After the witnesses had been sworn and
put under the rule, the State, represented
by Mr. W. Dessau and Judge George T.
Bartlett, put upon the stand Mr. LaFay-
ette Balkcom, who testified in substance,
as follows: u.
I know the prisoner; (pointing lnm out)
I knew Solomon Roberts; he was killed
last Saturday week, the 13th of March, in
the city of Macon, on Third street, at .the
mouth of the alley between Cannon &
Co.’s and Burke’s store. He was killed
by Bud Roberts. At the time of the kil
ling they were between the two sidewalks
opposite the alley. Bad was facing me;
could see his right side and
face over Sol’s shoulder (here describes
his own and other parties positions). Bud
came up before the shooting and motion
ed to Sol, saying, “I want to see you.”
Sol handed his brother Jack his umbrella,
put his bauds in his pockets and followed
Bud to mouth of alley. Bud said, “I un
derstood”—the balance I "did not hear.
When they reached the mouth of alley
Bud squared himself around and they be
gan to talk. They talked quietly; saw
Bad draw round with his right arm back;
(illustrating) Sol stretched out his left
hand saying, “don’tl don’t!”. Just then
the pistol fired; he staggered forward, and
fell, twisting over on his left side as he
struck, and then rolling over with face up;
a pistol fell and lay at his left side; Bud
ran off. (Here follows description of his
own actions). Not more than a minute
had elapsed between time Bud called Sol.
aside before the shot was fired; Sol was
killed by the shot; died in fifteen minutes.
Bud had both hands in his pants pockets
when he came up; Sol. put his in when
he walked aside; gave Jack umbrella to
hold; don’t know why; Sol was about six
feet high and weighed 190 or 200 pounds;
Bud weighs 140 or loOp don’t know- that
he is sickly; called Sol off quietly; my at
tention was first attracted by way Bud
came up and Sol went off; could not un
derstand conversation; didn’t see Sol’s
pistol drawn; if he had it in front of him,
could not have seen it; Bud’s came from
his right pocket; motion of drawing and
firing was very quick; Sol grabbed toward
it with left hand; was,waking side sted
forward; Bud’s pistol was a self-cocker;
don’t know what Sol’s was; don’t know
whetherilre drew;don’t think ho could have
drawn it after he was shot. . ■ ;'
Mr. Jackson Roberts, brother of de
ceased, testified in accordance with mate
rial facts of above, and the State closed
the case. M ,.
Mr. James Whitehurst was then intro
duced for defense, and testified in sab-
stance as follows:
Was coming out of Wall street. opposite
the alley. Saw deceased and defendant

ing down the street toward Burke’s store;
Bud wa3 facing him. Sol was. advancing
and Bud retreating. Thought they were

over as he fell. The other mad was. step

he reached edge of walk on Burke’s .sitto,.
The tall man had on a coat or cloak; hjq.
left hand was extended and, left side to
ward me; the pistol (or, whatever it wa?)
was in other lrand. 1 was aqross street
coming down.the alley (Wall strept.). -
Mr. ~ Whitehurst was cross-examined
with great-strictness,-but the above is in
substance, as before Stated,The sum of

