Wells, jr., red for the government, and Mr. George rkhill for defendant. THE VICTIM. This case excites considerable interest, the deceased having been widely known the community. He had spent his entire life here, first as a hackman for over pear yea familiarly known as “Bill Horner,” erwards as the maker and vendor of ‘a patent medicine, which he claimed as a pana- known disease, and he was thus ‘Horner. He wasall his life n, and for years was a pol an active loes ; member of the Jackson Democratic Associa. | tion, and although he was rather blusteri in his manner, was looked on as a jolly fre hearted fellow, with searcely a care on his mind. THE ACCUSED, Claxton, is a quiet looking young man, 2 years old, He was neatly attired in a black suit, and was seated near his counsel, with his wife, (the daughter of the deceased.) holding in her lap the three-year old child, whose prattle it is claimed led to the quarrel, during which Clax- ton threw the poker at deceased. There were near him several ladies, relatives and friends, THE SELECTION OF A JURY was entered upon. M. R. Coombs having answered the questions propounded by the court, Mr. Corkhill proposed to question the juror further, but the court ruled that he could hot. and the defence excepted and prepar: a bili of exce .

Claxton and withess were sitting it the stove talking, when her father came in and commenced to fuss. He then asked the little boy to take the paper next door, and the child said “I won't.” Her father then sai more snaps from m Cc in h—I he was eurs the child for, and father then said that he was tired of keeping him and his family. Claxton then moved from behind the stove with the poker in his hand, and she then turned her back, and in looking round she saw her father on the floor, and the poker fell from his She then said, “Tom, you've killed pa und: he went up stairs, remarking, “I don't know what I've done.”’ He went up stairs, put on iis hat, and went out. _ OTHER TESTIMONY. Dr. Hartigan testified to the wound and also ‘as to Claxton having stated before the coroners jury, that he threw the poker in the heat of passion. THE PRISONER'S STATEMEN' This closed the evide for the government, and the prisoner was sworn and testified, t onthe morning in question, he came do stairs about $ o’clock and when Horner came in about s!4 o'clock, he was sitting near the stove with the poker in his hand. Horner asked his daughter if she had not sold some medicine, and she replied that she had not. He then said that he had just come from Ch and had learned’ that two bottles uu bought. She then aeknowiedg id sold one bottle, and Horner sai d—d liar and threatened to. throw a cup at her, and to kick her out. He then handed the paper to his little boy and told him to take it in next door, and the boy ngs he wouldn't take it, Horner eursed him. Witt ness then told him hot to take his spite out of the child. Horner said he (accused) was a d—d loafer, or his wife would not have gone away. Witness said his wife went away because she conld not stand the of her father. Horner said ‘You are a d—d liar,” and raised up, and he (Clax- ton) was swinging the poker in his hand whea it slipped and struck Horner. He had nothing a ust the deceased. The aceused was the diord of the house. On eross-examination Claxton said that he could not have got out of ner sprang up, and he supposed that he wa going to attack him; he had the cup in his hand. He did not try to go out before the oe. currence. He repeated that the poker slipp« from. his hand while swinging it, and explained slipped.. OTHER TESTIMONY. Messrs. Jas. Hughes, John W. McKnight. Richard Gross and Richard Claxton, testitied to the good character of the accused. jas. G. McNabb and Lieut. J. F. Kelly were a prove that the deceased was a manof violent temper, but neither could testify that such was the fact. ’ THE OPINION OF THE COURT. The defence offered several prayers, which were acted on by the court, and the court took occasion to define the several grades of homi- cide. Words were not a sufficient provocation for a deadly assault. To cause death by a blow would be manslaughter, and if with a deadly weapon, murder. The circumstances in this cause were peculiarly distressing—the pri.- a@ young man of family well connected—but they had a duty to perform, and must hot allow their feelings to influence them. He had no doubt that after the performance of their duty. hey would do whatever they could to as- sist him. Assistant Di ATEUMENY cane case under the indictment.

