THE wi-i CASE?
TESTIMONY AH COPIED FROM
THE ORIGINAL RECORDS,
By Col. 11. D. D. TWIGGS,
One of the Counsel for the Defence.
[testimony continued,]
CHARLES I’. M’CALLA, SWORN.
1 know nothing of the origin of the diili
culty; I was in my room ovor Grillin’s store,
alxnit 9 o’clock p. m., 1 was attracted to my
window by tend talking; put on my coat anil
repaired to where it proceeded from— Schnei
der’s when I got to the corner the last shot
was tired; firing commenced as I ran out of
my room, my room is about GO or 70 yards
from the scene of difficulty; 1 crossed Ellis
street to reach the scene of disturbance;
don’t think the distance from my room to
scene of fracas will exceed eighty yards;
the noise 1 heard was cursing; did not dis
turb me, was unusual for that time of night;
I went to see what it was.
JOHN n. NEFBLINO, SWORN.
I was present at Red’s house when Mr.
Bolder entered; do not remember seeing
King there—may have been there; no evi
dence was taken in writing in t|ic room; was
present when Bolder asked questions; he
(Red) mentioned no names at that time; did
mention names just before Bolder came in:
Justice Reynolds was present, besides myself
when Bolder interrogated Red; I heard the
conversation between Bolder and Red. testi
fied to by Bolder on this trial; Red suited in
reply to Bolder, that he was trying to make
peace, and they had killed him; had been
shot after he was down; before that Bolder
mentioned his state to him, and suggested
the propriety of making the declarations as
he might or might not die; Red replied that
he be d—d if he did not die; I'heard all his
replies to Bolder; had he mentioned names
would have heard them—he mentioned no
names unless it was after he had said, it was
enough that he was choking; he stud they
had murdered Idm; I have stated everythin"
1 have heard him say; was on the foot of
the bed looking in his face; he may liave
said something that could not be understood
>»y any body; chloroform was constantly
administered to him, as he seemed in great
pain; was also administered when Bolder
began conversation with him.
WILLIAM L. WALTON (COLORED), SWORN.
I was present at the difficulty; was walk
ing down Broad street; heard a policeman
rap and went to the noise; I saw Mr. Dillon
and Evans there; 1 was standing close by 011
the pavement, near Broad street; 1 was about
or near five yards from the parties; I saw
Red run his hand in his pants or pocket and
pull out his pistol and hold it on a level with
his elbow and tire upon Dillon; heard Dillon
“you shot me!” 1 then dissippiiired;
Dillon’s remark to Red was, “you shot me
hey!” and turned upon him; I left because I
was frightened; heard scventl shots after 1
left, Red’s was the first shot I heard; I heard
a noise before I’iequct and Dillon (were) in
conversation; 1 canuot say who made the
noise; I wasalone coming down Broad street
when I heard the rap; I knew no one present
except Red, Dillon and Evans.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
I cannot say who I first told of being
present at the difficulty; told a great many
that.l cannot now remember; Richmond
Allen and Mr. Beatty were two I laid; had
no conversation that night on Ellis street
al»ut what I saw; spoke freely of it after
wards ; did not come to the City Ilall to re
port it; no one from it came to see me about
it, supposed I was subpoenaed because I saw
the difficulty; 1 told Judge Hook what I
Could prove; 1 came to Judge Hook by a
message being sent to me to go Judge Hook;
Mr. Rhodes took my name, but somelaxly
sent for me; cannot say pointedly who
sent after me; don’t know the man person
ally ; don’t know a man by the name of Tur
pin ; know several of the colored witnesses
in this ease; have talked the matter over with
. them; I talked with the other witnesses here
in the yard; it waa on Monday; have not
spoken to any one on to-day or yesterday; I
saw Judge Hook at his office—his office is
over the corner store* at the post office; my
attention was called by the rap of thq police
man; I had no knowledge of a difficulty
then; only went to sec what the pipping
meant; Dillon’s face was pointed to Ellis
street when I first saw him; I did not hear
any person charge Dillon with pointing a
pistol in his face; diil not pay much atten
tion to what was said; did not hear the lie
passed lietween the parties. If Dillon had
called any one a God d—d liar, I would have
heard it, as I was within five yards of him;
my attention was altogether on Mr. Red, and
cannot say any more than 1 have said; I
knew Red was a dangerous man, was the
reason I watched; I did watch him before he
fired; my eye was right on him; I noticed
him before he drew his pistol; I noticed Air.
