fOGARTY'S CASE HEART!.
fHE ARGUMENTS FOR AND
AGAINST A NEW TRIAL.
Hcompetency of the Jury—Affidavits
and Counter-Affidavits—The Effect of
Opinions Formed from Newspaper
Reports Argued—The Insanity Ploa
Discussed—Judge Adams Reserves
His Decision.
, The motion for anew trial in the famous
logarty ease was heard in the Superior
ilourt yesterday. P. W. Meldrim. Esq., and
P. J. O’Connor, Esq., appeared for the pris
mer and Solicitor General du Bignon for the
State. The grounds upon which a now trial
jre asked are many, but the principal ones
ire that two of the jurymen were ineompo
eut, and that the jury should not have ren
lererl the verdict that it did, because the de
fendant Was insane.
Mr. Meldrim said tlrat two of the jury
oen had formed and expressed an opinion
Biat Fogarty was guilty and they should
lot have been accepted as competent. They
lad read the reports of the first trial in the
lewspapers and from them had formed
Opinions that were adverse to the defeud-
Int. In answering the question whether he
lad an opinion and whether could give
Jhe accused a fair trial, one of the jurors
laid that he had an opinion, but it could be
Removed if better testimony was presented
jo him, still he would prefer not to serve,
Meldrim thought the mind of a juror
Ihould be perfectly free from bias either
Kay.
STATEMENTS OF JURORS.
He introduced the affidavit of William
Ddell, which was that before the second
{rial Martin G. Helmken had said “Fogarty
ught to be taken down to the railroad
liridge and himg the same as a nigger.”
He also introduced the affidavit of Thomas
H. Monahan, which stated that James 8.
Evans had said “He ought to be bung. If I
ivas on the jury I would convict him.'’ The
tffidavits Stated that the opinions alleged
tvere expressed before the second trial. Mr.
Meldrim did not think them competent
jurors, although the statute only required
urors under examination to answer whether
’’from having seen the crime committed or
kaving heard any evidence delivered under
>ath they had formed or expressed an
Opinion either for or against the prisoner.”
He thought that if a juror had an opinion
!t was unfair to accept him, even if that
Opinion could be removed, because it re
juired so much more evidence to remove it
ind acquit the accused than if the opinion
lid not exist.
As to the verdict, the defense had intro
lueed testimony to show that Fogarty was
ifflicted with epileptic fits and expert testi
mony to show that where epilepsy was con
linued and violent it affected the mind, pre
vented discrimination between right and
wrong, and culminated in imbecility; that
[hough an epileptic might not lie imbecile
[is mind was not properly balanced, and
(here might be times when he would not be
iccountable for his actions.
DIFFERED WITH THE JURY.
He thought the verdict should have been
in accordance with that testimony. The
jury recommended mercy, and he thought
shat should weigh with the court .
He also excepted to the action of the
lourt in permitting two jurors to have
lewspapers.
Mr. dußignon said that he had personally
ixamined the papers before they wore given
to the jury, and there was not a word about
the Fogarty case in them. As to the ground
(he defense took regarding the opinion
formed by the jurors from newspaper re
ports, he cited authorities that said such
tipinions did not disqualify as juror. He
llso quoted the opinion of a Judge, who
said that if such an opinion did render a juror
incompetent,the jui ies would have to be made
up of men who do not or cannot read. The
jurors against whom exceptions had lieen
taken had said that their opinions could be
rhanged by the evidence and that they
;ould give the accused a fair and impartial
Under the statute they were not in
competent. He read an affidavit from James
B. Evans, in which he denied that he had
made the statement attributed to him. He
tlso introduced an affidavit from Helmken,
who said that he hud never expressed the
spinion that. Fogarty ought to be hanged;
ae did not know that it was Thomas Fognr
)y who was on trial but thought it was Fo
garty’s brother.
Concerning the insanity plea, he said that
Fogarty's counsel were responsible for the
Tourse pursued in that matter. The law of
Georgia was that if the accused was insane
a special plea of insanity might be tiled, and
a jury from the grand jury might be
selected to try the defendant, on that charge.
If he was then found to bo insane, he was
ent to the asylum for life. If the insanity
plea was incorporated with the plea of not
guilty, and on trial the jury acquitted him
on that ground, he was turned loose on
tociety.
A SPECIAL ri.EA NOT ENTERED.
The counsel on the other side should have
entered a special plea and so have done their
ditty to their client and to society by send
ing him to the asylum if be was insane, but
they had not followed that course, and if
they had proved his insanity on trial, a man
dangerous to society would have been set at
large. The jury had recommended .mercy,
ft was true, but'a majority of juries in mur
der cases did that because sympathy
would naturally be aroused in be
half of the accused, and he
thought it was well orduined that it should
be so. In the administration of justice
sympathy should play its part, but there
was a dutv owing to society; it should be
protected from violent persons. The violent
insane the law sends to the asylum, the vio
lent sane to the penitentiary, and be
thought if Fogarty was insane he should have
been sent to the asylum under a special plea
and not turned loose, perhaps to repeat
his violence. Medical testimony had been
introduced to prove Fogarty's insanity, but
he had been careful to ask every one of the
experts whether they could say that. Fogarty
was incapable of distinguishing between
right an. I wrong, but not one would say
that he was.
Judge Adams took the papers in the case
and reserved his decision.

THE RICE MARKET.
The Board ot Trade’s Statement-The
Weevil Not at Work.
The Board of Trade yesterday made the
following comparative statement with re
gard to rice, showing tho receipts from
Bept. 1, 1885, to June 15, 1886, and from
Sept. 1, 1886, to June 15, 1887, and tho
stocks on hand between these dates:
RECEIPTS. Uut.hr It.