Chase, bookkeep- er in the Citizens’ National Bank, and one of the bondsmen for the appearance of Charles H. Moulton, formerly a real estate agent here, to answer the charge of forging and procuring money by false pretences, having learned that be was in the city, procured a bail piece which he placed in the hands of Detectives Miller and Coomes, and about 4 o'clock they proceed- ed to Mouiton’s residence, 1606-Q street, and took him to police headquarters. | HIS FIRST FLIGHT AND RETURN. It will be remembered that Moulton, who was engaged in dealing in real estate notes, &c., in this city, having his office in the_base- ment of the LeDroit building, (Sth and F sts.,) suddenly left town, when it was then found that numerous persons were the losers by his flight. It was roughly estimated that his cred- itors were out $50,000 Or more. As scon as his flight became known, one of his creditors, | (Dr. Transue,) who had beey his clerk, started after him,tracing him to Richmond and theace to Petersburg, Va., where the trail was lost. In February of ‘last year he turned up in this city as suddenly as he had left, and was arrested by Detectives MeDevitt and Mecki- fresh. The public have never been informed as to his wanderings previous to that return; but it is generally believed thai he had spent most of the time in Virginia, an d his general appearance indiceted that he had been rough- ing it for atime. On the 3d of Fever svi, he was arraigned before Judge Snell, charged with obtaining #280) from Francis Prott on false pretences, and Mr. Prott testified that he had accommodated Moulton with several loans, and in return had taken a check for the amount in the Second National Bank. He had presented the check and had been told th: joulton had no money there. Moulton aft wards left the city, previously promising to make good the amount, but ‘the check had never been paid. HOW HE GOT OUT OF JAIL. Moulton was committed to jail in default of $3,000 bail for his appearance at the Criminal Court. While in jail he sent for some of his creditors and represented that if he was kept there he could do nothing as to the wanage- ment of his property, and it they would pro- cure his release his first object wouid be to si Sure them from loss, Several of them thou tha and accordingly in a few day in 33,000, Messrs.

He called out ‘‘murder,” and asked Brown what he intended to do, and received a reply that he was going to kill'him.

Before the meeting was regularly opened the Barker family enter- tained the audience with some of their choice music. The meeting was then opened, and Mr. Columbus Thomas led in prayer. Mr. A. Barker, accompany a imself on the violin. sang, “Anti calome x. Berry, president of the Georgetown Dashaways, stated that it was proposed to continue the meetings as long as they received pecuniary aid to enable them to do So, and that voluntary contributions might be given at the door to-night, and also that a collection would be raised at that time. Messrs. Joseph Williams, Jas. Lee, Thos, Pendell, and Bud Ey Jeston in turn addressed the meeting, the Barker family and the choir singing be: tween each address. Charles Nye. as usual, made a stirring speech. Richard Hazel then addressed the mecting, and many came for- ward and signed the pledge Miss Lesiie Hazel tying on the red ribbon, while Miss and Mr. Hopkins sang ** Tie on the red ribbon,” which was followed by the Barker famil; pinging. ‘Tie on the red and the blue.” Mr. Henry Wilson sang “Ninety and nine.” Ned Humphreys and Rev. Richard Norris also addressed the meoeng, ae = persons signed the pledge, making over 1,500 so far. KNOCKED SENSELESS WITH A STONE.—Last night, about 10 o’elock, as Mr. Richard Barton was proceeding to his home, about a half mile from here, on the new road, he became con- scious that three negro men were following him. When at the corner of 4th and Market streets a stone was hurled at him, which struck him in the heaa and knocked him senseless. A gentleman passing conveyed him toa _ drug store and Dr. McLeod was sent tor._ Fortu- nately his injuries were not serious. There is only one explanation of these recent and frequent outrages, which are new to George- town, it is that we have an insufficient num- ber of police on duty at one time, and the rogues and roughs have found it out.
