MeEachren. 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.

We started toward Reich's; Mr. Ellis ! stopped us; after Holland Rod Ellis talked Holland proposed to go to the Sans Souei. as there was better beer there. As we passed the policemen at the corner Hol land called Cash to him ami asked him to ! deliver a message to Calhoun. Cash re fused. Holland said he did not intend to ! shoot Calhoun; ho had been to see him five times that day. They said something in fun about going to railroad or brick yard that night. Wo then went to! | Sans Souci an 1 drank eider; Howell drank beer. We came out; came up the street and met four men. j At first. I only recognized Bill Cash. Two of tho mon Were In front of tho othors. Holland and (Josh stopped and talking was commenced again. Howell and I went on a little ways.

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.

Don’t know who ho fired at. I crossed upi>or bridge. I told nobody that I had killed one (’ash and cut the other. I tried to cut Babe Cash after he shot at me. Wit ness, at request of counsel for defense here repeated the conversation liotwcen 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.

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.

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.

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. Itlver Xew*.
