THE DEFENSE CONTINUED.
Testimony to Prove That Mrs. Carpen
Ter Nlllch Her Husband While Insnnc.


ter Killed Her Husband While Insane.
Upon the opening of the Criminal Court
this morning the trial of Henrietta l.. Car
pcnter, charged with the murder of her
husband, George w. Carpenter, on De-
ccmber Is, 1888, was resumed and the tes'
timony for the defendant continued
A. ID. Prince testified that the defendant
was employed as q servant i'm his family
in January 1884, and her actions being
very curious, she was kept only two
weeks.
DR.. Alexander McWilliams, physician
ut the Jail, testified to her quiet, dOcile
conduct in Jail.
DR.. w. w. Godding, superintendent Of
the Insane Asylum, testified that there
were now about 200 patients in the hos
pital. He said that insanity had hcredi-
tary tendencies, and that if an insane
man begot child the child would be apt
to become insane. The witness showed
by the record of the hospital that John W.
bailey was admitted to the hospital in
March, 1855, and died two years later
The witness also read the record of Annie
Robinson, daughter of John Bailey, who
was received and died in the hospital.
Mrs. Carpenter, the defendant was
then called to testify. She gave her tcsti-
mony in q clear manner, and did not APP
pear confused in her examination. She
denied emphaticaly that she had killed
her husband and that she had written to
Mr.. Davis, his employer, the letter pur-
porting to be from Carpenter. She said
that the skull of the murdered man which
was shown her was not her husbands.
The hole for the neck was not large
enough. She saw her husband for the
last time about o'clock on Christmas
evening, 1888, when he left the house and
met q man outside. The feeling between
her husband and herself was friendly.
He had always called her queen
On cross-examination Mrs. Carpenter
said that when her husband left the house
hc said Good by, | am going away to the

charged with committing an assault upon
DR.. A II. Best. MIR. Falligant is agent
tor the house occupied 10y DR.. Best. On
Jan. 10 he went to collect the rent, which
amounted to $40. The doctor stated in
his testimony that Mr.. Falligant owed
him IS - rebate on a paid-up insurance
policy. He rendered the rent, less
that amount. Some words followed,
and resulted in Falligants refus-
ing 10 accept 1t, claiming that the
rebate on the insurance policy
had nothing to do with the rent. and that
he would pay the rebate if Best would
send 10 his office. The doctor finally
said he would pay the $40, and had
counted out $50 of il when the trouble oc-
Cured The witness had previously
written "A receipt IN his receipt book,
which FaIligant had signed. The latter
vowed he would tear up the book, and
tearing that he would put the threat into
execution, the doctor took 1t under his
arm. Falligant then seized hold OF him,
ierked the book away, and threw him viO-
lently to the floor. The witness was al
most helpless with rheumatism.
Mr.. Falligant made brief statement
i'm his behalf. When he went to DR..
Best's room the doctor he said, greeted
him cordially, and after writing the re-
ceipt aud after be had signed it, grabbed
up the book and put it under his arm, re-
fising to pay the mOney if the insurance
rebate was not deducted. He then took
the book away from DR.. Best, but denied
having assaulted him. When ne pulled
the book away DR.. Best fell TO the floor:
The case was argued for DR.. Best by

A Curious Item About Gloves.

You have read a great deal lately about
cheap Kid Gloves. It's difficult matter
to find bargain in Kid Gloves, and yet
we have a black kid at 81 cents, which is
cheap. The very same gloves are sold else
where at 81. Now you want to know how
it comes to pass that we can possibly sell
a first-class glove at the same price as a
common article. The facts seems to be
about this: The large importing honse of
Halstead, HaineS & Co., of New York,
failed few months ago, and sold their
entire stock, amounting to half million,
at public auction. Our New York buy
ers were one of the lucky purchasers,
and amongst the different lots bought a
big drive in gloves. A great many Of
these gloves were sold right here in Sa-
vannah by New York jObbers at prices
far above what we are going TO sell them
to you this week. Do we need to explain
that house doing large business, and
having their buyers the New York
market continually, can purchase from
first hands and save you the middle-man's
profits? By reading our advertisement
on second page we will give you the style
and prices of the different gloves we are
selling this week.
