entered the court room smiling on the
last day of the prosecutions efforts
against her. On the a DOR by the wit

DR.. E. NJ. Shaeffer, the expert micro

wrapper for blood stains and who said
that he had found none, also shocked
the defense by asserting positively that
the wrapper had not been washed, and
that ordinary washing could not have

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Toe convention was only 10 session
one hour yesterday and did 90 business
of Importance, but 1t developed symp'
tons Of g coming storm which will he
one OF the hardest iD the experience Of
convention debate.
The report OF the committee on the
judiciary was called up In committee Of
the whole, aud Chairman Hunton made
a concise opening statement In explsna'
tionofthe report.
He drew attention to the changes
made, and argued that the saving to The
people of the State by having euch an
improved system as was proposed
would hs four times greater than the
saving Of dollars and cents In the item
OF salaries paid the judges.
Judge Robertson asked that section
l be passed by temporarily, as be de-
sired to oppose 1t and was not feeling
we'll enough to do 30. This WAS agreed
to, and, on motion of Mr.. Cameron,
section 2 was passed by for the same
reason, Judge Robertson having indi-
Gated his purpose to fight 1t.
Chairman Hunton stated that, mas
much ss these sections had relation to
the entire new court system, he did moi
think the matter could be proceeded
with intelligently until the two first
sections had been disposed OF. He,
therefore, moved that the committee
rise, which it did at 1:l5 o'clock.
The committee on convention ex.
penditures was presented yesterday
evening with q bill of nearly 81, 600 for
extra pay during the recent recess OF
the convention, and the committee was
petitioned to recommend 1t to the con.
vention.
The movement acted as boomerang,
aud came near costing the petitioners
their heads.
When the convention took q recess
Of three weeks prior to the general
election 1t was without pay, and though
the employees also went home and some
of them hold dual positions, they ask
for pay during this time. Mr.. Barbour
moved that, with the exception OF two
pages and two committee clerks, they
all be discharged. The motion was
passed by until next Friday, and they
are free from decspitation for one week,
at least.
One OF the members declared that
some of the clerks were lobbying
against the convention meeting 10
separate place from the legislature, go
that those now holding two positions
might then hold three, while ct the
same time they we're doing nothing to
earn the pay they are already receiving.
The petition stirred up a hornets
nest, and it may result In an entire re.
organization OF the convention force OF
employees.
The matter OF where the session of
the convention shall be held after the
legislature meets remains unsettled.
Messrs. Thorn, Ayers, and Boaz, con-
stituting the special committee appoint.
ed 10 look into the advisability OF secur.
ing smother hall for the convention TO
meet 10, has not yet been able to make
q selection. The council chamber lie
too snail, the hall OF the chamber of
commerce Is not available, and the
places under consideration are Y. NJ.
@. A. ball, the Masonic Temple, and
the Smithdeal Hall. The temple seems
oest adapted to the uses of the conven-
ton, bat it has not been decided upon.
