"The Curtain Kiiigß Down—Now the
Farce Begins—The Tragedy
is Ended!"
Yesterday morning tho Connell Cham
ber was again filled. It was understood
that tho eases of all three prisoners would
be disposed of, and that an application for
ball would also le disposed of.
At nine o’clock the Cashes and McEach
ren were brought into the court-room by
the Sheriff. The mother of the Cashes
came In with them, and soon afterwards
William Cash’s wife came In. William
Cash was dressed in complete police uni
form -the same clothes ho had on at the
shooting. When all was ready, the State
announced that It was willing to take the
evidence of the witnesses who were exam
ined In the case of McEachron, as it was
recorded, without consuming time by tak
ing It over again.
Mr. B. A. Thornton, for the defence, said
he would be perfectly willing to agree to
this proposition, but that neither honor
Mr. Charles Coleman were present at the
time those witnesses testified.
The defence waived any second examina
tion of the doctors as to the cause of the
(loath.
THE STATE
called Mr. Edward Howell, who testified
to the same facts that he had the day be
fore. He stabxl that Bill Cash shot first ;
Babe Cush second, and then Holland fired
as he staggered back, Babe Cash shot at
Holland twice after he was down In the
st reel. Ho testified also to aei .nversatioo
between Holland and Cash about carrying
a message to Muj. Calhoun, ilis evidence
was exactly like it was the day before, and
it produced nothing new.
l i, w. Walker, sworn--Was near tin*
Georgia Home Building when the bring
commenced. Saw part of tho killing.
Was going home. I met Mr. Watt. Ho
said ho thought there was going to boa
fuss between Holland and Bill (Hash. Ho
pointed down the street. I looked and saw
three men. Recognized Bill Gash. Saw
two other men. Suppose Holland was one
of them. About then I saw Bill Cash step
buck and fire. Holland fell backwards. I
saw another pistol Are. Suppose Holland
shot it. William Gash fired first. Holland
staggered back after this shot. I then saw
Babe Cash shoot, ileard no conversation.
I was fifty-one foot and six inches from the
spot. I stepped it next day. I saw Bill
Cash plainly.
Cross-examined My attention was call
ed to the parties by Mr. Thomas Watt. It
was dusk. There was a lamp, so that 1
could see tin* inen plainly. Don’t know
who stopped first. Heard no talking. I
am positive Bill Cash shot first. Gould see
him plainly. Saw no weapons in Holland’s
hands. Babe Cash was nearest to me.
Could not see Holland plainly. Could not
have seen a pistol in Ids hand. Bill Cash
was in front of Holland. Did not s<x3 How
ell. Baw Dr. Palmer once. Did not see
anybody but the three 1 have named, dur
ing the firing. Others might have been
there. Something was between me and
Holland. It might have been a man. Bill
Cash was out plainly on tho sidewalk.
Holland was next to Estes’ door, Saw
some obstruction between Holland and
me; may have been a man. Bill Cash was
where I could see him plainly -the lamp
light was shining on him.
Dr. Palmer, sworn Was present at the |
shooting. Examined body of deceased
about eight o'clock that night. Found nine
wounds on the body. Most important
were, one over the heart, one under right
arm-pit, and some in back. Gun shot
wounds caused hisdoatli. 1I(* had several
wounds in arms and hands. Saw tin* two
Cashes and MeEaehren shoot at him.
Those are tho men there.
BUI Cash shot first. About fifteen shots
were fired.
orosßX3xamine(l l rosklo in Marshall.
Am not related to (leceftßed. Have known
him three years. He was not particularly
quick to shed blood. 1 met him at Freer A
Illges’ corner on Monday, lie asked me if
I had any money. I loaned him a dollar.
Said lie wanted to gfi3t some beer. Saw no
arms on him then. Saw some after that.
This was an hour before the shooting.
Saw two pisiols on Holland afterwards.
One was a large pistol, the other a small ;
one; both revolvers. We passed Captain
Cash at Rosette Law lion’s corner. Me-
Eaehreu and Flournoy wore with him.
t Witness hero ropeatel the conversation
which there took place between Holland .
and Bill Cash. It was the same as Ims
been Vu/ore given.) Holland had a st ick
in his hand. We crossed after this, and
went down to tho Sans Souei. Holland
said nothing about Cash after lie left him.
Don’t know how many drinks Holland
had taken. We took cider and beer. Hol
land took nothing but boor. Holland did
not say he would kill Cash if he did not
carry the message to Calhoun. Com
ing back, wo met four men; two iu
front of the Cashes; I recognized Bill
Cash. Don’t know who stopped first.
