[testimony concluded.] CROSS-EXAMINATION. I-was sworn before tile Coroner; what 1 testified to *»» correct; part of it only was read over to me; I put my mark to it; was unable to sign it; have not rend it since; no one has red jt over to me since; have had no conversation with any one about my testimony since • have talked to parties about trial since; Picquet was here day before yesterday; told me what some of the witnesses swore to; told me only how he placed the par-ties, and asked me if he hail placed them correctly; told me witnesses were sequestered; told me of the way lie placed the parties; was not certain that he got it right; think Mr. Joshua Evans told me what Mango swore to as to his definition of a drunken man ; told me no other facts; did not tell me the other points he swore to; don’t remember any other persons talking to me about the trial than mentioned; Mr. Au gustus Picqnet came to me to ask if I was able to have my testimony taken; said no thing about the position of the parties; the door was closed as I came out; did not go • below the door to get to the parties; Dillon was facing the wall when he and Picquet were talking; he was facing Picquct sitting in the window sill; he was near the wall; don't know positively wiretlrer he was sitting down or leaning against the wall; he was still there when Dillon returned, and when I got between them, was next to the wall, when the firing began; Dillon's back was towards Broad street when he fired; Dillon and Picquct were about the width of my body apart; 1 shoved Picquct back a little; Dillon and Picquct were to tlic Ellis street side of the door; lied was just in front of the door, and to my rear as 1 interposed be tween the parties. Witness here represented the position of the parties by placing coun sel in similar positions, Picquct next to the wall sitting against the window sHI; Dillon and Phillip facing al the time the pistol fired; Phillip inteiposiiig between the parlies (Dil lon and Picquet), Dillon’s back towards Broad street and (parties) close together. The three parties named standing as near together as could be without touching; Red occupied a position six or seven feet from Dillon with his face towards him, and back to Jackson street or Globe Hotel, can’t say whether it was five or six feet, or six or seven feet. I did mention in the testimony before the Coroner’s Jury, that Evans advanced toward me with a pistol; don’t know whether or not it was taken down. I swear now positively that Evans approached with his pistol presented at me. Red fell before 1 did—Evans had.struck me four or five blows before I fell. Immediately after Evans got through firing at Red. he came right towards me. Evans was six or eight feet behind Dillon toward Broad street, when Dillon fired was about the same distance from Red; was near the building, as shown in the posi tion of the parties above—l would place Evans about three yards behind Dillon; 1 recognized no other persons there; I said before the Coroner that Evans fired; don’t know whether or not I stated that he fired on Red; did not see Dillon or Evans When they came up—l was in so much pain when I testified before the Coroner, that I may have omitted important particulars. I have talked with no one about Evans having fired, my condition deterred me (from) giving in my testimo'hy as fully before the Coroner’s J ury as I might have done. lam positive that I did not see Red fire but once; don’t know whether or not I stated before the Coroner that Red did not fire—l stated I saw only one pistol in the hands of a citizen—said the police did most all the shooting. I saw Evans shoot three or four times; saw Dillon shoot once at me and twice at Red after he was down—l am positive of that; 1 did not hear much fuss before the police came up; Archer was drinking and a little noisy; (lid not hear the conversation or language used shut up the bar-room earlier because the police were out there—there was no difficulty out there. The rapping of the policeman was the cause of shutting up; the noise could probably (have) been heard across Jhe street was not in the bar-room; Dillon’s ball entered just below the left, and came out near the right nipple—don't think any party lias told me since the trial began that aside from Red's dying declarations no evidence had connected Evans with the shooting. Bolder, Evans and Picquet have lieen here frequently; Picquet only spoke of the -position of the parties. No person has spoken to me of the con nection of Evans with the shooting but Red’s declarations that I remember; lam positive that Picquet did not say anyUiing about it. My brother told me that a certain person, William A. Bradley ought, to be summoned, as from what he heard, Evans had not been identified with the shooting. I don’t know whether or not he has been to the