The Evidence fee ‘be Ataie—Testi
mony for the Defense Partly In.
Yesterday tbe evidence in the care
against; Mr. Gibscn, was entered upon.
At the opening of tbo Court tbo presi
ding Jadgo suggested the propriety of
a suppression of the evidence from the
public prints of this city, requesting
it and intimating that if such a course
was not pursued he would be constrained
to take measures for it* suppression,
intimating that tbe Oonrt bad authority
for so doing. We prosent the evidence
merely a* news in response lo a general
dutire on tbe part of our resder* tones i:»
and when it is taken by onr own reporter
independently of the offioi&l record of tbe
oonrt we tbiok w# neve a pnifuot right to
lay it before onr readers.
The ossa increases in interest.

L. P. Askew testified as FoIIowf: I live
ia tbe citj; identified tbe prisoner. J
knew Coleman; taw bim on the night of
November 33; he H dea>?; saw him id
troot of Chinan’* at one time, and in
front of Valentino’s restaarant at another;
A. F. Giboon, tbe defendaut, was there,
und Mr. Bnrgbard, Daughtry and my
self; I was standing there wlta Mr. Gib
son, and Mr. Borghard and Coleman
came up; Gtb&on bailed bim, and asked
who ia that? Coleman replied, a friend;
GibBoa said, stand back, don't come, but
be came toward him, and Gibson said re
peatedly hot to come tsward me, “chat it
was loaded and cocked”; ho bad a pistol
In his hand, pointed toward Coleman. It
was cocked when Bnrgbard came op;
when my attention waB first called to
Coleman he was fifteen foec distant, on
the edge o’ the sidewalk; my attention
wss attracted by Gibson faying who is
that, and pointed his pistol toward him,
and kept tho pistol pointed toward him
all the time; 1 said not to eboot bim, be
was drunk; when Gibson spoke to nim
Coleman turned hie back and throw up
bis coat and said he was not armed.
Witness turned and* showed tbe jar;
tha manner, throwing his coat abant bis
hips. v
then Coleman turned rennd, ran his
band inhiap'ck-t and said, ‘‘let’* all of
ns take a drink;” 1 have money enough to
pay tor them; I heard silver change rat
tle in bis pocket; be was distant five or
six feet; Gibson fired almost instantly
wneu he shot Coleman doubled up. and
another shot wa? fired by Gibsou while
he wss in that position; when the second
shot was fired I left; ono or two more
shots were fired; the next time I saw
Coleman was at HulTs corner, about
75 feet irons wbero tbe firing was
dom; he wan picked up wocn I
got there; I went with him to tha Issao
House; ho lived a few day ; 1 first saw
Gibson wten I was erorsiog Cherry strurt,
coming across from Bier’a to Huff's cor
ner; toy attention was oJled to bim by
Mr. Bnrgbard; I did not sea uny pistol
tbei; Idou’i know whare Bui guard if
be is in Fioridt 1 presume.
Colonel Whittle moved to rule oat that
“Barghatd is in Florida.”
The Court—Ha said he did cot know
whora bo was; when last beard or he was
in F.orida. You can rale oat if jun want
to. Baled out.
Mr. HarghlrJ h»s been awiy several
mouth’. He was not at tbe other trial.
When bo left he woof to Florida,
heard this from his brother. Bated oat;
My attention was call.'d to Air. Gibson;
1 saw a gentlemsu going up Cherry street.
1 was nut certain then it was Gibson ; I
think the moon was shining at the cor
ner ; I walked diagonally across the
street to where I met him. Gibson
was standing in tbe entrance of Balaton
Hall, ou tbe left aide with bu pistol out;
it was then only a very sboit time before
licr«harit cam's up; it was about two
mum aa ; it won a Vary short time before
we saw Colemun. Colsmao came on the
sidewalk; ♦ icre «n s light from tbe
r3‘<Un>antwicdOiv and from the aide door.
<j. Wben Coleman fits: O ims np was
bo ia the light 7 [Intennpted by thd
oonrt. 1
I did not see him distinctly wtmn ho
first came np until be got in the light,
then I recognized him an the same man
who we saw at Ullman’s. We, (Gibson
and mysell) could eeo him distinctly
when ho allowed that ho had tie or ms.
When Coleman come up bie hand* were
down by hie aide, that is wben I first saw
him plainly. When he got in the light
they were down by hie side. He threw
bis hands in front of him, thus, (showing
the jury, extending both hands with el
bows at the side and palms upward.
By tbe Solicitor—Wnas did he sxy
then 7
Tbe Court—Qo hoe already answered
that.
Toe pistol was fired when C.’a bind was
in his ngbt bund pants pock t, if I re
collect r:gntly;-I did not sea Coleman all
tbe while; bu was to the light; I was
ta king to Mr. Gibion; 1 was nearest to
GibiiOu; Gibeoo was drank. I was and
am very friendly with bim.
The Coart interrupted at this point,
saying tbe evidence must be lo the issue
in lbs direct examination. Ill failing is
