DIR. Isaiah III. White on the
stand "a. IAN ENpcrt-Dc-
tails of the Trial.

The taking OF evidence in the trial OF
James Penrosc Garter for the killing OF
Charles F.. Moore will be concluded
some time to-day. and argument will be
begun tomorrow, though It is not at
all probable that he verdict in this in
tercsting case will be known tefore
Thursday.
The feature Of yesterday was the ap-
rearance on the stand Of the prisoner.
who testified yaluably I'm his own behalf,
and was put through a close cross ques-
tionms by the counsel for the Coamon-
wealth.
His manner yesterday was not as calm
and composed as on tho former coca
sion, aut he seemed at times much ex-
cited, and betrayed great irritation
when the same question was asked him
.eyeral times over. Time and again his
counsel had TO admonish him 10 answer
questions directly and not 70 argue ms
can case, which he was disposed 10 DO.
Carter directly and souarcly contra
dicied tho testimony OF Ollie May Guer-
.ant the ten year-Old ColOrcd girl, who
stated that she was at his store on tho
morning Of the killing. and was asked
10y him % look down the road and sce
whether p man was coming in a top
tusgy. ON this point also. the defence
Introduced three witnesses, who testified,
With rnuch attention % detail, that they
had been al Cartors store between and
s o'cl-ck on the morning mentioned, and
had not seen the Guorrant girl Car
ter also cchttadicted Mr. l. L. Fussell.
Deputy Sheriff, who testified that the
former had voluntarily told him that hs
fired three shots.
MR. CHILDREY ACCUSED.
The most sensational portion OF his
evidence. however. was when the Com
monwealth's Attorney questioned him
regarding the statement he had made
20 Mr. Charles ". Chiidrey. that hs
had hred three shots, and the first OF
them KILLED Moore"
In denying this statement Carter grew
excited, and accused Mr.. Childrey or
having lied on him scanda alously.' az
the same time pointing his finger ~
Mr.. Chiidrey, who sat IN the audience.
There was only one point Of any
moment wherein Carter's statement dif-
ferod from the one made by him no his
first trial At that time he stated that
Carter was looking al him when he
fred the two shots This time he said
that Moore was not looking az him. on
this point both himself and his daughter
changed their evidence.
Carter. under questioning by Mr..
Sands. made the admission mat Doc him
self Was a very cool man, and but rarely
lost his head.
The defence also introduced Mr.. a. II.
Tyson. the Manchester magistrate. VINO
tried Moore when his wife nad him ar
rested on September 8, lS91. The Court.
however would not allow him 20 testify
along he line that would nave helped
the prisoners case.
Martha Turner. the colorcd woman 20
whose house Carter was going when he
met Moore. made "a radical change IN
her testimony. She stated "a the Novem-
ber trial that she only knew of Carriers
coming 10 her house early IN the morn
ing of the day of the shooting by what
her children had ;oid her she being in
bed and asleep. Yesterday she stated
that she heard Carters voice through
the window. and that when he heard
she was IN bed he said he would come
back later.
Dr. Isaiah White was put on the stand
as an expert by the defence. and his
testimony tended 90 show that the
wounds ON Moores body could have been
inflicted by a party standing Directly

The first witness examined yes
terday morning was Mr.. y. T.
Throckmorton, who was one OF
MoOre's workmcn. who testified that
Dee examOned the buggy short
time after Moore was shot. He said he
stopped down and looked az the running
gear OF the vehicle. but saw no bullet
hole He had not seen the buggy since.
he said. and did not know the nature OF

MRS MOORES TESTIMONY
Mr.. o Raymond Brown who made 4
sten0graphic report OF tho evidence for

Mrs Moore had said nothing on her first
examination OF the buggy having been
taken ont 10 Lakeside after the tragedy.
but had said tha. 10 hal never left her

tion OF Carter on September 18th.
Mr. Wendenburg then started 20 ask
Mr. Brown what had been testified 70 by
Mr. Sy'vanus Moore on the occasion OF
