P. Miller in such & way &s to rellave them from any criminating act, or from the sus- icion of having harbored any ill- feeling or evil intent toward the per- sonof Miller. Late last evening a bombshell wei unexpectedly exploded under the nose of the court by the story of Mr. Shil- ling, as told on the stand. He testi- fied that previous to the vecucrence while talking of trouble of the neigh- borhood snd tke unceasing terrorin which Miller's nelghbors endured life, Moser said that Miller had no friends and no onewould care if ho was killed. And thatin the winter of 77 and "78 he was in & room over Switz- er's store, at ;Wateon, where Moser told him that on the morning of the occarrence Miller came to the geld where they were st work, and made inqulries about & team thst was miss- ing from his pasture, and made the the remark, ‘‘Some of soni of b—~—s have stolen my horses.” After a little talk Moser sent a letter to the mail carrier by him, and he was off but came back afterwards with two guns, when he (Moser) caught him around the waist and threw him down, Dagget jumped upon his breast and head; Sweezey grabbed his legsand he (Moser) tooks carbine and shot his. Then they let him upand he started off, going about eighty rods, and turn- ed to tome back, and Sweezey ex- claimed, “Good God, he is coming back, and will kill us al.” On crom- examination, Mr. Shiliing was very much embarrassed. Mr. Laird, con- ducting the cross-examination, asked him why he had not told t! ry to ther of the grand jurors, who had bad under consideration the finding of sn indictment against thesé parties? If hehad ever told it to-any otie be- fore! He said he had, and named several ones to whom he had told this but before e was through would not swear positively that he bad ver told it to any one; admitted that he was somewhat deaf; that he was present at the exainination in Phelps eounty when the indictment waa found, and yet did not tell this siory; that he had some high words with 8. P. Moser at one time, when he was fa the act of taking some wood Moser thought he ought not to take, and that Moser threstened to “shove him through” for it, and he told Mo- ser hecould shove him all he wanted. He sald he left th> wood; said his brother was with him. In answer to the question, *Did you tell Moser you would tend to his cao in the Miller mattert” He sald he did not, but thought his brother told- him some- thing of that kind. Switzer was thep cailed to the stand aod ewore that to the best of his knowledge #5,g b:lief, Moser dtd fno tailoring i the room over hls store in “anter of "T7 and '78, or sinm death of Miller, and ho did not think Moser had been at work there since Miller's Geath, nor during the pant four years, it will be remember- ed that Switzer was a witness for the prosecution. Six witnesses then festified ihat they were nelghborafof Schilling; that his reputation for truth snd verscity was not good, and they would not be- lieve him under oath. ‘This morning the argument in_the case began. The house was full of eager listeners, includiog & dozen ladiew District Attorney Scofield opened the ball in a very vigorous speech in which he said, ““I don’t care what witnesses swear to,” and referred to the attempts made to impeach the teetimony of all the important wit nesses for the state, and said, “Tt i very easy matter to impeach the testi- mony of a witaess. With three months io which to prepare. Mr. Kaley, with his preacher-like face, Laird, with bis powerful Influence, and my good friend Perry, could im- peach the testimony of the Saviour.” He told the jury he did not desire this case decided on the proofs far- nished by the defense, as they would e liable to fix up the circumstances in any way that would exculpete them from their crimes. Then ha hypothe- osted from his fertile imsgination the proofs they should have given.