Court House since the trial began; think he told me of this on Tuesday or Wednesday; I told brother to liave him summoned. REBUTTAL BY THE STATE. AnyUiing I may have heard of having been testified to in’the Court House, would not have influenced me in the least. Pic quet did not know that I was to be exam ined, but thought my testimony before the Coroner’s Jury was to be taken in this trial; I only knew it myself on night before last. Picquct stated that he understood my testi mony before the Coroner’s Jury was to be taken in this trial. My shirt is in the same condition as taken from me on the night of the shooting. When I was examined before the Coroner’s Jury, the testimony was Te- Ifpeated to the clerk sometimes by Mr. Pic quet, and sometimes by the Foreman. Mr. Porter Fleming. Upon questions by States Counsel, as to the ‘ position of parties, con firms the position above stated. The first notice Iliad of an intention to examine (me; on this trial, was night liefore last. My mind is clear that tho statements herein made are the facts as they occurred on the night of the shooting. SURREBUTTING TESTIMONY .OFFERED BY DEFENSE. . EDWIN F. BLOIMIETT, SWORN. tlle on Sunday Week t r ‘Mange Newsome,” a boy by the name « IMck came in with him to ‘see Evans -I was also there for the same purpose. After ,Y had burnt there a short time. Evans en quired of Newsome how Phillip was; lie replied that Phillip was getting on pretty well 1 then left the room and was absent, a few minutes. Evans then told him Phillip had taken him with a warrant for assault and battery, with intent to kill him. He (New some) secmetl to be surprised!, and said t hat Evans could have killed Phillip had he wanted to when hi; had Idm down, and that he snw this difficulty looking from the win dow. I CROSS WX AM [NATION. i Evans asked Newsom® how Phillip was, i this was the first question ! heard naked in relation to the difficulty. RICHARD THOMAS (COLORED), SWOBN. I was present at the Jail on Sunday week when Mauge and E. F. Blodgett were pres ent with Evans. The question as to the con , vernation with Evans on Calhoun street the , night after the difficulty was here read to the witness. He answered that he heard New some state to Mr. Evans, and that Red fired ; first. The question as to Red shooting Dil , km when on his way to quiet Picquet was read to witness. Answer: Newsome said that as Dillon went to quiet Picquet, Red slipped up behind him and shot him. He said that lie. Newsome, was standing in the door when it occurred, also said that firing got so desperate that he left tlie door and got r upon the windowsill and looked over the sash. Third question was next read. An swer: he did so state every word of it. CROSS BX AMINATION. The same statements were in Calhoun street that were afterwards repeated in the Jail; I understand the last question read to me by the Clerk; I am positive that the conversation denied by Newsome as having been spoken at the Jail, is thesameas spoken on Calhoun street; cannot say what door Newsome referred to—cannot say what sliot .he referred <i >to) when looking over the win dow—was in the door when the first shot was fired. lam in the employ of the City ; Council of Augusta; working on tlie streets. ' I saw Evans the niglit after the shooting, , was not with him, was on my way from i church when I met Evans in front of West i Blodgett’s house where the conversation com menced; Evans was present when the con versation Was had. Mauge Newsome is employed at Schneider’s, has been there one , or two years to my knowledge; don’t know what he does; don’t know what his character is, 1 associate with bitt few men; don’t con sider Newsome a stranger—l know of noth ing ungentlemiinly in Ncwsome-.-k now noth ing of Bis character for truth—would proba bly have believed Newsome on his oath previous to this trial, probably 1 would not. ' I had not seen Evans before the night of the , conversation, since the shooting; saw him on ’ Tuesday; don’t know whether it was on the , night or Red’s death or not; don’t know the day of Red's burial; paid no attention to it; had the conversation with Evans referred to ! after 11 o’cock at night, Evans was present I on both conversations; only part of the time , at the Jail—was not present at the whole of it. Mr. Blodgett heard the whole of the con versation at the Jail—can’t say whether he ; heard tlie whole of it. Blodgett left tlie' t room a part of the time. The conversation • was repeated three or four times; cannot say Blodgett heard the whole of the epnversa- ' tion. he was present; I Was sent after the ■ other day when Newsome was on the stand; was with Judge McLaws told him what New some told me. lie read it to writing, read it over to me; I undefstood the question then, . and 1 understand it now. i SURREBUTTING TESTIMONY ; OFFERED BY STATE.

