THE TRIAL BE6UN—WITNESSES SPEAK. SUBSTANCE OF THE TESTIMONY. the trial continues today. < , i— - Yesterday the trial in real be gun. When the court opened,no objection was made, and tho trial proceeded, begln- Ing with the testimony of Dr. Thomas. Fending the trial Hon. T. W. Grimee arrlvod from Columbus, and took his seat by Mrs. Lyon. The trial proceeded, and the first wit ness introduced was lin. THOMAS. Dr. Thomas being sworn testified in substance as follows: I am a practicing physician and live In the town of Crawford. I knew Mr. Byrd Lyon. Ho Is now dead. He died last Sat urday night a week ago. I was summon ed by Justico Hayes to attend an inquest at the residence of Mr. Lyon, now occu pied by Mr. J. L. Davis. I found Mr. Lyon dead, he was shot through the neck. The spinal vertlbra being served, which caused tho death of Mr. Lyon. At the inquest was various parties among them Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Byrd Lyon's brother and wife also being present. Mr. Lyon being found lying near the well on the back porch, the feet extended towards the well. I know exactly at what hour Lyou was killed. 1 found a slug in the body of Mr. Lyon. The slug was of iron between Y, and % Inches long. The slug produced the death. Another wound was found on the back of his head, which I think was produced by falling ou a post. The deceased was very tall, being six feet or more in height. There were bullet holes In the houselmade by some missies. MR. ETON’S TESTIMONY. Witness stated he resides in Georgia, was In Russell county, where J. L. Davis lives, and he and brother also; Inmates of the house at tho time; J. L. Davis, Mrs. Davis, young lady Lizzie, and two chil dren, himself and A. R. Lyon were there last Saturday night a week ago. A, R. Lyon Is doad, being buried In a ceme tery in Columbus, Ga. Last Saturday night was a week ago, they wero sitting around the fire, as Lyon® took tho kettle and wont for water, for the purpose of warming and putting to his feet, while witness and J. L. Davis woro sitting by the fire; they heard a gun lire; immedi ately after which they heard Mrs. Davis cry out, Mr. Lyon was killed, calling on them to come to her. When they reached there, found A. K. Lyon shot, found him lying on Jtho floor ; found nothing near him; witness put his hand under his head raised him up, and found his neck brokon, as ho supposed; called him, but received no answer; he made one struggle and was dead—attempted to bring him In the house, and was advised by Mrs. Davis to come into the house for fear he, also might bo shot; I remainod in the houso sometime; somo neighbors came in—no one else; the explosion of the gun was very loud—shook the house; appeared to be near the well; had been liv ing there sineejt he first of August; know the premises well, having lived there pre viously; Mr. Davis'dog was thero most of tho time; was not very watchful; heard no barking that night previous to tho firing of tho gun; hoard no other noise; tho gun fired about dark or 7 o’clock; no one went back into the house with him from his brother; Sir. and Mrs. Davis be ing present, thoy spoko of sending for someone; witness',took his position in the corner of the house. Mr. Davis commenced talking to witness he begging Mr. Davis to stop. Davis said he had been expect ing this for some time, and that if his dog had been here this thing would never have ooccurred. Witness is acquainted with Charles Meinika; first saw him in Opelika in a beef shop, two or threo weeks ago; saw him again at Mr. J. D. Davis’ on the Saturday before, or a fow days before his brother was killod. Meinika lives near Opelika; he has a wife or woman living with him. My brother, Byrd Lyon, has a lot In Opelika, on Avhieh my brother and wife lived, he living in one room and his wife In another. Saw Meinika’s wife at my brother’s; tho last time 1 saw her she was quilting; when 1 last saw Meinika he was at J. L. Davis'; saw him sitting at the table; didn’t notieo Avhcther he was eating or sitting at the table conver sing, tho light not being as bright as usual; told him howdy; don’t remember having any conversation with him: saw him next morning: went with him to the cotton patch; talked with him, he saying that Mrs. Lyon had sent him for a horse to plough; he also something about a beef; ho remained there tho next day and night, when ho, Davis, and Mrs. Lyon’s llttlo boys left in a wagon for Ope lika. Meinika appeared to be assisting Mr. Davis in attending to business; never heard anything more about cattle, Mr. Davis and he leaving for Opelika; never saw him any more until now. A. R. Lyon Is my brot