The Jury were theu called by tbe Clerk and an swered to their names. Sidney Qliver iieorn. I live in Porters ville, with my mother in the tavern h;iuse, kept by my brother, John Olivor. I was present on the night <>f the24tliof Deeem tier last, at a ball at tbai house. Calvio Weller, Henry Bowder, Frederick Bowder, Jolin L. Junes, Go irgo i'ringle, Juraet Fos tcr, James Marshall, Uriah McClarran.Wm I'ringle, James Lafayette Shaff er, wero present; John B. AJliogt.n wiii present; Sidney B. Cunningham nod J. 11. 'l'oeple, were there: \Viliiam Kirker was there. I was not present at the caiumeuce inentof the difficulty; w s up stairs: when I camo down the fighting was going on ; think I saw Fred Bowser get up ; saw John Oliver oome into the room; he threw up his hand that way, [rhnwing how he «fid ]; did nQt lure him sny anything; he 'came through the noith ro m; saw him fighting with Teeple; had him by the right wrijt, and atrucK him back of tho ear with ..hit right haod with his fi.it; did ttoj, eee any weapiu ; I think 112. went out of the loom then, out ibto 'the 'hall ; there were some women on the stairs. When John was fight ing, Henry Bowder, Fred Bowder, l.ntav •ite Shaffer, John Adlington und others, were in the room, don't know that Cunning ham was in lb* nom; don't know tl'fttbere were any pejrson in tbe hall; while I was in the hall I »aw some one draw a chair in the room; saw lighting g"ing on in the sobth part of tbe sitting ruom; could not see di»<- tmctly from riiy wsition; don't know who drew the chair. J webt hito'tlii room when the fight was aboutover; I siw F>cd Bow der I" tbe silting ro6m, he wanted to fight Teeple who' iff a" lying 'by the door ; I ihlnk be wua intoxicated, do not know what he was d«ing ; he wanted to know who struck him; Teeple made no reply. I dont remember where Cunningham was at this time; I think I saw Cunningham about 5 or 6 feet from the north room dooT at tbe timo tbe fight w£a on; AdluigtOn was standing with n a few foctof him with soma thing in hia hand shaking it. I thought at that time it wa* a knife he had in his ha>>d, be was standing about this way [showing altitude}; di'dhT lieur bim any anything; he looked as though he something, but I oould not hear bim. Cunningham was within four feet of biflJ; wan witbin 2 feet of tte nortfc room d-or. and Cunningbatu abjut six feet from the door ; h>* face waa toward jrho was facing the hall, in tho MOID Ironting Cu&- iiingham. Don't think tbe knifewas points ing toward Cunningham ; he pointed it straight out, Cunningham was at his left. He waa standing perfeetly still; didn't hear KSm tay anything, Adlington looked exei ted, all in the room did at' thiit time, did not see whero Adlineton went; I was car rying AN lamp out then, t did aot see Cun ningham after'that till I aaw him intbohall; think I taw him in the hall when I went for the doctor, I banded the lamp out of thf door to Uriah M'Clarran; I did opt .want them to burn the house, so I took the tamp «ut as soon as I could get it out. It h*u remained on ths table previous to that timo; I got bit just aWit that time by Frederick Bowder; he oame from the east part of the room at tbat time; I waa bit before I got tbs lamp out uf uiy hand, passed the lhuip out to M.Clurran; went back into the r.ioui and saw Teeple a clmir, ftoij >&uies Uib son and myself eaugbt it and would not let bim ihruw it. Don't know who he drew tbo ohair at; John Oliver then caught l'e« r pie bv tbe wrist and struck him. Shrrtly after %at Teeple waj'duwn and I went lor tho dootor; John Adlington sent me for ibe doctor, that John waa hurt. AdMgti n and Jonts ware with John Oliver then in the kitoben. He told me togoou for thfedoctor, bt, John,'Was huft | thought he was not tnuoh hurt. Teeple wns lying on the oil cloth near tbe door in tbe sitting room; be hallowed three times for Klrker : he celled ''Kirkerl" three timet. Think Henry liow der aud I raised him up and gave him a drink; jau't remember that he suit) wyihing at that time about his hurt. I think we nut found Cunningham in the ball, in a titling position in the ooriier of the hall.his tags stretched out. I asked him if be was huo. be gasped ; 1 went and told the dootor be Was badly hart, thought I saw Cunning bam lying aorvst the hall, and I had to past over him ingoing for the doctov. Some une moved him while I was gone for the doctor. Itm.ght hatebetn somebody alee lying there, but I believed it to he bim at the