The Festival.
We regret that we have not tile space
give a full account of * this de
lightful entertainment, which was given
in the Baptist Church yard last night.
The yard was beautifully lighted with
Chinese lanterns and candles. It looked
very pretty Indeed. Refreshment tables
were In all parts of the yard. They were
presided over by the young ladies of the
church. The attendance was quite largo,
and the crowd was one of the jolUost we
over saw. The tables were well patron
ized and a considerable sum seams to
have boon realized.
At the conclusion of the fun in the yard,
Prof. Chase played the organ in the
church. Ho touched it with a master’s
hand, and mado fine music. His 'Toot
and l’eusuut” was splendid.
The festival was delightful, and every
body enjoyed It.

TRIAL OF W. L. CASH
I'Olt MIHUEK.
wEcoan on .
Yesterday morning court met promptly
at half-past eight o’clock. The examina
tion of witnesses for the State was contin
ued.
The Court-house was full all day long,
and In tho afternoon was very hot.
The following is thg testimony taku#
yesterday:
Ur. Palmer, sworn: Ou the evening of
the 29th of March I oamo over to Colum
bus. 1 came across tho upper bridge. I
met Holland near the engine house. Ho
beckoned to me. I met him. Ho borrowed
one dollar from mo to get beer. Wo went
on down the street. We went Into Mr.
Markham's to got some beer. Wo went
into a back room and hud the beer sent to
us. Wo stayed there an hour. This was
about live o'clock. Wo then went across
the street and down to Choppers office. X
went up stairs. Got through with my
business. Met Mr. Howell ns I came down
the steps. We all started to got some boor.
We started across the street to Reich's.
Mr. Ellis called Holland back. We waited
u few minutes. Mr. Ellis talked to Hol
land somo time. Then Holland said, "Lot’s
go to the Sans Souci; there is better bher
there." We crossed the street towards
Rosette It Lnwhon's corner. As we crossed
we passed some men. f recognized one—
BUI Cash. We had pass'd the men about
twelve feet, when Holland said to Cash
that he wanted him to carry a message to
; Mr. Calhoun. Cash refused to carry It.
Col. Holland said ho wanted no difficulty
with Calhoun; he wanted to see him on
business. Cash said he could get a mes
sage to him through the postoffiee. Col.
Holland Insisted on Cash delivering the
message; said he had tried to see Calhoun
and that Calhoun was afraid of him, and
he could not see him. Calhoun was afraid
ho would shoot him in the back. He said
i ho "hadn't been a doing it." They talked
i for some time; don't remember all that
was said. Holland said he wanted to see
Calhoun In his own interest, about some
books of J. T. Holland A Cos. Cash said he
didn’t know' whether he would deliver the
message at all or not. When they were
about, to purt something was said about
Greene Andrews. Cash or Holland one
said that Andrews had conveyed the idea
to Calhoun that Holland would shoot him
in the back. They parted in good humor.
Holland said, “Cash, where shall I meet
you to-night?-at the race track?” Cash
said, "You had better meet me at the
brickyard; it is a better place.” Howell,
Holland and I walked across to the Geor
gia Home building. Wo went on down to
the Sans Souci. Wo called for )>eer there.
Bar-keeper said he had no beer but had
some cider. Holland and I took eider.
Mr. Howell called for whiskey. After this
Col. Holland proposed to go home to sup- j
per. I consented. We all started out to- j
gether. Mr. Ingrain called me hack. He
detained mo a little while. They got a
little ahead of me. I loft Ingram and j
walked rapidly to overtake them. I had
nearly overtaken them, when we met two
men; passed them and met two more. I
knew one of them—William Cash. He and
Holland met. H. told him not to forget
what ho told him. Howell and I walked
on to Powdery’s store. This was about
twenty feet from Cash and Holland. We
waited for Holland. We soon heard some
loud talking. Howell said we had better
go back and get Holland. I said ho would
come on directly. Howell and I talked
about something else. Tho talking be
tween ( ’ash and Holland assumed an angry
tone. 1 said to Howell he had better go
back and get Holland. I thought there
might be a difficulty. I saw a pistol out.
We started back. Before 1 got there the
firing commenced. William Cash shot
first; then Ed. Cash fired. Col. Holland
staggered back and fell back on his right
hand. He then tried to draw his pistol.
