 Jrnited States, In the Pulaski Circuit Court, June Term 1891 :, Vs. for the murd CT of c. F. Hardy Robinson. Owen.

 No case has perhaps ever occurred in our Territory, which elicited more feeling than this. Robinson had surre nd cred him self within six hours after the combat, and was the first to announce that one had oc- cured, and that Owen Lad fallen by his thanksgiving at the same time a narrative of the occurrence, which would have com pfetely exonerated him from censure-- they met alone in the woods, and conse- quehtly no means existed of disproying RohinsoD's statement, but circumstantial evidence. Owen was a youth of l9, Ro- binson man of family, 45 years. Of age, and seriously afflicted with thG rheuma- tism. No previous quarrel was proven to have existed, on the contrary 1t was testi- fed that Robinson was at Owens fathers, where the young man resided, on the foot ing of good neighborhood. on the evening previous to the catastrophe. Two wit nesses swore 10 threats made by Owen some two or three month previous, but they were considered as mero youthful boasts. Robinson was on horseback and Owen on foot, when the conflict commenced. fhere was much cross swearing in relation to some of the most material incidents con- neeted with tt,e affair. Twenty eight wit nesses were sworn, and nearly all of them underwent the most rigid cross cxamina- tion. The trial commenced on Monday and terminated on Saturday. The coua- sci seem to have participated in the feel ings of the public, and every nerve was strained. The Jury returned verdict of .Naas'apghter, and the prisoner was sem teneed 10 eighteen montifs imprisonment.
