We have got to keep up the physical
ana mental tone. Some birds are far
| more intelligent than others. We must
look for the traits we want and then
| strive to reproduce them.
Then. too. a cock must be very care
fully trained for the pit. He must be
exercised for weeks with the greatest
care and skill This is done by run
| ming him around a race track with
hurdles for him to jump. He is also
tossed in the air about 200 times daily
by his trainer. INCREASING attention is

with rare skill and judgment. The

n "fluttcr' or shuttle" out Of bird
that appeared to the unskllcd eye to
| be in n dying condition.
\ cock weighing over Gla pounds is
called n ''shakebag." and is considered
| large enough to meet all Corners. The
name is Il relic Of days when the birds
were brought to the pit side in sacks
and actually shaken out just before
| the battle. Small cocks are matched
| to the ounce. to make their chances as
even as possible.
Among distinguished SOuthernerS
who have been patrons of the sport in
America We're Washington. Andrew

carried some of his best birds with

the charges and then asked for more
bullets.
Monroe had courted the girl about
two years and also paid attention TO
Emma Sandy. The latter told him
week before the shooting that she
would have nothing further to do with
him, II he continued to court the
Massie girl. FreG's mother also IN
formed Whitehair that she would not
come to his house if he kept Pearl
there, but Whitehair needed girl and
did not see anything wrong In her CON
duct.
Being urged to tell what he meant
by saying that "if all reports we're
true, he would not be there long"
sandy explained the remark by saying
Fred had told him he had drunk
bottle Of beer with glass in 1T. This
remark Ms well as others made BY San
dy discredited his testimony with the
jury.
The physicians, c. NJ. Easter and r.
A. Haynes, testified that the presump-
tlon was that she died from the gun
shot wounds. DR.. Easter had the case
in charge and DR.. Haynes was called
in consultation. They testified that
the girls condition appeared so good
that they deemed it best to defer an
operation. She remained in that con
dtion until the afternoon before she
died, when she grew rapidly worse.
The inqulsitors failed to find mo-
tive for the crime and some were anX-
iOuS for post mOrtcm but the officer
in charge did not deem ii best.
The girl was shot several times, one
hole being found in the right side OF
the abdomen, another in the right hip,
two in the left hip, and and flesh
wound on the inner aspect of the left
thigh.
The Jury returned verdict that she
had come 10 her death by gun Shot
wounds at the hands of Fred Monroe.