They fired again before he got ins pistol
out. lie then fired In tho direction of Wil
liam Cash. The three were standing in a
triangle. Holland was next to the door,
Bill Cash was below and Ed. Cush above.
When the firing commenced they were
within two or three feet of each other. I
saw Bill Cash shoot at Holland twice. 1
saw other shots from tho same direction.
Babe Cash shot Holland twice and pointed
ills pistol at him again, when I caught his
hand to keep him from shooting H. again.
I said ho was shot down. He was trying
to rise from his feet then. Ed. Cash fired
at me when I caught his hand. The ball
grazed me. The souffle between mo and
him tasted until Holland fell in the street.
As Holland fell a man fired down on him;
think it was Bill Cash. After the firing
closed don’t know what became of the
Cashes. I was almost blinded by the
powder. 1 felt Holland’s pulse ami found
it was still. He was lying on his right
side; his feet were towards the sidewalk.
I examined his body that night. Am a
practicing physician. Found nine wounds
on his body. (The witness hero described
the wounds, giving tho same description
vs Dr. Griraos, only somewhat fuller.]
Witness probed tho wounds with his fin
ger. Tho wounds were of different sizes.
One of the largo wounds was about the
left nipple. The wounds were sufficient to
produce death. One was certainly mortal;
two others may have boon so. During the
firing McEachron shot twice from the
sidewalk below. These shots were fired
about the time Holland staggered back.
Bill Cash got off the sidewalk and got be
hind a tree box. This box encloses two
trees. There was an awning post near the
box. I saw tho two Cashes have pistols
before the firing commenced. I then
started toward them and Holland. Bill
Cash fired first. Ed. Cash fired almost si
multaneously; the two Cashes then tired
again very fast. Holland staggered after
the first shot. He rose with his pistol. At
the time of the shooting I heard some
talking—dont know what it was. It was
light euough to seo very well. A person
standing at Rosette’s corner can see ail
the way to the Sans Souci.
Cross-examined: I live in Marshall, Ala.
I came to Columbus about four o’clock in
the afternoon. Met Holland near the en
gine .house. Lent him a dollar. We then
went to Markham's. We staved there an
hour or more. Wo were in the hack room.
This was a drinking saloon. I did not play
cards. Think Col. Holland played. Don’t
remember all who were present. Mr.
Howell was not there, I think. Don't n>
mombor how many drinks we took there.
Don’t remember that I told Markham to
charge all the drinks to mo. Holland may
have taken two or threo drinks. Don’t
know what game of cards Holland and
the others played. Remember no distur
bance. Don’t know why the game was
broken up. Remember Holland’s laying
two pistols on the table. They wore all
laughing merrily when the pistols were
taken out. Did not see Holland take up
the pistols; did not sec him leave them.
Don’t know what timo it was when Hoi- j
laud came over to Columbus. Think I saw :
him in Marshall that morning. Think we '
wont down tho went klo of Broad straet.
Don’t remember that Holland talked to
Mr. J. A. Frazer. As I came dowu Chap
pell’s steps Howell was with Holland. I
saw two policemen then at Rosette A
Lawlion’s corner—one of them was Hill
Cash. Holland was near the same place
ho was when I went up stairs. 11 "well
proposed to me to go and get boor. We
all started toward Abell's corner, when
Mr. Ellis called Holland back. Ellis and
he talked a minute or two. Howell and 1
waited on tho sidewalk. When Holland
came back he said there was better lager
at the Sans Souci, nnd we started there.
Wo [Missed Cash. Think I went on the in
side of the lamp-post. Don't remember
anything that Cosh said. Think he spoke
to me. We then started across the street.
Holland called Cash after he hud patsm-il
him about twelve feet. He said he wanted
Cash to deliver a message to Calhoun.
Heard no angry words. Cash seemed to
be displeased when Holland insisted on
Ids taking the message to Calhoun.
Holland insisted on Cash carrying a mes
sage to Calhoun. Holland said nothing to
either Howell or I about carrying a mes
sage to Calhoun. Don’t know what
brought forth Holland's proposition to
meet Cash that night. It was said in a
very Jocular manner. At the bans Koucl 1
ami Holland drenk cider. I went into the
backroom. Think Holland went Into the
yard. Just as wo started out Holland
Hiked me to go to supper with him. Don't
know where Holland’s family lived. Was
at a house that night where some of Hol
land’s family were. It was south of the
buns Souci. Holland boarded on the oili
er side of the river. Did not hear Hoi- j
land say he wanted to see John Brown.
