Synopala of Opinion Delivered by tlie
Supremo Court of Tcxu.
AcsTrx Sept. 2 lbTo.
No. 13SC Snndy Cruse v. Tlic State
Jefferson. An indictment which describes
the wound which produced the death of
deceased ns "one mortal wound" without
further description is sufficient u:ni..T ti;o
law of Texns.
Judgment ailirmed.
No. 1529. L. II. Ilusshani v. The State
Ellis. Nothing having been proved which
entitled the defendant to offer his declara-
tions at the time of the homicide in evi-
dence to the jury a part of the res ijist ?
it wns aot error for the court to charge that
tlfcae declaration! wcro not of iiny weight.
Where a party in cross examination
seeks to draw out new mutter not inquired
of in the examination in chief he makes
the w itness his own and the opposite party
may insist on cross-examination thereon.
The defendant had a right to have the
jury polled; but this being done he had
no right to impure further of them if they
had separated or been intoxicated during
the trial.
Judgment nfiinned.
No. 1375. Win. Norris v. The State
Washington. Escaping from jail after ap-
peal is a voluntary withdrawal from the ju-
risdiction of the court and is good ground
for dismissing the appeal.
Under Arts. 2203 and. 220 1 Pachal's Di-
gest it was error to refuse to give this
liargo asked by defendants counsel "if
the jury believe from the testimony that
the wound was not a mortal one but was
made so' by malpractice in dressing the
same they cannot find the defendant guilty
of murder."
Reversed and remanded.
No. 1C37. James II. Brown v. The Siate
Fort Bend. When a defendant prosecuted
for felony is taken suddenly ill and the
t is satisfied that he is too ill to be
lircscnt in open court at cverv stage of the
proceedings the causes should bo tempora-
rily continued or a juror withdrawn and
the case continued for the term. The pris-
oner should not only bu within the walls of
the court house but should be present
when the trial is going on that he may see
and bo seen hear and bo heard.
In a prosecution for felony the counsel
for the accused may do and consent to cer-
tain things for their client but the separa-
tion of the jury is not one of those things.
In this case the jury separated for the
night six jurors in one room in charge of a
cputy live in another room with two ba-
liUs and one at his home with an ofliccr.
Held this is not such u separation as is
contemplated by the law; but every juror
should be under the protection and control
of an o'licer that no communication may
bo had with another person in any wise
toucliing the case.
It was error to instruct the jury that the
four causes enumerated in Art. 2251 Pus-
chai's Digest ar the only causes which
would reduce the homicide from murder to
manslaughter. The expression "adequate.
cause may include others.
No. 1C57. James A. (Jatlin v. The State
Ccxar. Where there is a general ownership
in one person and a special in another in
the property stolen the indictment may lay
the property hi cither.
Judgment ai'.imied.
No. ICsG. Walter Potter v. The State-
Cameron. An indictment for theft from a
house which describes the property stolen
3 "one certain trunk or chest containing'
etc. is bad for uncertainty.
Reversed and remanded.
No. 170G. W. F. Holland v. The State
Erath. An appellate court in dcteimining
the merits of an appeal on the ground tf the
refusal of a continuance may compare the
affidavit with the pruen h!torj f the
case to ascertain the materiality of the tes-
timony the want of which is the ground of
tho inytivin.
Where tlie indictment barges tuuider in
the first degree and tlie defence is the
following charge suiliciently de lines murder
and malice and n- other instruction on
those points was rcov.irod: '-If the jury be-
lieve from the evidence that the defendant

No. 1837. E.-11. Wheclock & Co. v.

