interesting. The visitors won by a
score of IA to II, but their victory was
due to the fault of the pitcher, Mr.

Argument by Counsel for De-
fence Now On.
At It's Conclusion, the Judge VIII Charge
the jury and Turn the Case Over
TO Them.

ELIZABETH CITY. y c., March 20
Solicitor George Ward this morning made
an argument for the prosecution in the
trial Of James Wilcox, accused Of the
murder Of Nell Cropsey-
He contended that the evidence OF the
detectives against the drowning theory
"; s conclusive, fnssmuch as no water was
foun5 in the lungs. pleuraI cavities, nor
stomach.
The right side OF the heart did not
hold any blood-in fact. all the symptoms
OF drowning we're absent" said the law
yer.
He told Of the bruise on the head which
emitted a teaspOonful Of blood and re-
ferred to the testimony Of DR.. Wood, who
said that the girl was stunned by a blow
on the temple. and put under water in this
condition.
The girl was murdered and Wilcox IS
the criminal" went on the prosecutor
"He had the motive and the opportunity.
The girl had told him to 90 home II he
continued TO act as he vas acting. He
grew bitter and made up his mind 10 win
her hack or kill her.
Mr.. Ward then reviewed the evidence
and followed up the line OF argument pre-
ss~.ed previously by J. II. Sawyer
Solicitor Wards speech was dramatic
snd created a profound sensation
This afternoons session opened with an
argument by Lawyer Ahdlett. for the de-
fence.

MALLORY AGAINST
MILITARY DISPLAY
Wants No Soldiers to Guard
the President.
SUGGESTION OF A DEMOCRAT
General Hawley Declares He Would Give
a Thousand Dollars for a Good Shot at
an Anarch;st-Mr. Pettus On Hollow
Square Formations.

The bill providing for the protection Of
the President of the United States was
again taken up in the Senate today. Mr..
Rawlins Dem., Utah) said the proposed
law was preaching and yet in his opin-
ion would not accomplish the object for
which il was intended He gave notice
OF amendments which he would offer with
the object Of making it's provisions clear.
Mr.. Mallory Dem. Fla.) made a long
speech on the bill. He made his chief ar
gument against the last section OF the
bill. which provides that the President
shall be protected constantly by Soldiers
under the direction Of the Secretary OF
War.
The Democrats are placed in some
what peculiar position with reference to
this particular feature Of the bill, from
the fact that it was an Interpolation by
one Of their own party on bill otherwise
prepared entirely by Republicans. It was
written by Senator Pettus, who had de-
Tended it vaIiantIy against the assaults
OF his colleagues
Senator Mallory said that in his opin-
ioR soldiers would be no better guard for
the President than secret service men,
and that the employment of troops as a
| body guard would be most undemocratic
and unseemly in a republic.
He suggested that even in Russia.
where the Emperor is surrounded by
thousands Of troops. always in the centre
OF hollow square. never meeting meet
/ ing the people, there are assassinations, %
and he stated that anarchists would rot
be prevented by troops from assassinating
in this country any more than they are in
Russia.
Senator Pettus suggested that the army
is composed Of men trained to fight and
! to watch and men whose honor depends
on their ability TO do both. and that for
! this reason they should prove the most
! efficient guard possible. He said that the
bill contemplated no ostentatious dis
| play and no hollow square, and that the
arguments against it on this line are
without merit.
| Senator H2wley made short speech
on the bill after Mr.. Mallory had COM
! pleted his remarks.
| He concluded as follows:
Il would give $1,000 to get good shot
at an anarchist"
It Was believed that the bill would come
| 10 a vote his afternoon. and that it would
pass practically without amendment

old MATTERS NOT
COMPETENT EVIDENCE
Justice Barnard's Ruling in
the Utermehle Case.
Conversations Of Twenty five Years Ago
Ruled Out as Being Too Remote to
Be Admissible.

When the h>zring in the Utermehle viii
case was resumed this morning Justice
Barnard ordered that testimony relative
to the conversations between Mr.. Charles
H. Utermehle, the contestant and his
grandfather, George H. ctermehle, was
not competent. The evidence was in ref
erenee to matters which took place twen-
ty-hve years ago. and we're decided to be
too remote.
Mr.. Utermehle then resumed his testi-
mony, but was stopped again on objection
OF Mr.. Worthington. OF counsel for the
caveatees. Mr.. Utermehle stated that
when he accepted 4 bequest under the will
OF his grandfather he did not know that
he would be by so doing estopped from re-
ceivIng further bequests-
Mr.. Baker, his counsel. argued that Mr..
Utermehle being ignorant Of his rights
under the law was not estopped and fur
ther when he did learn his rights be Of
fered to return what he had accepted
An argument which arose over this
question occupied the attention OF the
court until the recess hour.
