Fruit Crop Has Been Injured.

the trees had budded out and were just

While but few reports have been re-

Commissioner o. b. Stevens Is OF the
opinion that the trees have been damaged

MRS. DUNCAN is SICK;
TRIAL TO BE DELAYED

IL is very doubtful II Mrs. Mollie Dun
can, indicted Tuesday for the murder
OF her husband A Policeman James M. Dun
can. will be abe to stand trial next week.
IF the trial is set for the early part OF
the week" said DR.. J. W. Hurt this morn
ing, Mrs. Duncan will not be able TO
stand the ordeal. II will be a hard fight
to get her in condition for the trIaI any
not be able 10 be present during the first
few days. She viii not be able to leave
her bed. unless she improves most won
derfully."
Mrs. Duncan is terribly nervous. as she
has been since she was first taken into
custody. She has been upheld TO a great
extent by the false hope that the grand
jury would indict her tor a lesser offense
than murder. BY the delay in finding any
true bill at an she was led 20 believe that
her chances for escaping a trial for MUIR
der were increased.
The delay In finding a true bill was due
more TO considering the mystery feat
ures" that have been thrown into the
case than to anything else.
Duncan had made no dying statement
though he had exonerated his son, Claude,
in talking to those about his bedside.
Mrs. Duncan's continued nervousness is
due as much to an accident she had some
three weeks before the killing OF her hus-
band as to the continued strain in which
she has since lived. She jumped from a
buggy and was badly hurt. This brought
on complications which have left her very
nervous.

"'LL CUT YOUR THROAT.
SAID MAN TO PEARSON

An unknown man created considerable
excitement in the ONCE of the prison
commission at the capitol Monday af-
ternoon by threatening to cut the throat
Of Transfer Guard Benjamin Pearson. He
also attempted to shoot Mr.. Pearson. but
was ushered out of the Office in a hurry
and sent flying down the capitol steps
The man had been 20 the office one day
last week. and was in an intoxicated con-
dition. Monday he appeared again.
James ". English, Jr.. Benjamin Pearson,
and the negro porter OF the commission
were the only persons in the office at the
time. The man was well-dressed, but had
a wild look about the eyes. He said he
wanted to be pardoned by Judge Turner.
the chairman of the commission, but
when he was informed Judge Turner was
not in. he entered into a discussion of the
gubernatorial race. Because he was
charged by Mr.. Pearson with being
supporter of Guerry he walked TO where
Pearson was sitting. placed his hands on
Parsons shoulders and looked at him
for some time. Mr.. Pearson soon became
tired of the position In which he was sit
ting and informed the strange visitor that
he could have a chair.
It was then that the unknown man put
one hand I'm his pocket and asked Pearson
II he would like to have his throat cut
Pearson was astounded at the man and
drew back. He then told him that he
would not like to have his throat cut
while he was looking at the man who was
10 cut it. The man replied that he had
sharp knife he would like TO use on some
body's throat and he thought Parsons
was a good one. Pearson old the man II he
didn't clear out OF the office he would
throw him through the window, and then
the man reached in his pocket for pistol.
The porter rushed to the door and began
yelling for the capitol guards and Pear
son made for his desk. where he keeps a
tremendous Colts revolver that he carried
when transferring desperate convicts.
The porter was keeping up such noise
that the unknown man decided II would
be too warm, especially when he saw
Pearson reach for his gun. He made for
the door in a hurry. saying he would
come back some other time. Pearson fol-
lowed the man to the entrance on Mitch
ell street.
The man ran rapidly down Mitchell
street. turned into washington and dis
appeared.
It is believed at the Office of the prison
commission that the man is crazy. He
seems TO think that he has committed
some crime and wants pardon for IL. A
sharp lookout will be Kept for him here
after and the next time he appears ef-
forts will be made to arrest him and turn
him over TO the police.

MURDER TRIAL ENDS
IN ABRUPT MANNER
NEGROES CHARGED WITH POISON
ING PLEAD GUILTY TO MURDER
INTHE sEcoN1 DEGREE.

Charlie TTE. N. c., March 1.-THE
trial of John and Ella Knots, colored, &C
cused Of poisoning DR.. S. j, Love, IN Au-
gust, 1900. came TO an abrupt conclusion IN
Stanly county court Saturday. when, by
an agreement reached by the attorneys for
the state and defense, a submission TO
murder in the second degree was made.
The case was not given to the jury. Judge
Shaw sentenced Ella Knots to ten years
and John Knots to five years in the state
prison. This ends one of the most mys-
terious criminal cases in the annals Of the
state. In August 1900 wheat threshing
was held at the home of Mr.. Tom Love,
father of the deceased, DR.. S. j. Love.
The next day nine OF the men who had
eaten a meal there were taken III, all OF
them showing symptoms of arsenical pois-
oning. All of them recovered except DIR.
S. ]. Love. who. after lingering several
days. suffering great pain, died. Ella
Knots, who prepared the meal, told
friend that she had placed some medicine
on the tomatoes served at dinner, given
her by John Knots, who told her II IL
killed DR.. Love she would receive s. for It.
This John Knots denied and there the
chain in the states evidence was broken.
The night before her arrest she was WIS.,
tied by a crowd of masked men and with
a rome around her neck $50 she statesls
pistols and knives thrust in her face, she
was forced TO tell the above tale and also
told il she did not stick to this statement
at the preliminary trial on the morrow
that her life would be taken. She swors
here this week that her first statement
was untrue and that she made It, believ-.
ing that II she did not that her life would
be taken. A few weeks after being placed
In Jail here mob stormed the jail and
took John Knots out with the evident
intention of lynching him. He escaped
from IN the darkness and went to Union
county, where he surrendered to the ON
GERS there.
