Court has arrived, the negro has been placed upon trial for his life, and he is indebted to the honorable by the counsel he has had. THURSDAY MORNING Judge Fort learned that tho negro had counsel and he detailed from the visiting bar, Col. B. B. Hinton, McCorkle and B. H. Wilkinson, Esqr’ defend the prisoner. Sheriff White brought the prisoner Thursday, and as the whistle of the locomotive blew in the distance, the court was cleared of spectators twinkling, and if the reception 1 negro received was not cordial and . thusiastic, it was at least large and sombre. Thursday night was dark, rainy and stormy. While the elements were « raged, those who dwealt below, it said, (but I do not believe it), contem plated sending the victim to his long home, amid the fitful flash of the light ning, the distant and snbdned roll the thunder and the drenching rain. Early Friday morning, the case w called; the prisoner was called upon announce. His counsel, appointed the day befoi had had no opportunity to confer with each other and but little with the pris- at the bar. Messrs. Wilkinson and McCorkle had boarded the train to Americas, upon their expense, to confer with the prisoner. They had probably five minutes venation with him. Soon Friday morning, upon the assembling of the Mr. McCorkle, of counsel for the prisoner, asked the court that the prisoner might be conducted to private place that the attorneys consult with him. This request was granted, but the coart stated that there were but two rooms in which this might be done, the ono the grand jury which that body was engaged, and the petit jury room in which a jury was then discussing wether another negro had been guilty of steal ing a bushel of corn. Both rooms ing occupied, this could not he done present, as the grand jnry did not joorn at all that day, and the petit jnry labored until late upon the sub ject of the bushel of corn, until the prisoner's case was called that his counsel had an opportunity consulting the prisoner. Then Messrs. Wilkinson and McCorkle retired with him to the petit jnry room, the court kindly granting them a few minutes time. Col. Hinton remained in room. At the expiration few minutes the court called the ease again, and said “Gentlemen, I have an announcement in this i Col. Hinton (rising and buttoning his court closely around him, and ‘Your Honor shall be accommodated. I shall make an announcement moment. Mr. Sheriff, recall Messrs.

Many set themselves aside for cause. Only one of the many questioned, and an old man tottering upon the brink his grave, declared he was opposed capital punishment. The jury wi attained, and the trial proceeded. Dr. Smith testify to the death and ie cause of the death of the deceased. Doc. Murray, colored testified that talking to Mr. Tondee when killed, that they were discussing Orny Black, a negro woman with whom Mr. Tondee had endeavored to have a liaton that night, and had fail ed. John Black testified that he was the husband of Orny Black aud that had had a conversation with ihe defendant some time before in which •ss had upbraided the Defend ant for following after his wifo and the prisoner had denied it, and had told, him that Stonewall Tondee i. He said on cross examination that he did not suspect, nor did he have reason to suspect, Mr. Tondoe with ever having connection with his wife, but that he did believe tho pris- had. Young Anting, agod fifteen, testified that he had seen the Defendant the night of the murder in Ellaville abontf^ 1< o’clock, that the mnrder took place abont 11 o’clock and that he had heard him speaking to a stranger, and that he said, “I intend to have satisfaction out of some man to-night if last thing I do.” He saw defendant about 8 o’clock but had A negro woman testified that she had seen defendant at her house the day the murder, 4 ‘about half an hour by and that she had asked him for some tobacco, that he had on no coat all. Peter Cockrell colored, fled that he had seen a man in Ellaville that night abont 8 o’clock, whom he believed to be the defendant, who had a brown coat, and was in the shad ow of one of the stores, and had a gun. On cross examination he admitted that that time he did not conclude it defendant, but did so after he had been arrested for the murder, that he was present at the corroncr’s jury quest, but that he did not testify. Babe Jackson testified that two months before the homicide, the defen dant had said to her, “If Orney Black 't do me any good, she shan’t le Tondee any, ’fer I am going kill him if it is the last act of my life. As she testified on cross examination she looked down and trembled like said she had not been sworn at the inquest, and that she had told nu.one this but Solicitor Hudson and Mr. Tondee. Mr. Hamilton Cockrell testified that he had examined the tracks patch in the rear of Mr. Carter’s store and that he had tracked them to a gin house where he found the impress of man’s form and of a gun. That these tracks were the tracks of the prisoner. Mr. Cockrell entertained and edified the jury with an imitation and illus tration of the manner in which Charles Blackman stood when he fired the shot. Col. W. H. McCrory, testified about tracks in general and the track of Chas. Blackman in particular. It v opinion that the tracks found cotton patch were those of the man who had hideously cut a yearling his a year before, and he had believed to be Chas. Blackman. Here the State closed. The defendant introduced no dence. Indeed, some of his most portant witnesses! were absent, went upon the stand and made statement, as follows: - “Gentlemen, did not kill Mr. Tondee, I am as inno- if it as the Angels in Heav- I never threatened Mr. Tondee’ life to Babe Jackson, or any one else.’ Thus was the testimony in the closed. NOW BEGAN THE ARGUMENT. The defendant introducing no dence was entitled to the opening the conclusion.’ The coart kindly lowed all three of the counsel for prisoner to speak. The argument opened by B. H. Wilkinson, Esq. " yonng man was sdmitted to the bar the last term of Schley court, and came back to make one of his speeches, in one of the that has ever occurred Georgia. Mr. Wilkinson’s speech brief, not over fifteen minutes tion. He devoted most of his time asking the jnry to throw aside p dice and suspicion and to decide question according to the law, and the evidence. He commended to the ‘ the grand example of Daniel Webster, he rode through the streets of ~ a in 1850, a tumultuous mob ped him, with howls and execrations upon him for what they assumed treason and change ot sentiment. 8aid Webster drawing himself to foil height. “Yon have conquered sterile soil, yon have conquered an u congenial clime, yon have oonqnered the winds and currents of the ocean, you have conquered most of the meats of nature, but you have yet conquer your prejudices.
