ee ee sSDAY, APREL 5, 1870, The Late Murder Trial. fall from day to day inthe Tranecnirr, and the facts are no doubt familiar te our readers, . "and a brief statement will syifice to’ bring them to mind. The fead between the parties originated at Moore's Fiat, in November, . 1967. Up to that time the families of McNickles and Doolin had been very friendly. Mc' Nickles had $5,000 in; money, and his wife, ~ fea ing its loss, confided the facet to Mrs; Doolini "The two women, without the knowledge of the men, buried the money in Doolin's cellar. Shortly after it was gone, the Doolin’s Doolin of taking it, and from that time kept constant watch over his movements,declaring that he would follow Doolin to the end of the world-og his ‘grave but what he ‘would have his money, and for a long time he did follow him as a shadow,even into private residences, and into the office where he went to consult a lawyer. At various times he drew deadly ___weapons upon Doolin, according to his statement, abused him terribly and was around his house late at night with a double barreled shotgun. McNickles followed and persecated him beyond endurance. Doolin left Moore's Flat and came to Nevada, where McNickles also followed him, then moved to You Bet, and according to liis statement, men there came to watch him. On the 19th of Detember the homicide was committed. McNickles was at Sharkey’s house and Doolin came to town. Sharkey and another witness. state that while McNickles was standing with his hands in his pockets, in front ef Sharkey’s, smoking a pipe, Doolin appreached from behind, shot him-in the back, and after he fell, stood over and fired two shots into his head, The theory of the defence was that as the first shot'was fired Me Nickies had turned, raised his arm as if to draw, and that Doolin’s first shot entered MeNickles’ head. The case contained.many. important points, including the exfent. to” which threats justify an ‘assault ; the state-of niind of defendant produced by the continual and persistent annoyance by MENickles, etc. The prosecution was ably . conducted by Cross and McConnell, and not a single point was omitted, tending to exculpate the defendant by L. W. Williams, his counsel, The argument was opened on Saturday bya. two hours’ speech, mostly upon the law of the case, by W. W. Crosz. He was followed by L. W. Williams, who thoroughly and ably discussed ‘the law and the facts of the casé im &@ speech of sbout five hours, and J. R, McConnell closed in an able argument of about three hours for the state. Judge Reardan then charged the jury, and they retired about half past 11 .o’clock on Satarday night. On the first ballot they stood, two for conviction and ten for acquittal, and so stood until 10 o'clock Sanday morning, when they were discharged by the Court. The case will therefore be triedagain, ~ ae . ‘Whe First Invoice, , A. Goldsmith has received the first invoice of dry goods from Chicago. .These goods are of the very latest style, conslating of Spring hats ofall the new patterns, dress trimmings, laces, collars, ‘‘shoo-fly” neck-ties, and a general agsortment of splendid goods, They were selected by Sam Price, who knows the wants of the market.
