Mialn 1* Troubled About Ill* Testimony—A Stubborn Juror. TVaiuien ton, April 14.—[Special]— Another sensation was sprung in the McGregor trial to-night. Judge Lump kin held the jury over till this morning at 10:30 o’clock. He spent Sunday iu Augusta, returning to TVarrenton this morning. The jury had reached no verdict, and the judge decided to hold it until one was reached. He went over to Sparta and adjourned Hancock court till the fourth Monday in May. He re turned at 7:30 o'clock this evening, and at 8:20 o'clock to-night went to the court room, where n renwtion «u .waiting lhe gamoate r chumtat the card: nev- hire. Mr. Baker, the foreman of the c! do If a i !oth ^ hi | d or „ Oeorgo W. Jury, came out and stated that no verdict had been reached because his charge had not been fully understood. The judge started to read the charge, when Mr. Wbitohed, attorney for the defense, laid they wished to reopen the case. Abo jury was sent back to tho room. SWAIN HAS ANOTHER STORY. Mr. Jack Swain, who has been on the stand twice already, had told the defense since dark, Mr. Whitehead said, that ho knew something about the case which would benefit McGregor. He said to Mr. Watson: *‘1 have been inanagonvof suspense all day for fear the jury might convict McGregor, when my testimony might save him. Some timo before Cody wa* to bo tried for shooting Mc Gregor he was in Gainesville, and i was ■with him. He said to me that I must not tell all that I knew in the case wiim 1 came back to Warrenton. because if I di»{ he would be certainly sent to the peni tentiary and I was the only man who could keep him out by holding hack wlpd I knew when put on tho witness stand. Cody continued saying that McGregor should never send him to the penitentiary. I told bln* not to be in sinuating that he would kill McGregor. Ho replied that he would go to Warren and he knew no Warren county jury would ever convict him for killing McGregor. ‘ A FIOtlT AltONO LAWYERS. Mr. Whitehead argued that the evidence should be admitted as the state had been allowed to put in evidence after the case had closed. Solicitor-General Howard argued that Iw felt equal to managing the state’s case, but lie thought it unwise for him to attempt it on account of the personal feeling in this case and begged leave to put off considering this question until Judge Twiggs and Mr. Lewis, who had h Mr. Whitshsed argued that they should not have left as the case was not toncluled until a verdict was reached ami they were not absent by leave of the Mr. Davit for tbe state said that it could do no harm to put tho hearing of tho argument off till to-morrow. Whitehead replied that it would make no difference to him this few hours as he would be at home in bis bed. but to McGregor the timo was a very long pe- George Childs would ait long enough at a faro tsble the game would beggar him, so a gambler has only to stand and wait." This man spends no unnecessary timo on tiie turf or at the gambling house. He never enters the pool room. He is only a gaming capitalist in the business because it is remunerative and it gives him a chance to enjoy his elegant de sires, and he knows no other occupation. Kvery moment of timo ho has to spare from tho club houso is spent in his elo- gant privato residence, in which he in vested $00,000. Here he often entertains senators and governors, aud Sam Tildcn. Gov. Hendricks of Indiana, und Gov. Hoffman of New York dined with the gentlemanly gambler on the same day. They did not play, but after dinner took a stroll over the grounds, and from a safe coigne of vantage in tho restaurant watch'd a Pennsylvania co«! operator loss' $21,000 in an hour watching the rouletto wheel go round.

JUSTICE blMMONS* DECISION. “The whole proceedings in this case," says'Justice Simmons in his opinion, “seem to have been very loose and very hnsty. The hill is exceedingly loc*e in its charges as to the nature aud character of the assets which it is alleged belonged to the defendant corporation (the Mercantile Bank); it ut terly fails to allege the nature, charac ter, quality, quantity or amount of tho assets, except the office furniture and the sate, and probably tiie note of < ol- t: THE HOG DID FUR PHELAN. ,«\v . . hr npkin decided to wait for ut Judge Twiggs and Mr. 9 hearing whetn r ho ado ON K STUBBORN JUROR, Tho* iury was then returned and Judge L impkJn rood to them his charge in I .11, .lull, «.• 1 V.