From Sept. 1,1886, to June 15,1887, rough . .679.308
Showing excess over last year 165.136
stocks. Bushel*.
On hand, June 15, 1886, rough 94,657
On hand, June 15, 1887, rough 64,677
Showing decrease in stock June 15,1887;. 29.680
Barrels.
On hand. June 15, 1830, clean 4. *.u
On hand, June 15, 1887, clean 4,000
Showing decrease in stock clean, June 15,
1887 425
The abovo statement shows that we have re
ceived hem 165,183 bushels rough in excess of
last year up to June 15, and that the stools of
rough and dean held here on June 15. 1887, are
less than stocks on hand for corresponding date
last year, as shown by above statement.
By adding the excess in receipts this year
over Inst, and tho decrease in the visible supply
on June 15, 1887, it appears that 18,162 barrels
more clean lias gone into consumption this year
so far than last.
It is officially reported by the Superintendents
of the mills here, that all the stock- on hand is in
good keeping condition, anti that tiie majority
of it is freshly milled. The absence of the wee
vil and worm is conspicuously rioted thus far
this season, due to the excellent harvest weather
experienced by our planters when harvesting
their crops.
This statement is rather interesting
in view of the exception that was taken
here to the rice report of the New York
Journal of Commerce of June 15. In that
report the Journal of Commerce had a
good deal to say about the “festive weevil”
and the “plodding worm,” and insinuated
that the weevil aud the worm were playing
havoc with the price of rice. It stated that
the weevil and the worm were getting in
their work at the South as well as in New
York. The statement aroused a suspicion
that somebody was trying to bear rice, as
neither weevil nor worm had made its ap
pearance in this market, and it doesn’t ap
pear that either has been noted at New
Orleans. It would be interesting to know,
therefore, where the information about the
weevil and the worm at the South was ob
tained. Dan Talmage’B Sons can tell, prob
ably, as that firm backed up tho Journal
of Commerce's statement.
There were two other parties who backed
it up, but they are unknown here. It is
supposed, however, that they got their wis
dom from Dan Talmages Sons. It
seems rather curious in this locality, that
the Journal of Commerce didn’t get
gome of tho prominent rice dealers outside
of Dan Talmage’s Sons to sustain it. Per
haps it oonldn’t. Its report of June 15 was
attacked by a (inn in this city, and it prob
ably thought it had extinguished that firm
by calling it an insignificant operator. As
a matter of fact, the firm in question Is one
of the largest operators in this market. In
the Journal of Commerce Dan Talmago’s
Sons say that, they did not expect their
reply to the reference to them in the Morn
ing News would be published by the News.
This is very refreshing. Why shouldn't the
Morning News publish itf The Morning
News givesjpoth sides a hearing, as a rule,
and it will even now publish a statement
from Dan Talmuge’s Sons showing where
they got their information that the “festive
weevil” and the “plodding worm” were get
ting away with the rice in the South.

Birmingham Does Better.
New Orleans, June 25.—Birmingham
played an improved game to-day and Weber
pitched very effectively. Had not New
Orleans got a big lea/1 in the early part of
the game by a few timely hits, daring base
running and the costly errors of their op
ponents, the result might have been dif
ferent. After the fifth inning it was all
Birmingham. The latter, besides fielding
finely at the end, batted Howell at oppor
tune moments. Hantel, a young local ama
teur, caught Weber and did tolerably well.
Campau’s work in left field was a feature
but he could not hit as well as usual. Bir

A COTTON PRESS SOLD,
The Movement of the Presses to the
Interior Inaugurated.
The statement made some time ago by a
prominent cotton factor that before many
years all the compressing would be done In
the interior is being verified. One of the
presses of the Tyler Cotton Press Company
has been sold to go to Albany. It has been
taken down and is lying on the wharf ready
to be loaded. The press has been bought by
three New York houses, the correspondents
of Hamilton & Cos., of Newnan and Alban}-,
Hitt & Cos., of Americas and Albany,
and Cole, Simpkins & Cos., of Bruns
wick and Albany. The correspond
ents of these gentlemen have bought
and will erect the press in Albany
with the understanding that the firms men
tioned shall use it. The reason given is that
the press now in Albany is old and does not
do the compressing iu a way that satisfies
the New York men.
The Central railroad has also taken down
one of its presses, and will erect it in Macon.
Both of these will lie in operation by Sept. 1.
The interior has been building presses for
five or six years, but its raid on tne Savan
nah machines has evidently just begun. Six
years ago there was not a press in the in
terior, and tho business of compressing in
Savannah was so lucrative that new
presses were being erected here
steadily. Now the interior is
operating fifteen and with the two that are
to go there from here the number will be
increased to seventeen. The effect has been
felt by the local presses, and for the last
three years but few more than half of them
have been running. The movement to the
interior will of course affect that branch of
the cotton business in this city, but it will
not have any influence on the business of
the port , for all the cotton that was shipped
here before will still come, the only differ
ence being that it will come in compressed
instead of uncompressed bales.

An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111.,
says: “Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let
suffering humanity know it. Have had a
running sore on my leg for eight years; my
doctors told me I would have to' have the
bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, in
stead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and
seven boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and
my leg is now sound and well.” Electric
Bitters are sold at 50c. a bottle and Buck
len's Arnica Salve at 2oc. a box by Lippman
Bros.
. Red Bugs.
Red Bugs is the sequel to picnics and ram
blings in the woods. The torture caused
by these little biters can be immediately
soothed and cured by an application of Tet
terine—the only and never-failing remedy
for tetter, ringworm, ground itch, dandruff
and all skin eruptions. Harmless and fra
grant. Sold by druggists. Sent by mail
for 50e. per box. J. T. Shcptrine & Bro. ,
