K- 11. PUG HE. THURSDAY MORNING September 17, 1868 WmclsT TESTI MOXY AS COPIED Hl ON THE ORIGINAL RECORDS, By Col. 11. D. D TWIGGS, One of the Counsel for the Defence. [testimony continued.] FLOYD THOMAS, jr., SWORN. 1 was in front of Schneider's on the night of the difficulty ; was present when the first policeman came np; his name is Haig or Heggs; from the time he rapped and till he came up, there was no resistance to his orders, and no threats of violence towards him. He attempted no violence, nor attemp ted to strike any one in my presence at the time he came up. He afterwards threatened to strike me -heafd him threaten no one else. I now recollect that hC did attempt to strike Picquet. When the ciowd came out of the bar-room, Archer was talking very loudly, and used some very indecent language. Heggs came up and «aid that fuss had to lie stopped, and Red told him that he (Heggs) knew who the party was and not to raise any difficulty, but to go" and report it; Heggs re plied that he would not, that the fuss had to be stopped. Red then told him that if he would not take his advice, to go on and stop it. Picquet was in the carriage at this time, anil now got out and wont up to Heggs, (told him) not to rap for any police for the party were going off very soon, and not to raise any difficulty, or words to that effect. I think that Picquet’s remark to him was, you damn little fool or puke—not positive as to which expression was used. Heggs then threatened to strike Picquet, 1 jumped in between them and told him that he should not strike a one legged man, as it was a shame for any man to do it. I had a pistol pre vious to the difficulty, two of them; they' were Red’s pistols—were Derringers. I loaneil them lioth out previous to the difficulty—one to Red and the other to Mr. Short. Three pistols were shown to witness; don’t think that either of them was the one I loaned Red, but think one of them Red’s pistol. Red’s pistols were generally in the meat shop, and 1 used them at my pleasure; one of these pistols resembles one that Red had, but can not say it is his. I loaned Short the first pistol m the bar-room; they were going to ride when we came out of the bar-room. Red asked me where I was going, I replitj that I would go to bed as I did not feel like accompanying the party; tliink Red was going m the country, told me that evening that he was; at the time Red borrowed the pistol after I came out, he told me I had no use for it to let him have it. CROSS EXAMINATION. 1 loaned Red the pistol just as we got out of the door, and before the policeman came up. The loud talking was going on as we came out. * * * [The language being too vulgar and indecent for publication, has been omitted.—Ed.] Said he wanted to go to a whore-house; heal'd him say something about NeW York, but not loud enough to be heard out of tlie crowd; the other language could have been heard across the street; did not see where Heggs came from. REBUTTAL BY THE STATE. 1 was in the employ of Red, his natural voice was very loud—could be heard across Jackson street when in a common conversa tion ; am not acquainted with Archer’s voice, am acquainted with him. Had I been across the street could not have recognized his voice: Vulgarity was used before the policeman came up. The remarks alxnit the New York whores were made, while we were on the Corner of Broad street. It was not said when in front of the bar-room; may have been spoken of. The language used on Broad street corner was probably half an hour be fore the policeman came up; policeman came just after the last language; said the fuss must lie stopped. There was no vulgar lan guage after the policeman ordered the fuss stopped; after the watchman came up, and before he rapped Archer was talking like any other drunken (man) Will talk. Somebody said let’s go—Red had Archer around the waist trying to get Archer to get in the car riage ; some one in the party said, come let’s go, and I think would have gone off in a few minutes liad they been let alone; hail two pistols on the night of the difficulty; loaned one to Rod, the other to Short. When I loaned out the pistols, Red, Short, and my self were talking together. The pistols’ I had and loaned to the parties above named were matches; loaned the other to Red out side the bar-room. SAMUEL H. ROWLAND, BWOBN. 