Alter an interchange of pogilisttc elldrls; one Edward Stout (the deceased) remar ked to Newman (the prisoner) that "he ought not to strike so hard when he was boxing lor lun.” Newman made answer “do you take it up?” Stout replied that "he did not take it up' but that he was stout enough to ,box with him.” There upon Stout and Newman commenced a trial at their skill. Alter being engaged in it some time, they ceased boxing and commenced an altercation with res set to each other’a pcratWS,’ which resulted in an agreement to fight. Each deliberately. amt by-vugreement. took all his coat and hung it on the levee, and upon Stout ask ing Newman il be was ready and receiv— ing an answer in the’aflirmattve. they com menced fighting, and both lell.

Stout remarked to Newman that the latter used to be able to whip him, but could not doit any moresand Newman ‘msde answer "I know what I can do. l can kill‘you. You watch me. I’ll kill you betoro sunset.” using, at the same time an imprecation indicating that he would do so; and to another witness he said.‘ i/hiafiat could' no! whip In'm. pow ' dcr-and shot could. Alter some" time. Newman invited Stout to a graveyard at sorne distance for the purpose of renewing the light. This was assented to, and both parties proceeded to the place designated. Somejoculor remarks were made relative to each choosing his grave, and by request of Math parties a person present searched thecombatants lor the purpose of ascer taining that neither was armed with any dangerous weapon. This examination being satisfactory, the contest Was resum ed and Newman, again deleated, cried encugh. open which they were separated. Some altercation respecting each other's prowess again took place on their return from‘the grave yard, and at Fiaher’atav era. in Columbia, after they had returned. Newman at' last asked Stout to take a drink with him which Stout declined. say ing he could buy his own liquor. Where upon Newman started 01l instantly with out reply. He proceeded to the house of one Sisco and said that Sisco had sent him tor his gun, which he took and load ed with powder and shot and wad. He then enquired lor caps, but failed to ob tain any there. He went into several houses. and made application to boys that he met. lrom time to time, in the street, offering money lor the purpose at obtain ing caps to be used in firing all the gun. His efforts were. for a ”considerable time, unsuccessful, but at last he obtained lrory a boy the caps he desired. one of which)" attached to the gun. and the rest he (a ced in his packet.