net pretamed. Tbo onlv issas for evi
dence are .he charges in the indiotment.
What weapon did Colsman have 7
Tho Court—That ie no: in lame. Yon
mas: draw lbs distmotion.
Tois shooting ccra'red oa the night of
the 3d of November.
Thu S ato then turned Ihe witness over
to Ihe defense.
TnecrosB elimination was conducted
by Col. L. N. Whittle. The transactions
of that eveningiare firmly impressed ex
cept aa to whit Gibioa said about draw
ing a pistol, I am not refreshing m»
memory from newspapers. I glanctd
over tne evidence last night. 1 have
read tho Articles ia the Txx.xanApa iw
MsaSXNGBk.
Have yru cot heard it discoursed from
the pulpit 7
Interrupted. Colonel Whittle explain
ed that be wi-hed to show that some of
the imprsosioDS of the witness were
mixed up with newspaper accounts and
p alpit discourses until bis memory was
not a* duunot r s it had been.
Tbe Court—If be says tnat hie memo
ry has been refreshed from reeding tbe
tvidenoe I think he oan give it in that
way. Objection sun lined.
1 think 1 would have recollected t e
statements I have testified to, even if
had not read the newspapers or heard e
discourses from the pntpitand from oth.r
sources; I live in tbe upper part of tbe
city, about a half mile from vtere tba
event took place; Ic was, I think, the
Sunday sacueeding tbe State Fair ; I am
not po itive whether I wss down town oa
Soutlay morning or cot; I was down
(own at 2 or 3 o’clock in tne afternoon.
Witness stated where he had been dur
ing the afternoon; did hot think he bad
been to Valentino’* but once.
I had not drank any whisky. Hid
not drank any whisky in two years be
fore this event.
By tbe defense—Were you not at Kil
patricks?
By the Court—Suppose yon asked him
if b* gazed in the moan on a certain day
and bs said no, wbat bearing ha* that on
tbe question.
Col. Wnittle—I want to show that hi*
memory is west and defective.
By the Oonrt—Taat would bs attack
ing a question cot miteris! to tbe is
sue. You must show some authority.
I first saw Colemin at dark at Cilmsu’e
three-quarters of an hour before tbe
shooting, I suppose. He was trying to
get in.
Tne location of Ullman’s was diseribed.
He did no get m at Ullman’*. Bor-
ghard asked Coleman wbat he w»s trying
to do. Neither Bsrghard or I knew
Coleman before. We walked to HcfF*
corner and went np to Valentino’*. Cole
man cime in immediately after. Cole
man stopped in aod called for wbirky. X
shook my head at tbo barkeeper,
ho looked drank. Coleman
took a drink I supposed to bo
water; this was about a half hour before
too euootisg; I don't know how long we
remained tnere; when we walked ou:
half over the street my attention was
.a.led to (iiii.-or: Coleman was near to
ne; this was perhaps twenty or thirty
minutes before tbe ehooting, or
may be leer; my attention was
called to Gibran, and I w-nt
diagonally across the street to him: when
we left Valentino’s wu went to Huff's cor
ner and went eoroes to Basr’a. I don’t
think I hid bren to Spark’s corner that
day.uor as far down as Seymour’* corner.
We went about half way across Cherry
street. Bnrgbard said: ‘‘There goes
one-armed Gibscn with his pistol oac.
He'd jost ss eoon ehcot us as any b)dy.”
Colonel Whittle demonstrated tbe po
sition of partita by a diagram, which
wa* verified by witness.
X looted toward Huff’s corner going to
ward Vabntino’*. I saw a gentleman
turning tha oorner. Tho moan bus
shining oa him just as Burghard spoke.
I said. ‘‘I will go and look after him ”
Bn’ghard spoke so as anyone oaall
have heard it to Bsei’s coroei; Golem in
heard every word; I took tbe Bbortest
cut toward bim to intercept him at Valen
tino's; Gibson was standing on the stone
sill to the entrance of Bilston Hdl tight
la tbe door on tbe left side; hs wai very
drank; I don’t know whether be wai so
drunk that be could not stand; don't re
collect whether be was leaning again,t
the side of tho doorwaj; he seemed to
be t:n»hing tbe wall; b* stood right there
all tbe time; bo may bar* bad tb* pistol
poioting in this position, (showing tbo
jury;) did cot elevate tbs pi-ioi;
I told IGibson who I was, snd tha:
seemed to satisfy him; have always been
on friendly termi with him; G.brau
drank a great deal; be has spell, of
drinking; I bate known him lo remain
sober eiRht months ; I hive known him
to be sick from sprees; when bo is drink
ing I don’t think he knows what be is
doing, especially when ho is as drank as
be was that night; insuy are afraid uf
aim, but I bad no fear about bim;
I had itflaenca over him; I don’t know
of but two others, his brother and Mr.
O G. Sparks, who cenld go to and in
fluence bim; Burghard was frieudly with
(Jibson far as I know; I wont up to him;
he was standing on the floor at the en
trance of Balaton Uali; I was a low inch
