Ingram, appel lant, appeal frtisn ,nn cr,,tyi t1(f judgment rf 'the lower court waa uf-firim-d, the ipi ii Ion being delivered by Chief J ustice Ltird. This ends the case ait.l will leave Ingram In the peniten tiary for life The error presented was as to the challenges of certain jurors for nlltfled Mas. which were nvor-mlori by the trial court. The facts disclose inui lu mpanelllng the Jury at the trial of the cause, the defendant hv hi- counsel, challenged one Geo. Mc- Jinrgue, toucniiig Dis qualifications to act as a juror upon the ground that he nau rormed an opinion as to the guilt or Innocence of the defendant from reading a newspaper account of his urai trial, ana that such opinion was a fixed one, but upon examination by the court he stated that he should form bis opinion from the evidence. If h waa taken as a juryman, aud that he nan no opinion that would nrT..r,t. hi. judgment after hearing all the testi mony. There was no error. The next objection s to I he Introduction of the papers In the contest over the will of the fat her of the deceased, which shows that the prisoner was disinherited, while the deceased was amply provid ed for. The object of this evidence was to show the motive of the prisoner and the relations existing between the par ties. Dnder the circumstances the court thinks there waa bo error and that as a consequence the judgment must be affirmed. 7 Rutherford B. Hayes la Dead. A dispatch frota Fremont, nhln dated Jan. 17th, says: "Ex-President Hayes died at 11 o'clock to-night, but the information of his death waa not given out for some time later, as every thing has been keDt exceedlnrslv m,ir lathe vicinity of the Hayes mansloc. The early report of his condition, that tne ex-president waa Irnnrnvinrs niruii, and renting easily, allayed all suspic ious oi so sudden an announcement as that by Webb Hayes, that his father was aeaa." The death of Ex-President Hayes awes away the last but one ex-presl-deut, Urover Cleveland being the only one remalnlne. Mr. Have n a ri. lant soldier, who refused to leave the army to canvass for a seat In congress. As a president he was generally re spected, and upon the whule made a good chief magistrate; but the shadow of the doubt ef his title to the presiden cy ever hung like a pall over bit ad ministrationthe people believing that Tllden was Justly entitled to the place. Mr. Hayes' private and public life was above reproach, he probably having had nothing to do with the theft of the office. Edith M. Roland, the only daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. 0.
