THE MURDERER OP WILLIAM ASH

BEFORE THE BAR OF JUSTICE.

SfAtenenfs «f the Onnael «n Both Sldec an* UM Testimony C«aun«nc*d.

The Criminal Court yesterday waa crowded with a muUitud of the curious citizen*, to War the trial nf Elijah Pierson, on an indictment for the murder of William Aah. It waa nearly ten. o'clock when the white-winged Goddess got a chance to flop, hut when the did a boom waa at once inaugurated. The opening statement, on the part of the prosecution, waa made by Hon. I. N. Pierce, who & voted over an hour to the recital of the tragedy which has been the theme of &o much discussion In the community of late. The import of bis speech was that the deceased, Wm. Ash, was murdered hiie ia the discharge of his offiicial dutv, and that under the laws of our land, Pieraon should be convicted of either murder in the first degree, second degree or.manslaughter. Mr. Pierce then gave the details of,the murder which has in substance been already given in the columns of the NEWS. Mr. Pierce was followed by Judge C. F. McNutt, on the part of the defense. His main point was that.Ash had no proper appointment as an offcer, and consequently had no right whatever on the premises of Pierson at night time, and armed, and further that Pieraon did exactly right in shooting him.down, and would have been justified in killing, what Mr. McNutt denominated as "a blood thirsty mob." At the conclusion of McNutt'# statement, county sheriff Stepp was called to the witness stand and was still testifying when the NEWS went to press.' He was callcd upon to give all the details of the occurence which he did in a straight forward and honest way, giveing a state of facts which coincide precisely with the statements given in the city press. He was submited to a most severe and searching testimony by Attorney S. C. Davis who poured the question iu so rapidly and with such force, that it took a professional juror or a newspaper reporter to catch them. He brought out the fact that Mr. Stepo llrcd the first shot, but did not so testify before the Coroner's inquest, because he says he was not asked the question. Also, that in that Coroner's inquest he (Stepp), referred to Pierson's second shot as "the last one," whereas he now says that he himself fired after Pierson's. He went down to serve a writ of replevin, but got down there too late for that, and by request went with Ash to arrest Pierson on a peace-warrant in the hands of Ash he never had stated to Mr. Cochran that he would have shot five times more if his pistol hadn't snapped, or that if his pistol hadn't snapped he would have killed Pitfrson never said

___________ LECTIRE.

The following report of the lecture delivered at the Ohio street, Presbyterian Church Monday night, by Mr. Eggleston was crowded out of yesterdays issue:

Hon. Wm. Esgleston Lectured on Monday night, at the Temperance Hall on Onio street. His subject was the Divorce of Henry the VIII. from Catharine of Aragon. He shows in a very clear manner that there were three great principles developed by the reformations, and the divorce of Henry the VIII. 1. The right of self government. 2. Seperations of Chuich and State. 8. Subordination of the eclesiastical to the civil authoritiesv

That after the death of Henry llv^e principles were advocated by the reformers during the reign of. Edward the VI. Marry, of bloody memory, Elizabeth and James the I. That during all that time the blood of marters sprinkled the lintels of the door post of the Kingdon of England. But finally crushed out by over whelming forces the reformers scattered like sheep without a shepard. But whereve! they went they carried these principles with them and were the zealous advocates of the rights of man. A small number turned with anxious hopes to the new world. And for the sake of self government and freedom of conscience, tliey snapped the cords of affection asunder, bid adieu to their native land, and embarked in their little ships for the wild continent of America.
