Tha- court took tha- question under ad* riaaanant, and went imo the eonferencai ruaitn to eoasldor it. The judges returned in ubout twenty minutes, and President Keith announced that the court wished counsel for the Commonwealth to state the particulars in which lt was BeatfUd that the record should.be amended, and thoa thc Mart woulal hear argument as to tha advisability of thc nunc-pro-tunc oralers. Judge Mann stated that he desired that the recoral be made to show that slxti-en Jurors, fne from exceptions, wer chosen; thal the Jury were duly sworn, anal placed In the custody of the Sheriff, and. before rendering their verdlat, wee duly I'. .Hill. AROl'ED ALL TOGETHER. Judge Klournoy asked If tho court de? sired the. question of nunc-pro-tunc or? ders to be discussed, and was informed by Judge Keith that tho court would a HE LUNBNBURO JAIL, bear argument on that point alone with Um .argumeat for a nsw trial. Judge Flournoy Mid be was not pre? pared st that stsgs to argue tbe rt?ht ot the Lunenburg court to enter nunc pro tune orders, snd went on with tbe argu? ment. He asserted that this was tbs nrst time that s ptiaoner ever appeared before tho Supreme Court who bad baan con- I demned to destb without having had ti.s advantage of counsel In tb* trial-court. He contended that lt would be stretching the law snd a departure from the ce.m* monest rules of Justice for Judge tir? ga In to revise snd smend tho record now, after tbe case bad been concluded months ago. Judge Flournoy referred to the peti? tions for writs of error and sunersedeas, and, after showing, as set forth therein, that no reasonable "(Tort was made by JI'IX'E H W. Fl.OFRNOY. Judge Orgaln to procure counsel for the prisoners, he asserted that he was aware that there waa no statute that compelled a judge to procure counsel for criminals, though there was a statute which pro? vided for .securing counsel for paupers. He argued that the prisoners did not have a fair trial, such as they were en? titled to under the laws of this Com? monwealth. The speaker mated that Mary Haines. Mary Abernathy, and Pokey Hanns were Jointly Indicted, and yet this fact did not show upon the record. He cont- -nded that the Supreme Court ought to consider that the prisoners were tried without counsel, und, as the record shows, not in the manner prescribed by law. VIOLATED THK STATFTI-*. The speaker h id that statutBB Uti, which provides that where several |ef> acm. aro Jolptly charged and trl<-d for felony, a single venire facias shall issue for all of them, and Wit. which privides that If a person Indicted Jointly with others for a felony elect to BS tried BSpe rately the original v-nire shall be used for him, and another venin st-all BS awarded for the trial of ihe sahara, haa been vloli'tel, "There was undue haste, not to '.tay eagStaflBBBM and negligence, in the court which tried these prisoners.'' salt he, "and this fullure to comply with the two Kai-,i.s ls certainly in evidence ti bear BB! tMa statement. The records do BBt show that a Jury was B*tBBtei ftom min frc- from exception, aa the statute re? quires, ir. capital cases the BBBBTd r:ii'*t show positively, distinctly, and h'.i pre? sumptively, that everything thu fl.1.ld b? dom* was done In the trial of tha pram.asia.

THE ATTORMMT-OMMEttAt* Atlorney-Ceneral Scott .oilowed lasfft I'iai.iuoy. He reviewed ths case briefly, anl. aft-r setting forth thal the pr's int r, 1 okey Barnes, was indi. ? d an-l arralgn ? -", hi* stated that B fl -it '?* fucias aft summoned to try her, and, no objection ATTORNEY-GENERAL SCOTT, being made to any one of tue jurors, she wai tried, and convict d cf murder in the first degree. Mi?jot Scolt then referred to the record ..*. now before the Supr*nc* Court, and alerted that 'the varloBB military order* and affidavits which were contained in lt Wf.-e clearly not entitled to BgBHir there, ile took the two points of all.ged irror nisei by Judge Flourn >y, ihat ihe jury tret not selected trom men Una ftoiu exceptions, and that s-i-u.ii venire faclasea were not Issued for the prisoner*, and, In answering them, ta brief, as? serted that a simple error or tat m th-> record was not sutH-jieni lo cause the Supreme Court of Appeals to declare the trial a mistrial. The Attorney-General discussed the question of a change of venue, and as? serted that in the case of Pokey Barnes no change of venue could have been granted, as u Jury free from exceptions was obtained In Lunenburg county with? out even having to go beyond tts bor? ders, as permitted by law, to secure Jury? men. Referring to Judge Floumoy's state? ment aa to presumption. Major Scott said that the Supreme Court would naturally presume that tbe trial Judge bad done everything essential to be dons In tbs trial, both In tbe Interest* of tbs Com? monwealth and pisoners, snd that ths re *ord was unquestionably true. JUDGE ORQAIN'S INBTRUCT10N& Major Scott road tbe Instructions of Judge Orgaln to tbs Jury In tbs trial of Pokey Hame*, and commenting on them, urged that they were clear, succinct, and in every point in conformity with the law. He then rend ths record, commenting as be proceeded; after wblch bs assarted that Judge Orgaln clearly bad tbs power to amend tbs record aad make lt apeah the truth. "If." ha said, "be oaly wanted ta Interline some fsw words, be wss not en? titled ta do te after tbt close et the tern*. but when he found that hla record falal flea! the doings of his court, he had a right years hence to make lt tell the truth." In discussing the military orders ahown In the record, the Attorney-General took up Judge Orgaln'a order to Major Derby? shire to remove the prisoners from the jail to the court-house, and a*-a?rted that In hla belief lt was perfectly proper. The Attorney-Oeneral concluded with an ap? peal to the court to sustain the judgment of the trial court. Jl'DOE MANN BEGINS. At 12 minutes to 2 o'clock?the hour for the court's adjournment?Judge Mann be? gan hla argument, though he asked to be allowed to wait until to-day; which re? quest was refused. He referred In the outset to the military, and asked if this was the first time the aid of the military had been invoked In behalf of law and order. He also asked if thia waa the first time a prisoner hail been tried without the advice of counsel. There was no evi? dence, be said, to show that the prison? ers ever askeai for counsel. He then dis? cussed the statement of Judge Klournoy that the Jury did mingle with the crowd, and stated that unless lt could be shown that such a separation of the Jury caused Injury to the prisoners In the case at bar, the appellate court had nothing to do With lt. At this Juncture Judge Keith called at? tention to the fact that 2 o'clock had ar? rived, and the court adjourned until ll o'clock to-day. when Judge Mann will conclude his argument and Cnptaln Wise will close for the defence. The Ma.able case will come up later. Ml D AID A DEl.t'tiK. Pimlico Ilneea Hun Inlier Mach Con ill Ilona?inlier Turf Xntes.
