ELIZABETl. sCITY.-N. G., March To-
At the end Of the first week of the VII
cox trial the prosecution has proven con-
clusiyely that Nell Cropsey was q victim
Of foul play. She did no commit suicide
nor meet death accidentiy, but was
dubbed and thrown into the river IN an
unconscious state, according to the testi-
mony.
But as yet no word duplicating Jim Will
cox has been said. An attempt to do That
will be made next week. Leonard Ownes
will swear he saw Wilcox at a quarter to
IL on! the night of Nells disappearance
near her home. Nell's sister and New
York cousin will swear he left the Crop
sey residence at 11:05. Caleb Parkers tes-
timony will not be very valuable to the
State. To-day the case progressed rap
idly.
HER BRAIN DECOMPOSED.
Though the brain is the seventh OF the
human organs to decay, DR.. Fearing said
Miss Cropsey's brain was defluent, and
was the only decomposed organ He said
it was dfsorganized as the result of a
blow. He accounted for the body's eX-
cellent state Of preservation by saying
that juniper water. has preservative quail
ties.
DIR. J. E. Wood, county health officer
and Nell's physician, was sworn. Much

He said no photograph or token Of friend
ship was found about Miss Cropsey. not
withstanding Wilcox claimed to have re-
turned a. picture. DR.. Woods most sig
nificant testimony was: II think, sir, the
blow stunned the woman. and while in a
Stunned condition she was put into the
wa ter. ~
DR.. w. J. Lu1nsden was sworn. but was
stood aside, when he said he was not
qualified to be an expert in this case.
CUMULATIVE. EVIDENCE.

The case will not conclude before next

decided whether they will introduce evil
dence. It looks like Wilcox will not be
hanged.
The longest previous murder trial in
this county lasted four days.

CHATHAM SWEPT
BY MORNING FIRE
Loss Nearly Twenty Thousand
With Only Partial Insurance.
No Fire Apparatus.
Especial Disos:ch to The Times

LYNCHBURG, VA, March 15.-Chat-
ham, Va, was swept by flames early this
morning, causing a loss of between S15,-
600 or $4,000, and at one time threatening
the destruction of the entire town. The
town is entirely without fire-fghtinS IA
cilities, and the efforts of the citizens were
futile to stop it's work.
The fire originated in tho store of j.
P. Hunt. The building and contents were
destroyed, causing loss of $500. Insur-
ance, 1900, in the Virginia Fire and Ma
rine Insurance Company.

away the following property: Storeh;rsc

In the Virginia Fire and Marine: small
frame house belonging to Mrs. F. NJ. Cole

and brick building of Hotel Bennett,
owned by Bennett Bros, loss, $1,000, no

Z The furniture and fixtures on the lower
floor in the parlor. dining-room and
kitchen were saved.
The stock of goods Of ]. H. Dolanz, con-
fectioner and grocer. and fixtures of Chris
Lewis a coored barber. who occupied
store rooms in the hotel building, were
saved. the slight loss suffered by Mr.. Do
lanz being covered by insurance in the
Petersburg Saving and Insurance Com
pany.
Stores on opposite side of the street
from, the hotel, one of which was owned
and occupied by J. w. Whitehead and
Son, and the other two owned by ". r.
Fitzserald and occupied by the Chatham
Pharmacy and George A. Reynolds. We're
considerably damaged by the heat, the
loss being, about $500, covered by lnsur-
arce.
A small frame dwelling owned by the
Whittle estate was destroyed.
In the first stage of the fire. strong
wind from the South threatened the de-
struction of the entire business section Of
the town. but when the hotel building
caught fire. the wind shifted to the north
cast and thus Chatham was saved from
what might have been humiliation.
The town had no facilities for fighting
the fire. and citizens devoted themselves
to saving the contents OF buildings.
The fire is generally thought to be of
incendiary origin. and j. p. Hunt. in
whose store It originated about t o'clock,
is firmly of that opinion, as some bags of
-four were found near the lower back door.
where the fire was first discovered. The
glass fronts of the stores of J. w. White
head & Son. Chatham Pharmacy and
George A. Reynolds were shattered by
powder explosion in Hunts store.

The DANISH ISLANDS.


If Congress sees fit, the cost OF
the administration of the newly ac-
CURED Danish West Indies can be
reduced to n mere fraction Of what
Denmark has been paying
The first step is promising. since
the islands are to be placed under
the administrator of Governor Hunt
of Porto Rico Thus, at one sweep,
the government avoids salary Of
$4,000 which has formerly been paid
to the Danish residents. There will
he no necessity for maintaining the
petty army which Denmark support
ed there. The policing of the isl
ands can be done under local gov
eminent, and it will give employment
to local residents who need the
money In case of war with for
eign power it would only be neces-
sary to defend the harbor of ST.
Thomas. This would be an easy task
Even if the Islands were surprised
and captured, the loss would be but
temporary. The experienc Of two
centuries shows that the capture or
the West Indian islands by first one
power and another have been barren
victories. The war was always de.
cided elsewhere. and the islands
came back to their original owners
in the subsequent treaty Of peace.
