¢ On account of the number of

up the'civil dockets, and for
this reason no civil matter was
disposed of, except in a few di
vorce, and uncontested cases.
+ About four days of the court’s
time was consumed in the trial
of the case of the State vs. V. T.
Stowers, charged with murder.
This case was hard fought by‘
both sides, and the Attorneys of
each side deserve credit and
commendation for the way and
manner they conducted the case.
It is said that seme of the At
torneys delivered the best ad
dress eyer hedrd before a, jury
in this county. '

As presicutor "of the case, I
have beeén asked many times
since the jury, on that sad and
memorial case of the Btate vs.
Stowers for the murder of J. La
Williams, rendered their verdict,
what I thought of the verdict ?
Now Mr. Editor, lam a 'born
and reared citizen of Jeff
Davis County. My desire isand
has ever been to be governad by
the will of the people,and that is
only gathered through .public.
sentiment, and the verdict of
the jury in the case, ih' the
face of all the State’s evidence,
and the law, as was ably shown’
by tho State’'s Attys. The peo
ple and the jury have spoken,and
[am disireous of being a la
abiding citizen, ant=tMeTeore
must say, that I am. satisfied;
right or wrong, that is not for
‘me tosay. It is a matter be
tween the jury and their God.
i Most Resptfully,
