[testimony continued, j REBUTTING TESTIMONY OFFERED BY' TILE STATE. SOLOMON C. WHITE, SWORN. I was in front of Schneider’s on the night of the 37th of July; was there about live minutes before the shooting began; was present when the policeman rapped; Mr. Archer and Red were standing at the tree box; Archer seemed so drunk as to be un able to hold himself up. Red had both arms around him; did not think that there was such a disturbance as would' jusfify the nolicemtm in calling for help. I so told Evans when he came up, Red Svas trying to get Archer in his carriage; saw no resistance or threats of violence towards the policeman at that time. Archer remarked, after the rapping, to the tjiolicemei), wliat are you going to do abirtit it; Red remarked yes, what in the hell live you got to do with it • anyhow, we are going off, take our names and report us; cannot say whether or not they were going off; but Picquet had already gotten in (Carriage) as it stood near by, also the crippled billiard player had gotten in; I know Rowland, did not see him; liad the police not rapped, don’t think there would have been any fuss; saw only Archer drunk. Witness here corrected the above remark by Archer to the policeman. Me addressed him as to what he had to do with it; it was said before he rapped for assistance; the policeman told him that he would show him what he had to do with it, and commenced rapping. I saw Alexander Phillip there that night; come past me and went to the crowd and told them he wanted no fuss there. Phillip’s intention seemed to be to quiet Mr. Picquet, and some other per son I did not recognize; the back of the person with whom Picquet was quarrling was towards the wall; cannot say who did the firing, heard it, and also the lie passed between the parties; the pistol was fired by somebody up next to the building, on the inside of Picquet; don’t think’ Rea fired the first shot; Red stood near to Picquet. lam very sure that the firing come from towards the wall. At the first shot, Picquet falling before the shot, I’hillip also foil; I thought Picquet fell from belli" knocked down; my best opinion is that Phillip fell at the first (fire); the shot that felled’Phillip came from some person near the wall, between it and Picquet. At the time of the first shot, Red Stood close to the right elbow of Picquet; I could easily distinguish Red by his having on light clothes; I next saw hinflying on the ground; did not think Phillip intoxica ted; am acquainted with his habits as to temperance; he is a temperate man of late years. cross examination. Phillip (came) out of the door and went immediately to the crowd; 1 was standing on the Ellis street side of the door from. The party were standing near the billiard robin door; after the rapping, Picquet got out of the carriage and canto to the crowd ; the crowd scattered some after the shot; it was about a minute from the time Phillip came out that the first shot was fired; Pic quet was facing tire wall; Phillip came in between him and the person, side of the wall; Red was to the right of Picquet, and Opposite or to the left of the party towards the wall; Picquet’s back inclined diagonally across Jackson towards Ellis street; 1 am certain it was Red to his right; there were six or eight present; Picquet spoke some thing after he got out of the parriagc con fronted the party side of the wall; Tieard Picquet say it was a d—d lie; cannot say who commenced the cursing; did not sec Phillip after he entered the crowd until he fell; was looking at Archer, when the first shot was fired; the carriage was near the side walk, and a little to the right of the crowd; had no idea of firing (meaning tliat he had no idea that there would be any firing); I saw- the flashes of several pistols, the first several fires were so very close to gether tliat I could not separate them; almost were instantaneous; I did not speak ton policeman to stop that fuss; lam positive of that; I told Mr. Evans I could not see any necessity for all this rapping. Evans went immediately to tlie crowd; Evans told me subsequently that he was shot; did not show me where at that time; I spoke to Evans as he passed me. As I stepped from Uie door 1 am positive that I spoke as above to Evans; was not running when I spoke to him; kept on to the crowd; I did not say' to si watch man to stop that fuss; did uotsee any watch man; did not tell Charles McCalla that night that I had asked a policeman to stop that fuss; the only watchman I spoke to was the one that rapped; was there five or ten min . utes; when the shooting began he looked out for number one; sought shelter from th* shots in the door jam of the barber .shop; I heard vulgar language used on that occasion; it was done while hugging each other. * * [The language being too vulgar and indecent for publication, has been omitted.