State vs. Hbson. Gibson.
William Bishop being sworn says he will be 19 years old next April that he resides in the city of Terre Haute, Vigo county, Ind., now and always has. .That he was present at the time of the killing of William Hal' by Eleaior Gibson that he was then acquainted with Gibson, the defendant, and had known him previous to that time some years that on the night of the 28th of May he went to Berkshire's barber shop to get his hair cut, that there were several persona ahead of him which caused him to wast, lor some time that while so waiting I saw Gibson standing against the iron railing or hitching rack almost in front of the barber shop, and on the south edge of the sidewalk that he was talking to some heavy set man with whiskers that he would know the man if he should se* him again that while they were so talking affiant went into the barber shop and had just taken a seat at the east side of the barber shop when a man came into the shop with a chain in his hands, saying that there was going to be a big row out in the alley. He then ran out and stood on the west side of the alley in front of and against the corner of' the barber shop, and heard a man say: "Don't call me a bastard then be?.rd a man say: "Go away from me or I'll shoot yon." Thefint man said, "DonYjou call me no bastard again." Then the man repeted the words, "Leave me alone or I'll shoot you then they clinched or came together. I heard a sound like a lick and a scuffle then both parties went down npon the ground. Then I heard and noticed a woman come np from the south side of the sidewalk, and on the east side of the alley in front of Thur's saloon and stopped about quarter ways of the alley, being a little east of the middle, and said: "Come on Will." I tben heard a man say, whom I recogniz by his voice as the defendant Gibson: "Let me up or I'll shoot you," and then the other man Baid: "Shoot and be dam.ned," and the shot instantly followed, and I could see that Gibson was down under tbe man and their heads were then to the north and the fire from the pistol ranged up and to the north. It was datk in the alley but I could see from the flash of the pistol to determine the position of the parties. Gibson then came out of the alley and I saw he had been down upon bis .ck on the ground, as his coat was dusty on the back. The same woman who said "Come on Will" said as fiibson passed out: "Did yon shoot my husband?" to which inquiry I heard no answer. There was but one woman in the alley at the time of the killing, and not until Gibson had passed out 1 never communicatcd to the defendant nor any of bis attorneys wbat I knew about the case until after tbe trial. I did not want to be a witness. The defendant nor his attorneys knew nothing of what I knew about the case. After the trial was over I informed Mr. Gibson, and will if anew trial is granted, testify to the above facts. That said facts are true.

The writer of this waa surprised the other day, to meet on the streets of this city, Wm. Edward Holmes, formerly of Company M., 6th Indiana Cavalry, who waa captured during the siege of Knoxvilla, Tean., under the following ciicamatancea:
He waa one of the carrien on a line from Mulberry Gap, East Tennessee, to Knoxvilla, ana one day he waa missing on the line, and a detail was made at headquarters, of the entire company of Captain Thompson, and a few others, to search for young Holmes. Company "M" was principally of boys from thirteen to sixteen yean old, ami Mr. H. was cne between thirteen and fourteen, at the time of his capture. When starting on the hnnt of him, we all suppoasd he had been killed, and the wriier of this never knew differently until he met him a few days ago. The party in search of him captured three men, one wearing the clothing belonging to Holmes, which seemed to be pretty good evidence that Holmes had been killed, yet the men
retended that he had been rent to AnThe three men were shot, and Holmes was not hesrd from until the dose of the war, and not by the writer of this until he met him in this city a few days ago. Strange things often happen, bat tbis is an incident' worthy of remembrance.
In the battle of Tazewell, Tennessee, at two o'clock in the morning, after the rebels had formed on the side of a mountain, a voice cried out, "Five Hundred Dollars for the head of Captain Thompson, of the Sixth Indiana Cavalry." This was evidence that the three men captured and killed for the capture and supposed death of Mr. Holmes belonged to the same command. Captain Thompson's head was not jiassable as currency at that time, and frotn last accounts he still holds his scalp, and Mr. Holmes is an honorable citizen of. Terre Haute, and "may he live long and prosper."

John F.