es r-ther back cf lin; wben Bur-
gbard came up Gibson pointed his pistol
a: him; I said that is young Burghard,
and that seemed to satisfy him ; I think
there were some barrels in tha way of
.crossing directly across from tho middle
of Cherry street, whore we wore stand
ing; I think I went above the bar
rel!; then Coleman came direotly
after us step by step. We had no con
versation, Burghard and myself, aatil
wo got to Gtbsoa. Coleman could have
heard everything that passed. Coleman
was standing erect when my attention
was first called to him ; Gibson was about
fifteen feet from Coleman wben be first
spoke; Coleman wss iu front of bim;
Oibson asked who that was; Culomau
bad stopped when I first eaw bim; when
Oibson spoke Coleman started toward
him and said, '*a friend;” he got five or
six feet from him when Gibson fire!..
Coleman bad qa a dark suit, and, I think,
an overcoat—a heavy long coat, not au
ulster, an ordinary ooat.if he had 039 oo.
Gibran said, who is that? and the answer
was, a friend; Gibson said don’t corns to
me; hu warned bim to stand bick.sayicg
she is all loaded and cocked, referring to
his pistol; Coleman was then in tea feet,
and staggered toward him; he again warn
ed him, und ho still continued toward
Gibson; Coleman ran bis hand in his
pocket, X think when Gib.,on fired; Cols
man was rather a stout man.
By Mr. Whittle—Was Coleman’s mia-
ner sufficient to excite tne fears of
reHsouablo man?
Objected to by tho Solicitor.
A abort argument ensued.
Col. Whittle then, by permission of th.
court, went np and bed a few remarks
with the witness on the stand.
The question was then withdrawn. When
I jus: went np Gibson bad hi* pistol
cooked, pointing at Barghaul. He w,a
standing with his bick against tbe door,
pointing across my body. Burgluird
could see pistol; it waerigbt at bim.
Colemai could see it. Mr. Gibson did
not conceal it. Coleman must have
seed the pistol. Git son£5 could:
have shot him wben be turned and threw
up bis cost; when be threw np Lis ccat
and eaid be was not a msd Gib ..ip n«id
ntand back; be may have said stand
bick. joa aro trying io draw; I was not
looking at Coleuiin all tbe t:m-; X pus
my band oa Gibson’s sbonlder, tun one
next to ms; I did not hear Gibson say
yon on. attempting to draw—or take
yon; hsud off yonr pistol; I was right at
him, aod might bava heard it if it was
said.
By the Court—Yoa were right ?-t him
A—Yes.
I told him not to ehoot. I did not hear
bim say, "stand bick. yon 6—of u
you are trying to shoot me.” I did not
tell Mr. A. W. Gibson that I would tea
tify that. T'bat is not a part of my evi.
dcr.cc. I did not tell Maj. A. W. Gibson
anything of the sort in tbe rear of Wax-
elbatnn's store, nor n few days before
tbe trial, at a certain part of the city, did
I feli Msjor Gibson that hia brother had
said those words.
By Mr. Whittle—What did yon mean
by ills answer on your former examina
tion, ‘‘My mind has been steady ou alt
tbe uoints except tha drawing of the pis
tol 7”
Tbe Conrt read from the report cf iho
Tsbxanai'B and Messbkqbu, and M-.
Askew said in explanation tbat he did cot
hear him say th* words, you are attempt
ing to draw a pistol ; 1 am in doubt *3
to tbit; my recollection now is tbat I do
not thiok X beard bim say it; he might
have said it, bat I did not hear biro ; it
was Bmgbaid who said, there goes oue-
armed Gibson ; be would just ua noon
shoot ns as anybody rise.
IS BXBCTTAI*.
Tbis was seven or eight o'olook;
at night; Mr. Gibs.ra turned the oorner
into tbe shadow and I could not see cow
ho walked; sites he is drunk he does not
stagger much; Coleman wsa on tho'edge
of the sidewalk next to the street; he
was standing on the edge, in a very few
inches of it; Mr. Gibsan pointed the pis
tol oat from him; I don't know whether
it was straight out; he changed the posi
tion tbe pistol was in before Coleman
came np; I was closest to Gibson; I did
not hear bim say anything about “you
are trying to draw, etc.I slid ‘’doa’t
shoot, bs is a» drunk as be can be," be-
c«nse I saw Coleman in the restaurant;
Valentino’s is a public place; 1 was no:
order the influence of liquor; Air. Gibson
and I was friendly then and are friendly
now.
Interrupted by the court.
Mr. Solicitor—That is not new matter.
I did not see Coleman attempt to draw
anything. When I heard the ilirer
change rattle in hts packet, he' was
within five or eix feet of GitBoe. X heard
the remark of Colemin; Gibsan was close
enough to hear it. Burghard snd I were
in Valentino’* before tbe ehoiting. We
went out before Coleman. We went half
eoroes the street. Colemin was staggering;
be was drank; it was before tbat that 1
saw him at Utlniib’e; it was olossd;
Valentino's side door was open; Cole
