Colam bia, --S.C., Sept. .23,The- caee of the Fairfieid whitecappers'is to night in the handsof a jury. Of the .,0 names in the 'indictment, as originally drawn, the grand jury threw out all but Josephs Nettles, - W Levi Moore, John Moore and John Ilansell. V The witnesses were handled with great expedition, little time being lost. .Nine -- women testified, eev-erof them pretty girls, and all Mormons. They were Martha Eastlaw, Mrs. Lyda Kastler, Miss Rachel .Eastler, Mrs. Artie Freeman, Mrs. Sallie Branham, Miss al A Maggie Branham, Miss Alice Branham, Miss Ella Collins, Miss Mamie Collins. The State endeavored to show through its witnesses that an armed mob had invaded the habitation persons who had cause of the Morthe expounded mons and of converts to that faith, and that the prisoners were members of the party. The defense in the main made an effort to prove an alibi, and to impeaeh the testimony given by. the witnesses for the prosecution. Arguments were made for the defense by Mtssrs. M. L. Smith and Boydkin Clark of Camden, and Messrs. E. Ragsdale and G. W. Ragsdale of the Winsboro bar. Solicitor M. Jv. Henry made an able argument for the state, being assisted by It. A. Meases of Ridgeway. This afternoon the case was given to the jury, after a forcible chargo by Judge Bennett. At this late hour the jury is still deliberating. A mistrial is considered probable. Great interest was manifested in the case, but there was no unusual excitement throughout the trial. SI -- Miss Maggie and Miss Alice Branham are the girls who held the mob at bay with guns when they were hunting for Mormon elders. They testified positively to having recognized several of the accused. The men wore masks, but they looked underneath and besides recognized their, voices.
