his stand highest upon the mound and rail-

The Norfolk Conspiracy Trial

Norfolk, July 22.-The trial of Joseph
Cannon, E. Guy Hall and William
Smith for conspiracy to ruin the char
acter of Cannon's wife in order to man.
ufacture evidence to be used in divorce
proceedings was resumed before Jus
tice TOmlin this morning. A sensation
was sprung at the opening of the ses-
sion by the surrender Of Hall by his
bOndsmen.
The evidence today was highly sem
sational. It was proved that Cannon
had said in a house of ill-fame. not
more than a week after his marriage,
that he hated his wife. A day or two
later he declared positively that he in
tended to procure a divorce and that
he would resort to any means to ac-
complish that end. Contrary to expec-
tations, Smith did not turn states evil
dence.
The evidence was closed this after
noon and argument for the prosecution
was made by the commonwealth at
torney. Several counsel will speak to-
morrow. 1t is expected that the argu-
ment will be concluded during the day.
Interest in the case is continually in
creasing. The court room is crowded
at every session and the papers con-
tanning of the trial are eager
ly read.
