LEXINGTON, KY, Nov 2.-Miss Alma
Crouch, the 17-year-old daughter of Will
liam o. Crouch, q prominent Bourbon
county farmer, vas walking in her fathers
orchard last evening when she struck her
feet against the body OF dead man lying
in the high weeds ahd fell over it. She
was struck with horror when she recog-
nized the face of her lover, ID. &. Elling-
ton. A few days ago Ellington had
trouble with her father, wha-ordered him
of the premises. They met again next
day when Ellington was talking to Miss
Alma. The girls father attempted vio-
lence upon the boy and the latter drew
his pistol and fired at the old gentleman,
the bullet striking him i'm the leg. He
was put TO bed ano is thought not 10 have
been out of his room since. The body of
the young man showed that life had
been extinct some time. Both eyes were
blown out the killing having been done
with a dou bic -barrelled shot gun. Fully
forty shols had lodged in his face and
head.
There was no gun near, thus disposing
OF the theory of suicide. The sheriff of
Bourbon county visited the scene but no
arrests have been made. Crouch is in
bed and his family say he has not moved
from bis room since the shooting affair
few days ago, which has been kept quiet.
Miss Alma will not talk. She tainted after
q series of screams from fright and was
picked uD by farm hands. The inquest
will be held today.

A STREET SCENE.
A Stranger Swapped Horses Twice
and Got Wet.

There is one marked man in town
whose face, as viewed between the rain
drops, became almost indelibly impressed
upon the retinas of hundreds of Westmin-
ster and Weybosset street pedestrians,
this afternoon, because of q ludicuous
misfortune which befeli him. He had
been swapping horses at we'll known
sale stable near Westminster street, and
evidently got the worse of the bargain,
for the animal ne was first noticeable
with was afflicted with q complication
of finicky tactics. lie started out all right
and somehow got as Far as the city hail
without showing the true inwardnesss of
his nature. Then he began to balk, play
broncho, turn somersaults, and divers
things, but he would not go ahead.
Every kind of suasion and persuasion
was used TO no avail Then the man at
tempted 10 lead him. II took just 10
minutes to get the horse past the Dor
rance hotel, and then 20 minutes more
were consumed getting him up West
m nster, through kddy and mp Wey bos-
set streets. Ii was fine looking horse,
but he wouldn't go, and all the time the
man was getting soaked by the rain,
much to the amusement OF the on
lockers.
About 80 minutes later the same man
was seen on Ciemenco street with another
horse, having evidently swapped again.
Horse No. was of a similar disposition
10 horse No. 1, for he, too, baked and
the poor man went through the same ex-
perience as before, cnly the route was
changed and tire last seen of him he was
leading his second acquisition down Mat
thewson street, aud 1t was raining harder
than e.er.

Now Very Near the End of
Its Course.
The Courtroom Crowded by
an Expectant ThrOng.
Defense Rests Because Governments
Case is Regarded as Weak.

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 2-Seats In the
criminal court were at higher premium
this morning than at any time since the
Holmes trial began. The series OF theat-
rical incidents which crowded upon one
another all the week eliminating in yes
terday's climax where the defense re-
solved TO go to the jury without evidence
relying on the supposed weakness Of the
commonw wealth's case had such an effect
on the public that before z O'Clock this
morning there was pushing, surging
crowd in the corridors waiting and hop
ing 10 gain entrance. Everybody under
stood that when the argument would be-
gin upon the assent bling Of the court to-
day, the opening addresses to the jury by
District Attorney Graham would be the
effort OF his life. For the first time since
the trial began last Monday the gallery
was opened to the surplus portion of the
public having the necessary credentials
TO pass the police lines after the lower
floor had been filled to its capacity. Most
of the spectators therein were women.
The camera fend was on hand. How
he got in is a mystery, but there he was
up In the gallery with mis- machine lev
eled on Holmes in the deck.
Contrary TO all expectations, the con-
sensus of opinion last night and this
morning seemed To be that Holmes would
be acquitted.
When the jury filed into the court a
moment after 10 O'Clock they looked tired
and unkemp. and there was a thin
growth of beard on every cheek.
AT l0:l5 O'Clock. Mr.. Rotan, junior
counsel for the defense, asked Judge Ar
mold for a few moments indulgence, say
ing he had Just receievd word from a
neigh boring drug store that his colleague,
Mr.. Shoemaker, WAS sick there and he de.
sired to join him. Mr.. Rotsn showed
the strain under which hc-hts- fAbefed-
Dark rings encircled his eyes and his face
was pale. He returned malt hour later
and said he had found Mr.. Shoemaker
under the care OF physician, suffering
from copmlete nervous prostraticn. He
called this to the attention of the court
in view OF point of law regarding the
commemorative right TO make the clos
ing address to the jury when the defense
presented no evidence. Mr.. Graham,
however, ended the question by Offering
to waive his rights TO the last speech and
there will be one address by each sid Q
instead of two by the prosecution.