her; was at his house, in Ope lika, about ten days before his deceaso; havn’t been there since; sometimes A. R. Lyon and his wife were very friendly, and at othor times were quarreling; was present at interviews with A. R. Lyon and his wife; they had several quarrels; quarreled nearly every time I was there; don’t recollect what thoy quarreled about; only one time, they then quarreled about a cow; she came to his door and asked him If he was going to carry tho cow away, Ho told her he was, thero being nothing there to feed tho cow on. Don’t remem ber that there was any quarrel between them the last time I was there. Don’t re member whether the last time or time be fore. A. R. Lyon went to his wife’s door and demanded admittance; she partially opened tb*. door, and refused to admit him, ho wanting to see if any other person was In the room with Mrs. Lyon. Sho then shut tho door and went back and moved something. Sho opened tho door and told him to come in; he stopped Inside t lie door, (lien returned to his own room. I was not in the room with him, but board him ro turn to ids room. Haw hoard her tell him that he would not live longer t han Christ mas ; called him a stinking old buzzard, and that he ought to have been dead long ago. Sho lias wished him dead many many times, in his (witness’) prosenee. The conversation about the cow occurred about 30 days ago. A. R. Lyon was living at tho time of his death, at his old home stead, where J. L. Davis lives; lmd left Opelika about six weeks; was with him when last at his homo in Opelika: he bought something to eat and a little shot gun, which ho gave to my little son. He occupied while at Mrs. Davis’ a bed of his own. At the time of his, (A. U. Lyon’s) death, the furniture belonged to him. At the time of my brother’s death, he and his 4 Ife woro not sleoplng together; sho refus ing him admittance into her room, toiling him that he iwwl no business there; have seen a gun at Mrs. Davis' house, an army ! gun, the brooch being sawed in •o us to make it more crooked Instock; have soon it frequently; would know It If I wero to seeit again. The gun being produced, witness testified to Its being the same gun that he saw at J. L. Davis’. Davis, when ho went to l)|>ollka, remained about two days. Don’t know what he brought baek; have never seen Meinika there only Uieouo time. I wont there about tho Ist of August. cross-examined. The attachment spoken of is for rent against negroes; told my brother that if I wero In his plaeo I would not take out an attachment. Ho said ho would do It any how. My brother came down as bailee and took possession of the crop of JlmPalmore; don’t think he was much enraged at proceedings, though somewhat fretted. Don’t have any recollection .of having said that I would not takeout any attachments. Don’t remember Col. Bam ford telling him that he could not tell him about, the danger of taking out an attach ment; don’t recollect having told Mr. Da vis anything about thero being any danger of taking out un attachment against any negroes, though wo might have had a conversation upon the subject. About the first of the fall my brother wrote me a let ter to come over and assist him in attend ing to the gathering of his crop, at which time ho was vory ill—Dr. Huell treating him; don’t know how long he was under Dr. H.’s treatment. That Meinika told him at tho time he (Meinika) was at Mr. Davis’, that Mrs. Lyon told him to toll IVillie (Mrs. Lyon’s son) to come up and bring a mule to plow up a garden. lam a man of family—have been married three times—was married the last time about three years ago. Don’t recollect Mr. Da vis having said anything about selling a beef. Mr. Davis said ho ploughed the garden when he went up to Mr. Lyon's at Opelika. Mrs Lyon directed witness to go over to Mr. Meinika’s and tell his wlfo to come over and do some work for her. I recog nize tho gun here as the one being at Mr. Davis’; nevor saw any other gun there except tile shot gun carried there by my brother: went to my brother’s about the Ist of August; don’t recollect whether this gun was there at this time or not; did not notice whether the gun given my son by A. E. Lyou was in the room at night, noticed that it was there next morning. The night my brother was killed Mr. Da vis and I jumped up and rail to where he was. The firing of tho gun might have been a lit tie more that six or eight feet, or might not have been so far, from the cor ner of the woll-house. On tho night my brother was killed Mr. Davis saw his dog was not at home, but was probably at Dado Davis’. I won’t say positively that It was a week before my brother’s