man said I have enough ;to pay for
drinks; tho shooting followed and noth
ing more was said; Coleman was facing
Gibson, his head a little turned to -one
aid-; he s’aggsred toward him; he was
five or six feet off, when he raised hia
kandiin front of bim (witness showing ju
ry with palms np and elbows at his eidr),
he soon after turned end threw up hts
cos'; Gibson seemed mcoh excilud; from
seme other oanse, it seemed to me
than wbisky; bo *was drank; X d d
not notice hu ey«i; be talked excitedly,
and said what I hive related; when be
was sober he wss excited when be got in
a difficulty, and ordinarily when be w»8
sober be was peaceable and agreeable; be
is a bookkeeper.
Rrecross—He may bo very drnrk and
stigger very little; I have sesa him wben
be was drank when bo did no: know any-
thtnk tDont it the next morniog; bo stag
gered very little then.
Gibson is ordinarily a quiet mm, mod
est and diffident.
Mr. Mann, one of tie witne.-ees of ths
defense, woe discovered ia tbe court room
and witadrawn as a wrnsss by the di»-
fenie
B -direct—His not knowing anything
about anything the next morning is not
a peetiU :my of Mr. Gibson. I b iv •
heard or other parties being affl ct.d the
same way.
Dr. H. V. Johnson was next inlro-
dneed: I knew D. W. Colsman; ho is
dead ; I was called to attend him on the
nigh: of the 31 of November, 1878;
found him at tbe Isaacs House (now
BiDkWsnger House), between eight and
nine o’clock, a half or three-quarters of
an boar after the snooting; I found a
wonnd in tbe right side four inches bs-
low the nippie and a flesh wound in tne
calf of the teg; th” wound in the side
was mortal; the ball ranged downward
to the back and struck the kidneys; he
died on the night of the oth from the
wonnd in bis side; I saw him after death
at thu inquest. Hu died at tbe Isaacs
Uoa-u. in tne city of Maoon, B bb county.
Before entering upon the ccoss-eram-
inatioo, Col. Whittle, with leave of the
Court, then conversed with Dr. Johnston
und reported that they bad no questions
for the Doctor.
D.\ Mettausr introduced—I knew Cole
man viry Biigh lj; I was exiled in on
Monday after he was wounded; ho was
wounded on Sunday. I saw ho wss
shot in the side; the symptoms were very
plait; he was mortally wounded; I caw
him at tne inqnes'; I think he knew the
nature of the wound; he told me hu
would dtc; I did not et onoe direotly a3k
who did toe snouting; it was generally
nndeistood wbo did n; I was eetonisbtd
teat be hesitated about telling; I Hiked
if Gibran did tbe shooting, and he nod
ded, ths balieub rad tie right side mik
ing a fatal wound.
Colonel Whit 1 > again by tacit permit
of tus court went to tho stand and con
versed vl.h witue.se, snd announced iha;
tbe; bad no farther questions fur th
D.oor.
Mr. E. Isaacs was sworn by the de
fense.
Mr. A. O. Chat, of Houston county,
for thu State, testified: I reside in
Honston county. I know Gibson. I met
nim on tbe night of the killing at the en
trance of Wall street, abont'dark. Ercog
nixed nim and he me. This was 25 or 30
miautua before the shooting. I heard
tbe shooting.
State what—
Mr. Hall—We object to hie saying any
thing os to what ooeourred at that
piaco.
The court directed the witness to pro
ceed slowly so that he could see when to
stop him.
That was about 150 yards from the
shooting. I want io the Lanier House.
Air. Hall—He must bring it do-gp to
what was said abouS ehootiog Coleman.
Too .Court—Well go and tell about
it.
I was going to meat Dr. Carver; Gib
son was going out Third street; he was
drinking; I eaid I am going ehootiog
with Dr. Carver; he said he was going a
shooting too; he had his pistol in hi3
hand; I said that pistol won't do to shoo:
birds with; be replied I atn cot going to
shoot birds, I am going to shoot some
thing else, I would just us soon shoot
yon as nut; Mr. Dave Norris came up
aud I left; I went to the Lanier House
aud returned, and the ahootiugcommenc
ed.
Mr. Hall moved to rale out that part
of tbe evidence about the conversation
in relation to going shooting.
Mr. Bartlett argued that to make out
a cose of murder they must show malice,
and be could show implied malice by it.
The Court—Well, there wore two men
right there, he might have shot ono of
them.
The court ruled out tho sayings of the
witness in regard to what Gibson said no
was going to d o.
X was on Third street; I saw fiiiag
with a pistol; four shots were fired; I
could see the pt.rtie?, but did not know
who they were; the wounded man ran
down the street; and fell; the ehots were
fired above Huff’s corner, about Corput’s;
I was between the two streets, and
stopped until it was throngh; saw the
man fall; one man got to him bufore I
did, a poiioemKj, X think; they took bim
XO the Isaacs House.

