Mr. Will j. Angler is engaged with his
brother, Mr.. Jno. G. Angler, in business
at Gary and a few days since his family
moved to. that delightful village.
Hand bills were being distributed over
the city this morning announcing the
Raleigh Tabernacle excursion to DC
coneechee farm next Thursday. A most
delightful place to excurt to.
Mr.. @. M. Edwards is here from
Greensboro ON a visit to relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. J.. Durham are here
from Lynchburg.
Rev. G. A. King presiding elder in the

The assault was unprovoked and very an
moving.
Mrs. B. n. Duke and children are
home from Buffalo Lithia Springs, where
they have been for several weeks.
Rev. A. A. Pruden will on next Sunday
begin mission at the chapel out at
Fairintosh, Col. Benehan Cameron's
beautiful country home. Services will
be conducted each day. Many of the
Durham people take deep interest in
the work out at Fairintosh.
From the appeal made by the ''eom-
mittee go the singers of Durham to come
up to the help of 'Jepthah and his
Daughter" it begins to look like the
effort would prove a failure.
There was an excursion here yester-
day from Lynchburs. Some six eoaehes
were used and about three hundred per-
sons spent the day here
1t commenced to rain last night and
for twelve hours has been almost a con-

would give him nothing to live on, but
told the defendant that if anything hap
pened he would marry her at once.
In March something did happen" and
Robertson, instead of marrying, as he
had promised, took some medicine to
the witness to produce a criminal OPP
Grafton. She did not take it. Two weeks
after this Robertson left for Texas,
where he remained for more than q
year.
Here the letters of Robertson, written
from Texas to the witness, were intro
duced. These protested undying love
and repeated promises of marriage.
The child died in June, 1895, being
a year and seven months old. Robert
son married another woman about Christ
mast, 1894.
"Have you ever improperly known an
other man, other than Thomas Robert
SON." asked counsel for the State.
mo, sir; no, sir; no. SIR repeated the
witness, weeping, the tears gushing
through her fingers as she held her
hands to her face.
Here somebody, several persons, in
the audience, laughed.
Judge Robinson raped loudly, then
said: ''If / catch one Of you Internal
scoundrels, who is laughing at that, I'll
send you to the Jail as long as l pos
sibly can"
And there wasn't a disinterested white
man in the court room who didn't in his
heart say "Amen," and feel like taking
Judge Robinson by the hand and con-
graduating him.
One man said. after court adjourned,
'T've always thought a great deal of
Ia ~ IT 1nx-1 ht,Vn vInT1
a gentleman, every inch OF him-one Of
Natures noblemen-with heart in him
rs big as barrel"
At this point the court took a recess
for dinner. After dinner Miss Hester
was put back on the stand for cross
examination. The most rigid questioning
failed to make her deviate from her orr
ginal story.
The next witness was Mrs Hester,
Julia's mother. She described the girls
condition about the time Robertson went
away to Texas. She said the grid had al
ways been an obedient child, modest and
quiet: that she was never considered
EAST" but on the contrary was of a most
retiring disposition. The witness further
said that though Robertson had visited
at her house for many years, she had
never seen any evidences of any undue
familiarity between them. She denied
that she had ever allowed her daughters
to go about as they pleased and with
whom they pleased.
III. III. Knight, the county treasurer,
was next sworn and testified that up
to the time of the Robertson affair,
Miss IHester's character was considered
good A. r. Hodge also testified to
Miss Hester's good character. He had
known her ever since she was a child.
Here the State rested its case and the
defense introduced five witnesses-all
relatives of the defendant-to prove that
Miss Hester had always been woman
of bad character. They were: Charles
Robertson, brother of the defendant,
Thomas Robertson; Everett carp, a
brother-in-law of the defendant; William
carp, first cousin of the defendant;
Thomas Hester, brother-in-law of
George Robertson, and Frank Weathers,
a brother-in-law of Jim Robertson.
Court will meet at $50 o'clock this
morning, when the hearing of this case
will be resumed.
