A.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION!
The Cashes Have a Hearing
To-Day.
Yoaterday morning, tho Council Cham
ber w iih literally packed by a crowd of no
grotiH and white mon, all anxious to see
what facts would appear In tile prelimi
nary examination of ThomasMoEadiron,
charged with tho murder of Orlando S.
Holland. The two Cashes and McEach
ron were brought into court by sheriff TUT
Moore. Babe Cash had his arm in a sling.
MeEachren and Bill Cash had on citizens'
coats, and the regular police uniform.
The warrants for tho arrest of the three
parthw wore returned by the sheriff and
mad by Reese Crawford, Esq. They
charged the throe prisoners with the mur
der of Col. Orlando 8. Holland.
Tho prosecution of the prisoners rests in
the hands of Gen. H. L. Benning, Judge
Jos. F. Pou, Messrs. Ingram & Crawford,
Messrs. Blandford & Garrard, and A. A.
Dozier, Esq.
The defense was conducted on yesterday
by Mr. Carey J. Thornton. Messrs. Chas.
Coleman anil Thornton & Grimes, will also
appear on this side. This is a line array
of talent, and we may look for an unusual
display of legal ability.
Col. Porter Ingrain, on the part of the
prosecution said that he would prefer to
have tho examination in tho case of all
throe defendants at tin* same time, nnd at
once. Mr. Thornton replied that there
wore two warrants; the eases were severa
ble and lie wisliod to proceed with the
case of MeEachren. By the time this was
disposed of ho might be ready to take up
the ease of the two Cashes. Judge John
son decided that the cases were severable,
and that while all three of tho prisoners
were charged with the same offense, they
had a right to demand separate prelimina
ry examinations. The law allows great
latitude in these preliminary examina
tions, and if the caso was not severable It
might deprive someone of the accused of
the right which ho had to have the testi
mony of ids follow prisoners introduced.
Under this ruling tho case of Thomas Mc-
Eachren was taken up, and the following
evidence adduced;
THE STATE.
Dr. George Grimes, sworn-Am a prac
ticing physician; knew Holland; he is
dead; marie examination of his body;
found three gun shot wounds in his body;
slight one on his face; one wound about
left nipple, which I think struck the heart.
These three wounds caused death. Saw
deedhsod lying In the street in front of
Estes’shoo store; he was not dead; lived
four or five minutes. Ho was about six
steps from side-walk. It was about dark.
Crosrt-exaudpod Saw four wounds; can’t
say which killed him. The one in front
would surely have killed. This struck him
in front.
Re-direct--Maw one wound directly in
1 lolland’s back, and one almost so.
Cross Tho wounds In the back could
not have boon caused by shots entering in
front. It was impossible for any shots In
front to havo caused tho back wounds.
George M. Yarbrough, sworn Don’t
know MeEachren. Don’t know him as
MeEachren; don’t know him personally.
Knew Holland. Haw him last on Tuesday
lying dead. Saw him last alive In front of
Estes’ shoe store. Haw portion of the
killing of Holland. About seven o’clock I
was on sidewalk in front of C. A. liodd’s
store. Mr. Holland and Howell passed
Mr. Brantly and TANARUS, going up the street.
Mr. Brantly spoke to them. We remained
there a few minutes. I went back in Mr.
Whittle's store. Afterwards I came out to
shut the blinds, just as I was doing this I
hoard report of pistols. I looked up the
street. In front of Estes’door I saw live
men; saw another man down on the side
walk. Three men were shooting at him.
After several shots wore fired lie rose. 1
recognized Holland. The three men then
foil back behind somo posts. Holland ad
vanced ; they then foil back. Bill Cash was
one of the men; heard Bill Cash call an
other brother. Don’t know young Cush.
1 see tho third there, he had on policeman’s
dress. (Witness pointed out MeEachren.)
Have found out since his name is Mc-
Eachren. Saw him fire twice while on
sidewalk. He fired towards Holland. It
was about seven o’clock; about dark. I
could recognize a man I had seen often.
Holland lived not more than four or five
minutes. Saw him after he was dead.
The Cashes went down the street. Mc-
Eaehren went towards Boatrite’s store.