not see Askew anymore about the time I
speak, according to the best of my recol

of the court.
Mr. J. L. Ksanedy testified: After

to say that be was in at Valen
tino’s getting supper; he bsw Askew
at the counter. Did not see bim take
a drink. Tnink Askew bid stepped out

Don’t think he coaid have gotten ont of

Three men came in in Askew’d crowd;

keeper gave him watei; hs seemed very
druck; did not bear rny conversation in
the hall before the firing; wben two shots
were fired, Burghard and Aekow ran
back through the restaurant and tbe
doors wero thu'; tbe time was very
short; I had taken one drink about a half
hour before.
To tho Court—It wss about ten minutes

wur it. x
A.—I did.

know how long; I was not in
dicted in Terrell for bigamy; I have
been married twice; neither of my
wives are living; I did not marry while I
had a living wife.

ing the war ?

self to answer to questions. We don’t
want your speeches.
Witness—Judge, Mr. Bartlett wants
to drag me down to the lowest from
prejudices which exist m Jones county,
ami I don’t think he onght to do It.

and thereby benefit hia case, it it hts
duty.
Are yon not directly interested in this
case? Witness appealed to the Court—
The Court culled on him to answer.
I do not feel any particular interest in
this case; have had conversations a bout

times UJtce Mr. G.bion.

The man picked up his pistol atd ran
past me. X don’t remember whether ho
was doubled up. Can’t eay whether he
was drunk or cot. Doa’t remember his
dress. He palled out his pistol when ho
and Mr. Gibson were quarreling. I came
