THE NORFOLK COURTS
Fourth Days Trial Of the Coke
RidgeweII Shooting Case.
Tho Bureau OF Employment nud I'm.
Dor. ond the Free aud Accepted
order of Moses Inoorporatod-Tho
Police Court.

It is hardly probable from present in
dications that the trial of w. a. Coke
for shooting Councilman James A.
Ridgewell will be concluded this week.
The fourth day Of the trial
was productive of considerable
testimony, but It came practically
from two or three witnesses. The case
is progressing much slower than the
attorneys had expected.
When the case was resumed yester-
day morning the prosecution withdrew
objection to Mrs. Marsh, the alleged
propretreSs OF q diSreputable house,
being confronted with Mrs. Coke, wife
Of the defendant. Mr.. Duncan stated
that the Commonwealth had objected
toss, this Thursday because it was
Thought it would be subiecting Mrs
Coke to an unjust trial, but she, after
learning of the matter. wished to clear
her name of the accusation that she
had been at Mrs. Niarsh's house.
Counsel for the defense objected. I'M
less they were allowed to put p. j.
Morris OH the stand to prove that Mrs.
Marsh said to him directly after the
shooting that Mr.. Ridgewell and Mrs.
Coke had visited her house. This was
not allowed by the court.
THE TESTIMONY.
ID. l.. Groner, attorney at law. was
Introduced to tell of the conversation
which took place between the negro
Brown, witness in the case for the
defence Thursday, and Mr.. Thorn, at
the latter's office. Brown said, accord
ing to witness Groner, that he had
never carried notes from Mrs. Coke TO
AIR. Ridsewell.
Arthur J. Hall. Mr.. RidEewell's book
keeper. next testified rs 10 the cores
pondence between Mrs. O'Neil, Mrs
Colkc's sister, and Mr.. RidGewel, which
was introduced at the first day of the
trial. He identified the letters. The
Identification of the SCRAPS of letters,
etc, consumed about an hour.
DR.. Southgatc Leigh sworc that when
he took MIR. Ridgewell home the after
noon he was shot Mr.. Ridgewell rcceiv-
cd Il letter from Mrs. O'Niell. The let
ter was produced ana recognized by DIR.

STRIKE WEARING AWAY.
ALL OF THE PACKERS HAVE MEN
AT WORK.

Appearances indicate that the oyster
shuckers' strike is on the wane. and
that in few days it will be over. DR..
Atwood, of Boston, of D. Atwood &
Co., is in Norfolk looking after the in
forests Of his packing house here.
y prominent packer stated last night
that every packer has a number of
ssuckers at work, some only two or
three, and others twenty-five or thirty.
Mr.. Fuerstein, Of Fuerstein & Co,
stated last night that his firm had a
full complement of shuckcrs, and had
turned away a number of applicants

The men are drifting back by two's
and thTee's to the houses where they
have heretofore been employed. and
they so to work on the understanding
that they abandon the Suckers Union.
The interruption to the ps >kers' bus
mess came. fortunately for them, at
a time of dullness and light demand for
oysters on account of the warm
weather 1t also found many OF them
with more or less oysters in cold
storage, so their trade has been taken
care of. The dull season will probably
still continue for some time. and no
further serious trouble is anticipated
by the packers
