THERE is an impression in the mi..,.S
OF some people that the gallows wAs
cheated when Jack Wimberly, father
of the girl who was SO brutally mur-
dered by her uncle, George Mills,
now under sentence of death in Wake
county Jail, was acquitted. He was
on trial for her murder, or, being the
lnstigator of it, but the Jury, after
being out seventeen hours, brought in
a verdict of not guilty in Raleigh last
Saturday. Such a verdict was unex-
pected, and evidences of surprise and
dissatisfaction on the part of the
spectators in the court room and others
were plainly manifested. The solicitor
confidently expected verdict of murder
in the second degree and that was the
general idea. Wimberly and his wife
both burst into tears when the verdict
was announced.

CEN. K. f. LEE.

Englishmen whose past battles
against each other have been recorded
on the pages OF history as evidence of
their valor and heroism, are everywhere
proud Of their country, whose morning
drum beat follows the sun and keep
ing company with the hours, circles
the earth with the continuous and I'M
broken strain Of the martial airs of
England.
Americans everywhere too feel just
pride in the destiny OF the greatest
republic the world has ever looked
upon.
The future now is in the hands of
her citizens whether their fathers wore
the gray or the blue, and the greatest
patriotism and Hottest conservatism
will have to be exercised by all to
prevent the ship of State from being
wrecked on the breakers of the future.
The area of our country is SO great,
the rapidly growing population is
becoming more and more diversified,
the interests of sections are SO diverse,
that great questions, if decided to the
satisfaction of one or two parts OF
common country, give dissatisfaction
to the remaining parts. Improved
machinery is doing away with human
labor more and more and the ranks
of the army of the discontinued are
being Crammed with recruits The
gild!c which binds the States Of the
American Union has already displayed
weak spots since the war between them,
as defective as the armor plate CT new
national cruiser.
May the descendants of the veterans
of the blue and the gray exercise such
wisdom, conservatism and patriotism
that, like great rock from whose sides
surgng seas recoil, they will become
great reserve around which the lovers
of Republican liberty as taught by our
fathers, can rally and against which
all elements of destruction will dis
appear.
The same laws govern and the same
flag flies over all to-day, and the
Americanism and loyalty of the South
must not be attacked when we meet to
celebrate the memory of our war heroes
and recount the deeds of our soldiers.

lines written many years ago are re-

There is a custom, hallowed
Midst all nations of the earth,
To make, with ceremony grand,
Each noble Patriots birth.

Dickinson-What is the width of the yard
between the rear wall of the church and the

Judge Murphy was not satisfied with
this kind of arithmetic. He thought that

yard 10 feet deep the building should be

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
DR.. Barrett's Examination Con-
cluded-The Model of the Tower
and Beifry.


The afternoon session opened in the
much more roomy quarters formerly occu-
pied by department OF the Superior
Court. Almost thousand would-be spec
tators gathered in front of the door to this
room and in the dark corridor leading
thereto. They pushed and crowded for
fully half an hour before couple of hun
dred or more of them were finally admit
ted and the rest shut out. There is
scarcely room large enough in the City
Hall building to accommodate the crowd
that sought admission to Judge Murphy's
court yesterday afternoon.
When the jury, attorneys and the at
taches of the court had pushed and
crowded their way through the throng
they found in the courtroom an admirably
constructed skeleton model of the tower
and belfry of Emmanuel Church. 1t
proved to be the work of Officer Russell,
the draughtsman of the Police Depart
ment who made the cunnlngly constructed
model the subject of lengthy description
after the examination of DR.. Barrett had
been concluded.
"How do you conclude that the incisions
on the neck were made by human
hand ?' was Mr. Deuprey's first question.
THE wounds were just the size, just
about as deep and had the same general
appearance as those produced by the fin
ger-nails," answered the witness.
could not some other sharp instruments
have pro iuced the same similar wounds?"
POSSIBLY So" the witness admitted.
"Then it is true, is it not, that there is
nothing to prove conclusively that these
incisions were made by tinger-nails? ?" asked
the attorney.
Except, as 1 have said, their size and
general appearance, which Indicated very
strongly that they were produced by finger
nails"
"But YOU have said you did not measure
the wounds; do you not know that there
is great difference in the size of finger
nails?"
The witness thought there was not such
a great difference. Then Attorney Deu-
prey asked him to examine the tinger-nails
of the clerk and the nearest deputy sheriff
and tell the jury whether they were of the
same size.
Witness did this, and then explained for
the second time that the decomposition of
the body had proceeded far enough to
make minute measurements of the wounds
impracticable.
Did you insert anything in the
wounds?" asked Deuprey.
my own finger-nails."
you say the wounds were one above
the other?"
( Eyes, sir?"
"Could human hand have made such
wounds-with such regularity"
Witness thought it could
Then Mr.. Deuprey spread out FIVE of his
fingers and clutched them against the
other hand, at the same time asking the
witness if hand in that position could
have made these regular occurring wounds.
DR.. Barrett answered also in pantomime
and speech. He closed his fingers and
clutched them, showing that in such a
position the same kind of wounds could
easily be made.
"And do you think that hand held in
that fashion would have strength enough