Saw pistol in MeEaehron’s hands. Saw
him shoot twice on sidewalk and once in
street. Babe Cash shot at Holland after
ho was down. Saw no demonstration on
Holland’s part before the firing. Dill not
see first shot. Some fifteen shots were
fired. There was about a minute between
first and lust shot I saw MeEachren
shoot soon after I first looked. He shot
twice, then all three fell book off the side
walk. Had not seen the Cashes nnd Me-
Eaehreu before firing. When MeEachren
fired Holland was down. Saw Holland
shoot He shot throe times after ho rose
and as ho advanced. Did not see Holland
shoot before MeEachren fired.
Cross-examined—Holland was going up
the street when I first saw him; did not
then see MeEachren; did not see Bill Qah
either, and neither or the Cashes. I was
standing on Whittle’s cellar-door when the
tiring began. I heard Bill Cash tell his
brother not to shoot Holland, that he had
killed him; did not hear Cash tell Holland
not to shoot his brother. I was near Cash
when ho spoke to his brother. When I
lirst saw MeEachren ho was on the side
walk; saw him there as soon as I saw any
of the men; was not much excited; saw
MeEachren shoot; saw him shoot three
times; ho had a big pistol; ho was eight
or ten steps from Holland when he shot.
The Cashes were not between MeEachren
and Holland. MeEachren halted, fin'll,
and then went on. Holland was down ;
when McEaehivn fired his first two shots;
when Holland rose, MeEachren fired
again. I did not see Holland shoot till lie
rose from the sidewalk; did not see George
Flournoy during the shooting; saw no cit
izens but Brantley and Wilkerson. How
ell was with Holland when they passed
me. Dr. Palmer passed soon after. I did
not see Howell shoot at all; saw Holland
fin? three shots; don’t know whether Hol
land fired before ho was down; don’t know
who shot first. Holland was down on the
sidewalk; he was on all-fours; he was!
against Estes’ door; the door was shut.
Re-direct—MeEachren fired a few sec
onds after the first shot. Hoard not a >
word before firing.
Judge Johnson—State who you roeog- i
nized when you first looked.
Witness—l recognized no one but Bill
Cash when I first looked up. There were
five men standing around. Holland had
not passed me more than four minutes
when firing began. Holland first fell noar
the door; ho then staggered toward the
street. Bill Cash shot first, as Holland
fell. Babe Cash shot after Holland fell.
Edward W. Ilowell, sworn On Monday
evening mot Holland at foot of Stairs
going in Chappell’s office; it was before
sundown. Holland told mo ho was waft
ing for Dr. Palmer. When ho came down
wo started cross street. I asked Holland
to go and take a glass of beer. Then Hol
land’s attention was turned to two mon to
my right; they wore Capt. Van Marcus
and Mr. Ellis; they talked to Holland.
We afterwards went across to Rosette A
Lawhon’s corner. Cash, MeEachren and
Flournoy wore standing there; we passed.
Holland turned and called Cash; told him
ho was anxious to see Major Calhoun, and
could not find him. Ho asked Cash to
carry a message for him. Holland said
ho was anxious to soe Calhoun. He usked
Cash to deliver message. Cash said he
could send a letter ; it was none of his
business. They had a few more friendly
words. Just before lie left, I said, “lot's
go.” Holland said “all right.” As Hol
land turned to go off, ho said jokingly,
“Cash, shall we moot at the race-track to
night about 10 o’clock ?” Cash said he
“would take the brick yard in his, as
there wore more trees there.” We all
Hi on wen! to the Sans Houcl; Palmer, Hol
land and I drank. We walked out the
door. As Holland went out door ho ran
his cane between his legs and tapjied
somebody, McMichuel, I think. Wo then
started to postoffice. Just then I saw Cash j
and tfoJSacbren leave tho corner where wo j
fiad left them and cross over street.
We met Bill Cash in front of Estes’ store.
