cided that the conference could not

reports rather increased the demsnd, eno mo

gradual rally 10 1870, nut tho market quictiy
weakened. ~ Il was found that good deal OF
wheat came ont at the advance. This sent the
price OF 10 1Qlsc, and while held in SLUGGISH
uncertain condition. two dispatches from WASH

SHESAW THE MURDER
FRANCES lINDsAY's TESTIMONY IN
THE FeAGLES TRIAL.
An Eyewitness OF the Tragedy on the
Rosd-caddaii shot and Founded with
n Rock-Corroborative Evidence.
Especial Telegram 10 tho Dispatch


NrwByBy. Va. cia DUBLIN. Va. March
%. -To-dsy's proceedings we're more SEN
sational than ~ any time before during
the history of the Feagles case. The SEN
sation grew out Of the testimony OF col
ored woman named Francis Lindsay. She
swore positively that she saw Feagles Kill
Caddall. She had gone out into the Alex
ander woods TO meet Ben. Houston. She
saw Mr.. Caddall riding along the road and
heard him humming. She concealed her;
self from his view, fearing lest he should
see her.
HEARD A aHoT.
Presently, when, on account OF their
respective routes coDverging.. she was
brought rather close 10 him, she stepped
behind tree and crouched in the leaves.
Just after she did this she was startled by
hearing shot. Sho looked up quickly,
saw some object fall, and Feagles
jumped over the fence in the edge OF the
woods with gun in his hand.
WHAT SHE SAW.
Approaching rearer 10 see what he had
shot, abe saw Mr. Caddall lying on the
ground. Feagles then seized rock or
some other object and struck the PROSTATE
body three times. Shortly afterwards fea-
giles climbed the fence on the opposite side
of the road and made of. She watched
hiin TO see in what direction ne. went, so
that she might avoid him, and then re-
turned TO Newbern. arriving there Just as
news came Of the murder.
AFRAID TO TILL IT.
She kept her story TO herself. afraid Of
beng killed if she revealed it, aud when
she bad let hints Of it fall, and was called
upon by Feaoles and others TO tell what
she knew, she admitted that she had seen
the murder. but told falsehoods as TO the
murderer, thinking thus to save herself
from harm. On one occasion, when Feagles
bad summoned her for the second time 10
tell what she knew, she informed him that
the man who killed Mr.. Caddall was
right there in Newbern. lie then ADVISED
her 10 let the matter alone. Such In sub
stance was her testimony. She was sub
iected to q searching cross,examination,
but stuck TO her story remarkably well.
The defence reserved further questions
until tomorrow. Several witnesses were
introduced who corroborated various fea-
lures OF her story.
OTHER TESTIMONY.
Other points put IN evidence were briefly
as follows: The ball taken from Caddaiis
head was Union Metallic Company nm
fire. 32-calibre, conical ball; IL weighed
seventy-slx grains; new ball OF the kind
weighed 10 grains. and II was most prOba-
bly, shot from rife. Feagles told John
Roseberrv that he saw Caddall with one
on the day of the murder. and 1t did not
have his name on il. The doctors de
scribed the wounds and stated that about
two grains of the ball was gone. There IS
intense excitement over the disclosures
made by Frances Lindsay.
