William Davis Motion for Sew Trial
and the Bullet That Described "a
Curve.

McCants Stewart came into court
this morning prepared to prove 90
Judge Gear that "a bullet goes straight
and cannot describe "a curve. after leaV-
ing the muzzle of "a revolver. lie had
atiidavits and a drawing to show how
true the important fact was and didn't
propose to leave any doubt In the
courts mind but the court ruled out
an the evidence. The particular bull
let which Stewart wanted to show went
straight was the one with which Will
l!am Davis was convicted of wounding
La Chinese some months ago, I'm Eva.
When the motion for new trial i'm
the case of Davis, who was sentenced
to two years, was heard i'm Judge
Gears court this morning, Stewart Of
fered a drawing which he posted up
before the judges eyes. The drawing
was by Assistant superintendent of
Public Works MarstOu Campbell. 1t
represented a man on horseback and
man i'm a cart ahead of him. The man
on the horse was shooting at the other
man, as Davis is alleged to have shot
lat the Chinese on an Eva road, and
/ the course of the bullet was shown. 1t
was claimed that the diagram and afii-
davits showed that the jury's ConClu-
SION in the case was an impossible one
requiring the bullet to describe a curve
or turn corner.
When the carefully prepared sketch,
with an affidavit of Campbel's stating
that he was a civil engineer and COM
petent to calculate the course Of bull
let's and other missiles, was offered in
evidence. however. Assistant Attorney
General Douthitt objected on the
ground that Stewart was Offering evi-
dence that did not go to the jury. After

The girl who Tilted Kitchener is the
title now added to that previously pos
sessed by Lady Helen Stewart the
daughter of the marquis of London
derry. Lady Helen is a beauty, and one
of the most famous bellies Of London
court society. She became engaged to
Lord Kitchener of Khartoum about a
year ago Some time i'm the autumn fol-
lowing she broke her engagement to
him and Immediately bestowed E-r
hand upon Lord Stavordale. The un-
doing of Lord Kitchener in his affairs
of the heart came about. il is said,
through Lady Heleus reading and see
ing the awful accounts and caTicatures
Of her lover i'm the French illustra ted
papers; from a hero i'm her sight he be-
came the cruel creature that the French
press represented him to be. It was
said that Kitchener was a woman-ha ter
tin he met Lady Helen; he was deeply
infatuated with her loveliness and
courted her persistenuy. His rank and
military achievements fascinated her
and she became engaged to him
Kitchener is now 80 years of age. a tall
handsome man, with broad shoulders
and frame as lean and sinewy as a