Red about throe minutes before; I saw him
draw his pistol; Red was standing still before
he pulled his pistol; lam certain he stood
still three minutes before; 1 saw him put his
hand behind him to draw Ids pistol; cannot
say where Red shot Dillon as 1 never saw the
place; I only knew he shot him; Dillon
had his face towards Ellis street when Red
shot him; Dillon turning on him said, “you
shot me hey I” The firing became very rapid.
If I could have heard Dillon call any one else
a God d—d liar, could also have heard him
call the other man a God d—d liar.
REBUTTAL BY THE DEFENSE.
At the time Red fired he was to the right
of Dillon. Witness here explained the posi
tion of the part ies as follows: Picquet’s back
was towards Ellis street; Billon was stand
ing in front of him; Red right behind Dil
lon to the left of him; the place was suffi
ciently lighted for me to see. The lamps
were lighted, as also a light from the bar
room; saw the pistol in Red’s hands; 1 can
not say how many lamps are at the crossing
of Broad street; I cannot say the exact time,
the lamps were all lighted, and that is as far
as I can go.
JAMES JEEFERSON (COLORED,) SWORN.
1 w;is present at the difficulty. I was
going up Ellis street and turned the corner
at the Freedman’s Bank, into Jackson street.
As I got in front of the Globe Hotel, I heard
the police rap twice, and I stopped and
listened at the rapping. A few moments
after the rap, Evans and Dillon walked up
rrom towards Broad street. Evans stoppped
at the carriage—Dillon walked on towards
Picquet. Picquet said to Dillon that he did
not want him to say to him, as he had told a
7 —d—n lie on him once before, a G —<l
n thieving son of a b—h. When I heard
this remark, I thought I would walk over
and see what the matter, but before I could
cross the street, 1 saw Red shoot Dillon in
the left side. When the first fire was made
1 fell back to the other side of Jackson street
again, thinking I might accidentally get
shot. That is all I saw and all 1 know.'
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
At the lime of the difficulty I was working
in the barber shop on the corner of Ellis and
Centre streets—-1 mean 1 worked there in the
day time. The carriage was near Schneider’s
bar room door, aliout five steps from the
gentlemen. Carriage was ulxiut twelve or
fifteen feet from Schneider’s bar room door.
Some of the men were right at the carriage.
Red, when he shot Dillon, was about ten feet
from the back of the carriage; horses’ heads,
were towards Broad street. Cannot say
how near Dillon was to the carriage. When
1 left the barber shop I was on my way up
Broad street. 1 cannot say whether Dillon
or Evans were in front —Evans stopped at
the carriage, Dillon went right on to Picquet.
I have been working in Augusta since the
first year of emancipation. I know Mr.
Thomas Archer. I did not sec him as he
was in the carriage. Ituniwsitive Archer was
in the carriage because I heard Red speak to
him in the carriage as Tom Archer. lam in
delicate health always wua, I 'cannot say
who else was in the carriage. I was not be
hind the carriage. 1 cannot describe the
cairiagc nor horses. It was not an omnibus.
I know nu omnibus from a carriage. 1 did
not notice all aliout the little things of the
carriage. 1 never drove u carriage. I did not
notice the carriage imd did not know whether
it was a carriage or a phieton. The carriage
moved off at the shooting—went towards
Broad street. Cannot say whether they were
wffitc or black horses in the carriage. 1
could not sec anybody in the carriage but the
driver. The heiiils of the horses were turned
towards Broad street, and the carriage moved
oil in that direction'. I si«>kc of this case at
the Market. Have told (Judge) Hook what
I knew about the case, but no one else.
