Hundred and Fifty Miners Out,
(By the Associated Pross.)

Roanoke, Va. Nov. 22.-There is a
strike at the Norton Coal Company and
the Wise Coal Company coiliery at Nor
ton, in Wise county. None OF the other
mines in that section has been affected so
far.
The whole force of $50 men employed
by the Norton Coal Company are out, and
seventyfve, the entire force of Wise
Coal Company, have also quit work. The
miners have no grievance except that the
companies will not recognize the union. 1t
is alleged that several men were recently
discharged because they belonged to the
United Mine Workers. A committee Of
miners waited on the companies for the
purpose of having the men r-instated
but were turned down. They then re-
solved to strike and the mines were tied
UP yesterday. The strikers are determined
and say the prospects are bright for win
ming.

Gastonia, N. c., Nov 22.-The third
days session of the conference was called
to order at nine this morning by Bishop
Hargrove, who requested DR.. Weaver to
lead the devotional exercises.
A motion was made looking to the cleo
tion of delegates to the general confer
ence by special order, but failed.
Rev. Dr. Daniel Atkins read the report
of Brevard Epworth School, which was fol-
lowed by earnest speeches from Fitz Tay-
financial agent.
Rev. j. B. Hurley of the Methodist Or
phanage, Raleigh, was introduced and
urged the conference to unite with the
other conference in establishing an in
stitution for orphans which would be a
credit to Carolina Methodism. Rev L. w.
Crawford, editor of the North Carolina
Christian Advocate, stated to the confer
ence that he had disposed of his entire
interest in the paper to d. B. Coltrane,
Esq, of Concord, with the understanding
that it should be sold to the conference
at the same price paid, when desired. DR..
Crawford stated that he had declined to
tor before he sold his stock and would
in no sense be a candidate for re-elee-
tion as editor.
Under call of question enc nine were

mitting Rev. Edward H. Green, late a
priest of the Episcopal church, caused a

OF the garment apparently affected the
prisoner more than any preceding incl
dent in the course of the trial. On cross

stand up, and Lawyer Douglass asked

did not notice any finer prints on the

discovered what he believed to be fin
er prints on the window sill. The de-
tached piece Of the window sill was iden-
titled by the witness, who said the blood
stains were more distinct on the morn
in of May 18th than now.
Officer Brady said in reply to other
questions by Mr. Doulass that the loose
pistol cartridges found on the table were
filled and were of calibre 32, the same
calfbre as those found in the revolver.
In that weapon there were three loaded
and three empty shells. He said the
bed as shown in the photograph of
Ayres' room was much more disordered
than when he first went to the roona,
but he did not know who had disturbed
it before the photograph was made. Mr.
Douglass brought out the fact that the
tops button-hole of Ayres' undershirt
was torn out.
Policeman Fulton Wolfe gave testi-
mony covering much of the same
ground as that of the preceding witness.
Police Benjamin f. Williams, an
early visitor TO the scene of the tragedy
corroborated the statements of his
brother officers. He said Ayres' shoes
and socks were under the bed. He also
said that the blood marks on the pistol
indicated that it had been grasped
around the chambers and barrel by a
bloody hand.

field later for the purpose of eliciting in
formation from him upon this and other
points in Mrs. Bonine's behalf.
Mrs. eBonine's party in the court room
was increased today by the addition of
her brother, Grant Henry, who lives at
ST. Joseph, Mo. Only once during the
day did Mrs. Bonine display emotion,
and that was when the bloody under
shirt, which had been worn by Ayres on
the mint ofg the killing, was ideAtified
by Officer Brady.
Policeman Walter S. Brady was the
first witness called. He was on duty
near the Kenmore Hotel on the morning
that Ayres' body was discovered, and he
was summoned to the hotel at about s 20
o'clock by the proprietor, w. w. War
field, who tod him that he thought he
had a suicide up stairs. The witness
was then escorted to Ayres' room in
company with three or four other per-
sons. Finding the door fastened he had,
under Mr.. Warfield's instructions. fore
ed it open Upon subsequent investiga-
tion he had found that the door was
bolted and not locked.
The body of the dead man, he said,
was lying on the floor near the window,
in a bent position and with the arms
drawn up in front of the face. The head
lay across one of the rounds of rock
ing-chair, and the only clothing on the
body was light undershirt
The shirt was open at the neck and
the upper portion of it was covered
with blood. There was some blood on
the left sleeve of the garment. The
hands and feet were also bloody, the lat
ter looking as if it had stepped in the
bloow which was on the floor in consid-
cradle quantity.
Three wounds were found upon the
body, one being in the breast, another in
the arm and the third in the thigh. The
bed looked, he said, as if some one had
lain in it and had gotten up, throwing
the cover back as he did So There was
no other disorder about it and there was
only one indentiCn in the pillow. Ayres'
coat, vest and trousers had been care
fully laid over the back of a chair.
He sal dthat a pistol and a small sin
gle -barreled shotgun lay on a trunk in
the room and that thee barrel and the
chambers of the pistol were covered
with blood. The pistol was exhibited to
Mr.. Brady and identified by him. He
handled it freely as he described the con-
dition of the weapon.
Mrs. Bonine rearded the witness and