At the closeof services, the body, under
escort of the Volunteers, and followed by
one of the largest processions ever seep ip
the streets of our city, was borne to the
old burying grounds below the.city, and
laid away under the pines to rest; bat ere
the company parted forever with old
“Bengy,” they fired a salute for the dead,
above his grave, rendering to .him the
same honor, which for more than half x
century they have rendered to their own
members whom death has laid low**,•,
The action of this company is s.remark
able event in its annals and a* significant
one in the annals of Southern society.
While the Radical press of the North, and
its few representatives throughout pur sec
tion, are doing what they can to foster x
spirit of bitterness between whites and
blacks; while nearly every paper we read,
brings to light new slanders,and misrepre
sentations of the relations between the two
races, here in the heart of the South, we
behold a company of gentlemen hastening
to render to its faithful
servant honors identical with,
those they have paid to the proudest
in the land. What a picture! And it was -
an honor paid through no sense of duty
alone. Almost simultaneously through
out the company, wa3 expressed the desire
to render it. Men who had not donned
the uniform for years camq^forward. ypl-
nutarily and shouldered ’their muskets
once more. The tribute laid, at the feet
of the dead, was manhood’s triimte to
manhood, and the quick rendering of
which, honored alike the living and the
dead. The old soldier has passed away
forever. In his dying words he told his
life’s history—let U3 write them on his
tomb: “I have fought a good fight for my
country and my God and I am ready to
go.” a[> y .
Another Shooting- Case. i ■>.
Mulberry street about half past twelve
o'clock yesterday,' .was somewhat star
tled by the report of two pis
tol * shots, and the hurried exit
of several people from- the Lanier
House bar. After the smoke of battle
had cleared away, a reporter for the Tel
egraph and Messenger dropped in to
ascertain the extent of damages, when it
was found, that fortunately; nothing Very
serious had been accomplished. A diffi
culty, we learned, had occurred between
Col. John B. Cummings and Mr. Bruninj,
who keeps the bar in the house named, in
which Mr. Bruninj had fired two shots
from a revolver at Colonel Cummings, one
of which pierced his hat brim, ploughed
Along through the back of a heavy coat,
and lodged under the left shoulder of the
same without drawing blood; The other
shot produced a slight flesh wound to the
hand; .’- iwaoiv p ”” ’ ” 31 *’"*’•

New York, March 21.—About 3,000
of the locked-out piano makers held a
meeting to-day at "Wendell’s assembly
room, and listened to several speeches, the
tenor of which was that they should keep
firm and stand out against the employers
until the latter agreed to their terms. Ex-
Assemblyman John W. Browning ad
dressed the meeting, contending that
man’s labor was as much his own as any
article of merchandise, and he had the
-option to charge high or low. If the Stein
way men made an appeal for higher wa
ges, he saw no reason why other manufac
turers should combine and forma lock

miloand a.,quarter, from the start, it
seemed as if tbeywould row right away,
but the spifrt' had told upon Cambridge,
who began to row short. They, hpwever,
maintained the lead to Hammersmith

“H. W. G.”-keeps lip Ms- daily AuHXde
by wire from New York, occasionally
hitting the target, but generally shooting
wildly. His dipatehes are always
gestive, however, nrt to say ingenkms.
We quote from the last to the Constitu
tion, underrate of Mard» 18tb* as follows:
Colonel Cole left yesterday for Nash
ville, and will shortly call his djieqtors
together and placo his immediate resigna
tion in their hands. The business Upon
which he and Mr. Newcomb were en
gaged In New York has been satisfactorily
adjusted and results ui the formal trans
fer of the St, Louis, Southeastern, Owens
boro and Evansville roads to the' Louis-
viHe company. It b said that Cotoftel
Cole will give his attention to iron inter
ests in Tennessee. - : s ii ImxDotoalxi
The Georgia Western project Is still in
tbe front. White Mr. Newcomb amf Mr.
Wilson have made no definite trade that
can be discovered, it is certain that they
are simply awaiting events before com
mitting themselves openly, reports to the
contrary notwithstanding. Messrs. Wil
son ahd McGhee are ready and willing to
aid actively, in the building of the Geor
gia Western whenever they an? satisfied
that their aid will build it. This may be
relied on and I violate no confidence in
saying as much, or I *m even justified in
saying that propositions are pending con
sidering the pooling of .the Macon and
.Brunswick extension and!' the Georgia
Western in one scheme, 1 and putting out a
joint bond, thus making a route from' the
west to Brunswick. T aps aware that it is
attempted to keep this, secret and disavow
it, but a short time will show that my in
formation is correct, and at the 'proper
time I can give my authority. If the
building of the Georgia Western is once
determined on, as 1 believe it will be in a
few days, the alliance will be made plain
enough. Until then there are plain
enough reasons why-both Mr: Wilson and
Mr. Ngwcpjuj.V shom^ disavpw.it..
It is too soon, pending no defiqitq action
whatever in the premises, to discuss the
effect of the proposed alliance of the Lqijy