Howell and I walked on, and left
Cash and Holland talking. Bill Cash
shot first. After 1 had passed, I
turned and saw there was going to be a
fuss. Before I got back to Holland the
shooting commenced, and in* was shot. The
two Cashes had pistols in their hands; saw
no pistol in Holland’s hand, Did not pull
my knife until young Cash shot at me.
Ho burned me badly at first shot. Had no
pistol on, I might ha ve had one later that
night. I tried to use my knife on young
Cash. Holland did not drink much this
year, lie over-drank some in January.
Since then ho drank nothing but beer,
that I know of. Have not seen him drunk
this year.
lie-direct Drew my bovvie kniff*because
young Cash shot at me. This was after
Cashes had shot Holland.
By the Court- -I met Holland in the up
per part of the city. Wo had arranged to
go book home together. Saw Holland
have no pistols when I loaned him the dol
lar. Saw pistols on him at Markham’s
saloon. Don’t know where he was carry
ing tlie pistols.
Re-direct- -When wo left Suns Souei we
started home to supper. Holland was
boarding just over the river.
Peter Freeman, colored, sworn—Know
tho Cashes. Have waited on them in the
jail. Witness was asked if he had heard
Bill Cash threaten to kill other men when
he got out of jail; whether he lmd said he
was going to kill a certain witness; whether
he had cursed Holland when he saw the j
funeral procession ; whether he had asked I
“why they had not burled tho d—n rascal
sooner?” and whether he had not made
various throats as to what lie was going
to do when he got out of prison. Defence
objected to the introduction of this testi
mony as Irrelevant. Tho charge was one
for killing, and no threats made by the
prisoner after the decern**d was dead, or
against anybody else, could bo introduced
as evidence. Tho State insisted on the tes
timony. It was introduced to show malice
in the heart of tho prisoner. Judge Pou
stated that tho .Supreme Court had decided
that anything bearing on tho case which
should occur within thirty days after the
killing, could Ix3 introduced as evidence.
These threats woro surely a part of the
rre grufae, and ought to bo introduced t
show the animus of the party accused. If
tho question of bail should como up, these
threats would be very important in influ
encing the amount of tho bond required.
Tho Court sustained the objection of tho ,
defence and ruled out any evidence about!
throats made in jail. The witness was .
then callod down.
The State here announced closed, re- ‘
serving tho right to offer testimony in re- 1
butfcal.
Thomas MeEaehren, sworn-Saw the
difficulty. About six o'clock X mot Bill
Cash at the Rankin House. We crossed
tho street and met the Sheriff. We all
then walked up tho street. Cosh way
going to supper. Sheriff left us at llo
aetto & Lawhon’s corner. Flournoy thou
eaiueup. Cash told Flournoy he was going
to liis supper. Then Holland, Howell and j
Palmer passed. Holland called Cosh out.j
They talked some tluv*. Holland began j
to talk loud. They were talking about
carrying a message to Maj. Calhoun. Dr. j
Palmef toJd Holland to com© off, Holland j
said something to Cash about meeting
him at tho fair ground: Cash said lie pro-1
ferrod tho brick yard. Flournoy told (’ash j
j he was glad he refused to carry tho ines- j
sage. Bill Gash then called his brother !
from across the street. Flournoy and 1 j
crossed tho street together. The* Cashes j
came on behind us. Flournoy and I ;
went down as far as Redd’s store, when j
wo met Holland, Palmer and Howell;
again. Wo went on a little further; Flour-1
noy told me to go back and stop any fuss. j
I went back. Saw Holland draw a pistol
and cock it. Hoard Holland curse young
Cash and ask him what ho had to do with
it? Gapt. Gash says “don’t you shoot him,
he’s my -brother.” Holland said “Yos I
will and you too, G—d and n you.” Holland
then fired and shooting commenced. How
ell and Palmer were in front of Cowdery's
store. Baw no one else. Hoard Cash say
nothing to Holland. Bill Cash wn
wounded twice by Holland. Babe Cash
was wounded by Palmer once, and once by
somebody (rise.
