POWERFUL SPEECHES
Of ABLE LAWYERS,
The Argument in the

Continues.

SHELBY, n. c., Nov. 4. Argu-
ments OF counsel in the Motz case
was continued to-day and the trial
brought forth some of the finest
legal efforts ever heard in a court
of North Carolina. Pfatt D. Walker,
the first part Of whose speech was
delivered yesterday, was a mas
terly exposition of law of homi-
eide and concluded his remarks by
addressing the jury on the facts in
the case. He pictured ruined home
deso'ated fire-sides and efforts of
brothers of unfortunate woman to
repair her wrong as best they could
PROVED AND ADMITTED FACTS.
He confined himself to proved
and admitted facts in The case with
out going minutely into testi-
mony and argued that there was
no evidence to show that the Motz
brothers Or any Of one them had
exceeded the law in anv respect.
There could have been no malice in
the case in it's legal aspect, and the
killing must have been done in
| self-defense.
Nj. II. JUSTICE SPEAKS.
NJ. II. Justice began his argument
by declaring that virtuous womer
ofpure heart and trained under gooC
home influences could not be seduc
ed. The first improper proposition
from her lover would have ended
intimacy immediately. Maggie Mot;
was an unfortunate fallel
, woman for whose weakness
he had pity, but she had not beer
seduced, but entirely apart from
: this, the real question before the jur,
g was whether the prisoners had no
gone to meet Robt. Michael wit
. criminal intent. The death {
f Motz was not a natural and prol
d able result Of that meeting. Th

testimony, was as perJured negro
as ever testified on witness stand. |
Testimony of defendants was unim-
peachable and consistent with every
proved fact in the case. They had
done no unlawful act; they were
defending themselves and had acci-
dentally killed beloved cousin.
MIR. wETMORE SPEAKS.
B. Wetmore, for the State,
argued that the testimony of
Preston Lay corroborated in the
minutest particular the testi-
mony of Michael conclusively
and established the truth of the
latter told as it was independently
and at different place their story
of Michael with no possibility of
communication between, proved
that the Motz brothers had been the
aggressors in the attack upon
Michael in the prosecution of an un-
lawful design, and the killing of
Sam. Motz was murder in the first
degree. He closed with a picture
of another home made desolate by
the death of Sam Motz and another
father and mother deprived of their
loved one.
JUDGE MONTGOMERY.

fense, began with careful analysis

nishes us with the following de.
scription OF this building: II has
accommodations for one hundred and
fifty patients besides the necessary
apartments for the officers, employees,
Sc. The buildings are OF brick with

seven wards have been. built, and these
will eventually compose the nale side
OF the house. The flush is OF white,
wood with hard wood floors. 1t Is ad.
mrably lighted and the architect
aflirms that every room in the building
will get the sun into 1t some part OF
the day. There are several special
features which commend themselves
to the visitor; notably, the numerous
open firepIaces, wlrich give ventilation
and all increased eheerfulness. There
Is large, sunny room, where in
stormy weather a good promenade