Never spoke to the police about it or to the
other witnesses about it particularly. 1 was
not sitting at the corner of Centre and Ellis
streets nt or shortly after the shooting, nor
did any one come along and tell me about it.
I carried Johnson’s wife to her mother’s.
1 left her there. Her mother lives on Ellis
street, near Bill Hale’s. I sleep in “Shake
Rag.” After leaving Johnson’s wife at her
mother’s, I was going on up town to sec a
lady. 1 left the shop open when I left.
Cannot say when it was closed. Did not go
back there that night after I left. I saw one
other shot after Red shot. Don’t know who
fired it. Saw a man come out of Schneider’s
in his shirtsleeves, with ligld pants on. Don’t
know who it was. Don’t know Mr. Alex
ander Phillip. 1 know Mr. Jacob Sanchin
and Jesse Turpin—they both know inc. They
were not with me on that night, but when I
went up town and came back from seeing the
lady, I saw Mr. Sanchin and Turpin sitting
before Sanchin’s bar room. 1 said 1 did not
go back to the shop but did go by it. The
barber shop in which I work is in tlx: same
building back of the bar room. 1 did not
talk with them.' ,
JOE BUTLER, (COLORED,) SWORN.
I was going up Broad street and heard a
fuss. Went on the opposite side, towards
the bar room of Mr. Schneider. Was on the
opposite side of Jackson street at Globe
Hotel. 1 stood there for a few moments
when the rash talking commenced. 1 walked
across the street to about 5 steps from them. 1
saw Mr. Dillon walk up to Pitequet, Could not
say what the words were he said to Picquet.
Red was standing on the left hand side,
mostly to the back of Dillon ; when Dillon
was talking to Piquet Red walked up;
touching him and struck him with his left
hand on the left jaw ; with Red’s right foot
in front, threw his left foot back and shot
him : Dillon clapped his hands to his side
and made to Red, clamped him and throw
him, by that time I got away; I did not
see Dillon shoot before he clamped Red ;
that (Red's) was the first shot fired ; Red
held bis pistol on a level with his.elbow.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
I have not in particular talked over the
matter with the witnesses; have talked witli
no one who said he was present; what I
said I have told since 1 have been here ; I
have spoken to some parties about it; to
•Judges Hook and McLaws, a gentleman
outside the door, and to several policemen ;
I commenced the conversation with flic
policemen ; they asked me if 1 was here as
a witness, 1 said, yes ; the conversation then
continued for a few minutes; 1 spoke to
some colored hoys : Bill Johnson was one,
Dick McKinnic the other ; was not intimate
with Johnson qr McKinnic ; was frequently
with McKinnic. but seldom with Jifonson ;
1 have not been to see Dillon since he was
wounded ; have not been to the City Hall;
cannot say who reportej me as a witness;
don’t know whether or not it was a police
man ; I did not see the axnniencomcnt or
ending of the difficulty ; I came from the
piazza into this room : was asleep;
saw a carriage there that night (meaning at
Schneider’s); it was black p was an often
one, as far as 1 know ; top was down, I <li-,-
covcred ; had no top in front, ns I dis
covered; hild but one--that was up- the
back one; was a plitetOn; had four scats ;
driver’s was a “ Dickey" seat, and four
seats inside ; a “ Dickey” seat is higher and
is the drivet's seal; the heads of the horses
were turned towards Broad street; the car
riage, wheu it left, went towards Broad
street; lam positive that the carriage went
to Broad street; cannot say wno win
in the carriage ; there was one man in the
carriage ; cannot say whether he was large
or small; I know that it was a man in
there; was a man in size—cannot say
whether he was larger *or smaller than
myself; lam positive, as far as I saw, that
there was but One man in the carriage
besides the driver; know Mr. Thos. Archer;
he is much larger than I am; don’t know
whether or not it was him in the carriage;
don’t know Mr. Samuel Rowland. The
horses in the carriage were mostly bays;
knew they were uot black or while; the
majority of horses are bays ; this is uot the
cause of my thinking these horses bay ones ;
the fuss attracted mo to the place of tho
difficulty, the noise of the men talking