— Ed], REBUTTAL BY THE STATE. This language was used just before the watchman ‘ came up; was spoken in an ordinarily conversational tone. There was some cessation between the first and last shooting; the last shot seemed to be in the street; there was a cessation of a half min ute between the rapid firing and the last shot, which was in the street• Phillip came into the crowd on the right of Picquet, nnd was lost in it; he came into the left of the person side of the -wall. " SERRBBUTTAL BY THE DEFENSE. I was hot near enough’to hear any remark of Evans’, but he seemed to be for quiet, and never saw him any more till after the fuss, when he told me that he was wounded; said he was wounded somewhere about the head. MAUGE NEWSOME, SWORN. I remember the night of the shooting in front of Schneider’s: lam second bar-keeper at Schneider’s; there was talk in the bar mom of a horse trade, but no unusual fuss. Mr. Phillip's occupation Was to stay at Schneider’s; I saw him More and after he was wousded; be wus not drunk nor under the influence of liquor; had not taken a ' unnk sinbe Christmas, unless it be lieer; saw rm* 3 Picquet there on the night of the difficulty, he was not drunk; Rea was also there, but not drunk; Archer was the only one there that was drunk; Rowland was AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1868. sober; 1 heard no unusual noise on the out side of the building; was at my side on the inside; my attention was called to the outside by the rapping of a policeman on the side or lower sill of the building. There are two windows and a door to the bar-room; the door is a close or blind door; the windows were down; I mean by down tliat the two sashes were down, leaving the upper portion, of the window open; as soon as the rapping was heard the bar was immediately closed by myself and Kulkcr; it was closed a long time before the firing began. CROSS EXAMINATION. I usually close up the,bar-room at 11 o’clock; I mean a man who stag fers and falls down‘T, consider real drunk; mean that a man is tight when he takes a drink or two; Picquet was not tight, but under the inlleuce of liquor. Question by defeudonls counsel,, did you not tell Mr. Evans on Calhoun street, on Tuesday night after the difficulty, in the presence of Rich mond Owen and Richard Thomas, that Red did shoot the first pistol, and thatlie, witness saw him, and'that he would go and swear to it anywhere ? Witness answered that he did not, and coukl not have seen it as both win dows Jhkl the door were closed, nor did he say any filing about Red firing the first shot, but did talk to him otherwise about the diffi culty. Did you not tell Ihc’defendtait in the city of AugustUj on Tuesday night after the difficulty, and m (lie presence of Richard Thomas, tliat as Dillon tinned <pff to go to Pipquet,'you saw Cornelius Red walk up to luin and shoot him in the back? I did not, as I was in the bar and it locked up. Did you not say to Mr. Evans at the Augusta Jail, on Sunday last in the presence of Rich ard Thomas, and a part of the time in the presence of Edwin F. Blodgett and Richard Thomas, that when Mr. Phillip had Mr. Evans nearly down, Mr. Evans raised to protect himself and knocked Mr. Phillip down, that when he saw who it was, that Evans walked away, (hat Mr. Evans could have killed Phillip when he had him down if he had wanted to ; that you saw this from the window or words to that effect ? I did not say so; I had a conversation with Evans, but did not say ms above. Did you not volun tarily go down to the jail to sec Mr. Evans? Answer, I did not, Thomas and myself were going to the cemetery, and he said to me, lets go and see Mr. Evans, I replied all right and went in. REBUTTAL BY THE STATE. 1' was carried to the jail by Richard Thomas—he invited me in. ‘I do not mean by carried that I was lifted in—was invited by Thomas. The conversation with Evans on Tuesday night began by Evans and Richard Thomas coming up to me. I told them good evening, and asked Evans if he was wounded any where. He replied, yo, a little place on the top of my head. We all halted together near West Blodgett’s liouse. Was on the night after the shooting. There is no light in front of bar room, but one in front of billiard saloon. The Globe has oysters engraved on it. That lamp has not been lighted since oyster season went out, THOMAS F. GLEASON. SWORN. I was present at Schneider’s on the night of the difficulty. Was there before the policeman rapped. 1 heard a nbise there but no, sufficient to draw a crowd. Think Archer hallowed once. After the rapping the first policeman 1 saw was Evans. lie asked for Dillon. Evans had his hand upon his hip as if to draw a pistol .Afterwards saw Dillon come up, and passing Red, walk ed immediately up to Picquet and put a derringer pistol in his face; cursed him and toldhim that he had to stop it, (the fuss.) Louis Picquet then told him he was unarmed. Picquet referred to something in a p.tper, when Dillon called him a d—d liar. Picquet cursed him and asked him, how dare he put a derringer in his face. I next saw Phillip run out in his shirt sleeves, and remarked let us have peace, and ran in between Dillon and Picquet. I next heard a pistol fired in the crowd—don’t know who fired it. Shortly afterwards heard two ad ditional shots, when 1 saw Red fall. Don’t know*whether Red was hit before falling or not, but he had his pistol on his hip and til ed as he fell—he also caught at a tree as be fell. After he was on the ground, saw a man run out and shoot at him. Don’t know who it was. As the man shot, I.turned from him mid stepped in the door a little. 