DIR. Keene, superintendent of tho State
Hospital for the Insane, said there was no
record of any treatment OF Murphy tor
delirium tremens at the state instttu-
tions, but Murphy had bPen treated twice
for muscular rheumatism. Attorney
General Tanner put in the form of =
hypothetical question the testimony OF
the states witnesses as to what took place
in the barber shop OF DE AmaraI, the man
killed by Murphy, tie Iatter's reasons
given after the shooting for the desd and
the absence of nervousness, and asked IL
this indicated delirium tremens. The
witness reply was tnat the testimony
was inconsistent with the idea Of delir-
ium trefnens
Ana in support of his statement, sa id
among other things, that man suffer
ing from delirium tremens did not mind
his personal appearance and would mob
ask for an opportunity to shine his shoes.
anu that n victim OF delirium trsmens
would show trembling symptoms for sew
eral days after an attack.

The closing arguments In the trial OF
John Murphy. indicted for the murder OF
his brother-in- law Jose ph DE Ameral, the
Portuguese barber, at the latter's shop,
296 Thurber's avenue, on Nov. - OF last
year, were begun this noon. The defence
relies on the testimony of several wit
nesses TO prove that Murphy was suffer
ing from an attack of delirium tremens,
a species of insanity. There was consid-
cradle testimony upon the condition of
the prisoner, not only ON the day of the
shooting but for nearly week previous
TO that day. to the effect that Murphy
had been drinking great deal and that
he had talked and acted queerly on the
day before he did the shooting, introduced
by the counsel fer the defence. The
state today introduced more expert testi-
mocy TO show particularly that had Muir
ply been suffering from delirium trenens
he would not have been in the normal
and quiet condition hs was in imire-
diately after the shooting.
michael Day was the first witness called
by the defence this morning. tie - a
stage carpenter and has known Murphy
20 years and previous To seeing Murphy
in court saw him on the 18Th of Novem-
ber last. Noticed Murphy on that day on
Pine street near Richmond street Mt "a dis
tance. Murphy was going along the street
with "a hat In one hand and running his
other hand through his hair. W.t1ess
went mp to.Murphy and spoke TO him and
said. Hello, John. Murphy expressed
pleasure at seeing a friend and wanted u
great favor done him. Witness offered to
be of any help he could be 10 Murphy and
the latter expressed great fear of man
with q butchers oleayer who was follow
ing him. There was no one in sight at
the time and Murphy said: II oid rot
know you at first. but you have let that
fellow get too close. and l must get
away. Murphy then started away, going
down Pine street to the east.

The counsel opened with on eloduent
statement OF the Importance OF personal
liberty after which he took up this law
i'm regard To- delirlun tremens and In
sanity and the evidence in regard to the
prisoners condition. MIR. Dockery also
dwelt at l,ngtb on the necessity o. the
states proving malice md he argued the
state had produced no testimony To snow
thore was any malice on the part OF
Murphy.
The defendant did not take the stand
during the trial a the sustaining OF the
main contention Of his counsel ttat he
was suffering from delirum tremens
made 10 unnecessary. The case was given
10 the jury late his afternoon.

MIR. AND MRS. GEORGE WANDER.
BILr.

On Saturday afternoon George W.,
Vanderbilt brought to his palatisl
home in Carolina its new mistress, his
bride. Preparations for this home CON-
ing were being made all last week and
every train that passed through Ashe.
Vile brought rich additions TO the al.
ready gorgeous furnishings of Bilt-
more.
Wien it was known in Ashevi
that Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt would al
rive on the afternoon train Saturday,
with their private car, Swannanoa, q
large crowd collected at the depot a! 1
gave them an enthusiastic greeting as
they entered 8 victoria and started for
BiItmore. They were accompanied
only by valet and maid and were
escorted by three gentlemen, the mana
gers of the estate, who preceded them
on horseback to their home.
The ASheville Gazette says concern
ing their reception within the grounds
The roads were as smooth es glass
ard the strawberry bed had been
primed and trimmed into perfect sym
metry. The estate was spick and span
throughout. Nothing unusual occurred
as Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt drove along
until they reached the road that leads
to the mausion. Here they were con-
fronted by a big horse shoe OF flowers
arehing the road. On either side of
ne road were lined the employees OF
the estate. Each department had
symbol. The dairymen stood beside
some of the finest COWS, the gardners
held vegetable stake, the foresters bad
twigs and green ribbons on the lapels Of
their COATS, while the florists tosst d
roses, carnations and tZa cas- before the
carriage.
"a cheer went up as the master and
mistress OF BIltmore passed. Mr.. Van
derbilt dotted his hat and she smiled.
Both bowed frequently in response to
the ovation.
'Fron the archway to the mansion
the carriage passed over a road that
was carpeted with bridal roses. AS the
victoria swung gracefully to the portal
the house servants lined themselves up
in the hallway, stiff and stolid eyed 10
new liveries."
At night the employees of the estate
participated in torchlight procession
and the Biltmore band played through
out the evening, while brilliant fire.
works illuminated the grounds and
bonfres lighted up the hills around the
mansion.
Uonct raing the appearance of the
bride on ner arrival, an Ashevilla pa
per says: Some two inches taller
than Mr.. Vanderbilt, she has a fine
form and carriage. She was attired In
pearl gray travelling gown Of simple
design and wore an Englsh walking
ba. of the same color. About her neck
was feather collsrette. Her dark
brown hair WAS waved and dressed
rather high. Her features are arlstc-
cratic, though her face is full Her
caeeks wore fine brown tan, acquired
no dcubt in the recent sea voyage.
She smiled prettily as she faced the
crowd

Shore Cargoes Shifted

"Once in awhile we read, said Mir. Bozzle, "that the ship So-and-so or the steamer So-and-so has returned to port, or has arrived perhaps with a decided list; cargo shifted Sometimes we see land craft, truck, with cargo shift ed-a big pile of boxes, towering high, shaken over to one side or the other by continued jolting along on the side of the street on the slope.
 "A load thus shifted can't be shaken back by running along on the opposite slope of the road It is like stick of wood that has been bent and kept bent till the grain is set. Whatever you do with it the crook stays in.
 If care is exercised in turning cor. ners and in navigating generally, the shifted load can usually be carried to its destination as it is without upsetting, though it may work harder. The expe- rienced truckman knows just what can be done with it, and whether it has shifted as far as it will go. and all that. If it Is so badly shifted as to make the operation of the truck difficult or dan- gerous, he hauls to one side by the curb and anchors-that is to say, he halts and unloads the shifted top courses ot his cargo and then reloads and makes everything trim, end secure Andssqes ;put a9Atn H~,t17pw yps616pn
