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.

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. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; bnt tn all cases our
chtihges will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until after the application
has been prepared and the ease is ready to be Bent
to Washington. Messrs. BhoWN. Coombs &. Co.
have a branch in Washington ho tlmtall applica
tions made tinough them can have every necessary
attention in passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners iu the Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi
tion, 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 tlie lirstinstalinen
ofthe Government fee, to Messrs Brown, Coombs
it Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model mustnot-exceed one foot in any of its dimens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on equal terms to citizens and nil foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of the
British American Provinces.
Besi'fes patents or new and useful inventions,
tiiere are also granted patents for designs.
Design-patents are not now. as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under
Section I I of the Act of March 2, JB6l, any new
formotnny article, or any impression ot figure upon
the surface vl any article or material, by whatever
means or process produced, can be patented. Uu
dec this Act. patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective patents for the term of seven
years from the day on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon the saino terms and restrictions as are
now provided fnrthe extensions of Letters-Patent.
Among the numerous subjects fol patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned —eastings of
all metals, patts of machines, household furniture
and utensils; glassware, hardware of ail kinds,
coruiees.aml other interior and exterior decorations
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, dress aud upholstery trimmings, and har
ness labels and trade marks fur medicines, per
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
merciiandi e, 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 ofart, us stat miry,
busts, compositions in alto or basso relievo. The
Government fee on a design-patent for3j years is
designs are required; but duplicate drawings or ‘
photographs must be furnished- Tlie specification
to accompany the drawings or photographs re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown, Coombs & Co. give very particular at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
charge for preparing applications for design-patents
is generally about sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizens or to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States and made
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messi*. Baowx, Coombs & Co
for obtaining patents in ths various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
other iu tlie United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it needaonly be
stated that Mr. Brown has had thr prepara
tion of more European applications than any
other person iu this countiy, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs & Co., besides having a hraurhojliee in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be furnished free
on application personally or by mail.
Messrs. Brown, Ci - MBs & Co. also attend to iu
terforcnces, the extensions of expiring Letters-
Patent, and all proceedings relating to patents be
fore tlie United States Patent Office.
All letters, packages, boxes, etc., should be ad
dressed, prepaid,as follows:

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
