the Argument in the Celebrated Case.

Storm Had No Eject In Keeping Away
People Anxious 60 Hear the Close of
the Argument in the Celebrated Case.
DOVER. Dec 6 Notwithstanding the
storm of yesterday the court room was
crowded with people anxious to hear the
Harris case n B Smithers spoke for
the niece In opening he said he had ex-
planned the law in the case aud the
counsel on the other side had assented
tnst the law laid down was correct It
was therefore unnecessary to begin 10
explain the law. The case is
nothing extraordinary save for its
rareness. Tnis proceeding is pro
lection of Charles Harris and not
against him II is not hardship He
is not to be put in prison. The benefit
Of Charles Harris is FIRST to be considered
The jury must therefore see that his
property is cared for and not squandered
The law says that when medical men are
called the jury is supposed to learn what
long study has made them familiar with
They speak from what they nave learned
1t has been said that expert testimony
/ does not always agree. In this case they
did agree and in such a case the Jury
can be safe in believing them.
! at exactly 3 o'clock Edward Ridgely,
the blind attorney for the petitioners,
closed their case He congratulated the
jury upon the approaching end of the
case. He should waste no time BE
must brush away the few little cobwebs
put into the case by his eloquent friend
for the other side. If a stranger who
never heard Of this case had entered the
court he would have said that Sarah d.
McPhail was on trial. IL was TRADE
of abuse of that woman. There are no
excuses to be made for that letter to
Charles Butler She is not on trial. The
question is whether the mind of Charles
Harris Is so diseased that he is Incapable
of attending to his own affairs
| Mr. Harris left Butler $2l 900. Still be
was rot satisfied and he said he would
have it in his life time By the testi-
mony the Jury can see that not only did
Harris leave Butler $2l, ,UO0, but also the
executor Of the estate and at the end of
Miss McPhaif's life he gets it all But
he was afraid of the will and he sent
Clark to see Miss McPhail to try to divide
the estate.
Mr. Ridgley concl uded at o'clock and
counsel then held brief consultation.
The jury went into session at 4.lO
o'clock
The jury on the Harris case came down
at 10 o'clock last night with O
verdict in favor OF the niece, Miss sarah
D McPhsil, or in other words, Charles
Harris has been declared of unsound

Something for Farmers to Think Over.

Some scientist has figured out that
wheat from the time it is threshed will
shrink two quarts to the bushel or 6
per cent. in six months, even under
the most favorable circumstances
Hence it follows that % cents per
bushel when it is first threshed in Au.
gust is as good as Sr the following
February, Corn shrinks much more
from the time it is husked, 100 bush
els of ears from the field in Novem-
Der being reduced to about 80. So
40 cents per bushelf for corn as it comes
from the field is as good as 50 cents
the next March. Potatoes shrink so
much that between October and next
spring the loss to the owner who holds
them is nearly 20 per cent.