CHARLES EVANS SWORN, FOR DEFENCE. On the night of the 27th July, Chief Dil lon in the police office asked me to take a walk; think he said up Greene street: in walking between the Hall and gate I said to him, let’s go up Broad street, as 1 wuntcil to get a piece of tobacco; attoi getting tlie tobacco, we walked on up the South aid® of Broad street; just as we got in fiont of the front entrance of the Globe Hotel, heard the rap of a policeman’s stick; we walked up a little quick then, and as we got to the corner heard another rap; I then heard cursing and noise; about the same time we both started across the street in a run; neither of us si«>ke to the other; Dillon (was) on my right in crossing the street; when I got into the crowd, the first man 1 met was Red; he had a pistol in his hand; heard a noise there of another gentleman blackguarding just be hind him, towards Ellis street; I said to Red <o stop this fuss—he had his pistol in his hand; when I spoke to him, he put his pis tol up with his anus akimbo; cannot say whether he put it in his pocket or not; Arch er was not the person making the noise be hind him; I went from Red to Archer and said, Captain, stop this fuss; Archer replied, he would, as he was for peace; at this time, Picquct was cursing over next to tlie wall; I did not at that time know who he was curs ing; I then started to where Ificquet was standing, in a crowd nearer to the wall than Archer or Red; just before getting in reach of him, heard him call Dillon's name; Dillon said, Picquet, I want to stop this noise; Pic quet continued cursing him for a little time; Picquet then stepped back and walked to the carriage; everything then became quiet for about a moment or a little longer; as he came back from the carriage, he commenced cursing Dillon again; I thought then that I could stop him and addressedhim as Captain, don’t liaVe any fuss; he said the d—d rascal . had treated him so mean that he could not stop; was then walking towards Dillon ami kept coning him, and said that Dillon had told lies, or a—d lies, on him before, and that he hud published him as a liar; during this cursing, I walked around towards the out side of the sidewalk; he then said, William C. Dillon, I pronounce you a d—d liar and a coward; Dillon then started towards him: both seemed to advance on the other; 1 started to get into the crowd to get between them; Dillon replied that he was another d -d liar, but Red stepped in between Dillon and myself and raised his left hand, and as he raised his left hand, fired with his right hand; Dillon was standing with his back quartering towards Schneider’s wall; Picquet right in front of liim—pretty close together, ' with his back quwtenng towards Jackson and Ellis streets; Red was to tlie left and rew of Dillon; when the first shot was fired. Red and Dillon went towards the wall; 1 did not sec Phillip at this time; I aimed to get in to them; in making to him I received a blow—that blow turned me right around; as I turned, Dillon and Red went towards the street; Iwas then engaged with another gentleman; could not see all that took place hi tlie street, but saw the last shot thflt Wits fired in the street. Before the shot tired, I saw a man walking backwards, stooping forward with one or both hands to his side; I saw another rising from the ground; he raised to a bending position when the one in the bending position, walking forward, fired. I then started up to them. He crossed the street to the Globe Hotel, ivhen I walked up and found it to be Dilloh; I knew the man who was rising; I saw no weapon on him at this time; Dillon, after firijig, went down to liiin, when a twisting of hands or a scuffle ensued; Dillon went over to the Globe Hotel; 1 heal'd some conversation over there, but could not distinguish what it it was, but heard the remark that I am shot tlu'ough; can’t say who made it as it came from across the street—it came from the direction in which Dillon went; Dillon then came back to me; I asked him where he was shot; he answered that he was shot through. 1 handed him one of the two -hats 1 had picked up; Picquet then returned, which .was the first time I had seen him since the first shot was fired; Dillon said if there was a policeman present, to take Picquet to the Court House, as he was the instigator of this whole affair; the guard house is at the Court House, dewn stairs; I then went to Dillon and said to him, let’s go to a doctor; about that time Stallings came up; Picquet had not yet been carried off, but was still cursing on the sidewalk; I then asked jf there was a policeman there to take Picquet to the guard house, to break up that crowd; a po ficeman or two had hold of him when 1 spoke to them; I then returned to Dillon and went with him to the doctor; Dillon had two der ringer pistols with him; the two arc the same as produced on my trial—these were all the fire arms he had. Was