bearer of the name was born in this city
in 1852, was graduated in 1871 and soon
after entered on the practice of law
here He also is a linguist, speaking and
writing the French, Spanish and Italian
languages, has made q speciality of in
ternational law and been adviser to sew
eral legations, but it is In connection
with the Pollard case that he is just now
most interesting. To say that he speaks
with enthusiasm of his client would be
putting it mildly That she is truly
remarkable witness is freely admitted
by the lawyers on both sides, and none
speaks with more enthusiasm of her abil-
tiles in that line than does Major But
terworth, who frankly confcsses that she
was too much for him. Mr. Carlisle of
course takes q somewhat different view.
insisting that it was not her talent, but
her truthfulness, which made her so
strong witness. "Thcre is" says he,
mo myste,y or great art in this thing
of being good witness All ono has to
do is to keep cool and tell the exact
truth a truthful witness sometimes
makes very bad showing by reason of
nervous excitement, but where there is
mono of that the witness willing to tell
the truth, as Miss Pollard was, has no
trouble at all. - In regard to the painful
question as to who has done the most
lying Mr.. Carlisle is Of course reticent,
but other lawyers are far more commu-
NEGATIVE, and ono who has followed the
trial closely says:
Awful Perjury.
1t has very unpleasant resemblance
to the Beecher case in tho fact that, take
what view of it ono may, there has been
most frightful perjury Either Colonel
Breckenridge or Madeline Pollard has
sworn to lies.
Tho plain truth is, and have often
seen it illustrated in such cases. that
there is one subject on which men do
not consider themselves bound by the
ordinary rules Of veracity, and men who
would not even tell lie without an
oath for millions In money will perjurc
themselves without hesitation on this
subject. Their morality was we'll sum-
med up in that British nobleman's re-
mark on the Prince of Wales in SINH
lar case He pcrjured himself like a
gentleman. :"
RaKing Up Family History.
Another curious result of the trial
has been the raking up of many half for
gotten family histories, and one fact is
we'll worth noting. The record of the
breckenridge family, from the landing
Of that eXiled Covcnanter who founded
Ii IN America down to the present time,
has been searched with extraordinary
diligence and contrastod with that Of
other noted families, especially Alex
andcr Hamilton's and it is stated by
all the soarchers that this is positively
the first case of its kind which has stain
ed the family escutcheon. Tho Breckin-
ridges have been great lawyers, preach
ers and orators, Unionists and Confed-
crates. One was vice president, senator
and general, another wrote the original
draft Of tho famous resolutions of 1887,
and another was elected from the house

cutlSe committee.
The executive committee of the Rca
noke Valley Poultry Association held a
meeting Friday night all the members
being present and the following bust
ness was transac.ed:
The consideration of the place and
time for holding the next poultry show
being the most important point. John
Ii. Garst offered the following resolu-
ton seconded by +. A. Lovelock:
That this association hold q show in
December, 1894; in Salem and another
in January, 1895 in Roanoke"
This brought up much discussion
which lasted nearly an hour, when
Colonel Bowman offered this substitutes:
Resolved, That this association
alternate it's annual shows between
Salem and Roanoke and that the next
show be held In Roanoke city, providing
suitable accommodations and sufficient
inducements can be obtained and that
the year following the show be held in
Salem"
When put to the vote Colonel Bow
man and Messrs. John Payne, w. r.
Engleby and j a. Peck voted for tn
substitute, whilst Messrs. John II
Garst, McClung, Roberts and L)valock
voted against it. Mr.. Oyerstreet would
not vote and SO there being tie Presi-
dent Strayer cast his vote in favor of the
substitute. The matter being thus
settled those who lost yielded grace
fully, and by a vote the dates for the
snow were fixed for January 8, 0, 10 and
IL, 1905. Messrs. j. T. Engleby, w. S.

SilasLewis Lived ThirtyMinutes
After Being Shot.

His Friends Are Determined to
Avenge His Death.

SOUTH MCALEsTER, I T., Nov. g.
Silas Lewis, the condemned Choc taw
murderer, was shot at Wilburton at
10 o'clock yesterday morning. Lewis
lived thirty minutes after being shot
and had to be strangeled to end his
sufferings. It is claimed that Lewis
friends are determined to avenge his
death and say the eight other con-
demned Choctaws, who were granted
a new trial, shall not be brought to
trial, but must GO free or be taken
over their dead bodies. There is a
very bitter feeling against Governor
Gardner for vetoing the amnesty bill
and serious trouble is feared.
Lewis was one of seven who were
tried jointly one year ago and all con-
victed and sentenced to death, but
the government interfered and
stopped the execution During the
political troubles of 1892 between the
Jones and Jackson parties. and right
on the heels of the election in which
Jackson was defeated by what his
party declared fraudulent means, four
Jones men were murdered in Gaines
county by Jackson men, who were lie d
by Lewis and Others It had been de-
termined to assassinate the leading
Jones men in every county in the ma
ton, and men were appointed to carry
out the plans, but failed to act in
every county except Gaines

turned without any opposition. The
indications are that Espenchied will
defeat Joy in the Eleventh. and the
district managers in the Twelfth are
for the first time claiming that Cobb

course Bland will be returned from

There was a good deal of heavy bet

were to on Morton as against Hill
and about to in favor Of Stronp

considerable variation in the terms of

noted were about the average There