principally ; don’t live close by ; was on the
Globe corner when I first heard the noise ;
on my way up Broad street, saw several men
at Volger’s cigar store; may have been
mores my attention was towards the fuss:
canuot say ns to the attention of
the other men. 1 was in the street when I
saw Red shoot Dillon, outside of the side
walk some five or six. steps. Saw the car
riage, with the horses’ heads towards Broad
street. Red was mostly behind the carriage,
when he shot Dillon; mostly on the side of
the carriage wheu he shot; saw Red shoot
Dillon mostly from behind him; canuot say
where he shot him ; put his hand upon his
side ; leaned that way, as if he was hurt;
did not hear Dillon say he was hurt. I was
standing mostly in front of Schneider’s bar
rbom, towards the Globe Hotel; Schneider's
bar-room was lighted up as usual, with light
in front; canuot say whether a light could
be seen from the inaide of the door y did not
notice the lights particularly ; there are win
dows to the bar-room : cannot say as to
whether they give light outside ; frequently
pass by the place, mostly up Broad street;
did not recognize any lamps on the corner;
paid no attention to them ; the light from the
corner lamp is not sufficient to have seen
AUGUSTA, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1868.
Red shoot Dillon, to swear to, from that dis
tance ; saw tho shooting by Schneider’s
lamp; the moon was idso shining ; the moou
was giving a very lovely light at the time of
the difficulty ; it was as bright before and
after as it was at tho time; the moou was
s'uitritig very bright at tho time Red shot
Dillon ; I mean by a lovely light sufficient to
see anything for a distance by tho moon. 1
I sa v no one else there ; my attention was
oh the fuss; I knew Mr. Picquet; also
Archer, before he got in the carriage; 1 won’t
swear he got in the carriage ; I swear he got
away at the time the carriage did, because
the carriage was his, and he got away from
there mighty qiiickg I said the carriage was
Archer's ; I know it has beefi Archer's car
riage, because it was at his stable when I went
there after carriages; 1 had seen it at his
stable before, and knew it well; did not know
the horses well. The lamps at the corner did
not furnish light enough to have seen Red
shoot Dillon. It was Bill Johnson 1 had the
conversation with ; don’t know his occupa
tion.
REBUTTAL BY THE DEFENSE.
The fuss that attracted my attention was
the cursing of the gentlemen, the language
was vulgar. * * * (The language being
too vulgar and indecent for publication, has
been omitted.—Ed.] Iso understood it; this
is all the vulgar language 1 heard.
SURREBUTTAL BY THE STATE.
I heard this language about five minutes
before the shooting; cannot swear who made
use of it; may have been a policeman, Can
not say who it was; Dillon was not there at
this time that 1 saw; heard some one ask
them to hush as it was violating the law;
the parties were on the pavement near the
carriage as they came out of thu door.
JAMES H. BHACKEI.FORK, SWORN.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock 1 was walking on
the street by the Theatre Hall; inn a ponce
man, and was on duty at that place, and
heard rapping, and went to it immediately ;
wheu I got there I found Dillon and Evans
and several others in a row; Dillon and
Picquet were quarreling very much, and
trying to get to each other ; Dillon said, this
fuss must ho stopped; Picquet was abusing
him in a high rate of corrupt language,
calling him Bar, etc.; Dillon said to him;
you inns' not say that any more ; Picquet
then called him a d n liar; Dillon sail
to him: you are a liar yourself, and a
d -d one; I next walked around the
crowd and told the men to stop tho riot, as
it whs not right; I then stopped off from
the huddle, my back being toward Schnei
der’s wall: to my left there <as a report of
a gun or pistol; Red was standing there
and fired in the direction of Dillon ; stepped
oft’a little, being a little excited, when the
firing commenced ; Mr. Red was whore the
firing ealne from ; seemed to fire in the di
rection of Dillon ; Picquet was also there ;
tho tiring, after tho first, was very rapid ;
saw no more till the tiring was over ; the
moonlight was indislinct, and we in the
shade of the hqusc,
. CROSS EXAMINATION.