Cross-examined Mot Cash about six
o’clock near Rankin House. We were both I
on duty. We went on to Rosette A Law
lion’s after we met the Sheriff. We had
not been there long when Holland and j
party came on. Did not hoar all Uutfc j
passed between (’ash and Holland at cor- j
nor. Did not seo where Holland and party !
went to. They had been gone about ten |
minutes when I and Flournoy loft. Ho j
asked me to go to supper with him; he j
asked Bill Cash too. I left Bill Cush wait- j
ing for his brother. Flournoy sent me j
hack to stop any fuss. Flournoy and I met
Holland and party near Redd’s store. We j
were forty or fifty yards from where Cash
and Holland met. Flournoy told me to go !
back. I got in eight or tea feet of them !
before firing took place. Holland drew ■
pistol when I was about twenty yards off. j
It was about dusk. I arrested Babe Cash ,
after the firing. I saw Palmer ruu and
catch Babe Cash. I did not shoot at all. I
Did not take pistol out at all. Bill Cash
had one pistol. Palmer had a pistol a
revolver. Did not see Howell have a pis-1
tol. My pistol used a brass cartridge. I '
never told anybody I shot. Did not tell]
Brantley so. Did not tell parties I shot. ]
By the Court Bill Cash and Holland i
had not had any previous difficulty that Ii
know of. They seemed to be friendly when I
j they were bilking at Rosette & Lawhon’s |
corner.
George Flouruwy.’ a worn This witness
testified exact ly what he did on tho previ
ous day. Was at Rosette & Lawhou’s
corner with Cash and MeEaehren; came
across tho street with MeEaehren. Bill
Cash called his brother, and they came on
behind. Also, repeated tho conversation
which took place between Holland and
Cash at Rosette &. Law lion’s corner. Met j
Holland, Howell and Palmer again in front j
of Redd's, store. After he c rossed street,
sent MeEaehren back to stop any fuss :
when he saw Holland and Cash talking,
oxpectod there might be a fuss. Was con
siderable distance from thoslpKiting. Don’t
know anything about who shot first, or
whether McEachron shot or not. Was
going down to a restaurant when firing
occurred. MeEaehren was with him.
The witness had testified to these same
facts twice before, and nothing new was
developed by bis testimony. We have
given it in full twice. The above is all that
It contains of any importance.
James T. Long, sworn I was at my
place of business, on Broad street, when
the firing commenced. As soon as the
first shot was fired I ran towards tho
shooting. Met Dr. Palmer near Abell's
corner. Ho had a revolver in his hand.
He was coming from the scene of the
shooting. H* put tho revolver in his
pocket. . i
Cross-examined- Anr sure Pay qpr had a
pistol. It was a medium slaedrevolver.
Saw him put it in his pocket. Saw none
of the firing. It was light enough under
the gas to see very well. Know a pistol
when I six* it. Dr. Palmer went up the
street after he passed me.
Re-direct Dr. Palmer was in a trot., go
ing up the street.
W. L. Cash, sworn On Monday evening
my squad was on duty. Had been riding.
Put my horse up, and met McEachron on
Broad street. Tiff Moore came along and
spoke to us. We stexxl and talked a few
moments. We walked up the street with
Moore. When wo got to the corner we
stopped. MeEaehren ;uskoil Moore for
some tobacco. Moore went into Rosette
A Lawhon’s and got some tobacco and
gave McEachron some. Moore then left.
Flournoy came along and we spoke to
him. He stood there a few moments. We
saw Holland, Howell and Palmer going
toward Reich's. I paid very little atten
tion to them. When they had gone about
ten paces toward Reich’s, they turned and
came by us. I Spoke, and they also did.
After Holland passed, ho spoke and called
me. He wanted me to carry a message t o
Calhoun. Said he did not want any fuss
with Calhoun. Holland said I saw Cal
houn every day. He was anxious for me
to see Calhoun for him. He said Calhoun
had bought some books from Keller, who
was a thief, and stole the bookß. He said
it had been reported that he would shoot
Calhoun iu the back. I told him I would
not think he would do so. He said that
Green Andrews was his authority for this
information about the report. I told him
Green Andrews had told Calhoun that he
(Holland) was crazy. We had some pleas
ant talk about meeting at the brickyard
or race track that night. I saw my broth
er aerowithe street, and called hlnn He
was going up to Moore’s gallery. We went
on behind Flournoy and McEachron,
across the Street They were some dis
tance In front of us. About Estes’ store I
met Holland, Howell and Palmer. Hol
lamWagoin asked ine to carry the message.
Said he would not go to the Rankin Hons©,
for Mr. Ryan had insulted him. Ho asked
mo to carry a stick to Calhoun for him. I
refused. 31 y brother offered to earn' the
stick. Holland told him ho lmd nothing
to do with it. Holland then asked him if
he wanted anything from him. My
brother said he only wanted to be accom
modating. Holland said if ho wanted any
thing lie could get it “dawned easily.” As
ho said tliis, he drew ids pistol. I told
him not to shoot him, he was my brother.
