We took the whole lot-the end

turer's stock.
The patterns are quiet, gaudy,

Americans will have to cease opera

DAVIS ACQUITTED.

The trial OF Judge Rhea's stenogra-

of ex-Congressman James A. Walker
was concluded at Bristol yesterday
with a verdict of not guilty. Davis re-
ceived congratulations of the citizens
generally. Attempted applause, when
Clerk Stone read the verdict, was
quickly suppressed by the court. 1t
has been ascertained from some OF the
members of the jury that one OF the
controlling circumstances in the case
was the fact that Walker swore on the
stand he had no knife or dirk on him
the night OF the shooting, and yet the
next witness, his secretary, Calfee,
stated that he undressed him at the
MOTEL that night and there removed a
scabbard from Walkers left shoulder,
in which there was q six shooter army
pistol, aud removed a belt from his
waist, in which there was an Italian
dirk" with a blade four inches long and
horn handle.