Wc were going to supper. Holland nnd
Howell went up the street together. We
met the men i spoke of about Redd'a
store. I overtook Holland just as he met
the Cashes. They wore coming down tin
street. They were on tho outside of the
walk. Holland reminded Cash of the mes
sage. They all then stopped. In the loud;
talking I heard Holland say, “go away
and don't bother me," to young Cash. 1
went on to Cowdery’s railing. I did not
pass on to the corner. I may have passed
two young men. I did not see them. Did
not go to the corner. I went back when
tho loud talking commencod. Howell und
I were about twenty feet from Holland
and the two Cashes.
Witness here showed his position on a
diagram of the grounds. Ho also pointed
out the position of the two Cashes, Hol
land und Howell.
Witness continued: Howell and I did not
go back at the tlrst loud talking. Don’t
know what became of Howell after this,
when the*ll ring commence 1 before I got
to the parties. Don’t know whether How-
I ell was there or not. Did not sec Howell
by Holland. I caught Babe Cash. When j
Holland was talking to Babe Cash I did ,
not see anything in his hand. Did not
sec his pistol there. Holland was talking
to young Cash when I started back,
j When I took hold of Babe Cash he fired
lat me. I threw his arm up. He fired and
j cocked his pistol again. I then drew ray ,
j bowk* knife and tried'to cut him. I don’t
know whether I cut Cash or not ; t ried my
best. Don’t suppose I cut him. Young
Cash and I were above Bill Cash and Hol
land. I was about twelve fe*t from Bill
Cash. After the shooting was over I went
to Holland. Col. Barden was there and
told me to send for .a doctor. I then went
across the river. I went up the right
hand side of the street. I did not shoot
that night at all; had no pistol; picked
up no pistol off the ground. Don’t think
1 got the scabbard off of my knife. Did
not toil Julius Clapp that I cut El Cash
twenty times. I and Ed Cash scufll*M| a
little above the tr*M*>x. Did not run up
the street and leave my hat. I walked
fast. I did not want to be arrested, and 1
wanted to tell Holland’s brother that he
was killed. Don’t think anybody shot at
me while l was going up the street.
Shooting was over when 1 left Holland.
Holland was noarest Estes’ door when the
firing commenced. Don't know how long
it was betweon the time Holland drew his
pistols at Markham’s and the time of the
firing.
Re-direct: In the scuffle mv hat fell off.
I picked it up before I left. I had no pis
tol. Never carry a pistol ns a habit.
Don’t remember when I put up my knife.
Don’t think l got the sheath off. I talked
to two nieces of Col. Holland at Mrs. Des
sau’s. 1 was afraid the policemen would
club mo. I wanted tho sheriff to arrest
me.
Cross-examined: l talked to Miss Emma
Smith and her sister at Mrs. Dessau's.
They wore Holland’s neices.
George Yarbrough, sworn: On the 2bfch
of March last, Mr. Brantley and I were
standing on Broad street just in front of
Mr. Redd’s store. While we were there,
Holland and Howell passed up the street.
I spoke to Howell. Brantley spoke to Hol
land, and told me who he was. We re
mained there u few minutes. Brantley
said something about going to supper. I
went in to close up the store. I mean J. J,
Whittle’s store. Brantley waited at the
door. I went in and came out to close the
shutters. Just as I walked out and was
fastening the blinds, I heard a pistol shot,
i looked up the street at once and saw five
or six men In front of Estes’ shoe store.
They were about fifteen stops from me. I
recognized Bill Cash. He was standing
with his pistol presented. 1 saw a man in
front of him stagger back against Estes'
door. Just then a policeman between me
and Estes’ door stopped out a little to the
loft. I then saw a man on his all-fours in
front of Estes' store. While in that por
tion, I saw three men fire at him; they
were the two Cashes and McEachren. I
saw McEachren fire two shots at Holland
while he was down. Don't know how
many times Bill (kish shot; he shot so
fast I could not toll. Ho had his arm out,
and firod several limes without bringing
his hand back to cock his pistol. About
tills time Holland began to rise. Just as
lie was rising, McEachron was tho first
man to retreat. He wen! to the edge of
tho sidewalk. The Cashes foil back behind
some posts. Firing continued from be
hind the posts. Could not see which way
tho men were tiring. McEachren had
fallen back about eight or ten .steps. He
was in lho street. Then? ho fired another
shot. Holland was advancing on the
Cashes then. As soon as McEachren fired
he whirled around ami walked across the
street rapidly. I saw him about half-way
across; the last time I saw him he was
there; I saw him no more that night. I
then saw two men scuffling behind the
posts in front of Estes’ shoe store. Did
not recognize them. The souffle lasted a
few seconds. Still there was firing. The
two Cashes retreated down the street.