When Cash was near us, he saluted some
body. Holland said, “Bill, don’t you for
get wliat I asked you.” Dr. Palmer thou
joined me; we went off a little ways and
talked. I looked around, and Bain* Cash;
hod joined the crowd; heard loud lan
guage; went to get Holland. Dr. Palmer j
said Holland would come on soon. I wait
ed about ten seconds, when Holland ask<xl ;
Babe Cash “what he had to do with it ?” |
Did not hear Babe Cash reply. I walked
to Holland. Bill Cash was standing in
front of Holland; *tho talking was going
on; I saw a pistol in Babe Cash’s hand;
Ills hand was on tho hammer. I caught
Holland; he pulled out his pistol and look
ed at Babe Cash; he patted his left hand
and told Babe Cosh to go away; then Bill
Cash stepped to the right. When Holland
spoke, Bill Cash said “don’t shoot him,”
and put his pistol at Holland’s breast and
fired; as he fired Holland fell backwards,
his right hand caught my ankle, he fell on
Ills knees and arms. Three shots wore
fired in succession. Capt. Cash backed off
the sidewalk. About tho time Bill Cash
fired, Babe Cash commenced firing; he
was rather behind a framework; once his
pistol was pointed at me the shot wont
into the air. After Bill Cash fired third
shot, Holland raised up and walked to
wards the street. As he was going Bill
Cash shot at him again, the shot came
near me. After Holland got in the street,
Bill Cash fired again. Holland then fell;
as he fell Babe Cash fired. Bill Cash fired
at him after he fell; other shots were fired
—don’t know by whom.
I know MeEachren by sight. I saw him
with Bill Cash at Rosette’s corner; did not
see MeEachren after he passed us. 11 was
about dusk; did not see Babe Cash at Ro
sette's corner. Some words passed be
tween Bill Cash and Holland. They seem
ed friendly. I was at the Sans Souci about
five minutes. As soon as we all came out,
we saw Bill (’ash and MeEachren cross
over ami come down the street; when we
mot there was more conversation between
Holland and Bill Cash; saw Holland lire
three shots. Capt. (’ash fired tho first
shot. Babe Cash shot as soon as Capt.
Cash commenced to shoot; four shots were
fired at Holland after he was down; a shot
was fired by someone while Holland was
crossing the Sidewalk; did not soe M<-
Eaehron there U> recognize him. A third
party fired two shots; did not sec him.
Cross-examined Was with Holland
about ten minutes before tho lirst talk be
tween him and Bill Cash. Holland told
Cash ho saw Calhoun every day. The talk
was friendly. 1 was a friend of Holland's.
MeEachren"'and FkuirnAy •were just in
frout of Cush. Dr. P. stayed behind in the
Sans Souci. He joined us before the? firing.
When Holland fell his hand caught my
ankle. I was by him when he fell. Palmer
went to th- crossing after the Inst shot. I
did not fire. Don’t know whether Palmer
fired. He had a knife. Raw him have no
pistol. Holland appeared to le sober.
Raid he had drunk no whiskey lor some
j time. Holland and Palmer drank cider,
i Don’t know that Holland was a violent
man. 1 have heard he killed turn man.
Never hoard of his killing more. When
Holland left Pn?er A Illgos’ steps he was
stopped by Mr. Ellis. After he left him, I
j asked Holland where we must go. lloi
; land said go to the Sans Souci. Wo
had to pass by Cash to go to the
Sans Souci. Think MeFji* hivn was with
Cash, and had on his uniform. Bill
Cash hail on uniform; think he wore a
hat. Did not see Yarbrough at tiring;
did nut so McEnchren there: was usurer
to Holland than anybody else. Holland
j told Bill Cash he hadn’t Uvn shooting
men in the hack, when Cash tojd him ho
had heard he would shoot Calhoun behind
his back. Cash said ho did not tiiink that
was Holland’s style. We met MeEachren
and Flournoy near Redd's while coining
from Sans Souci. I was Bober.
Re-Direct- I hoard that llnllund was !
tried and acquitted for killing a man.
Judge Johnson Did Holland have stick ?
Witness—He did. Holland said in a joke
j to Cosh, “shall we meet at raoe-trnck at 10
1 o'clock to-night?” Cash said, “no, I’ll
take the brick yard In mint'; there are
more trees there.” Cash and Holland
seemed to be friendly at this time. Don’t
think anything was meant by these ex
pressions. Don’t know whether Cashes
were wounded or not. Holland lirod once
at Bill Cash and twice at Babe Cash. This
was after he fell.
Dr. R. E. Palmer, sworn Knew Hol
: land; saw him after he last fell; examined
! his body; saw nine wounds; tho most im
portant were in tho breast and back. 1
had been in Chappell’s office on business.