1 was seated in the carriage from the time the policeman came up, to the end of the shooting; got out once to put Archer in- Archer was put in about the time the first pistol was fired. Louis Picquet got out of the carriage; did not come bids to it after he got out of it; did not hear Picquet come up to the carriage and ask Archer or any one else to lend him a pistol; lam positive that Picquet did not come up to the carriage—l know the given name of the carriage driver, it is Bill or William. I did not recognize Dillon until I heard his name called—saw the police come up; hoard his name called by Picquet. In the conversation between Pic quet and the other person about a pistol— Picquet remarked something about a pistol having been presented to his head. The carriage drove towards Ellis street during the difficulty between Heggs and the party. The horses’ heads were turned down Jackson towards Ellis street. We drove down Ellis to opposite Wilson’s old stable, ami turned round to where tire difficulty occurred and stopped. Wc then drove towards Broad street The firing had al] ceased when we went to Broad; carriage went to Ellis street after the first pistol fired. I saw the police man when he came up; he was very perem tory in his orders; his style was not kind or conciliatory; he came and said that fuss liad to be stopped. The ‘tone of the policeman was more of an order than of a request; after the policeman ordered the fuss stopped, there were no threats used nor violence at tempted towards him lieforc he rapped; the only violence offered the police was the quarreling of Picquet with Dillon; I heard no one threaten an injury to any of the police that night, nor did I see any violence offered any of them; cannot say how many police men were present when the firing began. CROSS-EXAMINATION. •< as sworn before the Coroner; have seen the evidence taken there as published in the oMtitutionaUxt; it is what I said there; ’(is . correct; questions have been asked here that were not asked there; I. stated there, I saw no arms on any one; that is correct; 1 left AUGUSTA, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, BEPTEMBEK 17, 1868. because the shooting began; did hot want to get hurt; came back because the sliooting was over; saw the flash of the pistol; there was some loud talking—no fuss; heard no vulgar language used; had there been any, tlunk I would have heard it: Picquet told him if he did not stop he would make a fuss: think Picquet called tlie policeman a d—d little fool; think he had rapped before Pic quet cursed him; was not much excited; do not remember saying that there would have been no difficulty had it not been for Pic quet ; hail given the idea but not the words; I used Dillon’s name in this connection with Picquet’s; heard Picquet say something of Dillon publishing a lie on mm; first heard Picquet quarrelling with Dillon aliout pre sontmg a pistol in his face; hud taken one drink; was not under the influence of liquor when 1 returned with the carriage, found the parties very lively; think I used the word very, reported in the Constitutionalist, in regard to Red’s being quiet—was unusu ally so for him ; never before saw Red in a difficulty; in that testimony I referred to our party as drinking; I said I heard no noise before the policeman came up; did not say voice. REBUTTAL BY STATE. Testimony as taken before the Coroner's In quest, offered by Stale. I was ifi the carriage and heard Picquet say to Dillon something about putting a pis tol in his face-; Archer said to Evans, “we are not going to have any fuss,” we are all going off in the carriage; Mr. Red was very quiet on this occasion; 1 never saw him more (so,) and showed no disposition to create a difficulty; the party appeared to be drinking, but 1 heard no noise prior to the rap and the policeman’s coming up; I saw no arms ou any one; I liad oiily taken one drink with the party. SURREBUTTAI. BY DEFENCE. The conduct of Evans toward the party seemed civil and kind; he remarked (to) Archer, Captain, don’t have any fuss; his deportment was kind and friendly; Archer replied to him, all right, wc won’t have any fuss, but going right off in the carriage. GEORGE M. HOOD, SWORN. 