Holland stepped off the sidewalk into the
street. Biil Cush stepped just in front of
me; his brother was in the street. Hol
land was eight or ten steps from the side
wulk then; he was crossing tho street.
Then Bill Cash stopped behind two posts
just in front of me, and fired one shot.
! Holland fell just as Bill Cash shot the last
! time. Just ns Bill Cash fired and Holland
i fell. Cash said. "Oh. Or—<l and n you! I’ve
| got you!” 1 usktid him whom he liad shot.
He said It was Lau Holland. After Hol
land fell, nnd while I was talking to Bill
1 Cash, Bidie Cash walked up and tired one
shot at Holland. Holland was on the
I ground then. Bill Cash then ran out to:
i where his brother was. Just as Bill Cash i
reached his brother, la* was getting ready ,
jto shoot again. About this time young
! Cash tired again. The shot went up In
tho air. Bill caught Ids brother and told
i Idm not to shoot any more that he had
killed him. Balat Cash commenced crying,
nnd suvs, "Bill, G and and —n it! you ,
shot me!” Bill -ays, “It’s no such j
ad and thing! you shot me!" j
Bill caught Ids brother ami they came to j
the sidewalk. Babe was still crying. Bill
says “Hush up your damned mouth and
come on down the street.’’ They were In
front of Kidd's store then. Babe then
said, “Heshot me in the hand, nnd I am
going to kill the damned s tyofab h."
They were in front of Moyer s shoe shop
when I saw them last. Saw nothing
more of the Cashes. I w very close to
them when I heard the conversation. Saw
MeEaehrnn no more that night. More
than one pistol was tired before I looked.
As soon ns I looked Bill Cash was shoot
ing. Babe Cash then shot. Holland shot
after lie got up. Did not see him shoot
before. 1 saw five persona when I first
looked up. Dr. Palmer went tip tho street
after Holland arid Howell. Balm Cush
said Holland had shot him in the hand.
There was plenty or light to distinguish
a man. Witness here Illustrated distances
of himself nnd other parties on the photo
graph. Witness continued: Think there
were twenty shots fired.
Cross-examined: lam in business with
,1. I. Whittle. I was talking with Mr.
Brantley, iiookkorpor at a warehouse.
Went into the store to get my hat. Hol
land and party had passed up the street.
Brantley waited for me. 1 was closing
the blinds when firing commenced. Dur
ing all the shooting I stood on the cellar
door. I did not see the first shot. Don’t
know hmv many l did not see. Think
there was more than "lie. Don't know
who shot first. There were not several
shots fired before I looked not more than
two, lam sure. When I first lookid I saw
no pistol in Holland’s hand. His left side
was to me. He was falling backwards.
Don’t know whether lie had a pistol or riot.
McEaehran was between mond Cash.
Don’t know Mr. Jesse Wright I told no
body that it was Bill Wood who shot. I
did not go in irty store while the firing was
going on. The firing lasted a short time.
Heard no talking Is-fore the firing. When
I looked, I saw five men on the spot. BUI
Cash was very close to Holland, not more
than six feet from him. Saw nobody draw
a pistil). Cash got behind a [>st near me.
He was behind the tree-box first. Ed Cash
was above Bill, and behind a iree-box.
Saw Holland fire three shots. Don't think
|he find while down. The last shot he
(Iris! went right down to the ground. Did
[ not see him -hoot previously. Think he
! shot at Bill Cash. He might have hit Cash
; behind the box. Have never examined the
: boxes particularly. Saw a ball intheup
| per box. It must have come from down
; the street. There wnsnobody lietween me
, and the tiring. I saw McEachren as soon
as T saw Bill Cush. Saw Idol tire twice in
j the direction of Holland while he was
down. H** was elese to Holland. He
moved a little and shot. H was so near
the wall he could not see Holland. Hr
stepped out a little and shot at him. Bill
Cash first got behind some boxing and
then behind a post, Holland did not shoot
after he left the sidewalk. About this time
Mr. Wilkerson came out of our store. Hr
rqqjalnod out there. The Cashes did not
make any remarks until they got near me.
