ,he was as conscious as any oue. could be in his situation I mean being shot to pieces ; the Doctor was administering chloroform to him constantly; h answered in tubes of suffering, and in great pain all the time I was with him ; he cursed and swore occa sionally— not generally at the very time. Question by defence : “ What oaths did he use?” Objected to by prosecution-,and over ruled. When in .sudden paiy Jus wutfld say, ‘ God d—n it f not oftener than I ckpectcd to hear from him ; 1 was not present when the Doctor was there and informed him if his situation ; I was not present at the meet ing between Red and his wife; he occasion ally used the expression given; I expected him to die as he had lived—l mean without fear of God or the -devil; he was as moderate as ever ; I am acquainted with his charac ter, and believe him to be truthful; I would believe him on oath in a Gouri of Justice; his mind was in a stale of sanity ; his state meats to me were very short; he said that he bad* been fired at twice before he eVer fuelthat l;e had b on shot twice alter be was down; he did not stirte who lir.nl at him ; said - “ they,” npt mentioning . any name; he said he wais trying to keep a difficulty from rising ; he was careless as to making statements, and seemed indifferent as to saying anything; at'last he told me not to worry him ; I did not hear all he said; think he said more, that I did not hear; during the day, and al different time; he may have made other statements, which Ido not recollect; I liidieve'lie did make other statements during the day. JOHn T. KINO SWOKX. I was at tlie house of Mr. Red the day after ho Was wounded, between twelve and one o’clock ; 1 was qvreseut when Sir. Buh ler was there ; Mr. mipd was all right, recognized every one ; he said he had no hope of recovery (I reduced what was said to writing); Mr. Bolder afterwards einne in with paper and pen, and requested, in de fence of himself and friends, to state how this thing occurred ; Bolder then.asked for a table, then Red said that he was too sick to give him the whole statement, but went on in broken sentences: ‘1 was trying to keep down the row; I never thought of shooting; they shot me twice, broke my arm,” (Mr. Bolder asked him who shot him, “Dillon and Evans ;” he said. “I shot onoe ; I was shot twice on the -ground.” Question was asked who shot you? “Dillon shot tno on the ground-; Evans said, ‘we have got him, let's kill the d——n son of a bitch Dillon then shut jno, and then he raised his hand to his breast; I was down ; I was trying to make peace ; never thought of shooting. lam too sick, don't bother me.” That was the exact language used by Red, as near as 1 can remember, after going from Red’s housiTto the Constitution alist office ; these were about the same words used by Mr. Red ; that was all; kept straight on through, at long enough intervals to get his breath ; at the end of remarks, said he was too sick, “don’t worry me.” No farther questions were asked him ; 1 remained from one-half to three-quarters of a'n hour; left Mr. Bolder there; I found Mr. Bolder there wheu I’first went there ; beard no cursing; went to see Mr. Red, to take his testimony ; Mr. Bohler asked the questions; 1 am posi tive that I give- just about the words used by' Mr, Red; he identified persons who shot him ; I am as positive of this as anything else 1 have sworu to; 1 am as us I am that I stand before you; I am friendly with Dillon ; I am very much so with Evans; I have called Evami “scalawag;'' he called me “grand pal was uot at ail angry with him; I deny that Mr. Evans called me “noodle-head.” Red was aware that he was going to die; showed no signs or remarks, only from his own remark—that he had to die; there were no questions as to death put to him. I have never fallen out with any man on aceounf of political viesvs; I called him ft “scalawag” for misebiet and to black guard him ; have no unpleasant feelings toward him ; disagreement in [xdtCrvx does not make me disagree os a citizen.

All inventors temporarily bo journing in the metropolis are invited to visit this estalilishmeiu. lu|themajority oi instance no model or drawing of an invention will be pecesatny on tho first interview, as ft mere oral description by the-visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such akuowledge of his invention as will euaiilo Messrs.