1 am a police officer—Captain of Police; Mr. Ramsey keeps the records of the police; the book presented is the ledger containing the roll of the regular and substitute watch; as appears from that record, Jacob Heggs was on beat No. 13; that ward extends from Mclntosh to Jackson (street), and I think to Greene street; O’Sliannesy was on the 14th beat that night; the 14th beat extends from Jackson to Campbell street; James Shackelford was a substitute and was on 32d—duty from Mclntosh to Campbell or Ellis streets; Reynolds was on the 25 th—from Jackson to Campbell and from Greene out to South Boundary. AL EXANDER PHILLIP, SWORN. On the night of the 27th July, I heard Captain Picquet say that he was unarmed and a man might as well attack a wooden man as hy*f; 1 then went out and heard Piequet say to Dillon, this is not the first lie you have told on me—l proved you a liar before, and I now pronounce>you a d—d liar and scoundrel; I put my hand- on Dillon’s arm and told him there was no necessity for any disturbance. Dillon and Evans then stepped some four or five paces towards Broad street; Dillon returned to Picquet and 1 stepped in between them; I felt something against my breast— just then Dillon fired; 1 saw the flash and felt the wound in my breast; 1 thought I was shot through; Evans then commenced firing at Red; some other man fired —1 don’t know who he was—and then Red fired; Evans then advanced on me with his pistol pointed at me; just then Red fell; Evans reversed his pistol in his hand and commenced beating me ovor the head with it, knocking me down; he con tinued beating me w hen I told him to stop beating me, as 1 was down and shot; whilst I was down, I saw Dillon fire twice at Red; Dillon fired the first shot—l 4111 positive of that, as I received the contents of the pistol; I don’t think it was intended for me; I think Dillon intended it for Captain Picquet; I had never liad a difficulty or cross word with Dillon in my life; I only said to him that I saw no necessity for a fuss. A shirt was here shown the witness which he identified as the one worn by him at the time of getting shot; Dillon (was) coming from towards Broad street when I got between him and Picquet; my left breast was towards him when he fired—rather facing him; Dillon, on his return, said something about arresting the party, when I told him there was no necessity for any arrests, and endeavored to keep the peace; there would have been no difficulty if the watch had not come up; the bar room door was closed just as I came out of it; the windows bud Itcen previously closed; when I came out. 1 had on only a shirt and pantaloons; after Evans fired, I saw some other person fire but conkl not re cognize him; it was a moon-light night, but a little hazy ; there was no other light there, except what proceeded from the Globe Hoti 1 across the street; 1 had nothing in my hand when I came out; I swear positively that I did not have a knife or any other weapon in my hand; my attention was first called to the outside by Picquet’s remark of being un armed and that he might as well attack a wooden man as he; I did not knew the police were out there; lam a Justice of the Peace; 1 was sober at. the time of the diffi culty ; 1 had drank nothing but beer that day; have taken nothing but beer or ale this year; beer does not have an intoxicating effect on me■ it would intoxicate if enough was taken; had only taken three or four glasses of beer that day; the Glolie light in front of the billiard saloon door lias not. to my knowledge, been lighted since the first ot April; I saw Red shoot; three or four shots had been fifed before he fired; I was not examined thoroughly before the Coroner’s inquest; my testimony then given was pretty much all in reply to questions asked me.