Russell stated that Mission and Valencia
streets are 50 feet inches wide from curb
to curb, and have 15-foot sidewalks; that
Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets
measure 81 feet from curb to curb, and that
Bartlett street is 80 feet between curbs
The sidewalks are all Is feet wide. The
distance from Twenty-third street to En-
manuel Church was placed at 1876 feet, and
from Twenty-second at 206 feet.
Barnes-What is the distance from the center
OF the building front at 124 Bartlett street, in
dicated by the blue diagram, and the north
corner of the fence around the church?
Russell (after measuring with his scale)-72
feet.
BaInes-What is the distance from that center
to the center of the gate in the fence?
Russell latter measuring)-117 feet
Barnes-I offer the diagram in evidence, to
be marked Peoples Exhibit B."
The defense-No objection.
Judge Murphy-Itis admitted, with the dis
tinct understanding that both sides may refer
to it at any time for any purpose.
Barnes-Take the witness.
Dickinson-When and by whom were the
measurements for this diagram made?
RUSSELL made them-I and another officer
do not remember who it was
Dickinson-Were they compared with the
official map of the City?
Russell-Only to get the official widths o!
streets, lots, sidewalks and so forth.
Dickinson-What experience have you had in
plating maps?
Not much.
What is the width of the alley on the south
side of the church?
Russell (measuring)-T feet.
Dlckinson-And that of the alley on the north
side of the church?
Russell-A trife over three feet.
Dickinson-Is it not nearer four feet than
three?
Russell (still measuring)-Itis three feet nine
inches.
Dickinson-You said that on the other side
was twenty feet?
Russell-Yes

the tower and belfry Of Emmanuel Church
that he had constructed for use during the
trial.
Mr.. Russell also identified a line map of
the territory Immediately surrounding the
church, and this, with the model of the
tower and some photographs of the church
and its vicinity, offered by Attorney Dick
inson, were all admitted as exhibits in the
case.
This concluded the days proceedings.
In the morning the Coroner and his assist
ants will take the stand to describe where
the clothing and personal effects of the
dead girl were found by them.
So far the case has not presented many
of its revolving details, but some of these
will doubtless develop to-day. Much of
DR.. Barrett's testimony was necessarily of
nature that may not be printed for gen.
eral circulation, though it was all couched
in technical language.
His description of the cruel fnger-nails
marks on the poor girls throat was the
most dramatic thing of the day, though
even this was dramatic from the picture it
presented to the minds of the listeners
rather than from the manner in which the
witness told it. He spoke carefully,
slowly, and in most matter-of-fact way.
And the women in court as spectators
listened to it all, every word of it. One of
the most interesting features of this trial
to an observer must be the conduct of the
women who sit through it all, who crane
their necks to let no syllable escape them,
and who finger in the courtroom after
adjournment until the bailiffs find it
necessary to ask them to go out.

"In your autopsy you did not ind the
air passages entirely closed ?"
II did not, but they might have been
entirely closed and then relaxed little
again, /" said the witness.
After further purely technical examina-
ton, Mr.. Deuprey concluded his question
ing and Mr.. Barnes took the witness again.
s'You based your diagnosis of the cause of
death upon other evidences of asphyxla-
ton than the condition of the air passages,
did you not ?" asked the District Attorney.
II did"
"What were those symptoms?"
Congestion of the inside of the larynx,
congestion in the lungs and in the brain.
There were many physical symptoms of
asphyxiation present in the body when you
examined it?" Mr.. Deuprey questioned
again, and added:
Have you not already said that conges-
ton of the larynx IS produced by deeom-
position?"
'Yes, but in this case the congestion was
in line, and of such general nature as to
suggest only asphyxia as the cause"
This was practically the conclusion OF
Dr. Barrett's printable evidence, aud when
he had vacated the witness-chair table
was brought in on which to stand the model
of the tower and belfry, so that it could be
better viewed by the jury, while Mr.. Rus
sell, the next witness, carefully described
its construction.
The model represented the entire north
west corner of Emmanuel Church, from
the center of the front entrance doors to a
point several feet in advance of the edge of
the gallery, and from the ground level up
to and including a portion Of the spire
above the belfry. 1t was in skeleton form
that is, the upright timbers alone indi-
Gated the walls and the rafters alone
showed the position of the. roof of the
original plastered ceiling and of the false
wooden ceiling below. But the floors of
each story and the treads of the stairways
were represented by solid surfaces, and,
though bare openings alone suggested win
dows, doors had been hung at the entrance
to the library, to the library closet and to
the gallery door into the tower.
The model was made on scale OF an
inch and a half to a foot and was very
