READ WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.
Among the vast improvements of the present
times the change in remedies is not the least rare
portrait. Formerly ridiculous and often injurious
mixtures were administered upon the recommen
dation of one person to another, or from ou-
family to another, as being “good” for such and
such a complaint, while they were, in fact, use
less or worse. Now, Prof, Kayton supplies the

eral snjquise at it. 1 diu not know that ; grandmothers gave, wehave the cunning invon-
he had said so.]
Question. Do you know what the word
“dictate” means?
Answer. Not exactly, sir.
Question. Did Whitley ever name any per
son to you, and tell you that you should make
an accusation against them in regard to the
murder of Ashburu?
Answer. I don’t think ho did.
Question. Didn’t you make the statement
to him voluntarily implicating the parties in
regard to whom you have testified here ?
Answer. I did, sir. He never held out any
inducements to me. He talked to me only as
a friend.
Question. Did he ever advise you, or sug
gest to you, to bring an accusation against any
particular person ?
Answer. No. sir.
Question. What did you say when Whitley
told you that you had sworn that the Marx s
were at the killing ?
Answer. I said I could not. identify them,
or 1 would not; 'I don’t know which.
Questiou. Did you say anything about liis
dictating or giving the names, or words to that
effect ?
Answer. I don’t recollect, sir.
A. G. Bennett testified he was in the house
with Ashburu the night he was killed, and
They were mentioned, but I
lect who mentioned them. There were
several talking. I suppose these several
persons were talking about these dates.
(Witness here named the parties)
The conversation took place outside on
the piazza of this building. I don’t re
collect anything being said about any
thing else. 1 believe I would have re
collected the date even if it had not been
so stated. I would recollect it from priv
ate business with a gentleman in Colum
bus. I am not positive as to which of the
two days; I think it was either on Thurs
day or Friday. I don’t think the words
“Thursday or Friday” were mentioned in
the conversation this morning. I have
been acquainted with Duke three years.
I bad no conversation with him farther
than to ask him where he was going. I
first remembered that, after the death of
Ashburu, when I heard of Duke’s arrest.

the great importance of the approaching cam

and untiring activity, that all lovers of true
liberty be invited to co-operate with this Chib
in endeavoring to drive the originators and tools
of despotism from authority, and re-establish
and preserve inviolate the rights of the States
and the Constitution of the Union.
After the reading and adoption of this report
Col Wright, who was present.,arose and accept
ed the position, although he had wished some
one else had been selected for the place. He
also urged the members to activity and asked
their hearty co-operation.
It was also Resolved. That every man in the
comity who opposed Radicalism was consider
ed a member without formal enrollment.
The Newnan Herald was requested to pub

TESTIMONY OF MRS. EMILY DUKE.
I have resided in Meriwether county
since about last Christmas a year ago. I
lived before that in Gerard. That is in
Alabama, across the river from Columbus
Wm. Duke, the prisoner, is my son. He
resided where I live now. He went with
me to Columbus for a couple of weeks-
but he came back with me when I return
ed. He came Lome about the 26th of
March last. Mr. Abner came with him.
They traveled by buggy. I think it was
Thursday, but I would not be positive—
it was Thursday or Friday. He only
staid all night with us. He went to his
brother’s next day. I think be returned
home on Sunday. William left home
about the last day of April, and got to
Columbus the 1st of May. When he
was at home he slept in the room 1 did.
lie was there Monday and Monday night.
It was on the 1st day of May that he
went with me to Columbus, We live
forty miles from Columbus.
Cross-Examined.—I first heard of
the murder the Wednesday after it hap
pened. I did not hear my son’s name
mentioned in connection with the uiur
The President said that the prisoners i der but a little while before they came
should not leave their seats without per-1 after pj e was arrested at the shop
mission. ! % here he was working. It was close to
borhood of the murder by persons
who said it was committed on the
30th ol March. I think it was last Thurs
day a week ago that Duke was arrested.
I don’t remember the day my neighbor
was arrested—I did not charge my memo
ry with the date of A’s murder. I was
in the habit of going frequently to the
shop in which he worked. He was at
home in the first of March. I don’t
know when he left home to go to Colum
bus. They pass back and forward fre
quently—the family does. I do not know
how long he was absent at any one time.
I frequently had work done at the shop.
He was at home iu February but not in
the first of March. 1 don’t recollect how
long he was absent at any one time. I
don’t recollect whether he was at home
all of February or not. When he came
home before Ashburn’s murder, he was
brought home by Abner.
To Mr. Stephens—I was notsubpoenaed;
I have not had one yet. I got notice of
it from a gentleman who came from here
We have talked about the arrest—the
neighbors talked about it. I have been
in LaGrange last week. I was asked by
two gentlemen there about it.
TESTIMONY OF J. T. WOODWARD.
I am a farmer. I live in Meriwether
county. I know William Duke (identifi
ed prisoner). I live in Meriwether coun
ty. I live about a mile anil half from
his father’s house. I saw him on the
27th, 28th, 30th and 31st of March and
1st of April. He was in his father’s
house on 27th. It was soon in the even
ing. He was at the shop on the 28th.—
These were Friday and Saturday. I saw
him on Monday, 30th, at his father’s,
late in the evening. I saw him at his
father’s early on the morning of the 31st
March. The house where I saw him is
40 miles from Columbus. I first heard
of the murder the 2d day of April, at the
'shop. There was an old gentleman then
up there from two or three miles below,
who told me about it. I also heard it
from a young gentleman who had come
from LaGrange.
Cross-Examined—I heard first that
he was connected with the murder of A.
when he was arrested I cannot recollect
the day he was arrested, because I was
not at home. I think he was arrested on
Thursday or Friday ; I won’t be certain ;
Thursday I think. I cannot tel! what
day of the month that was. It interested
me to know that my neighbor was charg
