The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1894-08-17

Roanoke broke their run OF hard luck
yesterday and took the leaders into
camp to the tune Of IL to S. While the
score was too one sided to be interesting
there were many brilliant plays made,
especially by the home team.
Cavanaugh was the hero yesterday.
At the bat he is credited with two home
runs and double, while the four
chances he accepted in the field were
all difficult ones. Ellis and Fitzmorris,
at short and second. covered an i'm
mense amount OF territory and made
some beautiful stops. Crockett caught
difficult fly, while Maginnis, Daniel
and McHooveter attended to things in
tho outfield very satisfactorily.
O'Hagsn did not play yesterday owing
to very sore knee, and McGettigau
went behind the bat. He caught a
good game notwithstanding the fact
that he had three passed balls.
The home team did most of their
batting in the second and third Innings,
when they found Smith for five singles,
a double and two home runs. After
that Smith settled down and pitched
great ball.
Boyd did the twirling for the Ma
gicians, and he again demonstrated
that he is one OF the best in the bust
ness. He kept the eight hits that were
made off of him we'll scattered. He also
had excellent control of tie ball, send
ing but one man to first and only hitting
one.
McLaughlin's umpirinp was some
thing appalling. Every close decision
was given against the home team, and
he called at least two men out who
we've certainly safe. Following is the
score:

Daphne" Given It's Initial Performance
by the Mabel Paige Company.
Daphne, the Dancing Statue" was
given its initial performance by the
Mabel Paige Company at the Academy
last night and scored distinct success.
The audience was large and enthusiast
tic and were most liberal in their
applause.
As Daphne" Mabel appeared in an
entirely new role that demonstrated her
wonderful versatility. She was no
longer the frolicsome, mirth- provoking
little comedy queen, but was q sedate
Greek maiden, who was supposed to
have ived thousands of years ago.
Her statue dance in the first act was
beautifully rendered and called forth
an enthusiastic encore. The other
specialties were also we'll received, and
the different characters were all ABLY
sustained. Daphne will surely be q
success. While the plot is not q deep
one it is interesting, and the piece
abounds in funny situations.
Ii. Guy Woodward and e. II. O'Copnor
kept the audience in a continuous roar
while they were on the stage and their
singing and tho dancing of O'Connor
and Miss Amy Paige were features Of
the entertainment.

GOODMAN MAY Be ACQUITTED.
His Prospects Seems to be
Growing Brighter.
A Large Number of witnesses Testify to
the Prisoners Good Character-OoloneI
Bryant's Character for Truth and
Veracity Questionable, SO Says Ono OF
the Witnesses-The Result VIII be-
Known In a Day or Two.

RICHMOND, Aug. ia special from
Covington says: There can be no doubt
OF the fact that Conductor Goodman's
case is in much better condition than
1t was two days ago. At that time muir
der In the second degree seemed proba--
bic. This morning there are those who
oelleve that acquittsl is probable, while
others think it will be hung iury. A
large majority believe that at the worst
the sentence will be light, even il there
is verdict.
Tho large number OF reputable wit
nesses who testified so readily to the
fact that they would believe the pris.
oner on oath, notwithstanding that his
lie was in the balance, unquestionably
made most favorable impression upon
the jury and IL Goodman's story Is be-
lleved by them, his acquittal is inevita,
BILE. Apart from this, the one thing in
The testimony of Yesterday that helped
the prisoners case the most, was the
statement OF Engineer Fisher that
Colonel Bryant's character for truth and
veractty was questionable, and that he
had heard on that very day railroad
man say that he would not believe him
on oath.
The fact that this was brought out by
q question from one OF the attorneys for
the prosecution gave 1t additional
weight, That statement not only prac-
tioally rem owes one of the most damag.
ing bits OF evidence against the prisoner,
but tends to strengthen his story in
general for he himself was positive
when on the stand that he never used
the heartless words that "he had col
Jared Parsons and gave him all he had"
and he affirmed with feeling that he
would not have said such a thing had
he slain brute.
Moreover young Cooper, the only
other man. who was in the office at the
time, testified that Goodman did not
use these words.
Nobody belives that Colonel Bryant,
who holds position with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, has purposely told an
untruth. The gossip about the court
green is that no is an extravagant
talker, who sometimes hits wide of the
facts with no intention to do so. He is
said to be an honest man, with kind
heart in his bosom.
To-day was consumed in argument on
instructions to the jury, which were
voluminous; to the giving OF these in
slruotions, and to the opening Of the
argument in the case by Mr.. Craig for
the prosecution. The following one of
the instructions prayed by the defense
was not allowed:
II the jury believe from the evil
dence that the prisoner upon sudden
and violent provocation, without malice,
and In transport Of passion, killed the
deceased, they are further instructed
that they cannot find the prisoner guilty
OF any greater offence than voluntary
manslaughter."
Messrs. Anderson, Crump and Par
IRISH will speak in the order named for
the prisoner. Mr.. Allen closes for the
commonwealth. The case may reach
the jury tomorrow night or early Satur-
day
