way, he is guilty of the crime charged. The
defendant asked for trial separately, and if
the jury finds that he is connected with
bribery by either of the ways specified they
mint find him guilty of the crime charged.
Justice Barrett believed that it had been
“•“*7 shown that Fullgraff was bribed.
Who bribed him? If the jury believed that
Delacy,, bribed him with *10,000, then, of
conrse, the jury must ask immediately who
bribed Delacy, for no one can suppose that
IJe.aoy bribed him on his own acoonnt, for

If any statement of evidenoe has seemed to

you will di card and disrigard it. This
is a cone of ntniost importance to
the people, and indeed a matter of life
and death to the defendant. I am not oon-
aciona of having tnled oat a particle of evi?
deuce to wbloh the defendant was entitled.
Yon will not be influenced by public
clamor. The defendant is an old, feeble,
infirm man, as has been said by his conn-
set. Yon will, however, not permit that to
influence you in the discharge of your duty.
It is hard for old age to Buffer, yet, we all

Thirteen minutes later there was a rush

another great crowd, and there was again

Only members of Lie family were permitted
to converse with him
Tbe conrt adjourned until July 13th,
when sentence will be prated upon the
ptisoner. A new trial will be moved for.
Tho story of tbe verdict as told by Jnror
Owen O. Schimmol is ss follows: “When
the jury left the conrt room at 8:52 they
went directly to the special term court
room to take tbeir ballot. No juryman
knew then what any other juryman wonld
vote. Foreman Canfield made ont twenty-
font ballots. Twelve of the ballots were
marked, “Gnilty," and 12, “Not Guilty."
Foreman Canfield gave each jaror two bal
lots, one marked ''Gnilty” and the other
"Not Guilty.” He then paaaed around hU
bat and each jnror deposited bis ballot
therein. Thore was bnt one ballot UkeD
and tbe ruiolt waa a verdict ot gnilty on
tbe first ballot, there being no dissenting
vote.
Louisville June 39.—A special to the
Courier-Jcurn 1 from Morebead, Ky., states
that there appears to be no foondation
whatever for the lumor that the Tolivers
are organizing, and that the people of
Rowan county feel confident thuttheirlong
war is over, and that an era of p* ace aud
lmppincta has at last dawned upon that
nnfortnnaie section, l'h's belief is found
ed upon tbe ontpoming of oitizsns at the
meeting yesterday, called to organize a pro
tective association for npholding the law.
An artiole waa then drawn np by which
every signer pi -dged himseif with his life
to proteot (he life and property of the citi
zens of Morchead and of Row .n countv.
This was signed by alt of the five hundred
men present.
Among (he formal rezolntions adopted
were the following;
“We hereby pledge to ourselves and to
the people of Kentucky that we will obey
tbe law, and we are determined to require
the observance of it in others. Wo arc
tired of bloodshed, and we are determined
to have the dominion of the law rather
than a long reign of violence.
“We agree to act as a poeso comitatns
whenever snmmoned by the sheriff to exe
cute the process of any conrt; and when
warrants of arrostsre placed in om- hands,
we agree to bring the partieB accused to the
bur of the conrto alive if possible, dead if
neces-iary. Wo deplore violence in all
its forme; bnt we are
determined that lawless men ahaii not
looger terror'zo ltowan connty, bnt that wo
will by a atnot interpretation of the law,
make it a terror to wroDg-do6rs, from what
ever sonroe they may ojtn. We will guar
antee to every person accused ot crime, and
bronght to Rowan county to be tried a fair
trial and protection from violonoe. We re
spectfully ask all good citizens c f Rowan
connty, of all shades of opinion, to sign
these resolutions."