passed the policemen at the corner Hol
land called Cash to him ami asked him to

up the street and met four men. j
At first. I only recognized Bill Cash. Two

Holland and (Josh stopped and talking
was commenced again. Howell and I
went on a little ways. We hoard loud talk
ing and looked around and saw theCashos
have pistols. Before we could got to them
they had shot Holland. Holland foil and
then fired. The Cashes shot again. I saw
the two Cashes with their hands on their
pistols. Bill Cash shot first. Babe Cash
shot second, then Holland staggered and
iirod. Don’t know how many times Hol
land fired. MeEachren was present at our
first meeting at Rosette's corner. Saw
MeEachren just before the firing. I saw
MeEachren fire twice after the Cashes shot .
I had no pistol. I had a knife.
Cross-examined I caught young (’ash
tefore ho shot the third time. Ho then
shot at mo. I shot at nobody. Holland*
had to pass Cash in going to Sans Souei.
I was behind Holland and Howell when
wo met the Cashes. Did not soe Holland
draw liis pistol until after lw>th Coshes

fired. lie then fired at Bill Cash. I left
after tho affair was over. I did not run.
When young Cash fired at me I com

noy. Bill Cash had on uniform. MeEachren
had on uniform. Saw McEnehren fire.
Don’t know who ho fired at. I crossed

Bill Cash and Col. Holland at Rosette &
Lawhon’s c >mor. ft was the same as has
already boon given. He. said that Mc-
Eachroii was a little way (iff during this
conversation. Col. Holland drank at times.
H<j was a violent man when he was
aroused. I have heard he killed a man
once.
Re-direct I drew my knife after Babe
Cash had fiml and cocked his pistol
again. 1 caught him to keep him from
shooting Holland. He shot at in \ and
then I drew my knife, i held his arm un
til ho fired four times. He was trying to
kill me all the time. Holland had two
wounds in his back.
The State hero announced closed.
DEFENCE.
George Flournoy, sworn -On Monday I
was at my place of business- Bout rite &
Clapp's. After I closcvl the store I wont
up to the corner; there I met Capt. Cosh
and MeEuehrou. They' asked me where
I was going. Holland, Howell and anoth
er man came across tho street. Holland
passed. I spoke. Ho went a little ways
and turned book, and conversed something
about taking a message to Maj. Calhoun.
Heard Capt. Cash say Holland could find
him on the street, or could write to him.
They seemed to be very friendly. Holland
and those with him crossed and went down
tho street. Then MeEachren and I crossed
and went down the street. We met Hol
land and the same two men about Redd’*
store. Cash was coming on behind us.
I When Holland and friends mot Cash, they
j all stopped and talked. I sent MeEachren
back to stop any fuss. MeEachren started
back. I went on a few steps, when I spoke
to Mr. Joseph; just then I saw firing. Me-
Eachren went back at nty suggestion. I
told him to “go back and prevent any dis
turbance on the streets.” I wanted to pre
vent any fuss. Did not see MeEachren
shoot. MeEachren was on duty, on Bill
Cash’s squad. Bill Cash was on duty.
MeEachren handed me his pistol. I don’t
think I ask*hl him for it. I was excited.
I did not examine it. The chambers are
not empty now. I don't know that it has
been charged since.
Cross-examined MeEachren handed me
his pistol a few minutes after he came to
the guard-house. Just before the firing I
was with MeEachren. He went back at
my suggestion. I went on down the street.
Joseph s(K>kc to me. The firing then com

Defence announced closed.
M ’EA (1H KEN \s STATEM EN T.
MeEachren’s statement was then made,
as follows:
Last Monday evening I and t’apt. Cash
met at the Rankin House. We went across
the street, then went up the street . When
w* got to Itosette A Law lion’s corner,
Flournoy came up. Holland and Howell
and Palmer came along. Holland and
t’ash talked awhile; could not hoar first
part of conversation, li grew louder, and
> I heard something about message to On 1-
| houn. Flournoy told Cash lie was glad ho
j did not carry the message. Bill Cash oall
|wi his brother from across street. 1 went
across the stnv*t with Flournoy. The two
Cashes were behind. When we got in front
| of Redd's store Flournoy sent, me back to
Stop any fuss. 1 went back and saw Hol
land and tho two Cashes talking. Holland
had a pistol in his hand. He spoke to Babe
Cash. Bill Cash said, “don’t you shoot
him he’s my brother.” Holland said,
"yes. I will, and you too, G and and n you.”
