AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE
IN THE TRIAL OF JOE BANKS AT
NASHVILLE.
Some More Strong Evidence Brought
Up Against the Late John ]. Little
ton-The Meeting OF the Son with
His Mother and Sisters.

Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, JunD S.-Several
witnesses were introduced by the defense
in the Banks trial today, who testified that
Littleton fired at BlJk> before Banks shot
and thai sanks stepped out on the pave
ment and called TO Little,on TO look out
before he shot. Mr.. Robb, the grand
father OF Banks, was put on the stand and
swore that he went 10 Banks office on
Friday, the day before the shooting, and
told him that Littleton was armed and
looking for him and precautioncd him
against Littleton.
II. f. Banks, the father OF the defendant,
was put on the stand. He was given a
copy Of the National RerieW containing the
article against Banks, which article was
encircled by wide black ink mark. Mr..
Banks testified that he was present when
Joe received the paper sent TO him through
the mail. The judge would not allow Mr..
Banks 10 testify what effect this had on
his son. He testified that Joe was mex
perienced in the use OF firearms.
Mrs. Banks, mother OF the defendant,
was then brought into court, accompanied
by her two daughters, young ladies who
move in the best social circles OF the city.
Mrs Banks testified that her boy was un.
experienced in the use Of firearms. No
other question was asked her. She then
clasped her son in her embrace, and he
kissed the tears gushing from her eyes.
Likewise did the Misses Banks greet their
brother, and they conversed with him for
several minutes. The defendant con-
trollod his emotions well. II was most
impressive scene, one which can better be
imagined than described. The effect was
visible on the jury, the attorneys and
spectators.
A. l.. Demass walked out. Many would
not look and those who did found diff.
Guilty In restraining their emotion.
The testimony OF today and yesterday is
decidedly in favor Of Banks. As vet no
evidence has been brought out which will
convict Cockrill. All the testimony will
be concluded tomorrow, and argument will
commence Monday. II will either be an
acquittala or a hung jury and the latter
means final acquittal.
