He roomed with Mr.. Riddick three

so queerly that witness became con-

seemed to be in great distress. Often
he would threaten to commit suicide

looked upon the accused as mentally
unbalanced. Witness said Riddick was
one of these fellows who when he
'blasphemed one could not "pious' him
at all. He never took any part in the
college sports or games.
RIDDICK ACTED STRANGELY.
Mr.. e. l.. Nunnally, of Reams Station

Witness recalled occasions when accus-

the part or accused, and could recall no
fit of melancholy.

Rev. II. II. Campbell, a member of the
Virginia Conference Methodist church
next testified, and said ne had known

HIS MEMORY BAD.
He had heard accused say that since
his illness at Wakefield he had been
unable TO remember n text or sermon
after completing his discourse. Once
when witness was in Sussex, holding a
revival with the accused. the latter
preached n doctrinal sermon claiming
that his father the witness, and others

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the conclusion of her testimony
recess was taken. The court was lit

Mr.. Il. II. Moss a lawyer of South Car

was with Riddick at college at Spartan
burg two years. and during one session
roomed with him. lie noticed several
times that Riddicll was subject TO spells
of melancholy and depression. Often
he would hold his head in his hands for
an hour. Some times he would be away
from his boarding house for n whole
day. on his return he would be unable
to tell where he had been. One day he
walked into a creek, lost his hat and
came TO the house wet from head to
foot. He was unable to give any ac-
count of what had happened to him.

Pleased with Clifton.

MT. Davey, a mining expert from London, who was sent to Clifton to examine the Lezinsky group of mines, finished his labors Monday last and passed through Fl Paso few days later. In conversation with Record man MT. Davey said he visited nearly all of the mining regions of the world, but this was his initial trip to this section of the southwest. He ex- pressed himself as being greatly sur prised at the mineral wealth of Ari- zona, and expressed the belief that Clifton would be the leading copper camp of the west. He also said it was his opinion that Fl Paso was des- tined to be the mining headquarters of the west.-International Indus trial Record.
