A BRIEF CHARGE TO THE JURY.

The charge to the jury by Judge Hurd was brief
He told the jurors that under their oath they
bound TO decide the on the evidence
alone. excluding all considerations Of resentment
account Of the terrible nature OF the crime
and also excluding all considerations OF pity on
account OF the fact that the defendant was a
woman. He said that the must be deter
mined the evidence alone. no matter how disa-
greeab!c the duty might be what might he the
consequences to the defendant. The first thing TO
be determined I'm their deliberations was the cause
OF death. The prosecution said the girls death
was due to violent suffocatlon The defence de-
clared that there was nothing In the evidence to
show anything OF the sort. II the jurymen found
that death was really due to suffocaton then
their next duty 10 determine whether the de-
PENDANT caused It, and. II so. with what intent
Judge Hurd defined some length the various de-
grees OF homicide, and told the jurymen they
might find Mrs. Place guilty Of murder In the first
second degrees. OF manslaughter I'm the first
degree He called the attention OF the jurors to
the fact that there was no direct evidence OF tho
evidence to prove that the crime was committed
Circumstantial evidence. however. was good evil
spect TO III isirate the fact that circumstantial
evidence might at tmes, be stronger than the most

family and all the circumstances which had been

on Mr. Place Which, the prosecution said was an
her crime from the person most Interested.
The jury retired at 1886 p. m

.EXTRASCHOOL MONEY
The Counties That Have Pros
pered Under the New Law.
GIVING EXTRA STATE AID
CLEVELAND TAKES THE LEAD
AND is ONCE AGAIN A
BANNER COUNTY.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTIONS
A Summary Of the Amounts Subscribed by
Counties and Augmented by State
Subscriptions Near $4,000
Extra Donatons.
Extra Donations.

The question of public education in
North Carolina is a very live question,
and will he. so long as the neel for
education is properly appreciated by
our people.
1t will be remembered that the last
school law provided that the State
would contribute to any township or
county an equal amount donated by
such township or county, either by pub
lie or private subscriptions. An election
was held and only few townships in
the State voted IN extra appropriation.
The records show, however, that enough
counties have raised extra school
funds by public and private subscrip
tiOns to secure extra appropriations
from the State of nearly ten thousand
dollars.
The following figures taken from the
auditors books and verified by Chief
Clerk Simms, of the Auditors office,
show that several counties have been
the beneficiaous of this extra appropria-
ton.
The county Of Cleveland leads off with
an appropriation of $1.S77.00. showing
that this county has spent during the
past school year, $3,755.50 extra for
public schools.
Rutherford county holds second place
in the list, with extra subscriptions of
81. S50.35, securing from the State a
like amount, making its extra school
fund $3,70070.
Buncombe comes next with $1,23S.39
making, with the States appropriation
$2,576.TS.
The county of Meeklenburg comes
third in the list. This county raised, by
public and private subscriptions,
$3.50 extra. augmented by like
amount from the State making
Mecklenburg's total $1,000.
The fifth county on the list is Surry.
This county raised $653.02 extra, giving
it 81, 30604 extra school money.
The county of Green comes next with
S511.75: then Beaufort with $500; Jack
son, $467 80; BERTHE. $356.S7; Haywood
$500; Forsythe, 1852; Watauga, $142.S7;
CASTOR, S125.SS; Davidson, $102.44 and
Pitt, 500.
1t will be seen that seventeen counties
in the State made extra donations to
the common school fund, and received
extra donations from the State under
the new act The State has paid ont
up to date S9,S95.62 of the $4,000 con
ditionally appropriated.
This is a sufficient amount to demon
strate whether or not. this new clause
in the school law was wise or unwise,
and a sufficient number of counties have
made these extra subscriptions to tell
whether or not the law is a wise one,
and fortunately the counties taking adj
vantage of the law are so situated geo.
graphically as to tell whether or not the
law is a good one for the different sec
tions of the State.

REFUSED COMPROMISE
HIS EMPLOYERS WOULD HAVE
DEALT LENIENTLY WITH HIM.
Ills PRESENT WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN
A Warrant Out for His Arest--He has Left tn
City but Whether on This Account
Cannot Yet be Positively
Stated.

George III. Glass. erstwhile manager OF
the Southern Bell Telegraph and Teie-
phone Company, is in trouble again
Late yesterday afternoon Warrant
was issued for his arrest, returnablt
before Justice NJ. V. Barbee, on the Sc
rious charge of forgery and embezzle-
ment. There are several cases against
him. The Bell people claim to have a
straight case of forgery. 1t seems that
Glass placed the names of parties on the
pay roll who were not employed and
drew money for them. He also embez-
zled money from the company ut diff
ferent periods. The company state that
his accounts have been irregular for sew
eral years. Glass knew of these things
three months ago and was given an OPP
portunity to square matters, but pre-
ferred to "face the music" in open court.
Glass left the city Saturday afternoon
at 3 o'clock. but as he often goes away
on these trips his absence cannot be
attributed to the charges against him.
There is suit now pending against him
in the Supreme Court for divorce pro-
ceedings instituted by his wife.
The trial will be held before Justice
Barbee as soon as Glass is apprehend-
ed. 1t promises to be n hot one and
many interesting developments are look
ed for. Mr. Robert G. Strong appears
rs counsel for the Bell Telephone Com
pany.
