CROWLEYS INSANITY. He Burns a House on W. M. Combs' Place. J. W. Crowley, a young white man, about 30 years of age, was tried for lunacy yesterday afternoon before Judge Hammond, the ordinary of this county, and after hearing the evidence, the jury brought in the fol¬ lowing verdict, “Insane, a fit subject for the asylum and without property to defray expenses.” The circumstances in the case are as follows: The young man has been living at Mrs. Wilson’s near this place for sometime past and has been employed as overseer for her large plantation, and about two months ago on Sunday, left-there and wandered through the woods to his sister’s house near Locust Grove and was found there two or three days after he was missed. It was then supposed that he had gone off and had committed suicide. After this he came back to Mrs. Wilson’s and resumed his iwork on the farm and his friends still notic¬ ing that he seemed very dispendent and that bis health did not get any better it was decided for him to go to W. M. Combs’near Locust Grove and stay awhile, hoping that the change and respite from work would benefit him. So two weeks ago he went up there, where he has since been until yesterday and his friends did not ae- tice anything strange in his actions, but he had that same despondent air and look, which was still attributed to dyspepsia and general bad health. On yesterday morning between 1 and 2 o’clock he set fire to a house filled with straw, which was situated about one hundred yards from Mr. Combs’ dwelling.! discovered It was shortly after by some hands on the place, and Crow¬ ley was found to be burnt on the left hand, arm and his bead. He stated in reply to questions be¬ fore the jury that he did not remem¬ ber anything at all about it, aud when he came to himself was back in bed. The bouse was entirely consumed. The unfortunate young man has been in bad health for years, and has also been a dyspeptic, and in addi¬ tion to this had a melancholia, which was the principal cause of his insan¬ ity. He will be carried to the State Asylum this morning in charge of W. P. Walker.

THE W00LF0LK TRIAL. Argument by the Attorney* Still Going On—Yesterday’* Speeches. Perry, Ga., June 20 .— Colonel Duncan made a fine argument for the defense yesterday afternoon. He' attacked principally the inability of 1 circumstantial evidence. His speech lasted two hours and forty minutes* Hs was followed by Captain Harde. man for tbs prosecution, who began speaking at 3:20 and closed this morning at 9:20—speaking, in all* three hours and a half. His argu¬ ment clinched the theory of the that one man did the killing and that man was Tom Wool-’ folk. Hi# portrayal of the killing of Captain and Mrs. Weolfolk, and the infant, Mattie, on ths bed, the at¬ tempted rescue by Richard, the death struggle of Pearl and Annie in ths hall and the dragging of little Char¬ lie from his hiding, was especially affecting and many in the lafge crowd shed tears. It was a power, ful argument and must have had a telling effect. At 9:30 Colonel A. J, Miller, of the counsel for the deiense began speak¬ . ing. His principal line was to attack the evidence in .the case. Colo nej Miller is a fine speaker, and made a good impression. I have not heard a single expres¬ sion. of doubfr as to the guilt of the accused. Since the taking of the testimony closed the crowd is large, with more ladies in attendance to day than at any time during ths trial. Noon recess.—Judge Miller has been speaking two hours and forty minutes, and resumed at 2 p. m. He has attacked the evidence against the prisoner point by point in a masterly manner. His words are listened to with attention. He will be followed by Capt. Ruther¬ ford, who will probably consume the remainder of to-day audjaii of to¬ morrow, as it is reported he is to speak twelve hours. Mrs. Stewart, cousin of the prisoner, presented the attorneys tor the prosecution with a handsome basket of flowete this morning. The sick juror is apparent¬ ly all right again. BIG 8UItTiNBIBB.
