J have not known John Hooper intimately;; I have been acquainted with the family a long time: I have never known Johnnie Hooper’s character brought iu queston; I have lived here for twelve months; I came indirectly from Auborn to this pb.ee; I think I know his general character, as to his morality and peace fulness, it is good; I have known the stan ding of Miss Barnett about four years; there is no family stood higher; I thiok I know her general character: she has always been re ceived in the best society; she has two sisters; her mother is a widow; she has neither father or hi other; her general character is good; the Hooper family is also a highly re spectable family; I do not know whether he Lad been married or not; I did not see the knife at the instant it was taken from his l>ocket: I saw the knife in another man’s hand: it was open: I was present when Mr. Edwards was taking the things out of his pocket; I did not see the knife until one of the persons put it into another man’s hand. [The witness was shown a knife which he says looks like the knife in question.] The sheriff, or some one else, told them to examine his pockets; they did not turn him over to examine them; I saw them putting their hands into his right pants pocket, alter some of the things were taken from his pocket: I was squatting down near his head when they first examined him; a ring was drawn around Mr. Phillips by order of the sheriff, and no one allowed to approach the body but the jurors and the physicians; I don’t think it was exceeding one-half minute from the time they com menced examining the pockets until I saw the knife in some one’s hands, open: I was only partially acquainted with Mr. Phillips; I think he would weigh about 175 or 180 pounds: he was rather short aud muscular; I may be mistaken about his size; this is my estimate. lie-examined—I am certain this is the knife; it looks like it: other pockets, I think, were examined; I can't say that the knife was taken from the right pocket: the kuite is a common barlow knife: it has one blade.

I did not in tend to go the same road with them. I passed them in front of Mr. Adams’s house ; I did not see them, but beard them talking : it was in lront of Mr. Adams’s lot ; the dirt road runs between Mr. Adams’s house and the rail road; it was not after dark, but thick dusk : I sometimes leave work between suDset and dark—nearer sundown than dark ; I suppose it might have been twenty minutes after sun down, it might have been more or less ; I do not know how far the bridge is ’from [Adams’ house, it might have been one-fourth of a mile, more or less ; I got to the crossing just before they got there ; I suppose they were about ten steps from me; 1 met a man on the dirt road and talked with him four or five minutes about the road to Auburn; I looked down the road and saw them coming: I had no purpose in looking back: I do not know whether they saw me or not; they could have done so; 1 can’t say how far from Adams; 1 met one man on horseback; it was between Adams’ and the brickyard crossing; I have never spoken to the lady; 1 know it was the same lady with Hooper that 1 saw when I took some provisions to her mothers house upon one occasion; it was 6ome time during the summer or full that I carried some pro visions to the house; I know that I carried some provisions to the widow Burnett, but did not know the young lady was her daughter; I have lived where I now do since last January: previous to that time near Mullin's Mineral Spring; did not know that Mrs. Barnett lived where she does until I carried her the provis ions; it was summer or fall, it was warm weather; I carried some meat aud flour and other things; I placed them in the house; I heard her aud the widow Barnett talking; did not understand what was said between them; they were standing in the door about ten or 12 feet from me; I was that near them: I asked if I should put the things on the verandah; she told me to do so, aud turned and went back to the wagon; I think I did not swear a while ago “that I had heard the conversation i between Mrs. Burnett and the girl, but did not understand what wnssaid:" butl think I swore I heard Mrs. Barnett and understand what she said, bnt did not understand what [the girl said: Mrs. Barnett turned to er end a bioom; ^ ten or * twelve feet oil; Barnett was standing sorter between Lour high; between sunset and dark: think I me and the girl: they were both standing in Idnek, they repassed me; they came on ahead the door, the young lady hieing toward me of me to the railroad: I took the Auburn road and Mrs. Barnett between us: 1 was standing and they took the railroad; I never saw them from that time until I saw them coming np the vailrcad at the bridge at the brick vara; previous to this time I heard Mr. Hooper say to the lady. (The testimony here is unfit for publication.) This was about all that I heard at that time. This was in the country about a half or three quarters of a mile from her home; they came through the woods right out through where I was at work; there was no road nor path. On the night of the election Mr. Hooper and I was passing; I asked him the name of the young lady; he replied, “Miss Barnett,” aud added that the evening he passed me, (here the testimony is also unfit publication.

Your correspondent proposes to give you, briefly, the case of the affair which took place here day before yesterday. We give it from the substance of testimony as brought out on the preliminary examination. On the 12th instant a train of cars stopped near Newnan, at or near “the bridge,” where there was a water tank and a woodyard. One of the men (a colored man) was throwing and the lady, and • wood up to a colored man on the tender of was the the traiu th« n stopping for wood aud water, uld j The one on the train as wood passer did not not have thus sworn unless I thought it to be | “rack up” the wood thrown os rapidly as the true; I don’t think I would have sworn it uu- | one who was pitching thought right; and in less I knew it to be true; I know I would : a friendly way said to him (on the tender) swear the truth to the best of my knowledge; you are the laziest nigger I ever saw”—where- I know that I would not have sworn it unless or j I knew it to be true to the best of my knowl edge; both statements are true to tno best of my recollection: I did not see the parties alter they came on the railroad fiom the Au burn road until they came to the crossing, which is a half mile, more or less; I have no idea how long it would take to walk a half mile; I never noticed particularly the horse or man; don’t how the man looked, nor the color of the horse; the man was going toward Au burn; it was between Adams’house and the crossing; don’t know which was the nearest; upon the one so accosted threw a stick of wood at the one on the “way.” The latter, in the same friendly spirit said don’t throw another stick at me—but as the first party took a large rough stick of wood and hurled it at the prisoner, the latter “pitched” a stone (we use the words of Stalis, witness) at deceased. The stone was a flat one and would weigh about a pound and a quarter. The main witness for the prosecu tion says that he believes the result entirely unpremeditated; and that tho rock was thrown without any intention to kill. As we have I was on the dirt road when I heard the con- j stated, the* rock was a small quasi-granite versation; I don’t recollect whether I said , stone; and the flat part of the rock struck the house or not, bnt think I said lot; the lot is 1 deceased (while he had his hands on tho third enclosed now. but do not recollect whether it; stick of wood to throw at defendant), on the was then or not; it was right close to the left side of the temple, (a little below) and house, between the house and the railroad; il near the ear. As soon as struck, deceased was close to the railroad; close to the bank of dropped upon his knees and fell over on his the railroad; at this particular spot I don’t back dead. The prisoner then went off I think it was more than five steps from the into the woods aud remained there edge of the road to tho railroad; it might be : until the signal from the train I more or less; can’t say what part of the road I to move off; when he came back aud got on j was in; I havo no idea how far it was far from the train, which backed down to the station, I Jack Adams’house; it might or it might not ! and there the defendant was arrested.