proper admission of evidence is not suffi

it is clear that tlie evidence was euch that

No. 1070. Simeon Hart v. W. W. Mills
El Paso. The doctrine laid down in
Bender r. Crawford 13 Tex. p. 745 reit
erated; and that in Storv v. Ruckles
32 Tex. p. :J'jH conflicting therewith
again declared to be Mtcr dictum. The
law requiring a writ ot error to be sued
out within two years ' from rendition of
judgment is not a statute of limitations
within the purview of Sec. 4:5 Art. XII of
the Constitution of 180!). Writ of error
dismissed. - - -
1742. J. R. Burns v. the State Whar
ton. Where t lie evidence showed the hom-
icide charged in the indictment to have leen
committed not premeditatedly but in the
heat of passion if not in self defense it
w as error not to instruct the jury on the law
of manslaughter. -wSeverscd and remanded.
No. 119(i. C. 3fi Taylor v. R. M. Bonner
for etc Anderson. Husband and wife hav-
ing been sued and the suit having been dis
missed as to tl e husband ; on his pleading
Ins discharge' in bankruptcy it was er-
ror to refuse to dismiss as the wife on
her motion alleged her coverture. The
Slate Court bases its jurisdiction of
the bankrupt and his estate whenever he
goes into bankruptcy; and all persons hold-
ing liens .against Ids estate must prove
them np under the bankrupt law and have
them adjudicated in a bankrupt court arid
the State Court can proceed no further to
enforce such lien. Reversed and dismissed.
No. 1258. II. F. & E. D. Craddock.v.
John Scarborough Trinity. Although
there is much in the testimony which might
have raised a suspicion in tlie." -minds of the
jurors that the sale in question wtis a shut-
tle to defraud or delay creditors yet the
jury having the parties and witnesses before
them have passed upon it and determined
it was made in good - faith and we do not
feel authorized to disturb their linding.
Judgment allirmed.
No. 1K0S. George B. Sylcs v. Daniel
Murphy El Paso. The rule of law is well
settled that h tenaut in possession cannot
dispute his landlord's title nor will he be
permitted to -defraud his landlord of his
title. Our laws and the decision of our
courts favor tlie joinder of all causes of
action arising between the same parties and
growing out of the same transaction. Re
versed and remanded.
?;. 12'J(i. A. H. McDonough v. Mary
and P. II. Cross Rusk. The title to lands
devised by will immediately on the death
of the testator vests in the devisees and
they hold the estate subject to the debts of
the estate. By a sale of such lands under ex-
ecution on a judgment in a" suit against the
executor ulone to w hich thc"dcvisces were
not parties the purchaser acquires no title.
hen lands are sold under uccree to fore
close the vendor's lien the purchaser ac-
quires such title as was in the vendue and
nothing more. Reversed and dismissed. !
117(i. James H. Cannon v. McDamel
& Jackson Anderson. Where the vendor
of land takes personal security from the
vendee in a note for the purchase money
he is held to have abandoned his vendor's
lien. If.under such circumstances the vendor
takes a contetwporancous mortgage on the
land to secure the purchase money such
mortgage will not preclude the wife of the
vendee from her homestead rights unless
she executes the mortgage deed with her
husband. The vendee having died the
proceeding to enforce the mortgage should
have been instituted in the probate court.
Where the jurisdiction of the probate
court is plain and no appeal is taken its
judgment is final and cannot be collaterally
impeached. Reversed and remanded.
.No. 1 105. J. W. Taul v. W. V. Walker
administrator etc. Red River.' A surety
in a writ of error bond who pays the debt
under the judgment of the Supreme Court
becomes subrogated to the rights of the
judgment creditor in the lien on real estate
created by the original judgment; and where
the original judgment was against two one
of whom did not join in suing out the writ
of error the lien upon the real estate of him
w ho did not join continues and the surety
who pays the debt becomes subrogated to
the right of the judgment creditor as
against him also. Judgment affirmed.
No. 1238. F. L. Mermvether v. O. W
Whitlcv Houston. The act of October
1SC0 allowed no appeal to the Supreme
Court from the district court in a case
which had come up by appeal from the
county court" to the district court. The
virtual repeal of that act before the-final
hearing in the district court did not affect
the right of parties in tins respect. Appeal
dismissed.-
No. 1450. J. I). Wallace v. J. Stubble-
ticld McLennan. An order quashing an
attachment is but an intctlocutory judgment
and his court has no jurisdiction of appeals
from judgments of that character. Appeal
dismissed".
No. 1017. llarman Fowler v. The State
Burnet. To charge the defendant with
driving stock f rom the instead erf it accus-
tomed range is charging the same offense
and it w as not error to overrule an exception
to the indictment on that ground. It is not
always absolutely essential to charge an
offense in the precise language of the stat-
ute provided equivalent terms are used.
Judgment allirmed.
No. 1317. J. R. Miller ct al. v. W. E.
Richardson et al. Henderson. It is com-
petent for a district court to enter at a subse-
quent term unnc Cmic a judgment
rendered but omitted by the clerk from the
minutes provided there be some memo-
randa in writing among the papers of the
cause to authorielhe same. In this' ca.se
a iiiunoranda made' by thepresiding judge
upon the motion docket is sufficient.
Judgment allirmed.
.No. K US. Simeon Hart v. W. W. Mills
Ill Paso. Though a complete denial un-
der oath of all the equities in a bill for in-
junction may not as a matter of law en-
title the defendant to dissolution of the in-
junction yet it certainly brings the whole
matter within the sound discretion of the
court and
the
exercise of that discretion
will not revised by this court unless a
manifest error has Ikvii committed. This
cci.it knows no authority for suing out an
iiMuia'tioti to stay proceedings on aa execu
tion .hiring tire pendency of a bil

