10 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 YOUTHFUL PATRICIDE. How Willie Wingrard Spends His Time In Jaii. Willie Wingcrd, the 15-vear-old slayer of his stepfather, Edward E. Thomas, has passed the week in jail thinking over the act he committed a week ago to-day. lie has not been at all upset, in fact, the indiffer ence that he manifested immediately after the shooting has increased. He does not leem to care about it, or to have the least fear of what the result will lie. He exhibits is much unconcern as would the most liard •ned criminal, though it is because he Kulievas he “hath his quarrel just,” not bo •use he is familiar with crime or accus tomed to jail. He is reserved, spending most his time alone and having little or nothing , do with the other prisoners. He reads 1 smokes cfnrrettes and seems to he very' u contented with his life behind the bars. Wts famil" are attentive, visiting hitn when w~y can and sending him what they can. The Central’s New Bonds. President Alexander returned yesterday from New York, where he has been for the fnst two weeks signing the Central’s new Winds. Only a iart of them have been lignc.l, but these have been sold and tho m Inscriptions arc way ahead for the rest. The enure floating debt of the company was paid off before Gen. Alexander left New York. The company is now ready to go ahead with its proposed extensions. The Good water extension will be completed through to Birmingham and equipjjed, with out any encumbrance. Gen. Alexander is well satisfied with the sale of the new bonds. 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 Sopt.l, 1885, to June 15,1886, rough. 514,172 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.

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.

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.

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. .
