two inches from his body, and he hurried away MT. Ginzler could not tell who fired either of the shots or how many shots were fired. He said he ran to wards the Peerless saloon, and when he found himself safe he began inquir- ing what the trouble was. The witness said the shots were fired very rapidly.
 Saw cash's Pistol First.
 J. F. Cannon. who works for the Bir- mingham Water Works Company, was an eye witness to the shooting. He said his attention was attracted by young Dr. Dozier striking MT. Cash. After the first lick was struck the old gentleman raised his stick and Cash jumped Into the street. Mir. Cannon said the first pistol he saw was in Mir Cash's hand, but he could not tell who fired first.
 On cross examination by MT. Bowman witness said he couldn't tell if Byron Dozier had pistol when Cash drew his, as the young doctors back was to him. Witness then described the fight after the shooting, and said the two Doziers had Cash down when arrested.
 Young Lady Witness.
 
 Miss Stella Jameson, an operator at the Bell Telephone Exchange an eye wit ness, said on last Friday morning she saw Dr. Byron Dozier slap gentleman at the Florence Hotel corner. She saw pr. o. T. Dozier raise his cane, and then the other gentleman began firing at Dr. Byron Doz- fer. In her opinion there were three pis- tol shots fired before Dr. Byron Dozier drew his pistol.
 Miss Jameson said on cross examine tion that she was near the ladies entrance to the Florence Hotel when the two Dog iers passed the corner.
 She said she saw Dr. o. T. Dozier raise his cane after three shots had been fired. Miss Jameson said she then ran to the Bell Telephone Exchange office. She never did see but one pist ol. The witness said that Dr. Byron Dozier was her cousin.
 Dr. J. l.. Sandifur, a dentist another witness to the shooting affair said he was in his office reading and heard two shots fired. When he looked out MT. Cash was shooting, using both hands to hold the pistol. Byran Dozier was re- turning the shots. After the shooting Dr. sandifur said Dr. Byron Dozier and

Cash were scuffling and the old doctor was trying to strike Cash with cane. He could not tell who shot first or who passed the first lick
 pr. o. T. DozIer on Stand.
 Dr. 0. T. Dozler testified in his own behalf, and told of hls acquaintanee with Cash prior to the shooting. He said MT. Cash and Nicholas Dozier had trouble over the use of the red cross as a trade mark for certain kinds of medicine. Dr. Dozier told of letter received by his son Bryan concerning the label matter. His son Is secretary of the Dixie Drug Company.
 Describing the shooting affair, Dr. Do- sier said he and Byron had started to the postofice. Just as we reached the cigar stand' he testified Byron said Look out or something like that, and I saw MT. Cash coming. Cash and Byron met and looked each other in the face, and Byron remarked; Well, got your in- sulting letter Then I saw Mir Cash put his hand to his pocket and Byron showed him Into the street, and Cash shot, using both hands on the pistol. then followed them and tried to knock Cashs hand to one side or knock him down to prevent him from shooting my son. Then Byron drew his pistol and fred 1 think Cash fired about three times before Byron got his pistol out. When several shots had been fired Cash seemed to turn the pistol on me, and I struck him over the head and I think slightly stunned him. Cash and Byron then cllnched and had a dog fall and struck Cash several times more."
 The doctor said he was not expecting any trouble and no preparations had been made.
 The Letter.
 Dr. Dozier was then shown the letter and asked If 1t was the one which caused the trouble. He identified the letter which read as follows
 Dixie Drug Go.

 It is feared that MT. Vaughan has pneumonia.
 He has been In excellent health all the year, and as late as Sunday he told a friend that he was feeling remarkably well. On Monday and Tuesday he attend ed to his official duties in the federal building, but Tuesday evening he did not feel strong.
 MT. Vaughan was so unwel1 yesterday morning that he was unable to visit his office. His physician. Dr. Due, was sum- moned and later 1t was announced that MT.

 pr. Byron Dozier.
 pr. Byron Dozier was called next and said he Is secretary of the Dixie Drug Company. He said he knows J. H. Cash well, and that they had recently passed each other and spoken. Dr. Dozier says when they met Friday morning they stop ped face to face and Cash's hand was on his right-hand pocket and witness said, T received your insulting letter. MT. Cash then drew his pistol and struck him." continued the witness. He then fired at me, struck him with my fist and he fired again. I then drew my weapon and fired think about three times. My pistol then began snapping and could not fire It. I then went back towards the curbing and cooked the hammer of the pistol with my hand. MT. Cash at that time started towards my father snapping his pistol. I then rushed towards them and struck Cash in the face with my re- volver. We then clinched and I tried to strike him in the face with the butt end of my pistol. Father then struck him with his walking cane and we fell to the ground and the policeman came up and arrested us."
 Dr. Dozier said he and Cash had had no previous difficulty.
 On cross-examination the witness sald the letter together with what a man named Broyles told him had angered him. He said after receiving the letter and prior to the shooting he passed Cash twice and spoke to him. After receiving the message from Broyles he felt very unkindly towards Cash. When they m ct Friday morning pr. Dozier says Cash looked towards his right side as if con scious of having a weapon.
 J. R. Cook. the next witness, testified as to pr. Byron Dozier's pistol. He said he examined the weapon and three of the cartridges had been fired and two of them snapped. MT. Cook said Cash had thrown his pistol away. On cross-examination MT. Cook in describing the fight said the Doziers had followed Cash into the mid dle of the street before the firing began. He said the first two shots were fired al most simultaneously.
 John Conner, the only other witness for the defense was called but could not he found. He Is said to live at Blossburg and will be sent for today Court then adjourned until 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, when Conner will be examined and the arguments heard.