Stamp and others, involv ing the right of the people of Thomaston to compel tiie road to run through that , town on certain conditions under an act i ** n (for $300). The pleader seems to ofthelMtl^larere, the.uprem. court jh»v»«nd«>yore<1 to .bow that there .. . i * , „ were no assets, Icr he alleges that tho this morning ofliruwd the decision ot tho , u . te ndant edvertired that it lmd a paid court below, but with such direction as, u p capital of $100,003 and $3,000 sur- 1 understand, makes the decision satis-1 plus, and on the next page of the factory to the counsel for the railroad. The opinion was an exhaustive one, covering about forty type-written pages. The following points were decided: 1. A railroad corporation having power by its charter granted in 1888 to locato and construct its road where it may think proper, may, by amendment to iu charter made after the company 1ms located, but before it has constructed its road, bo confined to a particular route on ccrtuin prescribed conditions as to a portion ot the line through a given country. This results from tho reserved power of the state, declared in sections ICHl and Idti'J ot tho C^de, to withdraw the franchises or change, modify or de stroy the corporation at the will of its creator. AMENDING THE CHARTER. 2. The right of the state so to amend the charter is not in any degree abridged or affected by executory contracts l>o- ■ the company and a construction company and between tho latter nnd ml»-contructors, touching the construc tion and equipment of the road, in so far as the amendment may render the performance of these contracts impossi ble, the impossibility will result from act of law, and perfornmneo to that ex tent will be excused. All parties contracting with a corporation must take notice of the conditions on wliicli it holds its franchises *bd of 1U subjection to the legislative will. 3. Any allowable modification of the charter of a privato corporation may bo made by an amendment adding a pro viso to one of i»a sections, "he form of the amending act has no influence on its construction or effect.

Griffin Tilluk% Plirla bill alleges that said corporation lms not $100,000 capital paid in and $5,000 sur plus in cash or other available assets, aud that ioUeKon anil Richards were the only stockholder* of the corporation; that they were insolvent and never even gave in any property for taxes for tho years lfc88-'8b, and that the execution dockets showed judgments against Tol- leson unpaid." Besides the.se remarks concerning the pleadings Justice Simmons speaks as tollowa of the order of commitment issued by Judge Clarke, which is held to be irregular, though not v. id: “The judgment of the court alsc lacking m tpecifying the result of tho court's investigation npon tho hearing, It fails to show what Oascls the court found to belong to the corporation or tx be in Tollcsun's possession or under In control or their character, quantity or amount. Wo think, however, we may fairly infer that tho court ascertained by proper evidence that ToUeson did have ut the time the rule was served upon him some asseta of the corporation, which ho failed nnd refused to surrender, nnd that the order committing him to jail for re fusal to obey the previous order was an implied judgment that ho was in con tempt for so refusing." AS TO THE JAIL ORDER. The opinion further says that the order sending Tolleson to jail should have stated the character and amount of the assets which the judge had fouud in TqI- h son's possession, that Tolleson and tho receiver might know what course tho former could take to purge himself of the conrompt and obtain* Ida discharge, i Tho character and amount of tho a* ets being now only in tho breast of the [ judge, should he die hi* successor would not know when the order had been MI,!'NT X HE II I.IPIKR'A HIM..

The court decides that, while he was legally com mitted to jail, tho trial judge niuit amend his order of commitment so aj t apecify w hat aiacts bo found that Toll - n had an -1 should have surrendered at Ure time of bis trial. This will dcubUea* be a difficult task for JmtgeClarke, but opinions differ as to what the effect of Uie decision will be on tbe prisoner's prospects. Judge i L&r.4- lut* been asked wbelber he would be aide to comply with tbe direettou of supr4 ne court and specify what asseta tbe were iu Tolleson's poeavion at the time bu ordered biui to jsd, but the judge at (ireeenl re! uses to talk. TRACING TUB ASSETS. I hear it staled that about eleven thousand dollars were traceable at the time of the trial and aime ter $4,000 have been fuuud in Jamra' L<ankan«l ordered held aubjtn t to Inxtiucuon* from the court. It would that the judge cannot include tho latter amount under tbe ruling of the higher tribuual, as there wasnoevideuco of it* cxuunce at tbe time be tamed tbe order; but the item of $ll,0u0l jiruvided information locating that sum was m the hand* of the court wlu n Tolleson’* trial occurred, will uly Im Miuwwat w hold him in j-ul a white longer. This is the second time that Tolleson has appealed to the supreme court On flrU occasion he brought up his famous habeas corpus case, making the joint that be had contrary to the law* of the state been made to suffer impris onment for debt. Tbe court made short work of his applica tion and declined to interfere. This time the case was brought up sod arguod oa a different line, it was first insisted that Tolleson is in confinement for failure to comply with an order that was made before there w as any attempt to make him a j ai ty to the suit—the sui being against the Me.-cantile Bank. S' ondly, it was argued that neither Un original petition, tbe side petition of Hi* receiver nor the judgment of the cour showed that Tolleeou had io his posses .i. r* ai.y a*«£ ts of the Mercaattle Bank & Klltert escaped with unlv a few brubes. They are ail doing os well as could be ex pected this afternoon. HIS If AND RAWED OFK.

But in tho old treasury vault are miscellaneous moneys, gold, silver, greenbacks, sic., which could be carried off, and Treasurer Huston is unwilling to carry this risk longer without trying to strengthen tho vault walls.