1 then turned and saw Evans beating I’hillip over the head. Cannot say with what he was striking him, but hoard the licks. I heard Red ray, you have, murdered me. don’t butcher me. I went out and took hold of his hand and asked him if lie (was) hurt. He replied, yes; I am shot all to pieces., A carriage came up and asked if anybody was hurt. ’ I replied, yes; Red was shot all to pieces. 1 then w cut up to the billiard room when I was asked if anybody was hurt. I told them ve*>, Red was shot. 1 reuMuned in the billiard room a while, and when I re turned they were carrying off' Red. I saw nothing in Evans’ hand before 1 saw him striking Phillip. 1 heard the licks but don’t know with what he was striking. Before the fuss began,and just as Red came out of tlicbar room, he asked Floyd Thomas where he was going, lie replied, to bed. Red then said, let me have your derringer. Thomas handed him the pistol. The pistol was' a derringer. CROSS- EXAMINATION. I live on Grcend street above Cumming. 1 am a shoemaker. 1 was coming down Broad street and went into Volgcr’sto get a cigar, and came out to the comer. Heard some one hallow. ■ 1 remarked to a young man with me that Red must be on a drunk. The •young man that was with me was here just now. Have not heard the testimony. Was here when they called the witnesses the first day. As my name was not called I went off to work. I told several I went off to work. 1 told Pal Otis in the billiard saloon who was hurt—think he was the man who asked me. I had no particular reason for going in the Milliard saloon. Went there immediately after the carriage came. The carriage was Archer’s. This was not the first time, I sew the carriage there. Saw .it thereon the first of the difficulty—as the first two shots were fired. I am confident tliat the carriage came back. The carriage went off when the fifing commenced, and lyme. Irak whoiut was over. Some one in it asked if anybody was hurt. I replied to them, yes, Re cl. 1 was standing about fifteen or twenty feet from the carriage when it came back. Red fell »ut three or four feet from the tree. His feet was about tlrree feet from the tree. Don’t know how far the carriage was from Red’s body when it stopped. 1 had jhst left Red when the carriage came up. I turned and looked at it as it came up and went on. The carriage was passing with the horses in a walk when I was spoken to. Were some people in the entrance, (meaning entrance of saloons) Otis met me at the heud of the stairs. Was going up stairs to go through to Broad street to keep -from getting shot. Thought I might get shot. I took him by the hand. I only recognized the' policeman, Picquet, Phillip and lied. Went to Red and asked liim if he was hurt, and he replied yes. I am.-shot all to pieces. I went to assist him, but left him as they commenced talking loud again. They urn talking loudly but not enough to hear nt tlic Globe. I’thought 1 distinguished Red’s voice fronrthe comer. Went in and saw that it was Archer and not Red,, Did not go further in than Hie door. They re mained in the bar room five minutes, when they came out. Was near the window when they cajne out. Heard them talking about a Ixiiid and serenade. Archer ballowfd, hurrah for the gals in New York. Said he was going out to see the women—said it loud enough to have I>cen heard on Broad street. The almve was all I remember hair ing him say that was vulgar. I heard no vulgar language but some cursing. The billiard room door was between them and me. I was eight or ten feet (from them;) had any vulgar language been used, think I would have heard it. Saw the policeman when he came up. He told them tliat that fuss must be stopped. Archer replied, all right Red said to the policeman that it was Useless to make any arrest but to go and report the case. Red then remarked to the crowd that the fuss must be stopped seem ed to be assisting the polfccUlan. The police* iimn said if it was not stopped he would lyive it stopped. Dillon went right up to Picquet. Red was near to Picquet’s right when Dillon came up and put his pistol in Picquet’sface. Red was on Picquet’s right mid Dillon’s left. I (am) positive that Dillon walked up and put his pistol in Picquet’s face, and cursed him before Picquet. said anything to lum. I saw Picquet go to the carriage before the nipping commenced. He got in. Saw him get out. Don’t know what made him get out. Picquet asked the policeman what lie would do if the fuss was not stopped. When Phillip came up, the pistol went off. Don’t, know who fired it Pistols were fired rapidly afterwards—two 1 know, when 1 saw Red falling and catching at the tree. Red fired his pistol as he fell. Did not see who lie fired at. It was pointed towards the bar room. Did not know where the police were when he fired. Picquet had been knocked down. I’hillip was also down. Did not see him knocked down. He fell near Rod. Don’t know how- close to him. I will swear that he was two feet from him. Paid no particular attention to it as I did not expect to be a witness. Saw Red get a pistol from Thomas. Igo to the billiard room frequent ly. Don’t drink often, £lad not taken a drink that night I lid not take a drink with Red that night. Took a drink with him about six months ago. Have