H. §. Kaley made the open- ing speesh for the defcuso, and made very damaging reference to the speech of, Scofield, especially in the matter of considering what witnesses say uron thestand. He gave a carefal review of all that part of the affcay concerning which there has been the least difference, of the difizrent ver- sions of the matter alleged to have been given by the defendants, and de- sired the jury to weigh very carefully all conflicting testimony. J. W. Perry, of Bloomington, 01;' interesting sy ersin the Republican valley, .pg‘x‘:'::. bour to a patient audience. He spoke with slow and cautious stride, and his hear- ers waited upon his words, knowin that every sentence was worthy of cslm consideration. He referred to the facts that these defendants came to Nebrasks in an early dsy, and took when it was an easy habitation for Iawless men. That thera they pur. were industriously at work caring for thelr harvest, when this \lnfurtunnbe‘ umstance ocourred. That Miller | lived on the creek when they came | there, that he spent his time in hunt. | ing game, fiddling for dances, and ter- rorizing the noighborhood, in turns, | a3 plossed his fancy. Ho aiso showed | that the testimony of Schilling wss | worthlers, and that his two-sided | manner of relsting the circumstances was the product of an imagination suffering from a peculiar malady for arranging & train of circumstances, | snd filling the_interatices to make a web that would suit his own inter- protation of men's acts. _ James Laird followed with the erowning speech of the trial; and be- | causo it was such, we shall endeavor | to give some extrasts therefrom, which belng fragmentary, are shorn of half their strength. Tho speech abounded in sallies of sparkling sar- casm and lofty apostrophe, and came forth with unlabored rhetorical effect, captivating and_bolding spell-bound every hesrer. In reviewing the testi- mony, he exhibited the intetcdt somo of the witneses had in giving their | testimony, touching with ungloved hands the romanco of that given by Royal Cress. The epeech lasted near- Iy three hours. Gen. A. H. Connor madea very | Pplace as pioneers upop the frontier, | logical and forcible argument for tho prossontisn, but it was based upon the theory thst the evidence was worthless, because it depended upon the veracity of witneesos whoso wel- fare were at stake, notwithsrandiu the fact that the positive and unawerv- ing testimony of these witnessos wes corroborated in part by witnesses for the prosecution. Accordingly, if the men be hanged at all, they hang theory, and met by evidence. Scofield, in his ples, stated that if guilty, they were guilty of murder in the first degree, but Mr. Conuor held that a second view of the eass; givin credence to the téstimony, would still loave them guilty of mansiaughter. For, he 2rgued, when he had shot the charge from the rifle at Robert Dala, and John Daggett and 8. P. Moser had taken the loaded carbine from him, ho was then in their power. Judge Caslin, in giving instructions to the jury, indicated that consider- able latitude of action was cpen for their consideration. BThe councel for the defenso embraced threo political factors who were el ed to positions this fall. 18 a member-elect of the eleotoral 20! lege, H. 8. Kaley 4nd A. 8. Daldwin wero eloeted ffom their respective dis— tricts to seats in the legislature. 1. Kaley is well known throughout the state as one of the leading men in the commonwealth, and has bret: proini- nently mentioned for speaker of the house. Mr, Baldwin is a brilliant young man of sterling ability, will be a recogaized force in the legis- Iature. Any candid man, after listening to | theevidence in the dase, wouli con- clade that the mer had learned from thie thréats and asssul's of Miller that an encounter with him might be hour- J; expected, and they had resolved to Kill him if aggravated, rather than im- peril their own lives. They treated him with nelghborly courtesy, with the desire of further remc¥ing the im- pending conflict, and probably indulg- ed the hope that circamstances would 80 change as to relieve them from the haunting presence of a dreaded foe. It is but natural to suppose the evi- denceto be a little colored in being talked and brooded over those long years, but the prosecution dared not ‘onoe sssert that it differed in the least particular from that given before the coroner's inquest six hours after the battle. 1t is generally considered that the testimony of the witnesses was consci- entiously given, with the exception of the whole given by Sehilling and oue remark made by Gorton. Gorton sad in his testimony that Elkton Miller, brother of the deceased stole from him the §50 he came into yoasesslon of as custodian upon the death of Mil-| ler. Elkton Miller tells me that after he was sppointed administrator of kis Geceased brother’s effects by the coun- ty judge of Phelps county, he called upon Gorton for the valiseand 1ts con- tents, and in the pirse foiind only $40 instead of €50, as had been reported tohim. It is not unreasonable to suppose the ten dollars had been used for the necessary expenses of burial, Dut this is & peculiar of larceny —unknown to our statutes. The judge presided with his nsual firmnets and impartiality. On oneoc- casion, when the artisticskill of Jas. Laird was drawing forth the true in- wardness of some testimony given by & witness for the prosecution, Mr. Sco- field complained that tne court aliow- ed him (Lsird) greater privilezes than were permitted him. The judge sar- castically retorted: ‘“Yes, this court is ran for the especial benefit of two or three attorneys in the district.” A half dosen local papers were rep- resented; but THE BEE was the only metropolitan_paper present. Since listening to the facts brought outin this trial, your correspondent has ‘made inquiry regarding this turbulent neighbornood, and is told that five murders were committed on the creek by unknown hands, within a short time priorto the death of Miller, but nothing of the kiud has happensd since. And though the shadows of evil-dieposed men still linger in the vicinit, it is to be hoped that farther disregacd for human life will be aban- ned. THE VERDICT. The jary, sfter being out twenty- four hours, returned a verdict of man- slsughter against Jacob Moser and James Sweezey, but acquitted Samual P. Moser. B The Juige announced the verdict in open court this morning, but said no sentence could be passed on a ver- dict of m ghter, because barred by statute limitation—the statute eay- ing that an indictment for manslaught- er must be found within three years after the commission of the offeuse. Tmmediately thereaftar the district attorney moved to enter & nolle prosse in the case against John Daggett, R. Dales and Ssmuel Dales. The termination of this matter meets with the bearty approval of nearly all, inclading, we believe, the prosecution Itself. Jav. The labilitles of N. B.

The tailroads have raised their tariff on through freight rotes, aud the eleva- tors arc carrying an unprecedented large stock of grain, while the re- ceipts of wheat snd corn, especlally the latter, are expected to be very large during the coming month—so large, in fact, that unless some outlet is farnished, the storage capacity of the city will be greatly overiaxed. The total stock of grain in the regular slovators yesteiday was over 27,000, 000 bushels, neatly 2,000,000 of which is wheat alone, which is the largest stock of wheat ever carried in the market. ine New Archbishop of Chicago.

An eminent local solicl- tor, a few days ago, was accosted by a prominent member of the ceniral Iand league, who brought him to book for daring to erve ejectment process- os for his clients. Thé represontative of tho land league informed bim that body would wait on him at their next meeting, and warned him and his brethren of the consequences of what they were doing. The legal gen- tlemen, in the mildest mannef, told his interrogator that there were twen- ty-two solicitors in Limerick, and that if they ceased to serve processes, all ejectment_business would be tra ferred to Dublin attorneys,who would serve them with writs, whicH would bea more costly procedure than the civil bill ejectment. This was unsat- isfactory to the league representative, who intends at the next meeting of the league to denounce the attorneys, and warm them sgainst serving pro- ceasen. PATROLLING THE RED COATS.
