The fever of excitement resulting from

that Charles Davidson, aged eighteen,
an insurance solicitor, had been arrest

charged with criminal assault on Iva
Hutchinson, aged eleven, in a vacant
house in the suburbs not far from the
Gerhard home. Davidson was taken
to the West Indianapolis jail. The
news of the second outrage spread rap
idly. An angry crowd hurriedly as
sembled in the vicinity of the little
prison, and cries of swift vengeance
went up from the crowd. Two lines of
hose were attached to the water plugs,
near at hand, and streams of water
were turned on the mob. which gave
way and scattered. During the inter-
val of comparative quiet which follow

THE MAssEY.PII4or TRIAL.

Capt. John S. Wise, counsel for the
defense in the Massey-Pilot libel case,
made his argument in Norfolk yester-
day and was very bitter on Mr.. Mas
sey throughout. He reviewed the tes-
timony at length as to the bribery
charges, and declared the plaintiff as
guilty as h out side of his own
damning testimony. Thousands were
got from o secret drawer" says Mas
sey, but they were thousands that no
one else saw in that drawer. He has
been convicted slanderer for many
years. The fact, he said, that the dam
age given against him at one time was
only cent doesn't cut any figure. The
plaintiffs counsel have come in whim-
pering and ask you not to try Massey
on figures but on general lines. If they
had said try him on general lying" it
would have been just as reasonable.
The Captain alluded to the fact that
plaintiff had been extremely careful
to put down every item that he could
manufacture to help swell his income
account, while he utterly failed
to record the real amounts OF his dis
bursements. According to many of the
monthly expense accounts, as proved
by the figures, Mr.. Massey would have
been compelled to have lived and sup
ported his family on 81 per month.
Coming up to 1890, counsel had
shown by plaintiffs own testimony
that he did not possess 81, 900, all told.
Captain Wise surprised everybody by
bringing out large plscards on which
he had figured up in heavy letters and
figures, a summary of Mr.. Massey's ac-
counts. Said Captain Wise after read
ing from one of these cards: she
(Massey) never married darkey cou-
Pile that he didn't put it down in his
accounts, and while his grandchild was
in the Miller school ne went there and
charged $40 for preaching to his grand
child"
Captain Wise at one time stopped
and referred to Mr.. Massey having said
that he Massey respected him till he
(Wise) abused Virginia. "How do you
suppose 1 felt when he said that?"
asked Captain Wise, and continuing,
he said ''virginia's past is palm,
her present a problem, her future a
prayer with every throb of my heart.
Virginia is nearer and dearer to me
than anything else in the world" In
explaining how he (Wise) felt after
Mr.. Massey used the expression refer
red to, words would fail to describe the
intensity of Captain Wise's display OF
feeling against Mr.. Massey. Looking
at the jury at one time Captain Wise
said ~ don't like him Massey, don't
like a bone in his body. I think he
ought to have been in the penitentiary
wears ago." At another time he said:
'Are you going to give such man as
this $50, 900 or so cents? He'll be lucky
if he don't wind up in the penitentiary."
Mr.. Massey kept cool and collected
during all of Captain Wise's denuncia-
ton, his face not indicating that he was
especially concerned about what Cap
tain Wise was saying. Captain Wise's
speech was brilliant and stirring at
times. He concluded his argument
after recess, but will get in few finish
ing touches to-day.
J. E. Heath, jr., will speak to-day,
and Mr.. Richard Wake will then close
the case.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Richmond State writes that Secretary
Carlisle says she would not accept the
democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency." A Washington correspondent
OF the Chicago Journal says that when
Secretary Carlisle was asked if he
would accept it, his reply was: "Of
course would. Who Wouldn't" That
the latter remark is morein accordance
with the character of Mr.. Carlisle and
of human nature, tnan the former is
plain to be seen. The thirst for wealth
and the love of power are as strong in
republican, as in monarchical govern
ments.
