the kind.
The other case was that of the State vs,

kill one Johnson B. Dyer lor having stolen

fense set up was that Dyer Usd kidnapped

he had a right tx shoot him. The trouble
took place in less than an hoar after tha
marriage, when Hunter was greatly ex
cited. when his passion snbalded ha made
friends with Dyer and treated him aa

closed the judge allowed a plea of assault.
No one, so far aa wa are informed, hae

of tbe corrosire poisons are tbe mineral

If a person immediately after swallowing