quet stood* in front of Dillon ; 1 was not
side of the building but on the pavement,
the parties were part on the street and part
on the pavement; Dillon was on the pave
ment and Picquet on the street; caunoi
say that Picquet was the only one on
the street, 1 was on the sidewalk;
think there were others on the street
besides Picquet, .but don’t know who;
I am positive that Dillon was on the side
walk ; did not see Red after the first time;
Rod was on my left, on the sidewalk, just
before the firing began ; Red was very close
to me, caiuior tell the exact distance; 1 was
not to the side of Dillon, but to the rear of
him, a little to the right side; Dillon was only
a few feet from me at this lime; by a few feet
I mean two feel; I do uot say that Red was
between Dillon and myself; Red seemed
behind Dillon ; 1 saw other policemen there
besides Dillon and Evans ; saw Ile/gs and
O'Shanucsy; did uot see auy policeman
attempt to arrest any other person than Mr.
Louis Picquet; did not see the whole of it;
remained nt the scene; saw no other vio
lence used on that occasion, except the shot
of Red ; don’t know whether Red hit any
person when he tired; did not ace Alex
ander Phillip there that night, that I recog
nnied him; don’t know who carried either
Red or Phillip off; was sent to the court
house for the police, who were sleeping at
the Hall; got them; don't know their
number; may have been half a dozen or
more ; was very little excited; (he police
men went up to Schneider's and I went to
the market to get other policemen ; no ne
cessity for nmie ; I was obeying thv. orders
of the Chief in coming after them; 1 saw
necessity for them at and before The shoot
ing began, to ipiell.the disturbance ; don't
know anything that occurred before the
rapping; no violence was offered the police
except in calling them scalawags by Mr.
Picquet; no other was threatened that I know
of; Picquet called the policemen damned
scalawags; a few moments before the report of
the pistol; lam positive of it; 1 do not know
the name of the policeman addressed by
Picquet as a scalawag ; 1 took it for the po
lice ;he said you d—d scalawag ; 1 went
immediately upon being ordered : the tiring
commenced wuiie I wao predent; the tiring
was commenced and over when 1 was sent
for.the other police; I (im positive that the
firing was over before I was sent for the
other police.
WILLIAM JOHNSON (COLORKD), SWORN.
I was the driver of the carriage on the
night of the 27tb. Mr. Archer ((nd Mr.
Rowlaud were in the carriage ; saw the fuss
when it was commenced , they were all in
the bar-room drinking—Mr. Bed, Picquet,
Archer and Rowland ; the others I dm not
know. Archer came out talking blackguard
for abuut ten minutes, and whilst he was
talking was very near the carriage; I asked
Mr. Rowland to put him in for me; he was
bragging about— * * * [the language
being too vulgar and indecent'for publica
tion, has been omitted—Eu.J hollowed it
out three or four times; the watchman told
him he wanted the fuss stopped ; as soon as
he heard the policeman, Archer stopped, and
got somebody to put him in the carriage—
Rowland, I think ; as soon as he got in, Red
came up and asked him where he was
going to ride; Archer replied, there Js a
buggv around the corner ; Red then started
for the carriage and laid a bottle of whiskey
on the front seat.and started off; got near
the policeman and told him, “sonny, yau go
across the street and attend to your busi
ness; I thought him a little boy from the
way in which he (Red) talked, but he would
not go; the policeman told him that
it was his duty to stop this fwss, and that
be was attending to his business there ; Red
told him to go and report the case; police
man then rapped on the sidewalk; he stopped
rapping a short time and began again, aide
of the noose; a few minutes after the last
rap, Dillon and Evans came up; was only
there a minute or two, when I heard Picquet
say, “Dillon, G—d d—n you, you came right
up here and put a pistol iu.my face 1” Dillon
disputed it; they kept jawing, and after
wards started to fight; Picquet told Dillon
if he would give bin an equal chance that
he would fight him, and came to the carriage
and asked Archer fora pistol; they then left
the carriage and went near to the house. Red
was standing with about half of his back to
me, and Dillou with about half bis back to
Red ; when Dillon would move, Red would
inch behind him : Dillon turned to go up to
Picquet, and Red fired at him ; that is all I
know about it; this was the first tire ; saw
all I have stated from my seat in the car
riage ; I left because tho horses became
frightened, and I drove off; I drove straight
from Schneider’s to the eoruet-of Ellis street
and turned down ; tho hojids of the horses
were turned towards 'Ellis street while before
the door; did not turn the carriage until in
front of Pouriiello's stable, and then to the
door.
