At the bottom his blinker was taken off’ and he went about all right The mulo is called “Jack,” and is a bay ani mal, fourteen and a half hands high Tho stable boss is Mr. Kelley and the mule knows him liko a dog would his master. He is fat and sleek and knows as much of the mines as any man who works in them. If a lamp is placed on his head ho will go around the mine alone. The man who drives him has no trouble and if it was not for tho coupling and uncoupling the cars, he would need no driver. This mule is the pet of the miners and every day when the four hundred convicta and miners pass his stablo each one pats him affectionately on his head.

TOM JOHNSON’S TRIAL. The trial of Tom Johnson, tho noted Loug l’ouil mounshiner, has been In progress in 8a- vauuuh since Thursday, and which was fully reported In the News, has ended iu the convic tion of Jobuson. The case excited unusual attention, from the high standing of tho pris oner, as well as from the scnsatioaal character of the offense for which Johnson was tried, Attorney-General Garland retained Solicitor’ General DuBiguon to proeeeute the case. TDK STORY OF THE CRIME. Deputy Collector W. H. ClcmenU told tlio story of the crime in a graphic manner. On the SSil of October last he was a deputy collec tor. aud on the uight of that ilaywent to Mout- comerv county for the purpoto of seizing an illicit still. About dark the witness, with W. T. Wa'l aud T. Bose, creased tho Oconee river on his way to long Pond, Montgomery county. The first place the party went to after crossing the te rry was to a store, where they met a col ored man who stated that ho could take tho partv to within two hundred yards of the 'place where the still was If rated. The negro was taken in Wall’ buggy. On the way they stopped at Tom Moxo's bouse and made some inquiry of him as to the loration of the distillery. Tire negro said that the still waa in Johnson's hay. Mozo said it was somewhere else, moments decided to go according (0 the negro's directions, and they went to the boy and searched for two •Mill as they caaie up near tno store me .. saw t bat the door was open and he aiw light shining inside. One man came out and mkr.i: -Who is that;’ Another man me out right behind him. Tire ms a ..• came 2 out £ was the first to fire, ' witness thought. The wit- positively identified Johnson as the first man who came out,, and he knew that Jobuson fired. Seven or eight shots were fired. The witness said that ho knew Johnson perfectly w ell, and he added that the defend- ant Bad his gun pointed at the party when lie came out of the store door. The shooting bloke lin the party, and no further attempt was made that night to find the still, \\all s „,„i c uns struck by ataut twelve buckshot. Air. C’iemcut3 had heard that Mr. Pritchard had offered a reward of f 100 to have the still broken up. Mr. Pritchard's objection to the still was that it demoralized his hands. The defense questioned the witness closely in re gard to the statements made on tho Mozo trial, and in conversation with different parties. JOUKSON’a STATEMENT. The evidence introduced fully sustained the ease against Johnson, tho witnesses giving the filets under tlio rigid cross-questioning of Mr. DnBignon. When the evidence was in John son made a statemout in which lie said that ho went to Mt. Vernon on tho ovening of October fifid. Ho rode a mule. On Ida way back ho stopped to see Hulsey. He was going to Sic- ISndc's store to sco about un nccouut, and Hul sey walked up the road with him. On their w ay they met Carmichael nnd two other men. Hulsey them went back home. Directly Mo zo came up, anil Carmichael, who bail boon drinking, got tn quarrelling with Mozo and was about to strike the latter with his gnn when the defendant grabbed tho weapon. Mozo said that ho was going up to the store af ter somo horse liniment. The defendant, Caimiehnel. and Mozo wont into tlio store, and the defendant called for oysters. Some one on tho outside whom tho defendant could not seo railed ont: “Nine, they’re com ing," Mac then went out of tlio door. 1. fol lowed. Ho grabbed the gun that Mozo hail act down alongside tho door. I turned to the left nud went behind the store aud met a man named Williams. I heard tho shooting and supposed it was at darkies. I got in the store ata window. I hail no fire-arm, and do not own n rifle. I did not shoot a gnn when I went out. I iind no connection with n still of any sort.” Johnson added that ho never left the countv, anil claimed that he was never ar rested until hegavo himself up.. Tho prose cution did not cross-examine him. Mr. DuBignon summed np tho testimony or Clements,Wall,Boee.BilcsMcnrlde.anddeclared that their evidence identified Johnson as ono of the parties who fired upon the raiders. The counsel for tho government attacked the lino of defense and seathed the testimony of sonic of tho defendant's witnesses. His argument waa a strong review for the prosecution, and ho asked for a conviction. Judge Speer delivered a lengthy charge. Thero was considerable speculation about the verdict, but tho defendant did not appear to be very deeply concerned. The verdict was a conviction of Interfering with the officers in the discharge of their duty, the punishment fer which it as severe as for shooting nt them. Sentence wts su»|icnded.