Holland said he would shoot him and me
; Uxj. Ho then turned and fired at mi*.
| [Witness then exhibited u hole in his coat,
j which ho said was made by tho ball]. 7/oi
! land then fired at my brother. 1 thought
!it was time to defend rnvseir. I stood In
!my tracks and shot every chamber of my
i pistol at Holland. I had a self-cock ing
pistol. Do not think MeEaehren slut.
After the shooting I arid my brother went
down tho street together. Think MeEaeh
ren arrested my brother.
The State did v t wish to cross-examine
tho.prlsonor, and ho came down.
William Wood, sworn I knew Holland.
Here the witness was asked if he had ever
heard Holland make any tlirouts against
! Gash.
I The Stale objected to the question on
| the ground that no threats made by tho
j deceased against the accused could be in
i troduoed, unless tho defence could show
that those thro itrt had been communica
ted to the accused previous to the killing.
Mr. B. A. Thornton slated that the Su
preme Court had decided that threats
could Ixs intruduciHl as evidence, to show
the animus of the deceased. It made no
I difference whether the threats had been
| communicated to tho accused or not.
] Judge Jos. F. Pou replied, denying the
| fact of any such decision. He stated that
! Mi\ Thornton was wrong about the mat
| tor. Ho was evidently thinking of another
j decision of the Supremo Court. That Court
! has decided that throats made by the kill
| ing party maybe introduced os evidence.
! [t has never decided that threats made by
the deceased could be Introduced unless
they had boon communicated to the ac
cused. *
Judge Johnson stated that he had occa
sion to consider this point when quite a
young man. As f; x>n as tho Supreme
Court was established this question was
referred to it for settlement, as it had long
been mooted. He was of the opinion that
the Court had decided that threats could
be introduced. He overruled the objection
| of the State.
Witness hero resumed: Was in Bans
j Solid about 11 oVlx k Monday. Several
gentlemen were there. Holland was there.
He tapped me on t he shoulder and showed
mo a stick. Said it was Calhoun’s stick
and Cash had to carry it back or he would
kill him. Holland and McMielnel went
back and rolled ten pins for drinks. Hol->
land lost. X was included in the drinks. I
told Holland he had told me ho had quit
drinking. He said it wastoogood to quit.
Roomed to be in a good humor.
Cross-examined llcMiehael won tho
treats. I took whiskey in mine; don’t
know what the others took. McMiehael
and Holland Rolhxl ton jflna for treats.
I M©Michael rolled two balls and Holland
j throe. Holland lost. Don’t know what
| kind of a stick he had in his hand. 1 took
| his threat to kill Cash as a joke. He said
|it pleasantly. Told < ’ash nothing about it.
I set up the plus for Holland and 3fcMF
| chad to knock down.
[ It. W. Lodging©r, sworn Heard Hol
| land two or tliree weeks ago say sonic
| thing about Gash. I wa-s with Holland.
| Cash was sitting in front of Georgia
! Home. As vv*; jiassed Holland spoke to
l Cash and another policeman. We went on
down the street Holland said he always
! stopped and talked to Cash. Said Cash
j had made some insulting remarks bdiind
liis back. Said if Cash ever said these
things to his face, he would kill him. ,1
never told anybody of this. Did not ta

| W. E. Barnard, sworn- -Soon alter the
Mayor’s elation, I met 11-tlUviul in a bar
room. He said to me, “Halloa, Cash.” 1
said that was not my name. 77© said, “I
S(*o you go with that G and and -n s- nofa

Defence introduced Mayor Mellhenny,
] sworn On Monday night was on tnirner
jof Court-house square. Was talking to
I two policemen when firing commenced.
We started in direction of the firing. 1
asked several parties what had happened,
| but could not learn. On Broad street 1
met the two Gashes and McEaciiren. They
j said a difficulty had occurred. I kept on
up the street. MeEaehren was walking
with Babe Cash.
Defence here announced closed.
; The case was submitted without argu
; inont, by agreement of the counsel on
both sides. The defence stated that the
j prisoners had applied for bond, and that
j it- was hoped the Court would not make
j the bond too large. The financial eondi
: tionof tho accused ought to Ix3 considered.
DELUSION.
