THE RIDDICK CASE.


The argument in the case of Rev. J.
E. R. Riddick, indicted for the murder
of Dr.. Temple, was opened yesterday at
Lswrenceville. 1t is conceded that the
prosecution won victory In securing
the instructions favorable to that side.
These practically leave the whole mat
ter OF the sanity OF the prisoner TO be de-
termined by the jury.
Mr.. E. w. Saunders, the speaker Of
the Virginia House Of Delegates, opened
for the Commonwealth. Mr.. Saunders
asserted that the hypothetical question
upon which the testimony OF Dire
Hodges, Drewry and Coroner Taylor
was based did not cover the case oil Rid
dick, arguing that the "diviDe commits
sion' clause was not worthy ofcredence.
He commended that no evidence bad been
produced to substantiate the claim that
the prisoner had attempted to commit
suicide. He said that such trivislities
had been introduced and might be re:
psrded In any other narrow, bigoted
prejudiced mind.
Mr.. Saunders was followed by Col
Meade Haskins for the defense. This
attorney for the prisoner made an
earnest appeal for his acquital, based
upon the plea of insanity.

after a consultation with his manager
who came over from Baltimore last

to have the Mayors decision appealed

to Justify taking advice. There is no
let up in the Mayors efforts to arrest

THE CRYING EVIL.

Called upon to speak at a primary
in his ward. Hon. G. Il. Watson is
quoted by the Sentinel as saying:
1--WE are rapidly drifting into a gov
eminent of plutocracy 1t is not the
man who makes fortune that IS 10
be denounced. but the men who make
vast fortunes and use them to control
government by a corruption fund TO
tempt needy men to sell their sur
frageS.
More truth has not been packed
into q few words than Mr.. Watson has
done here. The apologist for trusts
and corruptionists, whenever a man
denounces their methods, cries out,
You are an anarchist. You are fight
ing wealth." and thinks by such clap
trap to silence men who protest not
against the possession of millions hon
estly acquired, but against. the use
of them ito control government by
Il corruption fund to tempt needy men
to sell their suffrages.| The man who
stands against such use of wealth is
the best friend of honestly acquired
and honestly used wealth.

GROWING DIVORCE EVIL.

One cannot pick up North Caro-
lima paper these days and read the
proceedings of court without being
impressed with the alarming increase
in divorce suits. In its account OF the
cases pending in Cumberland Superior
Court, the Fayetteville Observer says:
There are also on the docket six
suits for divorce. about the usual pro-
portion which nowadays engages
each term of court in this county. 1t
is only within the last few years that
divorce suits have become an item
with our courts, but within this time
they have become alarmingly fire.
qnent.'
Nearly every Legislature has been
letting down the bars Il little until.
unless there is change. North Caro-
lima will take the unenviable place
held by Oklahoma as the paradise of
parties desiring to secure divorces. All
the recent additional causes ought to
he repealed and the Bible causes alone
allowed to stand.

THE AUDITORIUM IN SIGHT.

Raleigh can have an auditorium if
the people want it.
Nj mass meeting in Metropolitan
Hall last night. after discussion by Il
small gathering of citizens, twenty
four men subscribed $4,000. There
are seventy-six more of Raleigh's pro-
gressive business and professional
men who will give 500 each. and as
many more who will take stock in
smaller amounts.
\ committee, with Mr.. Joseph +.
Pogue. as chairman, has been named.
1t will press this matter upon the at
tention of the people, and ten thou
sand dollars ought to be subscribed
before the end of the, month.
The question is, not can Raleigh af-
ford to build the auditorium? bat
can Raleigh afford to surrender it's
primacy as convention city? If the
people of Raleigh do their duty and
act promptly, the auditorium will be
ready for use in 1901.