in the habit of carrying those arms for the past six months; the custom of the police is tn carry arms. They were supplied cit her by Mr. Foster or Mr. Gardiner with arms when Mayor. When 1 started in to where Rod and Dillon were : towards the wall, I was struck by Phillip— i I had just before receiving Phillip's blow i been struck or shot on the haul as the blood was streaming down my face; Pliillip and myself then clenched; I did not then know who I’hilim -was; I thought while scuffling with him ft was Archer; I thought it was Archer because he was making a fuss and , both were large men and bald headed. I then knocked him down; when- lie fell he turned over on his back, and I recognized Mr. ; Phillip. He Jay perfectly still without mov ing or speaking for a second or such a' inat ter, aad then said, I’m down, but don’t kill i (me) on the ground or, you can kill me, or words to that effect. 1 then walked away from him. I did not knoiv whether the blood from my head was causal by a sliot or . a blow, but about 12 o’clock discovered that it was caused by a shot. Was on my "way '■ towards Red and Dillon when I received it. I swear positively that Red fired the first I shot. I was msidc of three feet from Dillon when the first shot was fired. Had Dillon fired, m ould have seen liim, undoubtedly, as - I was close to him. I was there qs a Lieu ! tenant of Police—Dillon was as Uiiicf of ’ Police—l was under his orders; I liad on a i badge at the time of the fuss; it was broken off in the difficulty; Dillon had on his; the police all weir them while on fluty; we heard raps at two distinct times when we went to theny our duty is to repair to the scene of the rapping—t he rapping Is the signal for asssstancc, and it is our duty to go im mediately toil; I think if Dillou had allot Phillip I would have seen it.

These opinions are formed from their own mature exper ience; but if an inventor desiresto know, positively, whether his incipient idea lias ever been embodied in a madiine or process already patented, his wisest i-oui-se will be. to have a preliminary examination made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH PAIN KILLER. o- • Read the following letter from Rev. R. Telford. Missionary in China, nbw visiting his home in Pennsylvania: Washington, Pa., June 25,1866. Messrs. Perry Davis i Son { Providence t R. l.t Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten yrera »n n Mi-.6ren.ry iu Siam and China, I found your vegetable I’lnu Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found if most etfectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar ; then, gfter about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. OI 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 Diarrh®a, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the Pain Killer. Kold by all medieftie dealers. 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. 1 consider it a vfrv valuable medicine, and always keen it on hand. I have travelled a good deal since I have been iii Kansas, and never without taking it with me. In my practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic Cholera, in 1849, and with lietter success than any other medicine; 1 also need it hero for cholera in 1855, with the same good result. Truly, yourt, ' A HUNTING, M. D. SwaTo, China. Cholera! * * * 1 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 eases caeh day has been rq ported. 1 should add that the Pain Killer, sent recently from the Mission Rouse, has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual iu check ing the disease, Rkv. CHARLES HARDINIG, Sholapore, Iwdia. , (From the Portland Monthly.J Summer Complaint and Dynntery. Bowel complaints seem just now to be the prevailing clement, and any medicine that is everywhere acceptable, nnd that is reliable, is a very desirable acqaisHiou. From what we have seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis’ Pain Killer is thik desideratiim. For the best . method of using it, we quote from the directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spoonfnl in a gill of new milk and molasses, in equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose for children, according to the age. If the pain bo severe, bathe the bowels and back with the nrdfi cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re ;>eat the dose every hour. “The quickest wity I ever saw the diseiitarv cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer in one gill of milk, aud molasses Mitred . .Mtnll tafjgtlrer aud dtmglr, lwt > ,at -Ure tagw bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let the dose be rc|>eatod every hour uutil tlie patient is relieved." If every person who has reason to fenr this disease would provide with a bottle of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we believe a great auionnt of suffering and sickness would be saved. jel2—f>u Special Notice.