After a few more words Holland fired.
After which the Cashes fired. The firing
was then general I fired no shot. Hol
land cursed the Cashes. I cam© down to
guard-house and gave my pistol to Flour
noy. Ho said lie had Liken Cash’s and
wanted mine.
Tiie ease of MeEachren was here closed.
Judge Johnson asked if tho counsel was
ready to proceed with tho ease of tho two
Cashes. Prosecution announced ready.
Mr. Cuvov J. Thornton announced that
Mr. Charles Coloiuau was loading counsel
for Cash, and as he was not present
no stated agreement with regard to the
other case could lx' made. The Judge
insisted that he be informed as to whether
the other ease would Is' taken up. Mr.
Coleman was sent- for by the Court. The
prosecution stated that it was ready to
proceed 'with the case of the two Cashes.
After some little delay. Judge Johnson
asked the defense if it would be ready for
the preliminary examination of the two
Cashes tliis morning at nine o'clock. Mr.
Thornton said everything would then be
ready.
Judge Juteun said he would much pre
fer to have the whole ease before him be
fore he t<x*k any action whatever, and
therefore, ho would not dispose of McEaeh
ren’s ease until to-day. Something was
said about bail, but the Judge said he
would prefer not to entertain that question
then. R could properly come up to-day.
The preliminary examination of the
two Cashes will come off' at nine o’clock;
this morning. MeEachren\s case will bo
disposed of at the same time as theirs.
Tin* prosecution announced that it would j
introduce very little new evidence, but
would lot the evidence :vs taken in tin* cas.*
of MeEachren stand for the e ise of the
Cashes.
So the cases of all three of tin* prisoners
will lx* disprisini of this morning.
Mhootlnc Kcrapc—Nobody Hurt.
Yoaterday afternoon about four o'clock
the clear crack of a pistol waa heard on
Broad street. At the prosout time this
llttlo circumstance in amply sufficient to
produce quite an excitement, and booh a
crowd grthorod on the scone. Evrybody
expected to see somebody lying on the side
walk half dead, and a thousand other hor
rible sights, for the supposition of which a
pistol shot is ample foundation. Many a
man supposed as ho rushed around the
corner to soe wliat was the matter, that
some sudden heat of passion had found
vent in a desperate act, or that somo long
cherished animosity was at last appeased.
Whenever a pistol is shot, it is perfectly
natural to suppose that some terrible re
sult has followed.
When tho spectators came upon the
scene, however, all was tranquil and quiet.
No signs <f violence, no marks of a bloody
deed wore anywhere to be seen. There
stood a gentleman with a pistol in his
hand. He was flourishing it around in a
frightful style. 11c had caused all) the
turmoil. Of lati he has indulged in
rather Immoderate potations from the
flowing bowl and the effects of this con
duct are becoming very marked uj>on him.
He had gotten post tho usual boozy, hap
py condition of an average bacchanalian,
and was undergoing the inconvenience at
tendant upon seeing strange things all
around him in the air; all sorts of shapes,
from bine bottle flies up to winged ele
phants, wore floating around in the wild
est confusion. While In front of Dr. Mof
fet's drug store he thought lie saw a very
impudent monkey on the awning just
overhead, and being ill-disposed towards |
this saucy mimic, ho tried to bring him !
down with a trusty Colt’s. Whether he j
succeeded to his own satisfaction, or what
become of that imaginary monkey, we are
unable to say. An ugly looking hole was I
! made in tho awning by the bullet. The
j gentleman explained the cause of his ac-1
J lion, but policemen Pickett and Whit j
Smith couldn’t see th<; point, so they es- j
i corted him to “Robinson’s Hotel.”
Almost st liuLe Fire.
Yesterday morning a serious accident
i happened in picker room No. 1 of the Eagle
! and Pheuix Factory. A pile of cotton
caught fire by some means, and In an in
! stant was blazing. By quick action and
| coolness the flames were extinguished.
Only about, ten pounds of cotton were con
sumed. It is remarkable that the flames
<fiil not instantly spread over the whole
room. Cotton was lying loose all around,
and in considerable quantities. It is not
known how the lire started. Probably a
match in the machinery or something of
that kind caused it. It is exceedingly for
tunate that the fire was so promptly put
out, as serious results might easily havo
accrued from it.