PUGHE K Ilin Broad Street, Angnsta, Ga. The American Artisan UxNH'iiD STATES AND FOREIGN . PATENT AGENCY. 189 Broadway, New York. Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS & CO.,Proprie tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their best services to inventors, ns Solicitors of Ameri can aud Foreign Patents. Mr. llknrt T.Brown, of this firm, has had more than t teen I y-two years' expetieave in that profession, both in this country and Europe, and hie long practice has wkie him personally known to thousands of inven tors and patentees. The applications for the patents upon mahy of the greater and more im portant in ventions’olthe present century have been prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co., are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re gulations instituted for the rapid tianeaction of business with the United States Patent Office, and the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari ous European countries; and this knowledge ren ders them confident that their post experience, with their present nneqnaled facilities, enables them to elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu ments required by law in applications for patents, and to promise their clients an absolute certainty ofeuccesem inventions that me really new and usefill. Parti cular care is given to the execution of the accurate drawings wnich must always accompany every application for a patent., and they employ none biit the most efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence of the manner in which Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Am ik icsx Artisan Patknt Agenct, "during thetbtee years of its existence, has been the most successful institution of the kind ever established. The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coom bs & Co. are situated at 189 Broadway, opposite John street, New York, in the most central part of the city. Thin location is one of very easy access by strangers, inasmuch as it. is within a stone's throw from the City Hall. All inventors temporality so journing in the metropolis are invited to visit this establishment. ln|the 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 aknowletlge of his invention as will enable Messrs. Brown, Coombs &. Co. to definitely determine whether a machine or process is new or old— pateji table on not. The office hours are from 9a.m. to 5 p.m. ' Messrs. Brow n , Coo Mus &■ Co. are prepared to furnish to persons resiling at a distance from New York —free of charge— written opinions as to whether inventions contain any features of paten table novelty; to do this they simply require a sketc h or rough model of the machine or other in vention that is supposed to be new, together with a brief description of the same, and as soon ns pee sible thereafter a letter of the best advico is mail ed to the person desiring the information. These opinions are formed from their own mature exper ience; bnt if an in venter desires to know, positively, whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied in a machine or process already patented, his wisest course will be to have a preliminary c-raminalion made at the United States Patent office by Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make’a special ttearelqamong 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 labor the small fee of $5 is payable in advance; aud tlie icmittarice should be accompanied by a sketcfi of the invention and a few lines of writing describing the same, and distinctly stating those points of novelty which the inventor desires to have protected by Letters- Patent Puieute for new and useful inventions an- now granted for the term ofaevENTRSN tears The first instalment of*the Governmein lee is sls, which sum—together with fifty cents revenue stattip-lhx on the power-of attorney— is payable.i« advance, on applying for the patent; and S2O additional are due to the Gbvernjnetit when the Letters Patent are allowed.

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH PAIN KILLER. ■ ■ ■ -0 Read the following letter from Rev. R. Telford, Missionary in China, now visiting his home in Pennsylvania: Wabhinoton, Pa., Jiuie2s, 1866. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son t Providence, R. ].-• Deur Sire—Daring a residence of some ten years as a Miseionary in Siam and China, I found , your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspooufui of Pain Killer iu a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar ; then, after about tifleeu minutes, begin to give a table spoonful of the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Paia Killer, clear aud rub the limbs briskly. Os those who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully in the 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 the Pain Killer. Hold by all medicine dealers. Price, tJS cents, 50 cents, and $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 valuable medicine, and always keep it on hand. I have travelled a good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never without taking it with me, In my practice I used it- freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any other medicine; I also used it here for cholera in 1855, with the same good result. Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D. Swato, China. Cholera! * * * I regret to say that the cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re ported. 1 should add that tire Pain Killer, ueut recently from the Mission House, has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual iu cheek ing the disease, Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG, Sholaporo; India. [From the Portland Monthly.] Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem just uew to be the prevailing element, and any medicine that is everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we have seen, hoard, and experienced, we believe Davis' Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from tlie directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spoonful in a gill of new milk ana molasses, in equal pans, stirred well together; lessen tlie dose lor children, according to the age. If the pain be severe, bathe the bowels and track with the medi cine. This mode of treatment is good in eases of the cholera morbus, sadden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “The quickest way l ever saw the dysentery cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer iu one’gill of milk and molasses fflirretl well together and drauk hot, at the same time 1 bathing the trowels freely with medicine. Let [ the dose be repMkUd every hour until tlie patient r is relieved.’’ ’ If every person who has reason to fem- Uds ’ disease would provide themselves with n Irvttle of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we believe a great amouut of suffering and sickness would be saved. jel2-*-2m nr y--** 1 ~,t -"u,~ ■rj.’i;■ 4”’ Special Notice. ll I h -Or * 3 ® - 3 He 4 ' s w ? ® -S H W I ■■ £■?