In answer to question by the Court—Pic
quet did not gel a pistol from the carriage ;
Archer told him he did not have as much as
a pocket-knife; he then left the carriage.
CROSH-EXAMINATtON.
1 had a good look at Archer; he was drunk;
never saw him drunk before; it was after
the policeman came up, that Archer was put
in the carriage. He tried to jump out. but I
rc<[nested Rowland to hold him in there as
he was drank. No one was in the carriage
al any time to my recollection but Archer
and Rowland. Picquet put his crutch in
the carriage but did not get in. Don’t re
collect Picquet calling to Archer to get in.
Rowland put Arcluir in the carriage first and
then got in himself. Archer got in before I
drove oft’. He was sitting in the carriage all.
the time Picquet and Difton were quarrelling.
Archer was on the ground when the police
man came up; also when Dillon and Evans
camo up. Cannot say whether it was a
bright night at the time or not. (Moon) was
shining when 1 got home. A light came
from the liar kmu door. I saw the sJmoting
by the bar room light; also, a light froiii
across the street. 1 liave talked with a great
many about Uris difficulty. Conway, 1 leggie
and Archer were among them. ’ 1 know
Thomas Welch. 1 Imd a talk with him alxnit
this case. Told him Red shot. Had no
ot’iu conversation with him. I told Welch
that Red was a murdered man. Expressed
my opinion because he was shot after he was
down as 1 was told. 1 did not tell Mr.
Welch that Red was shot first that night. It
was at Archer’s stable I talked witli Welch
Suiidav niglffif I saw no one else present at
the diliicultyTluui the persons I have named.
JUSTICE BEYNOLDS, SWORN.
The day subsn|ucnt to the shooting of
Red, 1 went to Jus house. When I got in
there, I didn’t know whether Bohler was
present when I entered or not, Saw him
a short while after I entered; also a
number of others; Bohler was inquiring
for paper, stating that he desired to take
Red’s dying declaration; asked tno for
paper, pen and ink ; 1 crossed the street to
Bennett A Thurman’s store to get paper,
pen and ink; then I returned to Red’s;
met Bolder—had got them (pen and ink)
in the house ; I was standing at the foot of
the bed, with Ncibling, looking in the face
of Red : he was bolstered up in tho middle
of the bed. being nqar to where wc wore
standing; Bohler and other friouds occupied
tho side of the bed : Bolder approached
Red in these terms: Neal, some of your
friends desire to take your declarations in
relation to this affray ; said lie," you u»j or
may not die. Red said : I d flpif 1
don’t die ; the remark sb<K*ku<f me, ciMnhig
from a man so near death ; questions were
asked him, but don't know the order;
Bohler asked him as to the way he was
wounded ; Red replied that they had mur
dered him ; heard no names mentioned;
think I would have heard him had he
named any person ; my hearing is ordina
rily good ; my feelings were so shocked at
his profanity that 1 may, not have paid as
particular attention, as I might otherwise,
to the question asked ; he spoke quite in
coherently ; soon afterwards Bohler and
myself left the roam : met him a very short
time afterward at Bennett & Thurman’s
store, I here, remarked to him that Red
Was'not in a proper state of mind to mike
a declaration ; in this Bohler agreed with
me; I heard no other remark (than) what
1 have stated ; 1 think that the reading of
King’s etatementwould require a longer time
than was taken by us at his bed-side; I
heard no .such statement ns “We have got
the d- d son of a b -h, let us kill him,”
to my recollection; think 1 would have
lieanl it had it been said ; occupied about
fiveminnl'-s; chloroform was administered
to him white I was present.