For more than a quarter ' of a century
dating from nbout lidC one of the most
noticeable objects of interest in Washington
W&3 in various phases of - prosperity srnd
adversity a singular genius known as
"Bean Hickman." During the w hole of the
period extending from the U-giuning of i-lt
troubles with 5!cxic to his death Jm w
as well known not only to residents but to
visitors at the Capitol W-lf; and it was his
Imast that he h.id leen on terms of intimacy
with every respect able tnemlr of t'ougres
from Wtbstcr and Clay down to the time
w hen respectability in Congress was the ex-
ception and not tlie rule.
lioicrt Singleton Inckman as he was
part of the country but mainly in the
South Hickman drifted -to Washington
and there be developed a iunt extraordinary
passion for dress his chief ruibitton Wing
to shine as the fop of the day. He became
an adept in personal adH-nment and being
easy and graceful in manners and posses-
sing some means which he disbursed with
liberality he soou occupied the position of
the American Beau Brummcl and assumed
that worthy's title with all due dignity.
He hobnobbed w ith all the great men of his
day who were given to sensual pleasures
and there were few up to twenty years ago
who were not and numbered among his
regular and occasional companions in the
debauch and at the gaming table some of
the brightest ornaments of the Senate ami
the House. " " . :' ' '
But the time came w hen he could no
longer shine but in borrowed plumage and
Beau became the walking advertisement. of
the fashionable tailors aud the stool-pigeon
of the ramblers. ' Little by little he went
down in the scale and when old age Iegau
to creep upon him he was frequently. de-
pendent for the necessaries of life upon the
maid servants of the hotels and upon .the
charity of strangers whom he levied upon
with a cool impudence that was always ir-
rcsistable.- ' .

A Georgian Heroine.
There is avows the Macon Georgia Ttl-
ejrnh a family in Jones county consi sting
of a gentleman and his wife both very old
and infirm and a maiden daughter. The
family is entirely a respectable one but the
fortunes of 'war and other adverse circum-
stances have reduced their means of sub-
sistence down to the possession of 'a moderate-sized'
farm of ioor land. This the
old man tried to manage and cultivate in or
der to make a livelihood ' for his old wife
and their one daughter. In this he failed
and year by year affairs were growing worse
with aim and he saw that he should have
to give up the battle and that too without
having any one upon whom he could rely
for support in. his declining years. The
daughter was among the first to divine the
true state of affairs. She saw that her
father was too old to longer contend with
the world for the means of subsistence.
Her mother w as also aged and not able to
lend a helping hand and she knew that if
any relief were to come to them it must
come through her. She thought the mat-
ter over in a practical way in a very daugh-
erly manner made up her mind that her old
parents could not suffer for anything while
she had the strength to labor for them. Her
mind was no sooner made up than she went
to work with a womanly energy but not in
a woman's sphere. ' She did not go to the
school-house nor the mnsic-room nor into a
millinery establishment but she went into
the field and put her hand to the plow and
looked not back. Dicy in aud day out in
fair weather and foul in heat and cold she
clung to her self imposed duty. Though
sometimes when the day's work was ended
she was too weary and sore almost to drag
herself to. the house her courage never for-
sook her; but she toiled on month after
month until now she is reaping her reward
in finding herself competent to making
comfortable the last days of her parents.
A bale of -cotton raised 'by her was sold at
one of the warehouses in Macon Georgia
and if its market value had been fixed ac-
cording to the moral worth of the pro-
ducer the product would have yielded her
a competency for life.
Female
Bravery A Woman Slaya a
Panther.
A correspondent says that oh the 17th
ult. a party of youlig women went out from
Queen's Run to the mountain just back ofl
the settlement gatlienng huckleberries.
One of them Jerusha Bryan advanced a
little further into the woods than tlie others
when she was attacked by a huge panther.
Her companions hearing the brute scream
sought safety in flight but Miss Bryan find-
ing escape impossible determined to stand
her ground and seizing a huge pine knot
gave her euemy battle. The contest was a
close one for a few minutes but. human
courage judgment and coolness soon tri-
umphed over brute strength and the heroic
woman soon had the satisfaction of laying
the blood-thirsty monster dead at her feet.
Her garments w ere torn in shreds and her
face and arms badly ' scratched but she
walked home with a firm step and the light
of triumph in her eye and was able to give
a good account of herself. The dead
panther was soon afterwards found by the
Koph? of Queeu's Run' and proved .in
iiieiJMireinent to be six feet ten inches long.
Miss Bryan is the lion (or lioness) of tlie
ncighltorhood as she well deserves to be.
Wc doubt whether an instance can Iw found
on record of more cool heroic bravery and
wisp discretion developed by any woman
even in the uioj-t historic and perilous days