death that Meinika was at J. L. Davis'. Mr. and Mrs. Lyon frequently quarreled, Mr. Lyon cursing her at times. I sometimes milked tho cow. Tho dwelling has six rooms. Was witli my brother, assisting him In gathering the farm products, when ho was attacked; don’t know whether Miss Lizzie was in Mrs. Davis’ room the night of my brother’s death; was not looking out for women that night; told Mr. Davis if I was in my brother’s place I would not bother about the corn, it was so little and trifling; also stated that ho might got into some trouble about the gathering of it; don’t recollect saying anything to Dave Ennis, of Columbus, about the matter. RE-DIRECT. Boforo tho killing; of A. R. Lyon I saw Mr. Davis and Meinika in conversation on the door steps; they were talking; in a low tone, so low that I oouid not under stand what was said; thoy were sitting very close together. I saw Mr. Davis In town on last Wednesday; lie told me that, by G—d, Byrd Lyon ought to have been killod for a fool for marrying his daugh ter, for she only married him for his prop erty. J. F. WILLIAMS sworn, says: I reside in this county, and was acquainted with Byrd Lyon in his life time. For the last three years ho has been living in Opelika. At the time of his death ho was at his home near this place. I was in Opelika two or threo times dur his residence thero, and was at his house there about a month ago. I saw there Mrs. Lyon, and a girl called Amy. At supper time there was another woman there, who Ido not see hero. I cant call her name; think it was Mrs. Meinika. I staid there all night. Mr. Livingston was there with me. I talked with her about the division of property,and how they were gotting along together, sho saying he had shifted rooms, Lyon going into a room to himself on account of the nolso. She talked about my son Arthur, and said she and a woman had a dispute about him, and sho had fallen heir to him, and that old man Lyon’s life would soon be knocked out of him if he did not die. I said to her that it was dangerous talk, as she might talk it before sotno bust-head boy, and get him to kill Lyon to get her. When I was hitching up my team, sho came to me and asked me not to mention what she had sakl, to Mr. Lyon, ns it would make him very mad. 1 have been acquainted with Mr. Lyon 16 years, and with her about six years. I live about a mile from where Lyon used to live; I saw him after he came here from Opeiika. The first time I ever saw Charles Mein ika was at Crime’ beef market in Opelika about a month ago. Since then I think I have seen him at Mrs. Davis’. Mrs. Da vis spoke to him and told him to go to dinner. Though in hurry I noticed ho went slyly in, to avoid any notice from me. This was I think on Friday, about a week before Lyon was killed. His man ners was such as to attract my attention. This was about 12 o’clock on that day. CROSS EXAMINED. I llrstsaw Meinika about month ago. lie seemed to be employed by Mr. Criru. Mrs. Davis did notask me in to dinner on tho occasion that I went to tho house. I rodo part of the way home from Opelika in Mr. Lyon’s wagon; I did not say anything to him about our conversation. My son drove thoexpross wagon with Mr. Lyon's remains, and my daughter rode in the car riage with Mrs. Lyon. Ido not know of any hard feelings lxclween me and Mr. Lyon. \ ANDY MEADOWS, SWORN ; 1 am a farmer, and live in the Ninth Boat, about six miles from Crawford. Ou the night Mr. Lyon was killed I was at my brother’s store at the fork of the road leading from Columbus to Salem. That night a-man came to the store between ten and eleven o’clock ;iwhou he called I was lying on tbe bed, but got up, lit the lamp, and went to tile door. He asked me If that was the road to Salem, and asked for a drink of water. The man who came spoke a peculiar language: afterwards 1 heard the same talk at my brother’s house, Wednesday night. On Thursday I heax-d the same voice, and recognized it as Charles Melnika’s. jHore ho pointed out Charles Meinika as tile nian-l On the night of tho killing t ho man who came to my door waafaoti to Salem, JRSOIwI I iwwi ‘ lifter wo ielt, tho trial was continued ; j Mr. J.