Judgp Johnson in rendering his decision
j said:
“This investigation is not a trial. The
guilt of the parties Is not to be determined
by it. This investigation 19 held simply !
to determine whether the parties accused
should be held for a trial. When a man is
killed our law makes it either murder,
manslaughter, or justifiable homicide. A
man has undoubtedly been killed. The
question Is whether the parties accused
ought to bo held for trial. In almost every
(3ase of homicide there ought to be a trial.
Even where the homicide la justifiable tho
accused ought to want a trial. I have
always urged grand juries to bring men
to trial. They too>ften pass on their guilt
or innocence. In nearly every erase there
ought to be a t rial. Tho present Glerk of
the Court , when Sheriff, killed a man in
discharge of his duty. I thought ho ought
to havo been put upon trial. He was per
fectly Innocent and was justly dismissed.
It would have been better for him to have
had a trial, and been acquitted by the
country. I think that there ought to be a
trial iu this case. Ido not think the true
cause of this difficulty has boon devel
oped. It will appear at a trial. There is
something yet behind, which a trial will
bring out. I think 1 ought to hold these
prisoners for trial. They have applied for
bail I shall give them bail. I think ball
will bring them up to trial. It is some
times very difficult to assess bail. I shall
assess sufficient bail to bring them up to
trial. The law allows me to bail when I
think that bail will bring them to trial. I
shall consider the condition ofdlm accused
in ail respects, and assess just such bail
as I think will bring them to trial, without
being oppressive. I shall make a differ
ence In the bond required of tho two
Cashes. I shall not require the younger
to give bo large a bond as his brother,
simply b<M*auso he is younger and notable
to give it. It is the judgment of the Court
that all three of these prisoners Ix3 held to
stand their trial; and on their application
for ball, it is decided that Captain (’ash be
inquired to give a bond of §2,000 for his
appearance; that Edward Cash bo re
quired to givs a bond of $1,500; and
Thomas MeEaehren a bond of $1,000.”
Judge Johnson stated that ho would
approve the bond if it was procured to
day.
BONDS GIVEN.
McEachron and the Cashes gave the re
quired bond yesterday afternoon. The j
bonds required of the parties were so re- j
markably small that we suppose they had j
no difficulty in giving them. MeEaehren j
gave as his bondsmen his brother, Edward j
McEachron, and John Mohaffcy. The two
Cashes, we hear, gave Messrs. M. M.
Moore, John Foran, Wui, Wood and G. E. i
Gager. \YY also hear that Bill Wadsworth, i
colored, was one of the bondsmen.
The prisoners have all been released.
Th<* amount and circumstances of the
bond were discussed everywhere yester-!
day. Opinion seemed to Ix3 all one way,:
and its direction could easily Ix3 discerned ]
in tho question which was asked on all
hands: “Did you ever so© the like?”
The deed has been done; the perpetra
tors have, given tlie little bonds required
of them, and are free, //ore ends the first

Last night about nine o’clock, two of the
' factory operatives had a little difficulty in |
front of Rosetto A Lawhon’s store. Resort i
was speedily had to cold steel and one of
the parties was 4>adly hacked up; he re
ceived several cuts in tho face. Policeman
Whit Smith heard the row and came up to
arrest the parties. The man who did tho
cutting escaped gaily down the street.. Of
the origin of tho difficulty we are not in
formed. It was probably a quarrel about
some little matter. The wounded man Is
not seriously hurt, though ho shod his
manly gore all around the promises.
[Communicated.]
Dr. J. E. Blount, oue of the gentlemeu who of
fers himself as a candidate for Sheriff of Musco
gee, Is not only well known in this vicinity, but
has a wide-spread fame in tho adjacent counties.
In 1866 he was elected to tho State Senate from
the 12th Senatorial District (composed of tho
counties of Stewart, Quitmau aud Webster) with
out opposition, and Ailed that position to the ou
tire satisfaction of his constituents. Ho subse
quently was elected .Judge of the Inferior Court '
of Stewart county, aud Ailed that place of trußt
until tliat Court was abolished by the constitu
tion. He was an officer of the Confederate army
during the war, and while bo was as bold as a
lion in the defence of the “Lost Cause, *’ since
the surrender be has been as peaceable as a lamb, j
seeing no use, os he said, for weakucas to resist i
power. If all the Are-oaters had followed his ad
! vice, perhaps we would have been better oA’ than
we are now; and, notwithstanding ho has hereto
fore acted with the Republican party, he has
tilled all thf? places of trust to which he has been
called with fidelity and efficiency, and this being
a race in which politics is not involved, it is be
lieved that if elected Sheriff of Muscogee he will
make a good oue. Democuat.