Tlie Virginia City Nevada i?frjriV in
a rect :it i-ssue relates the following:'
" Mr. John W. Van Erocklin cf Tw ia
Bridges a short distance awav from this
citv was htlpi.-g to build a church at Sher
ilan and was awav from home with Ids
wagon hud team from Moudav morning till
Siturday night ile had been several weeks
s j iK cnpied. lie was therefore absent from
los wjfe and two little children the eldest
five vcur-j old all the week except Satur
day nights sisal Sundavs. Mrs. Van Brocklin
aud claidicn enjoyed good health and the
husband and father had no fear of the
Kiftt v of the birds in the home nest. There
were near neighltors too. On Satuaday
evening the two children used to toddle a
irood distance along the road by which their
fdhercame to meet him and get a ride
home in the wagon. Oa a late Saturday Mr.
Van Brocklin was returning home as usual
and the two little leuows naa gone quite a
distance tcviiiett him. He stopped to take
them in the wagon and as he lifted them
up he asked lIow is mamma?' .Two lit-
tle voices replied Of papa mamma's
dead.' He thought he did not hear cor-
rectlv and asked again Your mamma?'
The little voices again -chimed together
'Yes papa mamma'sdeadinthebed.' Van
Brocklin hurried his team hmc. He found
his wife indeed in bed insensible and fast
sinking in death. She was there alone; no
ueighbors were near. He called loudly for
help the neighbors were alarmed a doctor
w.i3 summoned but before he arrived the
poor woman had passed away. The doctor
said her attsick was of a paralytic nature.
This is the children's story gathered from
them by odds and ends: On Thursday eve
ning Mrs. an Brockhn-called her children
to her and told them she was sick and to
run and call the nearest neighbor. Then
she fell down on the bed. She never said
anything more to them; and they at first
supposed she was asleep. It was growing
dark and they were afraid to go for the
neighbors. 1 hey siept in their clothes
and tried to wake their mother in the
morning but she would not rouse. They
ate w hat they could find cooked in the
house and drove up the cows morning and
evening to be milked but there was nobody
to milk them and at the usual time they
turned them out into the pasture again.
The neighbors seeing the children at their
usual daily tasks supposed of course that
all was right with them at home and it so
happened that none of them called. The
oldest child began to be a little frightened
and suggested to the other: ''What if
mamma should be dead? She must be dead
or she would waken up.' And so the little
boys came to the conclusion that their
mother had gone away from them and
wondered what papa would say when he
heard of it. Their curiosity on this point
was excited and with their hearts full of
news they started out to meet their father
coming home in his wagon. They had been
forty-eight hours with the shadow of death
in the house and were not old enough to
know what it meant." .
"Wk are reliably informed that the
increase of snakes has been so great in
Georgia 'since freedom' as seriously to cm
barrcss planners. One of them told us the
other day that he would not be able to
gather a luxuriant crop of field peas now
n aturingon a piece of low land on accourt
of the number of snakes there which were
a mortal terror to the negroes; and for the
same reason he was obliged to decline culti-
vating some of the most fertile parts of his
plantation. The explanation of this super-
abundant growth of snakes may be found
in the fact that very few hogs roam about
the woods 'since freedom' or indeed roam
anywhere else. Whenever they attempt to
roam in their native wilds Sambo is ready
with his knife to cut their throats and dress
them for his private baking pot." -Macn