time, tod tbink so yet. After this I went up stains, tbihk tbe doctor wont up too; Jonu Oliver »as bleeding. Adlington was there, think bt told the doctor it would be better topnttoouplt of stitohes In Johti'p eyebrow, Mrs. Adlington wanted her hus band togo home, he tsia he oould not find hi* bat. 1 left iht room firxt; next saw him washing bis bands; laid he had been he!p> ing the doctor probe that man; he had blood on his bauds, and dn'his coat; he eaid tbat wouldu't hurt, he bad got it in there; it woulJcome off in a moment; think it wat Teeple bo helned proht; think he said he fVS' going home, end ho asked me to oomt and waken Film if anything shot) Id happen to John Oliver, or the rest of them ; told me what window to wtap upon; showed about how lortg the knife'appcarod to be.— Couldn't say what kind of a knife it was I formed an opinion, at theiime, as to what kind of a knife it wa»; it looked like a butch er knife; I hever saw the knifo before or sine,9, 1 did not hear Adlington say any thing about a knife, nor did not see him at any other time with n knife; saw no person haveouything hot a penknife; saw no person stiike Adlington at any time dur ing the evening. Heard no one use any insulting remark toward Adlington. I went for doctor Cow Jen ; I returned be fire he CAine; was present a little while when* he waß examining CutVningham, saw him put ting in bis b'wele; think John L! Jones was holding the light; there was some one else there but I don't know who it wait. the Court. —I remained in the room after I was struck, a good littJa While. This scene was after, and at the time I was ta king tbe lamp out. I went to the back poroh after tbe fight, came out into the hall and from tbat to tbe porcb and the kitchen , Pid not see Adlington strike my brother with a ohair; saw some one 4raxr a chair in tbe South side of the room when I was in the hall; 'I don't know wh6 it was. Pruu Examined. — f livfd, at that time, on the farm, but have lived at ihe tavern ever sinte the figbt 112 did not know Cunning hum and Teeplt atthft time; I came belort dark; I continued there. They oame between 7 and 8 o'clock, I judged by the way they talked tbat they came from New Castle- 1 don't know what they came for; Cunningham wai drunk when he come; saw no whiskey ina bottle; don't know that they h«d whiskey; think I hoard Cunningham ask if Teeple would tako a drink , Teeple told Cunningham to get on hie overcoat and he would walk him round a square or two ; were gono 1} hours. I mind of their com ing back but not what timo it was. Tbey got oystors ; Cunningham swore he could or would lick that U—d d—d landlord, or any otheT d—d lord; he Could be coaxed, but oould not be drove; ho considered him self insulted; pushed the oysters baek. and said be couldn't eat them with a gf-oi eon- Fcience; he had biten drinking toa*ls, and John Oliver told him there was enongh of thut; this is tlx way thn quarrel commenced at that time. Tbe toaats were drank in the sitting i-(om. It wan tbe loud talking tbat John objected to. / know of my own knowledge that John said he would not have vulgarity in o»nvcr>ation when theie were la lies present. He said he Would not b& talked to in that way, if it tvas the land lord's way of talking. Cunningham was violent, enraged, angry, lie ropoated his ban'er frequently—two or three time*. I think it was before this he asked Teeple to take a drink. They were not in the sit ting room more th in 15 minntes aft'r tbey ate *beir oystors beforo they triok their walk. H» use I these banters often while in the room. I went out and told my brother ho bad better be on his guard on acoouut of the way Cunningham was talk ing. / taught he was going ti pitch on him, from the way he was talking. There wero some ladies there. They went not and were gone an hour and a haif, or two f,oors. When they eamo back I heard ihetn apologising to John Oliver on the pavement. They came into the dancing room, Cunningham danced one sett; was on 'tho floor about fifteen minutes ; Teeple was in the papers on his knee by tbehro.' i/aw Cunningham play tbe fid dle after ho hid danced; think it woi a wain, or dance; this was fifteen twen,ty minutesnftcr he danced—/walkW through; board .him playing the fiddle; the next place I taw Lira was in tfct fight. D. n't know how long afterwards; / was up stairs whei: the fight corninienctd; 1 was up not niore thnn 15 minutes before the fight com menced; Mrs. Wellcr, Mils Weimtr.
