GUILTY. AND IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE*
Sitlf* AIJ, April 28tji? 1
Editor Times: —The Meinika case was
concluded to-day. About 11 o'clock the
testimony closed in behalf of the defend
ant, when Solicitor Dowdell opened, and
Col. L. W. Martin closed the argument
for the State, and Col. Sac- ford opened,
followed by Col. Barnes, who made the
closing speech for the prisoner. Major
Waddell, as was arranged, intended to
close for the State, but was prevented by
indisposition. All the arguments, though
limited to 45 minutes each, covered the
were distinguished by
terwfujto fnjEloq Olmsn.
JißfgeJtolffJowiijiito the importance of
theajjaLay|i#te a written sketch or
skeleton w-hiefi" wasli very
able and the most Impressive ever deliver
ed in this court house.
After dinner, brought to them, the Jury
began to deliberate, and at 6 p. m. after
being out two hours, rendered a verdict
of "Guilty of Murder in the First Degree,"
and lixing the punishment at “Imprison
ment in the Penitentiary for life.” The
prisoner, for the first time since the pro
gress of his trial, betrayed slight agita
tion, and a deathly pallor momentarily
overspread his face. aftfs<l Uw
usual question by the Court wliyeinteAq#
should not be passed uponTiinu Meinika
replied: “Yes; lain innocent," adding
nothing else. When about to be taken to
jail again, Meinika asked for writing pa
per, and It is probable that, lie designed to
make a written statement of his alleged
treatment since liis arrest, or some further
revelation about the case, as he had be
fore intimated.
The Jury, as I understand, stood seven
to live for penalty; but after
v^?Hk) e W i S(l ll 'ki tl that as he
hug qpnfiiiisi-ilftiip 11 lorn (pdjjjmanifested
pciflWnce. tuff as it Was impossible to

Ihfr' rfisjfm rgW Iff* ttfe'ovhit of such a
possibility. However, there was at no
time, as I learn, any doubt In the minds
of the Jury as to the prisoner’s guilt; the
only question was as to the penalty.
MBS. DAVIS AND MRS. LYON
wore brought before the Court this even
ing, when their bonds for appearance at
next term were again considered. They
were further Strengthened by additional
names, and the parties permitted to go
home. to”\
The witnesses
to-day had neveroeeiion the stanaoe
fore, and as their testimony is brief, I
append it:
WILLIE CARLISLE,
son of Mrs. Lyon, deposed: Ho knew
Meinika, who stayed at his grand-father
Davis’ about tour days last fall; left
there in the night, didn’t know whattlme:
moon wasn’t high. Didn’t carry dinner
to Meinika at the old house in the field, at
tke time of Mr. Lyon’s death; Meinika
picked cotton for Davis wjiile there, and
slept with him at nightjf Ho (witness]
sometimes went to that room with a
lamp, and always sit it down at the door;
cottor. was in there. Knew the musket
shown him; it always sot at the foot of
ilr. Davis’ bed, behind the door; there was
a barrel of flour in the room, on the other
side of the door. He and Mehiika went
bird hunting while M. was there, with a
double and single barrel shot gun; neither
carried the musket: Meinika carried the
double barrel gun; Meinika was not a good
shot; one bird was killed, witnessed killed
it; after the hunt was over, and the bor
rowed guns returned, Meinika got the
musket and went to the spring to kill a
squirrel he hod seen; the musket was not
used for hunting; was sometimes used to
kill hawks; It was sometimes loaded,
sometimes not; niqskst caps on it;
Af. D*vis didn’t keep hi* door locked in j
tho*day time, he might at night.
DR, a L. WILLIAMS
deposed : Moimka; hail visited

report of tho jailor and Meinika himself;
opinion was that he was a weak-minded
man; by ttiis ho mqiint below the ordina
ry pUjMirs f men; £p(lep#yi
cause it; the rapidity of dementia is owing
to the severity and frequency of epileptic
attacks; ten or eleven attacks within the,
last three or four weeks coqM n#t hwvfc
effected tho mind six months previous]
COL. W. J. SAMFOBD
deposed : he had at request of Mr. Lyon,
drawn a deed by which Mr. L. conveyed a
piece of land in Russell, and a house and
lotiu Opelika to Mrs. Lyon and her
daughter; Mrs. L. signed the deed to
§ ci and Mr, L. to her, both to take
