Deunison, circuit clerk ot William-on county, was called uud testl- led tu what occurred at the time Mustek made Ills tirst written statement con cerning thu murder of Captain Sisuey tud Mr. Spcuce. Mr. Dcunison is an in telligent gentleman, nml gave Ills evidence m u ele.ir uud comprehensive uiauuer. tie tcslt.led us follow : 1 kit w about thu time, but not thu exact date that Miiiick was put hi Jail at .Marion, anil I was ut die J ill sliurily ut ler lu company Willi Mr. L-milruiii uud aherill' Norris; .Mr. LaiiUruiu cane to inuaiid ttiiuted mu to get somu one else to vo lo the Jail with til in ; he said Mu eick' was going to make u statement. iVu nlaiteii to Mr. Hart well's olllee. and on Ihu way met Sherill Norris. and asked nun lo go wllh u-,. We then went to Ids cell, unit I. milium said: "Now Sun, su hau comu and waul you to iiiakua taleiueut." Latidriuu remarked that Mu-iek was not a murderer, but tint he ha I been drawn Into the affair through bad company and whisky, llu said lie had bei u acquainted with Mu!ck u long time; thai hu was a good friend ot Mn-k'k's uud would put Ids hand lu his pocket ami let liiiu have Ids last dollar. I.aiidruin s.ud lie wanted Mu-ick to tell the truth, and not to Implicate uu inno cent man lu thu murders. Mulck said it hu told all he knew he would have. to impliciie some of Njrris' relatives. Nor ris said go on, don't shield anybody ; let thu truth come out. Mn-ii'k then Maid if he told Hie truth ilu-y would kill lit in or mob liiiu. Laudruiu replied that Mu Ick should never see the parties, thai he should have money enough to take hhn out of their reach. 1 think Liudruin had just come from thu Jul when hu come lo me.

Muslch asked mu If "they hail gouu alter the boys," nnd asked me If ihey werj going to "bring them in here."I told hhn 1 guessed they would, when he said "l can't see them; I want the money promised me, I want to leave belore they come in." I replied, S un. vou will have to stay. They will imi put Hi.' hoys in with you; but you will have to go befor.' the court, and before the grand Jury and tell what you know about this m itter." lie said, "Hv God, I can't dn that ; I want to leave." I replied that lie couldn't think of leaving, I tint hu would have to stay, that he would not hu harmed. WAS MCSICK A Ul'SIIWIIACKUIt? Is an open question. Mr. William Coin- mliig. ol Eldorado. Saline county, sworo he once arrested Mustek on that charge. Coinmings was put on the stand and tes tified that In ISC I ho received orders from theprovoit marshal nt Caseyvllle, Ken tucky, to nrre-t Mtislck; that Mttslck was charged with Mug u "guarllla;" that he went altir Mtislck and got on his track at the house of a man named Weaver, at Spring Garden, Jeffer son county. Cummliigs was not smart enough to keep his business to himself mid told Weaver what hu wanted. Wea ver was a Irtetid of Musick's anil "bam boozled" Cutumlugs till Sam got away, and got us far ns Salem before Csmml.igs overtook lilin. On his way buck with Mustek, Conunlugs arrested Weaver, not that he had auv clmrgo against hhn, but bec.msM thu old man had "lied to him." Mustek was taken back to Kentucky, and then tukuu toLoiilsvllliuind Camp Chase, Ohio, where ho was held ns a prisoner of war. Thu old man Weaver, was re leased after lite valiant home-guard Com miugs had "put lilu1 to some trouble." Coinmings must have been n "loll" man during the war. He ought to have a post olllee. LAKUKt'M'H rnoMISKS AOAlX. Sheriff Nun Is was put on thu stand again, and testilled as to what occurred In tlm Jail when Laiidriim, Deiinlson and Norris went to hear Musick's itatemetit. Snerlfl Norris' version of what took plnce at that Interview h (ubiiantlally the lame ai sworn to by Mr. Dcnnhon. Mr. John Dowcll, a worthy citizen of Williamson county, and n member of the last grand Jury bf that county, was put on Hie stand, but nothing of Interest was made known through him.

Sam Mnlck was brought Irom his cell and put on the stand again, llu was asked w hether he had ever been In jail in Marion county. Sam said he was, and told what got him Into prison. Hu went out walking with another man's .'wife and shu forgot to go home that night, and the next day her husband had hhn arresicd and they put hhn tn Jail and kept him there three weeks. He was asked whether he was ever under arrest and made ids escape by Jumping off a train of cars. Hu said he was not. WOULDN'T IlKLir.VK HIM. David Crawford, an old man In soldier clothes, testified tint he knew Sam Mu stek when lie lived at Spring Garden, and from his reputation in that community hu would not believe him on oath. JACK, 1 11 1: SOS OI 9AMLT.L. John Jack said that he had lived hi Williamson comity all his lite, and that Ids lather's name was Samuel.

It would be a tedious task to go over all the evidence, and we shall not under take It. The main points are all we shall uttempt to give.
