of that caliber was in the possession OF

was found upon the defendant; that d

| made in his own handwriting was
found in the defendants clothing, and

that some time before the murder Dot
son had proposed to Chadwick to rob

testimony to establish that the watch

old man and fled. The memorandum

movements and this will be corroborat-

The vigilance Of the attorneys for the
defense was again illustrated at the
opening of court yesterday morning,
when Attorney Trippet raised the point
that the minutes of the court had been
amended without proper authority.
clerk McGulnnesS explained that an ad-
dltion of minor nature to rectify an
omission had been written in the min
utes prior to their being read and sign

properly before the court on the mat
ter and that no amendment had been
made.
The jury was called at 9:44 a. m.
Juror Peterson complained to the court
| that he had sick headache and feared
1t would become worse. He desired to
be excused, but the court would not
consent to let him go.
Attorney Trippet, for the defense at
this point asked that all witnesses be
sworn and then excluded from the court
room. This was done. although it caused
all the deputy sheriffs to retire, they
being witnesses, and left the prisoner
unguarded. Later the court amended
the order SO that the deputy sherins
might remain in court.
AT 9:5S a. III. Prosecuting Attorney

nation in the case, following it with his
statement Of what the state proposed

Three days We're required to secure a

all and reflect before he can be con-
WINGED a mans life Is the stake. The
game proceeds with the courtesy and
quietness and dignity of a game of
chess. Not yet has the strain worn the
nerves Of the lawyers to that fine edge
that causes them TO snap and bicker in
argument.
Now and then, to be sure, they object
and give tongue to protest. but it is
without that sharpness and bitterness
of tone that will come later.
And through it all sits that cold, gray
man-Dotson: unmoved, unemotionai
cynical. Now and then his colorless
eyes and the corners of his mouth smile
humorously as the lawyers deliver
grave jest. All day his jaws move reg

 people have taken an exceptional interest in them. A soelability has
 been lent to these occasions which has served to augment the crowds greatly, and they have offered the candidates an excellent opportunity to meet the people. l do not mean by this that these reunions have been responsible for the early an. nouncement, but mention it incl dentally. The people seem to get their erjoYnent out of the reupions, and their solicitude out of the cot ton crop. l do not think we will have much trouble in Arkansas so far as politics ale concerned.
 ''So far as the next national Dem ocratic convention is concerned, anything that I might say at this time would be purely speculative, and really it is too early for one to determine iu his mind what is like ly to be the action of that body.
