Court Notes.

Strange as it may seem there
was frequently a smile on the
faces of the ladies in the court room
Saturday when the defendant Mus
grave was giving his testimony
while the faces of the men in the
ssoom expressed only pity for the
man and in many cases the convic-
tion that he was telling the truth.
That Musgrave was good wit
ness for himself was the opinion of
all who heard him while on the
stand, and if guilty the general opin-
ion is that he is the shrewdest wit.
ness that has ever been on the stand
here. There was pathos in his
voice that expressed sorrow, self
pity and his manner was that of
man who was seeking to tell the
truth.
The good order in the court room
is noticeable at all times, there is no
crowding, no talking and an absence
of that blood thirsty manner too
often assumed by people who attend
such trials through morbid curiosi-
ty The people, be it said to their
credit, show disposition to let the
law take its course and wild remarks
and personal opinions are noticeable
for their absence.
The presence of so many ladies in
the court room displeased one con
firmed old bachelor who left in dis
gust after saying the court room
smelt like perfume factory. We
want no more murder trials so sup
press his name
Franklin says "a countryman be-
tween two lawyers is like a fish be-
tween two cats" Musgrave is be-
tween ten lawyers; what Is he like2
With 200 ladies attending court
what would you expect of man, poor
man, except that he would be court
ing too.
THAT stand" said one attorney,
"has seen enough perjury to pave the
mouth of hell" Well, it is said that
"hell is paved with good intentions"
but if the alleged material at hand
is used at once to cover the apper-
ture leading to hades there won't be
any danger of any one walking on
that good intention" pavement.
The jury box which is in corner
of the room and removed from any
window, during the hot days was
equal to Turkish bath room.
Very much of the evidence was in
relation to whether or not a willow
tree overhangs the pool where Mrs.
Musgrave's body was found and
whether some of its branches extend
ed downwards and others touch the
water, and one branch projected into
it.
The ladies listened eagerly to the
evidence of the medical experts and
for once in their lives did not go
home and tell the neighbors all about
what II heard while down town."
for nothing but double barreled
cylinder escapement photograph
could retain that evidence.
Judge Hagans FASTENED proceed
ings as fast as possible. He is an
able and conscientious jurist, and he
industriously seeks to speedily dis
patch the business Of his court.
The eloquence of the defendants
counsel caused him, his children and
his aged father, who had seats by his
side to weep bitterly, and the chill
dren of the dead woman and her
old mother who had seats inside the
bar manifested great grief when the
jury was most feeling!y addressed
by counsel for the State.

Thunder and Lightning, Rain and Hail.

During the hard rain, thunder and
lightning storm Monday evening
lightning struck chimney of Adam
Bowers residence and knocked off
several brick and tore hole in the
roof of the house. Mrs. Bower was
sitting on the front porch with her
little child in her lap and both re-
ceiyed severe shock, it was at first
thought that the child was killed
but both it and Mrs. B. have entirely
recovered from the effects of the
shock. The storm came up at about
7:30 p. m. and it rained, as the boys
say, black cats and pitchforks and
binding flashes of lightning follow
ed by loud claps of thunder came in
quick succession. All of the electric
lights in the New DOMINION office
were burned out but the telephone
and telegraph wires were not iniur-
ed. A gentleman who was out at
Loar's old hotel, near Reedsville,
Preston county, says that there was
a fearful storm there and that hail
stones as large as hickory nuts fell
but he does not know whether any
damage was done to the growing
crops by the hail.
