Methodist church, he's "hoodooed'' the
trustees of Trinity, he's .'hoodooed. the
conference, he's "hoodooed' WoffQrd
College and that's the reason.
Then he told the reason he assigned
for Gattis being transferred from Warren
to Granville .'He was pregnant with
a law suit :" he said, when he got Bish-
op Fitzgerald TO transfer him. He prob
baly selected Granville county because
of its p.ssofr DIX '"(Tfe
it opposed the trusts. When he reached
Hester's out here in the county the peo-
pie gave him a welcome, but they did
not know he was pregnant with a law
suit. He had the law and the gospel,
but it was nine points law ana one point
gospel.
Here Judge Winston left law and took
up Uncle Remus, to show how Granville
county had been used as a riding
Horse in This Suit" The story of Br'er
Fox as the horse and Br'er Rabbit as the
rider was greatly enjoyed and it is GER
tain that the jury regard Judge Winston
as a capital exponent of the humor of
Uncle Remus and knows we'll how to ap-
ply it to his case.
He paid great tribute to the men of
Granville and told of his love for the
county and how its independent men
could not be led.
Why Mr. Gattis selected the three men
he did to sue is a question Ii is like
unto the saying of There's 10 account
ing for taste as the cid woman said when
she kissed the cow
In telling of Mr.. Gattis going to Gran
Vile county Judge Winston grew sarcac-
tic, and spoke of his suit for small
sum, only a hundred thousand dollars"
and that he ought to have told the Pre-
siding Elder, or the people of his cir
cult that he needed year of the prac-
tice law.
Here he spoke of now talking about
things as men wanted, in politics. and
in religion, and that now he could talk
of Washington Duke giving his money to
Trinity witohut thinking anything of what
any one else thinks about it.
When Judge Winston said that Main
Street church was one with 2 low steepie
and the people were humble folks, and
that Trinity church was the largest, he
got after Mr. A.. A. Hicks and told him
to go and see, to which Mr.. Hicks laugh
/ ingly said mo-. thank you, excuse me-
To this Judge Winston said he would
excuse him on other things he wanted,
and then coming down to the question Of
damages, he said he wanted to know what
was going to be done with the hundred
thousand dollars, was it going to be
scattered to Gattis creditors, to ray up
the bankruptcy business, or what was
going to be done with it.
Maj. Guthrie is wrong when he says
Manhood is not running this country II
u.s. and its not money thai is doing 1t.
What will Kitchen at ,RoXboro and Gov
ernor Aycock at Raleigh who has TO bor-
row money to go on campaign, and on
judges have not got money. It's an in
suit when it is said that money runs
them.
Speaking of absent witnesses Judge
Winston said no good man required DIT.
Kilgo on the stand that DR.. Kilgo under
stood the Supreme Court to say that his
speech was privileged and that nothing
was left but the motive of its publica-
tion and there was something that was
not tangible, not to be got at. hence he
did not find it necessary to go on he

ceedings, we published the pamphlet.
You can read it yourself, each of you
can have copy
At this hour one o'clock, the court ad-
journed for dinner. Judge Winston says
an hour this afternoon is ell he wants.
The judges charge will last probably an
hour and half and it is safe to say that
the jury will have the case by six O'Clock