Wilkerson may have heard them. Don’t
know whether Holland cpuld have shot
Babe Cash behind tho boxing. Did not
woe Buts' ( ash limp. I did not relate con
versations between the two Cashes at ray
first examination, because 1 was prised
with questions. I was not much excited.
Haw I was in no danger. Saw no pistol on
the ground. As soon rb the Cashes left, I
went to H> illand. Palmer was by Holland
then. Did not see Howell at all. Don’t
think Cowdery’s lamp was burning. There
is a lamp in the hotel which throws a light
on the sidewalk. This was burning that
night.
A. R. Wilkerson, sworn: Haw only a por
tion of the firing. Was in the rear of
Whittle’s store. As I came out Babe Cash
was standing near tho edge of the side
walk. He had his pistol in his hand. Bill
Cash was behind a post to my right. Bill
Cash advanced towards his brother. Babe
Cash shot then. Bill Cash then came
back. Bale* Cash then advanced toward
the sidewalk. He turned and fired at Hol
land while he was lying on the ground.
Recollect no conversation between the
Cashes. They went down the street after
the firing. I saw two policemen cl the
firing. Could not Identify one of them.
Cross-examined: Was in tho rear of the
store when firing commenced. When I
got to the door I saw Babe Cash and Bill
in the street. McEachren was on or near
the sidewalk. Saw Babe Cash sh(X>t twice.
Heard Bill Cash say very little to his
brother. Babe Cash was crying. Did not
see McEachren or Bill Cush shoot. Hol
land was on the ground when I reached
tho door. There were fifteen or more
shots fir*d by all the parties. Yarbrough
was standing by me. He did not come in
after ho closed the windows, lie was there
when tho firing commenced. Think Brant
ley was with Yarbrough. He was in the
store before tho shooting.
The State here announced closed for the
present.
THE DEFENSE.
T. W. Grimes, Eaq., stated the case of
the defense to the jury.
//♦• asked thom not to form any opinion
until thoy hoard both side*. He stated
that the defense intended to show that the
accused was justifiable in his act.
The court thou took a recces until throe
o’clock.
When the court the de
fense began its testimony.
Dr. T. J. Word, sworn: Went to >♦*,? the
Cashes on the night of the killing. Wil
liam Cash had a wound in his little linger,
and ono in his right side. Both were flesh
wounds. William Cash's coat was torn
just over the wound. The coat was thick
ly padded. Don’t know what caumd the
wound in the finger. Examined Edward
Cash, ami dressed his hand, //is left hand
was wounded about the second Unger;
three bones were broken by it. There was
another wound in his left hip. Think this
was made by the ball that went through
his hand. These were all the wounds.
There were signs of powder about the
wound in the hand.
Cross-examined: 1 saw the Cashes about
dark. Bill Cash’s wounds were on the
same side. Supposed the ball was fired
| rather behind him. 1 suppose the ball
| went in the side and came out at the hand.
Thomas McEachreu, sworn: On the
night of t he killing I was on duty as a po
ll iceman. My beat was third ward and
half the fourth—from Crane’s comer to
| the Rankin House. The police are divided
' into squads. Bill Cash was captain of my
wquad. Ho carao to mo at tho Rankin
House that evening. We wont across tho
street and walked up to Rosette & Law
hon'* corner. We stayed there tiftoon
minutes. We were with the sheriff a little
while, //e loft us at the corner. Mr. Flour
noy cutno up about this time. //oUand,
//owollaud Palmer came up to us. Bar
nard passed by u. The throe men came
to us from Proer A lilies' corner. They
started toward Aboil's corner ami turned
and came to whore we were. Lan Holland
took Cash by tho arm and said ho wanted
him. They walked oft al*out ten steps and
talked very low. Mr. Flournoy told mo to
watch tho two; ho thought that there
would boa fuse; he thought Holland
wonted a fuss with Cash. Holland euid
something about carrying a message to
Calhoun. Cash refused to do It for him;
said he did not havo time and was an offi
cer. Holland Insisted on it; said Cash
saw Calhoun every day. Cash refused,
and Holland asked him why he wouldn’t
doit. Palmer and How’dl called Holland
and t hey went across the street. Flournoy
told Cash ho was glad ho did not take tho
message. Flournoy told Cash ho was go-;
ing to supper. Cash said he would go I
down the street with him. Flournoy said ,
ho would go to a restaurant and got sup- 1
l>or. I started off with him. Just as we
loft I heard Bill Cash call Bids; and ask
him where he was going. He was across
tho street. Flournoy and l crossed tho
street. Babe Cash joined Bill. Flournoy
and 1 went <>n down Broad street. We
mot Holland, Howell and Palmer about
Redd’s storo. We pawed them and went
on down the street Flournoy told mo to
go back, as he thought there would l>c a
fuss; Lan Holland had stopped Cash and
ho thought there would boa fuss. I
walked back. Isa w the ( ashes and Lan
Holland talking. Holland was talking,
pointing his left hand at Cash. He drew
his pistol and looked at Ed. Cash and said:
“What havo you got to do with it, you
God and and s—n of a b ~hV" Bill Cash says,
“Colohel, don’t shoot him; he’s my
brother." Holland -ays, “Yes I will,
God damn him, and you too.’’ Ho
then fired at Bill Cash, and then turn
ed and fired on Ed Cash. Bill Cash turned
as Holland fired. After tho second shot,
Bill got his pistol out and commenced .
