PERJURY TRIAL TODAY
Battles Case Against Bell
Arouses Interest.
Affidavit Takes Case From Justice Marcom and
it is Now in Magistrate Yearby's
Court.

The theatre of action in the case of
Police officer r. c. Bell, charged with
perjury by Mr.. Ed. S. Battle, of Will
mington, changed rapidly yesterday.
The hearing was set for II o'clock be-
fore Justice Maroon, but on the affi-
davit of the defendant, the case was
removed and was heard by Magistrate
Yearly.
The interest in the case attracted such
a crowd that Magistrate Yearly adj
journed it to the county courthouse.
Here, seated in the judges chair, minus
coat and in negligee shirt, the justice
heard the plea of lawyers, some of whom
were in the some summer comfort
style as the magistrate.
The attorneys were present in force.
For the prosecution there We're MessrS.
r. l.. Gray and W. n Jones. Those fol
the defense We're Messrs. j. c.. L. Har-
ris and Walter l.. Watson, the latter
appearing in his capacity of city atttor-
ney.
The case opened with a motion from
Attorney Harris to postpone the hear
ing, as the attorneys for the defense had
learned since entering the courthouse
that material witnesses could be Sc
cured for the defense, and that as they
had had no opportunity to secure the
presence of those witnesses, that the
case be postponed. This was opposed
vigorously by Attorney Ora, who did
not think the reasons advanced by Mr..
Harris were relevant, and who insisted
that as two of the witnesses for the
prosecution, Messrs r. l.. Prempert and
Tom Heartt would be greatly incon-
venienced by the delay that the trial be
had at once. That as Mr.. Harris had
neither stated who his absent witnesses
were, or what he expected TO prove by
them. he did not come within the sta
tute providing for postponement.
Mr.. Harris again urged a postpone
ment and denied that there was any
such statute as cited by Mr.. Gray, but
acknowledged that he did not know the
name of his witnesses who were to
prove that Officer Bells charges against
Mr. Battle We're true. AT this there was
laughter among the spectators, and Al
/, torney Harris said: 'Ah, you may set
and laugh at this. 1t is funny to YOU,
but not to this man here (pointing to
Mr.. BelD whose reputation and career
as an officer are at stake. He does rot
laugh" Immediately after that Mr..
Harris ceased speaking
Magistrate Yearly said to his court
officer: Sheriff, If there is any more
laughter arrest the offender and bring
him before me-" "It shall be done was
the quick reply.
Mr. w. n. Jones argued against a con-
tnuance at some length, showing why
it should not be granted. Following him
Messrs. Gray and Harris again argued.
Finally Justice Yearly agreed to
postponement and the trial was set for
9oclock this morning. q

SCHLEY WILL REPLY
His Letter Will Probably
Reach Hackett To-Day.
The Contents Are Not TO be Made Public a,
Present. Hackett and Schley's
Counsel eUnfer.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, August 22.-Acting Secre-
tary Of the Navy Hackett at II o'clock
this forenoon, sent messenger to Admi-
raj Schley's counsel requesting their pres
ence at the Navy Department. In his
message Mr.. Hackett stated that he de-
sired to see the lawyers on an important
matter.
AT the conclusion of their conference
with Acting Secretary Hackett Messrs.
Wilson and Raynor stated that their talk
had nothing to do with the membership
of the court of inquiry, but was on a
technical question which was of interest
only to themselves. They will now forward
their reply to Mr.. Hackett's letter of yes
terday.
Admiral Schley has framed reply to
Mr.. Hackett's communication of yesterday
expressing the departments unwilling
ness to further question Admiral Howl
sons qualifications as a member of the
court of inquiry.
1t was announced by Admiral Schley'
counsel that the Admiral's letter would
not be made public for the present The
Admiral himself prepared the reply to-

WITNESSES FROM CUBA.
Washington, August 22.-Mr Tracewell
the Comptroller of the Treasury, has de-
cided that the expenses of civilian re-
siding in Cuba, called upon to testify
before naval court of inquiry called in
Washington, can be paid in pursuance OF
the provisions of Article 1860, paragraph
2, u. S. Navy Regulations. 1t is as
sumed that the request of the Secretary
of the Navy for a decision on this qucs-
tion grows out of the necessity for the
presence of residents of Cuba at the pend
ing Schley inquiry.
