MURDER CASES ON THE DOCKET After Convening Special Term Judge Littlejohn is Petitioned Not to Hold Court—Jonas Hicks Case Will Be Among the First Tried. The first special term of Snmter su perior court convened in many years will be entered upon tomorrow morn ing when Judge ’/. A. Littlejohn, at the instance of four or five hundred cit zens, will preside for a week iu the trial of many onmiual oases. And among these will be the case of Jonas Hicks, the negro who killed Mr. Jarrett J. Davis on his plantation be low Amerious two months ago, which will be among the first taken up. In fact, tne Hicks case is largely re sponsible for the speoial term, and the situation is interesting. Shortly after the crime was commit ted a lengthy petition was presented the court praying for a special term for trial of the negro. As there were three other murder cases, and otber’felonies to be tried, Judge Littlejohn decided to accede to the reqiest made. Even this involved an expense of probab'y SI,OOO, but the session was called, and all is in readiness. Yester day, however, an unexpected phase was developed m a counter petition presen ted to the court. Tniß was upon the part of several farmers, some of whom had signed'he petition for a speoial term but who now regret it, inasmuch as a sess : on of court will deter work on the farm. This counter petition was argued before the court yeßterdsy. But it was too late to undo what had already been done in this way. Judge Littlejohn explained the situ ation fully to the delegation before him, reciting the faot that, while the speoial term had been oalled at their request largely, he could not discrum nate and try Hicks alone, when there were other murder oases upon the dooket. He would, be said,inconvenience the farmers just as little as possible and try only j til oases of grave nature. The special term bad bees called, and it was too late now to turn baok Judge Littlejohn appointed able counsel to defend Hickp, assigning Messrs Lane & Maynard and Judge J. A. Hixon to that task. The grand jury will assemble at 9 o’clock, and daring the week will pass npon a number of cases, including that of Jonas Hicks. The trial of many jail cases this week will greatly relieve the dooket at the regular May term of coart. MEN ARE POWERLESS Tm Fight A gain at Dtaeaae Unless They Strike at the Underlying; Cause.