Reese Crawford yesterday put In an appearauue as counsel for Charlie Me lniks and will henoeforth represent him. Meinika is well represented. Public opinion is undergoing a change, and it is hard to toll how matters si and. The trial will proceed to-day. ( Jill. UFXIYF.BY. - "■ ■——W'- TWELVE PRISON BBS RBCAPT. - ■■ ■ ■ About, sunset yesterday afternoon Mr. Jailor Johnson was passing coal into the prison, when Dan Barker and Toney Walker, colored, and Peter Finnegan, white, rushed upon and overpowered him, opened the doors, and, with nine ethers, made their escape. The plot, Toney Walker says, was started yesterday morn ing by Henry Davis and Frank Madden, both colored—the latter awaiting anew trial on appeal—having been convicted at a late term of the court of some high crime. * When they heard Mr. Johnson unlock ing the doors they concealed themselves along the wall and in the jams right and left of the door; and when it was unlocked they rushed on and choked him until he was powerless to Impede their flight. His cries for help brought Mrs. Johnson to the hall, but they rudely pushed her aside and made for the door and windows Of the dining-room, through which they passed and reached tho commons. By this time Mr. Johnson was himself again, and pistols in hand, went in pur suit with such vigor that ho soon got within shooting distance; but he thinks he did not hit his man. Ho and others chased the refugees Into tho woods back of Wynn ton, but only succeeded In cap turing one. There wore eighteen prison ers in jail, twelve of Wliwm are now at largo. Peter Finnegan, who has been convicted of murdering Chas. Wilding, is among them. Kilgore, charged with kill ing Coulter some two years ago, was sick and made no effort to join the escapade. All the escaped parties except Finnegan are negroes, and wero awaiting trial for various offences, from stealing potatoes to burglary at night. And of the six yet remaining in prison, all are negroes ex cept Kilgore—ono.of them a woman. Julius Johnson, one of tho prisoners now under sentence to the penitentiary for theft, not only did not join the gang, but when Mrs. Johnson vvas.boing rudely handled, went to her assistance, and in Mr. Johnson’s absence in pursuit, went out about the new jail and yard, and then returned to his inside quarters. Mr Johnson speaks in high terms of the gener al good conduct of Julius, which Julius is bold in declaring his innocence of the crirno of which he is convicted. This adds another to tho numerous in stances of the escape of prisoners from our county jail, and would seem sufficient to suggest to the County Commissioners the existence of a radical defect some where in the jail management. Hereto fore it may in some cases have been at tributed to defective fastenings, or to unfaithful keepers, but in this case noth ing is charged to the fastenings and Mr. Johnson’s faithfulness is unquestioned. Then where is the fault? We think it is in tho policy of not keeping a sufficient guard constantly present to aid the jailor iu any emergency. Buchan emer gency might arise but seldom, and it well provided for might never arise, but the expense would be justified by the perfect security of the jail. Let the County Commisioners and the Grand Jury now in session, consult on this subject. Our community is tired of jail deliveries, whatever the cause may be. Jelt'ersiin’s Love Baking. From the Detroit Free Press.] There was another victim to tho tender passion in those days who afterward grow famous—a young gentleman who eventu ally boenme President of tho United States, “apostle of Democracy,” and “sage of Montlcollo”—Mr. Thomas Jefferson. It is hard to contemplate this calm, collect ed, unexcitable man of politics and scien tist in the light of a lover; but Jefferson was, in his early years, a very susceptible youug gentleman. We are not left to con jecture on this subject. We have under his own hand—in his letters published by his literary executor in his “Life”—a most amusing account of his love affairs when he was a student at William and Mary College. Nothing more rollicking, gay, even extravagantly comic, could be Imag ined than certain passages In these epis tles ; notably that in which he describes at length and in detail how Satan came through a hole In the roof while he was asleep, and, taking the form of a rat, stoic his “gemmy-worked garters.” His fair enslaver, to whom he constantly re fers in these letters, was Miss Rebecca Burwell, tho daughter of a gentleman of Gloucester. Ho writes about her to his friend, John Page, Esq., afterward Gov ernor of Virginia, which office ho, too, was to hold. He is nervously fearful that somebody will discover who his sweet heart is; so, after the fashion of the time, he bestows upon her a name extracted from the dictionary of love—Belinda. Every fair one then was Chios, Daphne, or Florelia; Miss Burwell was Belinda. But “Belinda,” the suitor fears, is far too plain; his secret will bo penetrated, his movements be watched, his love discov ered. Therefore he translates “Belinda” into Latin, and calls the young lady Otun