C KQSS-KX A MIN ATI ON.
The remark above to Mr. King may have
been made before or after the conversation
alluded to, and I not heard them; the con
versation of which I testily was about the
middle of the day.

I Messrs BROWN, UOOMBS & (JO., Proprie
I tors of tho AMERICAN ARTISAN, otter their
t best services to inventor/, ns Solicitors ofAmeri
, can mid Foreign Patents. Mr, Henry T. Bbown,
‘ of this firm, has hud more titan twenty-two years'
’ experience in that prefessiou, both In tide country
J and Europe, and his long practice has made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. Tho applicutioos for tbe
patents upon many of the greater and more itn-
• portaut inventions of the present century liave been
i prepared by him. Messrs. Bkown, Coombs A. Co.,
are thoroughly familiar will: all the rules and te-
g illations instituted for the rapid transaction of
mducss with the United Slates’Patent Office, and
’ the genet al practice in tbe I’ateut Bureaus of van
" ous European countries; and this knowledge ren
l ders them confident that their post experience, with
I their present unequalod facilities, enables them to
l elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments rw|uired by law in applications for patents,
. and to promise tlieir clients «» absolute certainly
oftuccess’m tlieiijefforte tooblain|l.etterHjPjitcntfor
1 inventions that aie really new and useful. Parti
enlar care is given to tbe execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
I application for a patent, and they employ none but
the mostefficieutdraughtsßieu. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown, Coombs
A.. Co.’s business is performed, is, tlmt tbe “An eh
icah-Artisan Patent Auency," during the three
years of its existence, has been the most snccessful
' institution of the kind ever CHtabliehed.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coombs
&. Co. are situated atlßt) Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers,lnasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from the City Hall. AU inventors tenqxsraiily so
journing in the metropolis are invited to visit this
esteblishment. I nfthemajortty of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ontinarily suffice to convey such
•knowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs &. Co. to definitely determine
whethera machine or process is new or old—paten
table or not. The office hours are from Ilin,
to 5-e. M.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs &. Co. are prepared to
furnish to |iorso«a residing ala distance from New
y ( ,rk—free of charge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any paten
table novelty; to do thia they simply Seuuire a
sketch or rough model of the machine oiQith er in
vention that in supposed to be new, togeffier with
a brief description of the same, and as sq»n as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best adviog is mail
ed to the person desiring the iufoi matiffuA' .These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if an inventor desires to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea lias ever
in a machine or process already patented, hiUMiest
course will be to have a preliminary
made at the United States Patent office by
Buown, Coombs & Co,, who will make a special
neai clijnnong all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention «[c
der exiuulnation. For this'labor the stafiil fee of
|5 is payable in advance; ami the lemittaiice
should be accompanied by a sketch of the niveatloa
and a few lines of writing describing itie same,
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by letters
Patent '•
Patents for new and useful inventions arc now
granted for tile ternxjof seventeen years. The
first instalment oljhc Government fee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
ch> the powei'-ol attorney—is payable lUapdcNnce,
on Hpplving for the pulcnli; and IfilffiaMMimiul are
due to the Government when t he are
allowed. The Agency fee is from |25 upward, ae
; cording to the labor involved; but tn all cases our
charges will be as moderate as poseible in tho pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is ready to bu sent
to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs & Co.
have a branch in Washington so that all applicH
tious made through them can liave every necessary
attention in tlieir passage through the Patent Office.