firing. Holland commenced falling back
then towards Estes’ door. He almost fell,
and then put his hand in his pocket, drew j
another pistol, wont towards Cash and
tired again. He t hen commenced failing. •
Cash was by a tree box. Holland fired
three shots lx*fore lie retreated, then about
two more after he fell back. Cash did not J
lire after Holland got to the door: he did i
not shoot after Holland first fell. Just
then Dr. Palmar and Ed Cash had a scuf
fle. 1 started toward them. Dr. Palmer
left him and ran up the street. I met Ed
• Cash and walked down the street with
I him. I arrested him. I)r. Palmer had a
! pistol; he shot three times at Ed Cash
I Saw him have no other weapon. I called \
| Bill as he started oft ; he then went to the \
I Court-house. That’s where the police as-
sembled. 1 was eight or ten feet from the
parties when firing commenced. (Witness
here (leserilsxl the relative positions of
the parties. Bill Cash generally had one
pistol. The police are all armed; they
have this permission from the Mayor and
authorities. I had a pistol, but did not
shoot at all. Holland fired the last shot.
No shot was fired after Holland fell. Hol
land tire<i about eight shots in all. (Wit
ness repeated the conversation between
Cash and Holland about meeting at th
race-track. It was the same as before
given.) When I passed Whittle’s door 1
did not eo Varbrongh. Ed Cash cried as
he walked down the street and said ho was
shot. Bill Cash -aid nothing ul>out Hol
land as lie walked down the street. Would
know Bill Cash’s coat if 1 should see it.
(Witness identified the coat when it was
produced.) The defence asked to introduce
t lie coat as evidence.
Cross-examined: Holland wanted Cash
to carry the message at once. Did not un
derstand that, the message was of a hos
tile nature. Cash said he was on duty.
He told Holland that Calhoun boarded at
the Rankin House. Cash and Holland
seemed to be friendly at Rosette k Law
hon's corner. Did not see Holland and
party turn down the street after they
crossed. Babe Cush came across from the
Georgia Home Building. Bill Cash asked
him to go and take supper with him. Babe
said he would. Flournoy lives on tho low
er part of Broad street. Flournoy told me
to go back and stop any difficulty between
Cash and Holland. Don’t know where
Flournoy went then, i saw Holland have
a pistol in his hand before 1 got near him.
I did nothing to stop the fuss. I did not
go near the firing. Holland, the Cashes,
and Palmer were all shooting at once. No
policeman came up until after the firing
was over. I made no alarm; it was not
necessary. Cash had a five-shooter. It is
a self-cocker. He carried it in his pistol
pocket. Babe’s pistol was a Smith & Wes
son. Holland shot three shots before lie
retreated; lie walked into the street fifteen 4
or twenty feet before hef. il. Mr. Flour
noy went down to the guard-house with
m 6 after I arrested Babe ('ash. 1 met
Mayor Mdlhenny; lie asked me what was
the matter. I told him Lnn Holland ami
Cash had had a fuss: told him I saw Hol
land fall.. The Mayor said nothing to me
about the fuss. The Sheriff took charge of
Bill Cush and Babe: he carried them to
jail. I did not go up to Holland after he fell.
