Testimony of the Brothers of Each the Principals--A Clear Account. The commitment trial of J. Sullivan for the f illing of John W> 1 n last Tuesday commenced on Thursday morning before John Banks and Jasper Coggins, at Hoilonville, ami tho decision was not reached until a lull examination, last ing until alter dark. Tho most accurate and succinct account of the tragedy was given t>y Clark Su'livan, brother of tho ac cusetl, and was as follows ; “We were all down there running the line between Sullivan and Wil son when C. R. Wilson came up and said that whoever said there were two hedge rows there told a -d lie. I replied that there were two. He replied that 1 had sworn in Zebulon that I owned this land, I replied that I had done no such thing, lie replied that I had tried to leave that impression on the jury. I replied that I had done no such thing, but had stated that I had ten ded the land and had rented it from his son. At this juncture Clark Wil son stepped up to me and said, “Don’t you dispute my father’s word.” I replied to him that “what 1 had said was true and that 1 should not take it back,” when he repeated, “Don’t you dispute my father’s word,” aud I replied that 1 had said it and would not takeitback. He replied,“I pose you want to fight then,’* commenced pulling off his coat. I plied, “No, Clark, I did not here for a difficulty and don’t any; but if nothing but a will do you, you can get it.” at this instant 1 heard some one “Put up that pistol,” and and saw John C. Wilson pointing pistol at Will Sullivan mil him snap it twice. Will had been sitting on a log with an between his logs—he was acting axeman for the Surveyor and cessioners in the survey—and I saw J. C. Wilson presenting snapping his pistol at him he van) was in the act of rising his seat and dodged twice, as pistol snapped in his half rising sition. J, C. Wilson then placed oylinder ot the pistol iu the hand and held the handle in right as if trying to cock it, still ing Will Sullivan. Just as he pistol in this position Will shot three times in very rapid cession (two seconds would cover time) and Wilson fell, pistol in hand cocked. Then C. R. rushed toward his buggy, “G—d d—n ’em, I’ll fix ’em rushed in front of him and told him stop, that he should not go any towards the buggy ; and Clark then rushed up with knife in his and told his father to go on and “I will tend to Clark.” C. R. son turned back. Will van had been sitting on a while Clark and 1 were quarreling bad not said one word or taken part in tbe matter up to the John Wilson Btarted to him the pistol. I repotted the threat Will Sullivan which Mr, W’m. Edge had told me John Wilson made in his presence on Monday ternoon before the killing.” This tLrent was proven on tbe by Mr, Edge and was this, that W Bon told him that Will Sullivan got a true bill against him and him under a hundred dollar fine; he was a d ’ n har, a d-u thief ad—n rascal, ami he would kill G-d <1—n him. Tbe testimony of Clark was sustained by the evidence many other witnesses, without material variation except as to details, among whom were Manley. Uncle James Caraker, Caraker, Jack Pryor, Z. Scott, Blake and Surveyor McLean, and tbe statement of J. W: Sullivan. Clark Wilson’s hslimony from the above materially. In testimony he claimed that while ami Clark Sullivan we disputing Will Sullivan started at him with axe and John Wilson cried out down that axe;' 1 ns did C. R aud presented his pistol at Will livan, and that as he heard John “put down the nxe'* he looked saw him with Lis pistol for the time. Some of the othor heard the same cry of put down axe. Tho court discharged the aud dismissed tbe warrant on ground that the killing was in self fense. Tbe large crowd present pleaded as the decision was made. f resh Cake Every jf city.

Shall YTf Have a City Hall 1 Is it possible that the citizens of Griffin are asleep on the all import ant subject of having an opera house in the city’ How often do strangers coming into our midst make mention of the fact that the citizens of such thriving city as Griffin has proved it self to be, should neglect to erect nice city building which they be proud of- Why could we cause to be erected a building could not only be used as an house but also ns a place for our lie entertainments. We could have a city market upon the floor and, in fact, could make it ful for many things. This has been discussed many times our citizens but it seems that no will bo the fin t to make a move this direction. We need an house, beyond a question of a and any citizen who has tho appreciation will admit this. know ®f many of our smaller who can boast of tine public ings and they have no more than has Griffin. It is that wo should arouse ourselves our long lethargic slumber and go work and erect a building that be ornamental ;,s well as useful our city. Let us not merely tho matter but begin the work once. Every citizen who has good of tho city at heart should his shoulder to the wheel and it there until ho is assured that is no further necessity for it to main and then tho building will erected.
