"Zenda" atmosphere in "Graustark." which
deals with the adventures of a young
American in pursuit of the reigning prin-

The author writes of Stevenson out of his
love for the man, not that he feels the need
Of another biography or that he is called
upon to compile the monumental Life

modestly terms his work a brochure" al
though it has the proportions of complete
study of all Of Stevenson's physical and

KERR ACQUIT TED
OF MURDERCHARGE
Pleaded Non VuIte on Other Count.
Sentence viii Likely be Pro-
nounced o-Day.
nv Associated Press

PATTERSON, n. j., Jan. 2S.-George }.
Kerr, who was Jointly indicted with Nc
Alister, Campbell and Death on a charge
of criminal assault and murder IN the
first degree in connection with the death
of Jennie Bosschieter in court to-day be-
fore Judge Dixon pleaded non Nulte TO
the charge OF assault.
The plea of non vulte contendere to the
charge of assault has the same effect as
a plea of guilty, although technically it
is not an admission of the crime. In eff
feet it is an announcement that no de-
Tense would be offered.
Mr. Harding, KerrS counsel, claimed
that Kerr had not hired the hack on the
night of the murder for the use to which
it was put but for an entirely different
mission. He said that during the occur
rences on the Rock Road Kerr was sick
and took no part in the assault on the
girl.
Judge Dixon referred to the trial of Nc
Alister, Death and Campbell, and said
that if he had been on the jury that tried
them he would have found a verdict of
murder in the first degree.
Judge Dixon said the prosecutor had no
evidence connecting Kerr with the drug
ging of Jennie Bosschieter, and conse-
Guently the charge of murder was elimi-
mated. Ihe Judge SAD that@ Scultnorpe,
the hackman, was guilty with the others,
but that he had come forward and told a
true story Of the occurrences of the night
and the prosecutor had very properly de-
cided not to prosecute him.
Prosecutor Emily announced to-day that
he would have McAHster, Kerr, Campbell
and Death arratgned i'll court tomorrow
and would move that sentence be pro-
nounced t5once.
1t is the general opinion here that all
the prisoners except Kerr viii receive the
extreme penalty. which is thirty years,
imprisonment at hard labor. It is also
believed that Kerr will be sentenced to
the full penalty of the law for the barge
on which he pleaded non vulta, which is
fifteen years imprisonment at hard labor.

BALTIMORE, MD, Jan. ga special

engineer on No. 81, burned, cut and
bruised.
TIE scene was indeseribable. All the
five men pinned under the wreck were
dead and only one of the bodies had been
found. He was T. G. Bailey. whose body
was crushed SO as 10 be unrecosnizabIe,
and could only be identified by his watch,
which stopped at 1:G5 P NJ.
The accident occurred in a cut on a
curve on heavy down grade, and at the
end OF a bridge. Thst anyone was saved
at all is almost a miracle.
The third section of No. 81 was or the
siding at Petroleum with orders to wait
there ti: No. 9S passed east. Engineer
Davidson. who escaped win slight in
juries, was the engineer on No. 81, and
went to sleep on the siding.
When the first section went by he
thought it was the second section, and
started out on to the main track. His
fireman and forward brakeman must also
have been asleep, for they allowed him
to take the train out. The conductor Of
first IS, after it had passed, saw Davidson
pulling out and tried to wrye him to
stop, but failed. The conductor of the
fourth 81, seeing the third section pull
out ran forward after it as fast as pos
sible, his engineer whstled down brakes,
and the conductor of the wrecked train
nun over the tops of the cars TIL he
reached the next CAR to the last one
wrecked IN mis- attempt to stop the en-
sineer, but none of them attracted his
attention in time. Conductor Lansmart
managed to jump in time TO save him

RALEIGH. N c. Jan 2S.-Probably the
earliest session ever held by a North Car
olina General Assembly was that of the
House of Representatives this morning
from 7:30 until $50 o'clock. The usual
hour for Monday morning sessions is 80
or noon. and the unusual hour to-day was
the result of motion intended by Mr..
Rountree of New Hanover, as joke,
burlesqueing MIR. Graham's continued in
sistance for early (9:3Q sessions.
EARLY MEETING HOUR.
Mr.. Rountree made the motioHAsaturday
to adjourn to 7:3O A. NJ. to-day, and be-
fore the members generally. realized what
was being done the recess was taken in
accordance with Mr.. Rountree's motion.
Neither he Graham or Gattis (seconder
of RountreetS motion) were in their seats
this morning, and a resolution by Zachary
was adopted providing that in future no
motion by either of them (Rountree Cat
It's or Ciraham) shall be considered until
it is seconded by the LATEST man in the
House. Luckily this parsonage is not des-
ignated.
There were only about forty-five MEM
bers in their seats this morning. But no
question of quorum was raised, and thirty
odd bills, all of a local character, We're
passed on their second and third readings
TAX COMPROMISE.
The long and hard-fought suit between
the North Carolina Corporation Commits
sion and the leading railroad companies
doing business in the State has been COM
promised, and the railroads will pay into
the State treasury 100000 annually IN
creased taxes The fight by the railroad
companies was on the ground that the
Corporation Commissioner had assessed
railroad property at full value, while
property generally throughout the State
was assessed at not more than tWo-thlrds
value.

to-day to empower the Corporation Com