I had a pistol. Mr. Flournoy took ray
pistol; be asked me for it; he had it at
the Guard-house. My pistol was not dis
played in the Court-house. Bill Cash's
was shown there. My pistol was returned
to me a few days after my preliminary
trial. I had a Remington pistol. Think I
nu t Roberts on the way to the Court
house. Did not talk to him. Cannot say
what kind of a pistol Palmer had. Bill
Cash said he got his pistol from Jesse
Bradford. Did not see Calhoun give Cash
a pistol that night.
Rt-lHnci. -Flournoy asked me for my
pistol. He did not give it ba.-k to me that
night.
George Flournoy, sworn—On the even-1
ing of the killing was at Boatrite & j
Clapp’s, my place of business. I was an j
Alderman. I closed up my store and went
to the corner above. There I saw Cash
and MeEacheren. We all stood there a
fow minutes. Holland, Howell and Pal
mer passed across the street and near u.
Had not noticed them before.
The witness then related the conversa
tion which took place between Holland and
Cash about carrying a message to Cal
houn. It was exactly as wo have stated
before in the testimony of the other wit
nesses.
Holland and his friends crossed and
went down the street. Told Cash I was
glad he refused to take the message.
Cash, MeEacheren and I started across
the street. Cash said he was going to
supper. We all started together. Cash
stopped. I and MeEacheren went on.
Cash called his-brother, who was crossing
the street, and asked him to go home with
him. MeEacheren and I went down the
street and met Holland near Koehne’s.
Don't know how far Cash wa behind.
I turn oil Riid looked back and aw Cab, Holland
ud somebody else talking on the sidewalk. I
think Howell wm with Holland. Did not ace
Palmer thou. I told MoEachrau to go back, there
might bo & difficulty. Ho ld, *yc, klr.*’ aud
went bark. I wont ou down below Heymau's. I
*aw the firing romou-uce a* l looked hack. The
flrat flash I saw came from the wall; tho eccond
came from tho name way. Don t know who fired
it. Could not twy how many nhota wore fired.
They cam* very fast. Saw Me Each mu no more
until after tho firing. I walked toward* the
shooting. 1 met Cash; I then oamo back down
the street. Did not hear Caah spoak. I mot Mr.
Mcllhenny near tho Central Hotel. I thou came
ou dowu the street. I met Cash afterward* and
he wanted Homebody to got a doctor for him. I j
t>uw MeEaehran thero too. He waa with Babe •
Caiih; had him by the arm. We all came to the ,
guard house then. Don’t remember all who j
ware thort . Dr. Word w.th there. MeEaehran |
handed mo hi* pistol after the h hooting. I live j
on Broad street; Cash lived ou street.
Cash and MeEaehran were on duty that night. I :
wns not in the habit of going to supper with
Cash. Col. Holland and I wore friendly. I had
no arms ou that night; don't carry arms: never j
carried a pistol.
Cross-examined: Holland called Cash out to
: where lie was standing nt Rosette’s corner,
j Heard something about a message. Have no idea
what tlie message was. The parties seemed to be
! friendly. Heard nothing about tho rave track
jor brick yard. You could see a man on the op
i posite side of the street from ltosette’s corner
j all the wa> to the Saus Souci. Babe Cash was
( crossing the street diagonally. Did not invito
: MeEaehran to go in aud take supper with me.
' I was st Joseph's when firing commenced. This
' is some distance from Estes' store. After gen
eral firing commenced I blew my whistle. 1 saw
; ('ash and McEachren near the engine house after
the shooting. McEachren gave me his pistol
without sayiug a word. 1 said nothing to him
about having taken Cash’s pistol. Had taken no
pistol from Cash. Did not see any pistols taken
from the Cashes. Did not examine M Eaehren's
pistol that night. Next morning I examined it.
It was then loaded. He had kept it all night. 1
sent tho pistol to McEachren a few days after the
shooting. Don't kuow whether it was the same
pistol McEachren had ou the night of tho killing.
Blew my whistle for policeman. The first flash
came from tho wall. Don’t know who shot the
pistol.
Ri-direct: I gave McEachren’s pistol back to
himjjecause I did not want it. Dou't know why
he gave it to me. McEachren gave me uo car
tridges. Don't kuow wtffcthor the pistol 1 got
next morning was the same I had tho night be
fore or not. Had hoard no charge against Mc-
Eachren for shooting when 1 gave the pißtol to
| him.
Court thou adjourned until half-past eight
o’clock this morning.
