General Reyes. last night, received
cablegram from Marrocuin, saying that
he intended to resign and asking Gen

cred no evidence of a struggle in Ayres'
room when he entered it. He also re-
| piled in the negative as Officers Brady
and Wolfe had done when asked if he
had discovered any hair pins on the
| foor.
On cross examination. he said he had
noticed the torn condition of the upper
| button-hole of Ayres' shirt and he added
that the corresponding button was hang
ing by thread. There also were powder
marks about the wounds on Ayres body,
indicating that he was shot at close
range
The next witness was w. w. WarfieId,
who was the proprietor of the Kenmore
Hotel when the homicide occurred there
| The witness said Ayres had told him
that the lock of the door to his room
was out of order, and that the door could
not be fastened with it,
| Mr.. Fulton, on ross-examination, ask
ed the witness if Mrs. Bonine had made
arrangements to leave the Kenmore
| prior TO the tragedy. Mr.. Gould object

tion the witness replied that she had
made such arrangements. Mr.. Gould
| then asked to have the reply stricken
from the record as irrelevant Mr. Full
J ton contended strongly for the admissi-
bility of the question, saying that the
theory OF the Government concerning the
killing of Ayres made it decidedly rele-
want to show that Mrs. Bonine had pre-
pared TO leave the house before Ayres
had made his own plans to go away. If
this could be established it would go
far toward relieving Mrs. Bonine of the
charge that. her relations with Ayres
were such as to cause her to take ex-
tremc STEPS to prevent his going away.
The cour- decided that the question
would be more relevant on direct ex-
animation as the point had not been
touched upon by Mr.. Gould.
Tho last witness Of the day was j.
Frank Drew, special policeman who
lived in The Kenmore Hotel. who ac-
companied officer Brady to Ayres' room.

The Introductory Remarks by
Judge Clark a Mas
terIy Effort.
GEN. CARR SPEAKS MOST El0QUENTLY
The Responses by Messrs Broughton
and Andrews and the Charming Vo-
cal and instrumental Music Render
ed Crowned q Notable Event.

An overflow audience that found no way
OF even standing in Metropolitan Hall
last night testified to the great interest
that the people of Raleigh showed in the
exercises last night when General Julian
S. Carr presented the handsome souvenir
donation box to Raleigh, in which the gift
of the people for the Sir Walter Raleigh
statue are to be be placed.
There were seated on the stage in addi-
tion to the speakers of the evening many
prominent men, while in the boxes the
ladies who participated in the exercises
occupied the boxes.
After music by the A. and M. Cadet
Band and choral by young ladies from
st. Mary's, Prof. H. j. Stockard read an
original poem entitled "Sir Walter Raj
eigh,' which was most excellent. This
was followed by vocal solo by Miss
Minnie Fitch Tucker.
Following this Judge Walter Clark spoke
as follows:
JUDGE CLARKsS ADDRESS.
Ladies and Gentlemen: God in his
= wisdom and providence prepared this
NWestern continent and hid it for thous-
andsYss years behind the waves of the
broad Atlantic until in the fullness Of
time it was laid bare that here the last,
best Government should be founded fer
man. That here there might be govern
ment based upon the consent of the gov
erned; that here there might be equal
opportunity for all and a career might be
open to all without distinction Of birth.
Hither the oppressed and down -trodden
of Europe have focked from the injustice
and the expressions of the old world to
rear the temple of liberty in a new land.
The first Englishman who made an at
tempt to colonize this land for men
speaking our tongue and who sought to
establish a free government on these
shores deserves the honor our ancestors
paid him in giving his name to this fair
Capital of the republic of North Carolina,
and the honor which we now propose to
render him in erecting his bronze statue
in our most conspicuous public square.
1t is proper to say few words as to his
career. Born of gentle family in the
beautiful county of Devon, on the north
ern shore of the English channel, at II
years of age he was already winning fame
under the banners of Prince of Conde and
Admiral Coligny. fighting for liberty Of
conscience and the Protestant religion in
France. Three years later when that
cause was thought to be won he was in
Paris, and barely escaped death in the

BEWARE OF HE STRAP.

A Possible Source OF Infection 60
Those who Ride In street Cars.
The connection between the microbe
and the street car strap has frequently
been discussed and at least one recent
instance has proved somewhat distress
lngly that danger is likely to lurk in the
piece of leather which helps to support
so many women during the rush hours
of the day. 1t was to protect a fresh
pair of white gloves that q New York
woman, compelled to stand, held her
handkerchief inside the strap while go
ing TO the theater. On her way home
she was again compelled to stand. and
once more the handkerchief came be-
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether it was after that or during
the evening at the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker-
chief to her face is a detail that she
does not recall, but two days afterward
a pain on her lip became so intolerable
that she was compelled to see doctor,
who found her suffering from incipient
blood poisoning. which 1t was already
too late for him to prevent. The most
that he could do was to watch her care
fully through long attack Of Illness,
which at one time threatened to end
fatally.
He attributed this to some poisonous
substance which had passed TO her
handkerchief from the strap. and that
was his diagnosis the moment he heard
the story of the ride on the cable car
She fortunately recovered, and her ply
sician thinks that the present disfgure-
ment to her face which resulted from
the necessity Of an operation will not

cradle experience in surgery. of the
