MACON. Ca, Jan. 20.-"Thers is q mis-
taken impression" remarked Col. ]. B.
Hudson OF Preston, Ga, last night to an
Erening Netcs reporter, "about the line of
defense We will urge in the case against the
two Hinkles charged with the murder of

since. The idea that prevails that we in
tend entering for our client a plea OF in
sanity is an utterly erroneous one. We pro-
pose to base our plea for the two prisoners
on the assumption that 1t was justihable
homicide. We propose TO show that DR.. j.
B. Hinkle, and not his son, Al
bert, shot DR.. Worsham, and that
when he fired tho fatal shots DIR.
Worsham, VINO was a man OF large mus
cular frame. was beating Albert Hinkle,
who will scarcely weigh 100 pounds, over
the head with pair Of brass knucks. Dr..
Hinkle, ST., was laboring under the i'm
preston that DR.. Worsham would kill his
son who had cried for assistance, and he
shot him. Public opinion in Americas is
very severe against the two Hinkles and
the newspaper accounts were very preju-
dcial to our case. No, sir. there will be no
plea of insanity entered and our line Of de-
Tense will be justifable homicide"

A MOST PECULIAR CASE.
1t is q most peculiar case, as strong evil
dence has been brought out TO show that
the man is Nutail of North Carolina, while

degree as to thoroughly mystify the pub
lie. When the application TO annul the
marriage between the defendant and
Miss Smith on the ground OF big

set up plea of mistaken
identity again, his attorneys holding that
he is Dale, not Nutall, and therefore the
marriage cannot be annulled. The defend

affections of the feminine heart even in an
ISOLATED instance, muoA less on bigamlstic

Toliing a Enell.

The traveller through some of the
more rural regions of Maine OCCASION
ally hears what most men of three score
and ten remember as familiar sound
in their young days-the tolling of a
church bell on the death of denizen
of the neighbOrhood, the strokes num-
bering the years OF the PERSONS life.
There is something particularly solemn
about the use of the bell, so long neg
lected in the more populous communi-
ties; and to the writer no funeral SER
vice ever brought the fact of death
home with the same pathos, as listen
ing to the unexpected sound of the
death bell" startling the community
into a hush, broken for few minutes
only by the low, whispered query:
"Nhy, who can that be?" Then, as the
tolling went on, the count was kept
carefully to help solve the mystery.
The tolling began usually very soon az
ter the breath had left the body, and
before the news had spread through
other channels. If a very aged person.
the count would require a considera BILE
time, while all would sit very still, and
listen for the strokes.-Lewiston Jour

Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for that purpose by the

tion of high speed train often amounts
to half the total resistance which the

gines, of which the resistance was
measured repeatedly and found to be
nineteen pounds per ton at thirty-seven
miles per hour, were coupled together

the resistance fell to fourteen pounds
per ton, the second engine being shield

first. 1t strikes ne that there is an