pana-in-die—“Boll-in-Day.” Greek letters were occasionally employed to wrap up from profane glances t lie dear one’s name, and it was even written backward in Greek, and becomes Atlniteb. Wo read of these follies of the after wards famous man with a certain amused interest,- and they seem to bring tho sage of Monticelloand “apostle of Democracy” a great deal nearer to us. lie is a man like ourselvos, not a more historic figure. He is not writing Presidential messages vet, but “dancing with Belinda at the Apollo’’—that famous room in the Raleigh tavern where the youth grown to man hood was to organize, through the com mittee of correspondence, resistance to tho British crown. He is a boy, and is in disputably in love in this good year of 1763, and ho courts and sighs, and tries to capture his pretty little sweetheart—as pious, it is said, as she was beautiful, and, like his friend, George Washington, fails. The young iady will not be captured. There is much reason to conclude that she gave Mr. Thomas Jefferson “the slipper,” sending him adrift the most unhappy of lovers, for we soon find him writing in the saddest strains absut his prospects; plan ning a sail boat voyage to Europe, and a return “through tho British provinces to i the northward,” and proposing schemes 1 for the future unconnected with hiadenr “Ompima~iii.4ie .’” this lady ifterwards married Mr. Mmfwnn Ambler, tho be loved and respected Treasurer of Virginia; and It Is a somewhat notable fact that' Miss Gary, who discarded Washington,! was united to Mr. Edward Ambler, broth er of tho gentleman who married Miss jßehecea Burwell, who discarded Jefferson. The dii majores of that epoch were unfor tunates, and seem to have boon taught by the saddest ekpeHences that “kissing goes by favor.” Another coincidence between the matri monial fates of Washington and Jefferson was to present itself. Rejected by Belin da, Tom Jefferson, os ho was called by his friends, betook himself to law and polities, seeking in dusty tomes and political as piration some slave for his grievous wound. The day came, however, when Cupid again asserted his sway. Jefferson made the aquaintance of a beautiful young widow—note that Washington, disappointed in love also, met with a lovely widow—Mr. Jefferson's "friend" being a certain Martha Skelton (the Martha being an additional coincidence,) a wealthy young dame of "The Forest,” In Charles City. , This young heiress he bore off from every competitor. All his accomplishments woro used to that end— hia wit, badinage, fiddle-playing, and lover-Uke ardor. At last he sucoeded and a great wedding took place at “The Eor est” on a night of winter, tho hugo log-fires driving away with, their blaze the chill of January, the same month in which Washington had married ids fair widow, Martha. On the next day the groom and his bride set out in their coach for Monti oello, then in process of erection on a spur of the Blue Ridge. At “Blenheim,” the houso of Col. Carter, near the mountain, they wero caught by a snow storm, forced to leave their coach, and compelled to continue their journey on horseback, floundering through deep snow drifts. Jefferson was in dispair, but tho bride was in the highest of spirits. They strug gled up tho mountain roads for eight weary miles, through a snow-shrouded landscape, and only arrived after night to find all cold, dark, and cheerless. But this did not abate the gaiety of the beau tiful young bride. She saluted her mis hap with laughter—a lire was soon kin dled in a little pavilllon—they found some wino and biscuits behind some old law books on the shelves, and hour after hour of the cold winter night was spent In song and laughter! A Poverty-Stricken King. The London Echo says; There is living now in Milan a man without a roof to cover his head, who, only n few years xgo, was a King. This personage is Leo VII, of Armenia, Prince of Karigosz, whose father was, in the year 184 G, dis possessed by the Russians. Shortly after this event the Inhabitants of Erivancalled his son to the throne, by tho name of Leo VII, but a simple command from St. Petersburg proved sufficient to determine his fall, tho only result of Ills brief eleva tion being the Jess of all his property, and tho withdrawal of a, pension of 12,000 francs which had been allowed to him by the Russian Government. Tho landless monarch had, indeed, some capital in English ami American banks, but this he tost In consequenlxe of rasli speculations. He then sold his jewels and other valua bles, and soon had absolutely nothing left. Ho is now living with his wife and six children In the bitterest poverty. Harder Will Out.
