Tria- and Conviction of George Kirk. { the N(> \ ember number of The La- j
In the Superior Court last week the j , ora * T of unusual
case of the State against George' ^n Thonie contributes
Kirk, for murder, was tried. The an article upon “Art Applied to Bed-
Killing Near Taylorsville.
A dispatch from Cartersville to the
Atlanta Constitution, dated 19th,
gives the following account of a diffi
culty, and its fatal result, which oc
curred near Taylorsville:
Thursday night of last week a
difficulty occurred about five miles
from Taylorsville, and near the
county line, between 3Ir. John A.
Owen and 3fr. Win. L. Simpson.
During the-difficulty Simpson struck
Owen with a billet of wood about
three feet long, inflicting a fatal
wound, from the'effects of which 3Ir.
Owen died Saturday night. Coroner
Willingham held an inquest yester
day over the body. The jury, after
hearing the testimony submitted,
rendered a verdict as follows : We,
the jury find the deceased, John A.
Owen, came to his death by being
stricken over the head with a large
stick by William L. Simpson, and
tiiat it was willful murder. Coroner
Willingham issued a warrant for the
arrest of Simpson, who has so far
managed to keep out of the way of
the officers. The cause or the diffi
culty was an old grudge aided by
whisky.”

A Famous Galaxy.
People who delight in beautiful
and good books will be astonished
when they see, if they have not al
ready seen, the announcements of the
Caxton Illustrated” and other edi

to $9 net; Thackeray’s, from $16.50 to
$6.75; George Eliot’s, from $12 to

Gold, Silver Watches, Cheap, at

Watches, but the naan he got them
from may have done it, judging
from the prices asked for them.
case was,the first called, after the as
sembling of the court on 3Ionday,
and the trial occupied tlirqe days,
during which there was a lively in
terest at all times manifest, the court
room being continually well crowded
with spectators, among Which was
noticeable a goodly proportion of col
ored people. The trial being the
first murder trial in our court for
some time, about which there was
much interest, gave our local attor
neys in the ease an opportunity for
research and a display of legal wis
dom such as is only now and then
•met with. The State was represent
ed by Col. J. I. Wright, the Solicitor
Genera], assisted by 3Iessrs. Janes &
Richardson and King & Bunn, of the
local bar, and Judge J. \V. H. Un
derwood, of Rome, while the defense
was represented by 3Iessrs. Blance
& Noyes, Thompson and Glenn.
There were about fifty-six wit
nesses in the case, the examination
of which occupied about one-hsif of
the time of the trial. The examina
tion was rigid, thorough, and rather
spirited at times, the prosecution and
defense each having evidently re
solved tiiat no stone should be left
unturned to develop all the fa-
likely to have bearings favorably on
their own side of the case. The ar
guments in the ease were made by
Messrs. Bunn, Richardson and Un
derwood, in behalf of the State, and
Blance, Glenn and Thompson for the
defense, 3Ir. Bunn making the open
ing speech: The prisoner’s counsel
made a stirring effort. The speech
of Col. Thompson was a particularly
well prepared and earnest appeal for
his acqu.t al. The speech of 31
Richardson, of the State’s counsel,
who is yet young at the bar, was full
of practical points. The manner in
which lie handled the evidence
evinced a peculiar tact that is suscep
tible of being turned to a useful ac
count and proving an auxiliary to
his lasting success as a lawyer. Hon.
J. W. II. Underwood, for the State,
who closed tiie arguments in the
ease, went to his subject with a free
dom of manner and appropriateness
of expression at once impressing
and winning tiie close ear of jury
and spectators,and betraying notably
tiiat gift of knowledge and the abili
ty to impart it, which ail who know
his career, are ready at ail times to
accord as his possession. His speccii
was an able demand for the law’s
vindication. The jury was an un
usually bright body of men, made
up from a fair-minded, intelligent
class of citizens, and seemed to weigh
properly the gravity of their task.
Judge Branham’s charge to them
was a lucid exposition of the law in
the case, and a silence reigned du
ring its delivery which showed a
deep felt interest. The jury, after re
tiring from tiie court room made
their verdict in about two hours,
which was one affirming tiie priso
ner’s guiit, with the recommendation
to the court’s mercy. Kirk was ac
cordingly sentenced by Judge Bran
ham to the penitentiary for life. The
prisoner sat, daring the progress of his
trial with his back well to the specta
tors, in a half bent attitude, close by
his attorneys, watching intently the
course of matters within the bar, but
evincing no audible signs of excite
ment. His statement was a rather
automatic, unemotional denial of
guilt, expressed in a few shambled
words. Kirk Is a man about thirty-
five years of age, below the medium
size, lias high cheek bones and a
rather restless eye. He bears Ills
sentence, it is said, resignedly. He
was carried to Dade coal mines on
Friday.
The crime for which Kirk was con
victed was committed on the even
ing of tiie 21st of July last. Dick
Ratehford, a colored man, who was a
near neighbor of Kirk,, and with
whom Kirk was known to be on un
friendly terms because of Dick hav
ing reported him for illicit selling of
whisky and for an abduction in
which Dick’s daughter was the vic
tim, was shot ia the road near his
home, while on his . way from this
place, his assassin having stood in
wait beiiind a clump of bushes by the
roadside, and fired the charges from
both barrels of a double-buarreled
shot gun into the victim’s body.
Dick’s cries were heard by his peo
ple and he was found and carried to
his house and Dr. Richardson sent
for. The doctor upon arrival, recog
nized the dangerous character of
Dick’s wounds and informing him
he must die, at once requested and
took his dying statement as to who
killed him. Dick stated that Kirk
was his slayer, having seen him
plainly as he fired both the shots.
His statements were in a measure
eorroberated by those of his wife and
one Alf Prior, who ran to him and
saw a man running through the
woods in the direction of Kirk’s
house. Kirk was immediately ar
rested,being found in the night at
his house, and submitted peaceably.
The murdered man’s dying state
ment, with Alf Prior’s story, his wife
not being allowed to testify, togeth
er with statements as to threats,made
up the evidence for the State. The
defense was an alibi, which Kirk
proved by five witnesses, all of
whom were impeached. Ratchford’s
testimony was also impeached. The
verdict, under the circumstances has
met with much approval by the pub
lic.
ding,” ih which he describes the
process of making, entirely of plants,
the medallion portraits of Washing
ton and Lincoln, shown the past sea
son at the Alleghany City Park.
Peter Henderson’s suggestions upon
“Window Gardening and tiie Care