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of tlieir machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of tho Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical compos!
lion, samples of all tbe ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked witli the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
i express, prepaid), together with the first instatmen
oftheGovernmentfee, to Messrs Brown, Coombs
A. Co. When the model is small and light, it can
' be conveniently and clteaply sentby mail. The
model must not exceed one foot in any ofitsdimens
l ions, unless it is of such a character that it is itn
[ practicable.
. Palente, except those for designs, are granted
, on eqnaltterms to citizens and all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of the
! British American Provinces.
; Besides patents or new and uselu, inventions,
i lime are also granted patents for designs.
Design patents are not now. us formerly, limited
stiictly to ornamental configuratiou ; but. under
Section It of the Act of March 2,1861, any new
/oi-Mofaiiy article, erany impression or ftynre upon
tire sui Ihvo of iMiy artiote or material, (jy whatever
means or precess produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten -
sion of their respective patents for the term of seven
years from the day ou which said patents shall ex
pire, upon the same termsand restrictions as are
now proviiled for the extensions of IjetterS Patent.
Among the numerous subjects foi putonte of this
class may be particularly mentioned—castings of
all metals, paits of machines, household furniture
and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
cornices, and other interior and exterior decorations
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, hnd hiir
ness-labels and trade marks for medicines, per
fumery, and alt preparations, comporitious, or
mercliaHilite, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms of
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and
envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary,
busts,‘compositions in alto or basso relievo. The
Government fee on a design-patent for years is
llOtf years, |ls; 14 years, s3(l. No models’of]
aesigtiß are required: but dujiiicate uiuwiugo »r
photographs must be furnished- The spoeiticat'on
to accompany the drawings or pliotogranhs re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs <fc Co. give very particular at
tention to fliis branch of their business. Their
charge for preparing applications for design-patents
is generally about sls. Design pal elite are only
granted to American citizensorjo aliens who iurve
resided one year in the United States and made
oath of their Intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Mears. BkowN, Coombs A Co
for obtaining patents in tbe various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
other in the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown lias bad the prepara
tion of more European applications tliau any
otbei person in this country, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs A’. Co., besides having a branch ofice in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent laxsiness will be furnished free
ou application personally or by mail.
Messrs. Brown, C( . Mbs & Co. also attend Io in
terferences, tho extensions of expiring letters.
I’atant, and alt proceedings relatmg to patents be

ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILL EE.
o——— ,L’ i .
Read the following letter from
. K®v. R. Telford, Missionary in, China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., Jnno2s, 1866.
Mestre. Perry Davie A Son, Providence, R. 1. :
Dear Sira —During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, Ffound
your vegetable Pain Killer a moot valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, tho Cholera.
In administering tbe medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful of tho same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear und rub tbe limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in tbe way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with DiarrbmA, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay tbe uite of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Pried,‘3s
cents, 50 rente, and $1 per bottle.
Manhatvin, Kansas, April 17,1866.
Gentlemen — * * * I want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider ft a very
valuable medicine, and always keen it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never wfthotit taking it with me.
In my praclice I used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, aud with better success than auy
other medicine; I also used it here for cholera iu
1855, with tile salnu good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swath, China.
Chelcia! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearfttl
extent. For the last three weeks, from fen to
fifty or sixty fatal eases each, day has been re
ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, Bent
recently horn the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in clieck
iog the disease.
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG,
Bhofapore, India.
[From the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, and uuy medicine that is
every where acceptable, aud that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seeu, heard, and experienced, we believ» Pavia'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of usingit, we quote from the directions:
“Forcommon bowel oomplainte.give one tea
qioonful iu a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose
toe children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe flie bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment ie good in caees of
the cludera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“Ti»e quickest way I ever saw (he dyneutei-y
cured was by taking one spoonful of lliq Pain
Killer in one gill of milk and molasses stirred
well together and drank hot. at the same time
balliiug the (rowels freely with mediciue. Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason re fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use us occasion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved. d jell)—2ni
