SIDE OF DEFENSE
Persons Charged With Murder of
Mime Begin Offering
Testimony.
POLIOEMANsBvIDENOE RULED OUT
Chief Brought Here From st. Charles
to Show Up Yer Bieste's
Reputation.

The defense in the Mime murder
began the presentation of its case
this morning, but up to noon little
evidence had been taken having any
considerable bearing on the case.
The witness whose testimony would
have been of the most Importance
was ID. L. Greiner. chief of police of
St. Charles, ILL.,. where Yer Bieste
formerly lived. The defense attempt
ed To show by him that the chief
witness for the state bore n doubtful
reputation in his native town. but the
court ruled out his evidence.
Three other witnesses told of incl
dents of minor Importance on the
night of the fight. The defense has
subpOenaed in the neighborhood of 50
witnesses, some of whom are from
Iowa. and the indications are that
they will consume more time than
the state has taken.
State Closes Case.
The testimony for the state was all
in before court adjourned yesterday
afternoon. Edmund Yer Bieste was
the last witness. He was called for
cross-eNaminction when court rcsum-
eel it's session in the afternoon and
was subjected to a brisk fire of cross
questioning at the hands of G. j.
Searle. He proved one of the strong
est witnesses ever ON the stand in
this county. and stuck TO his original
story with a consistency that moth
ing could shake. He admitted that
he had been arrested for engaging
in two fights ut St. Charles. Ills. but
was not permitted to go into details.
After his testimony had been com
pleted the attorneys for the defense
made three motions; one to exclude
the picket with which it is alleged
the fatal blow was struck; another
to compel States Attorney Weld TO
specify which of the 20 indictments
he intended proceeding under, and
the third for the court 10 instruct
the jury to find each of the defend
ants not guilty. All were overruled.

A BIRD win Four Feet.

This little creature, still to be found
in South America. is a relic'of bygone
ages. 1t is known as the crested hoatzin,
and the adult bird is about as big as a
peacock.
The young birds, when Matched, have
four legs, the front pair being reptilian
in character, and have strong claws. AS
they grow older these claws fall off,
the legs become fattened, feathers
grow on them, and they develop into
wings.
These nestlings are the nearest ap-
proach to reptile that can be found
among birds. and they can climb and
dive and swim with great facility.

contention over Carload of Hay

A carload of hay is to be the bone
of contention in a case in Justice
w. F. Schroeder's court next Tues
day. 1t has been attached by Con-
stable Goldman at the instance OF
Louis Marcks for the collection OF
rebate on a former load. Some time
ago the plaintiff bought load OF
hav from William Martin. of Newton,
Iowa. and upon examining IT he
found that much of it was spoiled.
He sent in n claim for 800. The firm
shipped him another car of hay. but
sent it C. o. d., so that he could not
oct possession of it without paying
for it. The attachment followed,
and il now remains for Marcl1s to
make good his claim.

from a number of standpoints
Charles s. Loclnane. of Kansas: :. G.
Sparks, of West Virginia; j. s.
Shearer, of Oklahoma; and George II.
Russell, of Delaware, were heard on
the subject.
AS considerable time was left the
question suggested during the discus
sion of How to Organize the Work
in Large Cities was considered.
Head Consul Northcott, in opening
the subject, declared that much de-
pended upon the fitness of the man
to take up work in large cities. When
the right man was found. he said, it
remained for him to work and think.
evolving plans of his own to meet the
conditions before him.
Then he called upon in turn w. III.

lott. of Seattle, Wash; DIR. s. {. A.

LAW BASED ON THE BIBLE.
PRESIDENT HILLS ADDRESS TO
THE LAWYERS.

He Discusses "The Historical Land
with the Ten Commandments.
The Committee on Education In
Its Report, VIII object TO Admis-
sion of Law School Graduates Sim
ply on DipIOma-A Good Attend
nnce of the Bar at Warm Springs.
Warm Springs, Ca. July s.-The ninth
annual convention of the Georgia Bar
Association was called to order this morn
ing at 10 o'clock by President Warner
Hill. The attendance is about 125 and
the session will last through Friday even
ing. The address of President Hill was
the feature of to-day's session. His sub
sect was THE Historical Landmarks of
the Law" and he reviewed the entire
history of law and lawyers from the CIV
ing of the Ten Commandments by Moses
to the present day. He said that all law
was based upon the Bible and that all
lawyers, to uphold their profession, should
be honorable, upright men.
The address was full of interest, and
the subject was well handled. Little
business was accomplished at the session
to-day, because of the fact that many
mem bers composing committees were not
present They are expected, however in
the morning.
The report of the executive committee,
Burton Smith of Atlanta, chairman,
showed the organization in a prosperous
condition and many new names have been
added to the membership since the last
annual convention.
Treasurer Harrison of Atlanta, reported
that the finances of the convention were
in splendid condition. the association not
owing anything, with money to its credit.
One of the probable features OF the
convention will be the report by the COM
mittee on education. Judge Spencer n.
Atkinson of Atlanta Is chairman This
report will ask that the admission of
law school graduates simply upon the
presentation of their diplomas be stopped
II will declare that there is but one door
TO the practice of law and that door must
be through the approved examination of
applicants by a committee appointed and
presided over by a judge of the Superior
Court. The report says Your committee
desires to know whether or not abe admis-
sion of lawyers is to be placed again in
the hands of the court or is to be given
over to the discretion of Universities"
Tonight an address was delivered by
Maj J. c. c. Black of Augusta, and a
paper was read by Attorney Reuben Ar
mold, Jr., of Atlanta. Friday afternoon
an old-fashioned Georgia barbecue will be
given the lawyers by Mr.. G. l.. Davis of
Warm Springs. There is little If any
doubt but that Hon c. e. Battle, of Co
lumbus, now first vice president of the
association, will be elected president The
election of officers and the selection oil
the next place of meeting will be decided
upon Friday

FRANK HENDLEY A SUICIDE.
Cut His Throat and Jumped Into the
OcmuIGec.

Ocmulgee.
Hawkinsville, Ga. July 3.-Mr. Frank
Hendley. brother to Capt. Arthur Hend-
ley of the steamer Ida. killed himself
here yesterday by cutting his throat
river. He had been in bad health for
some time and has been on the boat with
his brother lately, but was at a board
ing house here yesterday in bed. In the
afternoon ne called to the lady of the
house and asked her to call in doctor
to see him. She went across the street
to a neighbours house and telephone ed
for DR.. George. who lives near by. She
and the physician got back to the house
about the same time. and she told the
doctor where TO find Mr.. Hendleys room.
When the doctor went into the room no
one was to be found.
Something wrong was suspected at
once, and search was made After some
time his clothes and an empty razor
case were found near the bank of the
Ocmulgee river, just below the cotton
factory. Tracks to the river edge were
seem After searching for some time
the body was found about two hundred
yards below where he jumped into the
river, with the throat cut from ear to
ear.
From the signs it is supposed that he
walked up to the river and cut his
throat as he jumped in. The razor has
not been found. No note nor explana-
ton for the rash deed was left by him.
and ii is supposed that he grew despond-
ent or was temporarily insane. He was
not very well known here, but his
brother. Capt. Hendley. has many friends
here who sympathze with him.
