The Defense Begins its :Evfdence-Th'
Defendant on the Stand

San Francisco, December 22.-The
defense of Mrs. Cordelia Botkf in
dicted for the murder Of Mrs. jim +.
Dunning, opened today, but the pro-
gress made in the breaking down of
slight.
DR.. George Nj. Tyrell was the princi-
pal witness. He, however, was so I'M
certain in his testimony and contra
dicted himself so often that he did the
defense very little good. He testified
that he had visited Mrs. Botkin on
Sunday afternoon, July 31st, between
the hours of 8 and 5 o'clock and treat
ed her for headache.
This is the time and date sworn to
by Mrs. Hennessey and Mrs. dinners,
of Haas candy store, when they sold
Mrs. Botkin a box of chocolate bon
bons. DR.. Tyrell, for some time, made
no entry on his book and entered no
bill for services to Mrs. Botkin. He
could not specify the time Of ais visit
better than between 2 and 5 o'clock
in the afternoon. When questioned re-
garding arsenic poisoning, the attor-
ney for the prosecution made 1t very
clear that Dr.. Tyrell knew little, IL
anything, of arsenic.
John P. Dunning was recalled by
permission and asked If he a told
Mrs. Botkin that his wife and daught-
er had taken up their residence In
Dover, Delaware. He replied that he
mentioned the fact several times.
DR.. w. F. McNutt testified tina the
only reliable way to prove arsenical
poisoning was by an autopsy.
Mrs. Botkin was called TO the stand
at a late hour this afternoon. She told
of her acquaintance with Dunning. de-
nying many of his statements. she
also denied much Of the testimony OF
Lizzie Livernash. a reporter, VINO tes-
tilted to the historical condition OF
Mrs. Botkin when informed OF Mrs.
Cummings death and Of several in
eliminating admissions made by Mrs
Botkin in Interviews with her. She de-
MED ever having purchased candy OF
Haas or that she ever purchased a
handkerchief in the city Of Paris. Snf
will continue her testimony tomorrow

Valley railway at the sale soon to

Eight convicts were sent to the pen
itentiary and thirty-four to jails by the
federal court, the term. of which ended
here Tuesday.
The demand for cotton Of good quail
ity has become very sharp here. There
will be an unusually large amount Of
off-color and staine cotton in his Sec
ton, owing to the late picking. Many
farmers have sadly neglected cotton
picking, rs a trip through the country
will show. They are now all declaring
they will reduce the acreage, but not
much reliance is placed upon such as
sertions when made at this season of
the year.
There is promise of considerable rail-
way development next year. during
h yea ending June 30th last, fifty
four miles were built in the state and
from June 30th to date about forty
five miles have been built.
The semi-annual meeting of the
State Board of Charities was held this
afternoon, DR.. Duffy presiding. The
chief feature vas the report by Secre-
tary c.. b. benson, of the years work.
1t is the impression here that the
Third North Carolina regiment (negro)
will be mustered out. Governor Rus
sell obtained some sort of a promise
from the secretary OF war that it
should be kept in service for the full
term of it's enlistment 1.-TWO years., but
the regiment has not a record which
will commend 1t.
The annual examination Of the peni-
tertiary farms is now in progress.
There is general interest to see the
p~enitentiary statement for this year.
Last year it was not made until mid
summer and even then nobody could
understand it. This time the demo-
cratic legislature will turn on the
light, and make the matter palmer. 1t
is the belief that the penitentiary au-
thorities are not lying on beds of ease
just now.

Vile Language-NegrOes Threaten a
Riot

Macon, Ga, December 22.-Private
Turner, of the Sixth Virginia regiment,
was shot and almost instantly killed
by O.. A. Thrower, a street car conduc-
tor, this afternoon. Turner boarded
Thrower's car very drunk and used the
vileSt language imaginable in the pres
ence of ladies. Thrower then pulled
him out of the car to the rear plat
form and kept him there until a lady
got off. While Thrower was assisting
the lady off. the negro kicked him
several times and applied more vile
epithets. A negro on a trailer-car hen
called Turner, but after a short talk
he returned to Thrower'S car and with
a knife in his hand swore he would
cut Thrower's head off, advanced on
linn. AS he stepped on the platform
Thrower fired. the bullet striking the
negro in the mouth. He died in fifteen
minutes.
A crowd Of negro soldiers and civil
ians soon gathered and swore VEN
geance on Thrower and all street car
conductors. One conductor was chased
several blocks by the negroes. Guards
have been placed on all cars on the line
leading to the negro camps and tonight
the town is under strong guard to pre-
ven an outbreak or the part Of the
negro soldiers.

The ceremony was performed at the
Green street residence of the brides
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. H. P.

St. Johns church, whose splendid rem
dition of the beautiful Episcopal SER
vice always makes it doubly impress

ly sister of the bride, Miss Minnie
Moody, and the best man on the aus
picious occasion was Lieutenant J. G..
Hollingsworth, of Company A, Second
regiment North Carolina volunteers;
sthere were no other attendants. After
the marriage the guests Consisting of
only the near relations) passed from
the handsomely adorned parlor to the
dining ROOM, where refreshments
were served. Mrs. Hawkins, of Oxford,
the brides sister, came down to attend
the wedding.
The Fayetteville foot ballers are get
ting in fine shape for the coming strug-
gle with Wilmington. They are regu-
larly organized now into an association,
with DR.. J. V. McGougan as president,
