A large crowd gathered at the

! Mr. Stokes Walton. When the
, case was sounded, Judge McLean
announced Col. B. M. Fnzelle for
. the state and Cols. Echols Graham
, and W. A. Wooten for the do
-1 sense. Immediately after the
case was called Mr. Graham an*
1 nouncod that it was only a short.
1 while until the superior court,and
as an investigation now would lie
I ] for the purpose of getting bail,
' : they have decided not to enter
a trial at, this time. Judge Mc-
Lean recommitted Walton to jail
1 after this announcement. Quite j
1 I a number of witnesses were pro-1
. sent, in answer to summonses,!
and there is no doubt but that the:
case will be hard fought when it