Defense Presents It's Side of ths Case and Hearing
 VIII End Tonight
YOUNG WOMAN IS 4 WITNESS
sho Says Cash Shot at Dr. Byron Dozier Flrst-Roth the Doziers Describe the Shooting and
 Explain Previous Feeling.

The preliminary hearing of the Dozier- Cash cases growing out of the sensational shooting affair of last Friday. was re- stunned in the Inferior Criminal Court yes- terday afternoon, and with the excep- ton of one witness, the defense concluded its testimony.
 The main fact sought to be established was that Cash fired the first shot and was in the act of drawing his revolver when Dr. Byron Dozler struck him. The only witnesses who swore positively to the fact were the two Drs. Dozier Miss Jam eson an operator at the Bell Telephone ing, testified that MT. Cash shot two or three times before Dr. Byron Dozier be- gan firing. Afterwards she said she could not swear positively that Dr. Dozier had fired at all, as he had his back to her. and she could not see his pistol. Miss Jameson Is a cousin of Dr. Byron Dozier.
 With but one more witness to exam- inc, the defense will probably end to night.
 The First Witness.
 Aaron Ginzler, an employe of Love man, Jaros & Co.,, testified that he was standing near the entrance of the Flor ence Hotel when the shooting began Fri day morning. He said he heard a noise which sounded like shot, and in a mos ment bullet crashed through the glass

SATURDAY, MARCH Q. 1901,
NOT HEROES BUT TRAITORS.

If Senators Knox and Ellison, and Rep
resentatives Clark, Finn, Pilling, Chand-
Ter and Hodgson came home from Dover
yesterday under the idea that they are
heroes, we beg leave to suggest that they
are mistaken. A few narrow minded,
personally selfish and politically bigotted
people who imagine that the world was
made and peopled for their special and
individual beneft-the world for play
ground and the people for servants may,
and doubtless will, worship at their
shrines and attempt to make heroes out
Of them. The attempt will be miser-
able failure. The worshipped and the
worshippers will be alike despised by
the masses Of the people. To the Repub-
lcans of this State, these returned Sen
ators and Rcpres are now and
always will be traitors. The Democrats
into whose hands they have played, will
despise them for their treason to the
party they professed to represent, as
Benedict Arnold was despised by the
British to whom he tried to betray the
patriotic American army. In this State
the Republicans have been fighting for
nearly fifty years to lrut into their State
government the ideas and principles of
the American poity; to put the State
into harmonious relations with the Union
of States and get whatever government.
tai benefits are to be derived from be
ing right and just. They have just be
gun to win in that fight. Have won tht
State, and believed that they We're ready
and able to put the State into harmon
ious political relations with the grea
LOYAL States, and thus wipe all the Stain
from the record of the Diamond State
when these trusted and honored repre-
Sentatives Of the Republican party be
tray it and prevent the doing of what ha
been so long the desire of the party
what had been so long worked fol
prayed for, and for patriotic Delawal
cans fought for and many of them die
10 attain-thc perfect Union of the Stat
with the Union of States.
Traitors are not heroes even with th
abettors Of their treason. The Repul
Leans OF Delaware will not let thes
gentlemen forget that they are not e
teemed as heroes. but as traitors.

Commenting OH the bribery investi-
CATION committees report Every Evening
says:
The minority report, signed by Repre-
Sentatives Baynard and Moore, Union
Republicans. expresses the opinion that
the charges have not been sustained, and
recommends the abandonment of the
case. This report also recommends that
1000 copies of the stenogrnphic report
be printed for distribution in the districts
represented by Representatives Hearn

mendation it is hard to conceive, unless
they want these reports for use as cam
paign documents. If this be the case,
it is sufficient to say that the States
money can be employed to much better
purposes.
1t is just possible that the recon-
mendation OF the minority report defeat
ed it. The Democrats evidently don't
want the truth about the bribery investi-
CATION known in Mr.. Layton's and Mr..
Hearn's districts. Why? Are they con-

A SURFACE INDICATION,

The Indignation expressed by the
Union Republicans at the close of the
joint session of the legislature yester-
day, was only the breaking through the
crust of current of popular feeling of
shame and Indignation toward the trait
ors who have so betrayed and disgraced
the Republican party and the State Of

will be increased ten fold. The men

come the silent but continuous contempt
which all good men always do, and al
ways will hold for traitors, in reserve for
them. They can go to their homes, and
they will not be molested, but when, as
they must, they think back over their
political careers and realize how they
have turned upon the party that gave
them position and honor, when some
of them recall the fact of ingratitude to
the friends who helped them to a place

ABSURD OR FUNNY--WHICH?

The humorous thing that developed
yesterday was the report that President
Mckinley and Chairman Hanna had de-
cided to order Mr.. Addicks TO get out of
the Senatorial race in TINS State. The
men who manufactured that yarn didnot
know Mr.. Addicks. He is not made of that
kind of stuff, that is ordered about, even
by Presidents of the United States or
Chairman Of the National Republican
Committee. Those gentlemen know bet
Ter than their spokesmen. The obliga-
ton, if there is any such thing between
Mr.. Audicks and Mr.. Mckinley, and Mr..
Hanna, is on their side. The debt to be
paid they owe. Twice has Delaware
given the National Republican party its
vote, and thrice elected Republican mem.
hers of Congress. when the vote of the
State could not have been given to it.
and when Congressman could not be
elected, except with Mr.. Addicks anG
his friends help. 1t was an absurt
idea TO suppose any such order was
or could be given. Under the circum
stances the absurdity would also hav,
savored of ingratitude.