never been a witness before. I know what I have sworn to. Positive about it. I am confident that the carriage came up. Don’t know which way the carriage went. It came from to wards Ellis street, and was going towards Broad street. When the firing began, it went towards Ellis street. Keener Was with me. No one has talked (with) me about the case except some boys on the night of the fuss. Talked to a good many —Andrew Colvin was one of them. Can’t think of who the others were. Don’t know Annie Ross. Know Annie Phillips. Have heard her called Annie Ross. I had no conversa tion with her that night. May have the night after. May have told her that I was there and saw Red shot. Annie Ross is a woman. Some one came in directly after I entered, when I left. 1 rememlier nothing else that I said to her. I did not say to her the night after the difficulty that 1 became frightened and ran away. 1 don’t board at all. Stay at home on Greene street. Don’t stay at Annie Ross’ house every night. Was not there that night, (the 27th.) I went out to Broad and came out through Jackson. Went to Red’s house that pight. Remained there about a quarter, of an hour. 1 went home tliat night and slept. Have not been in the court room during this examination. Have had no talk with the Counsel until I came to the stand. Louis Picquet told me to come down to the City Hall, at 3 o’clock, was all that passed between us. He asked mo last night if I knew anything of the fuss. Told him I was there awl saw it-all. Did not tell him what I could prove. I an-posi tive of that—nor did he ask incx- REBUTTAL BY STATE. When I saw the carriage coming from Ellis street, it was after the difficulty Was over.

In|t lie majority 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 ordinarily suffice to convey such aknowledge of bis invention as will enable Messrs. Brown, Coomb’ & Co. to definitely determine whethera machine or process is new or old —paten table or not. The office hours are from 9a.m. to 5 r. m. Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to furnish to persons residing at a distance from New York—free of charge— written opinions as to whether inventions contain any features of paten table uovelty; to do this thay simply require a sketch or rou.ijli model of the machine or other in vention that is supposed to be new, together with a brief description of the same, and us soon as pos sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail ed to the person desiring the information. These opinions are formed from their own mature exper ience; but if an inventor deeffes to know, positively, whether his incipient idea has ever iieen embodied in a machine or process already patented, liis wisest course will be to have & preliminary examination made at tl» United States Patent office by Messrs. Brown, Coomhs & Co., who will make a special seiirchjiuiong all the records of that institution, and then promptly forward a full and carefully written report as to the patentability of the invention un der examination. For this tabor the small fee of |5 is payable iu advance; uud the remittance should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention und a few lines of writing describing the sains, and distinctly stating those points of uovelty which the inventor desires to have protected by Letters- Pateut Patents for new and useful inventions are now granted for the term of seventeen years Tlio first instalment oflhe Government fee is sls, which sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax on the power-of attorney— is payable in advance, on applying for the potent; and s2l) additional are due to uie Government when tlie Lctters l’atenlare allowed. The Agency fee ie from $25 upward, ac cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our charges will be as modulate as possible in the pre paration of drawings aud all necessary documenta. This fee is not payable until after the application has been prepared and tlie case is ready to be sent to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs A Co. have a branchin Washington bo that all applies tious made through them can have every necessary attention in their passage through the Patent Office. Inventors applying for patents must furnish model, of their machines, whenever possible, for the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi tiun, samples of all the ingredients will be neces sary. Each of these should be marked with the in ventor's name, then carefully boxed, aud sent (by express, prepaid), together with the first ins tai men of the Government fee, to Messrs Brown , Coombs & Co. When the model is small and light, it can be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail. The model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdimens ious, unless it is of such a character that it is im practicable. Patents, es«v|,t those for designs, are granted or equal-terms to cilieens and all foreigners, except inhabitants of Canada and some others of tbe British American Provinces. Besides patents or new and useful inventions, there are iflso granted patents for designs. Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited strictly to arnamcnlat configuration ; but under Section JI of the Act of March 2,1861. any new /m m ofany article, orany impreneion or figure upon the surface of any article or material, by whatever means or process produced, can be patented. Un der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten sion of their respective patents for tlieterm of .even j ears from the day on which said patents sliall ex pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are now provided fertile extensions of lastters-Patent. Among the numerous subjects foi patents of this class may be particnlarly mentioned—castings of all metals, parts of machines, household fuiniture and utensils; glassware,, hardware of all kinds, cornices, and other interior-and exterior decorations of buildings; also, detigus for woven and printed fabrics, drees and upholstery trimmings, anti har ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or mercliandi‘C, 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 mi a deoiga-patent for years is $lO-|7 years, sls; 14 years, S3O. No models of designs are required: bat duplicate drawings or photographs must be furnished- The specification to accompany the drawings or photographs re quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs Brown, Coombs A Co. give very particular at tention to this branch of their business. Then charge for preparing applications for design-patents is generally about sls. Design patents are only granted to American citizensor to aliens who have resided one year iu the United States and made oatli of tiieir intention citizens thereof. The facilities of Messrs. Blows, Coombs & Co for obtaining patents in the various European countries are equal if not superior to those of any other in the United States. With regard to tbeir qualifications for such business, it need Only be stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara lion of more European applications than any other person in this conn try, Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co., besides having a branch.office tn Washington, nave their owu agencies iu the principal capitals of Europe.

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH PAIN KILLER. o— Read the following letter from Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China, now visiting liis home in Pennsylvania: Washington, Pa., June25,18(56. Meters. Perry Davie db Son', Providence, R. l.i Dear Sira-During a residence of some ten years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the ChoWra. In administering tbe medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspoonfni of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table Spoonful ot the same mixture every minute uutll relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Itatbe the stomach with Pain Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully iu Hie way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Yours, truly, R TELFORD. If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of tlic Fain Killer. Sold by all medicine deniers. Price, 25 cents, 50 cents, aud $1 per bottle. Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866. . Gentlemen-- * ” • I want to say a little more about the Pain Killer, I consider it a very valuuMc medicine, and always keen it on buna. I have travelled a good deal since I have been iu Kansas, and never without taking it with me. In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1849, aud with better success than any other •edicine; I also need it here for cholera in 1355, with the same good result. Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D. Swato, Chin|. Cholera I***l regret to say that the cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearfol extent. For the last three weelre, from teg to fifty or sixty fatal eases each day has been re ported. 1 should add that the Pain Killer, sent recently irom the Mission House, has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual in check ing the disease. Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG, Bhoiapore, India. [From the Portland Monthly.] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem just now to be tbe prevailing element, and any medicine that is everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we liave seen, beard, and experienced, we believe Davis’ Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the beat method of using it, we quote from tbe directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one iea sjioonful in a gill n ®w milk nnd molasses, in equal parts, stirred well together; lessen tlrn dose for children, according to tlie age. If the pa.ui be severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “Tbe quickest way I ever saw the dysentery cured was I>y taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer in one gill of milk ami molasses stirred well together aud drank hot, at the same time bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let tile dose be repeater! every hour until the patient is relieved.” If every person who has reason to fear this disease would provide themselves with a bcttle of this medicine, and use as oocarion required, we believe a great amount of suffering and sickness would be saved. ,je!2—2m Special Notice. . fi r- 5 -*lB My - s Hf ’ 1 f.
