ARGUMENTS IN WILCOX CASE.
Defense offered No Evidence In Or
der 10 Gain Opening and Closing
Arguments.

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 1s.-The
state this afternoon rested its case in
the trial of James Wilcox, charged
with the murder of Miss Nellie Crop
sey.
Caleb Parker, farmer, who passed
the Cropsey residence about HIS
o'clock on the night the girl disap-
peared. testified that he saw man
and woman of about the same size
talking on the sidewalk as he passed.
He did not know who they were.
w. II. Cropsey, father of the dead
girl, testified that Wilcox had offered
no consolation during the search for
the girl.
Thomas Hayman testified that Will
cox told him that he would help with
the search for Miss Cropsey but for
the fact that II her body were found
people would think that he killed her.
At the afternoon session the defense
announced that it would introduce no
evidence. and by so doing, gained the
advantage of making the opening and
closing arguments. The opening speech
for the defense was made by H. w.
not produced one iota of evidence to
show that the defendant had done any
wrong. 1t had not proved that the
dead girl had been killed by anyone.
He said that the expert doctors con-
tradicted themselves and disagreed
with noted authors on medical juris-
prudence. He asked the jury to bring
in verdict of not guilty.
r. W. Turner for the state, said
ha tnf hot he epir ri
was killed by a murderer, that there
was no motive for suicide, that James
Wilcox was the assassin, and that he
went to the Cropsey home prepared to
kill her. He said:
IF Nellie Cropsey had desired to
kill herself she could not have drowned
in three feet of water. 1t was impos-
the girl. They had been sweethearts
and she tired of him. He would not
quit. She thought no more of him
than a white doe does of a rattlesnake.
He could not win her back. He tried
by playing the devoted to other girls,
but all plans failed. He grew des-
perate and mean. He went to that
house. called the girl out, struck her
the fatal blow, carried her to the river
and dropped her in. He had
plenty of time to do 1t.
That we have proved by witnesses. He
killed her, she did not commit suicide.
Wilcox had a motive. He had plenty
of time and the opportunity, and it is
plain from the evidence. He told
Chief of Police Dawson that the girl
had laughed at him, but the defendant
said the laugh would be on the other
side. He killed the girl. l hope you
will find him guilty"
Turner's speech occupied one and a
half hours.
Former District Attorney w. j.
Leary made the second speech for the
defense and followed the line OF argu-
ment laid down by Mr.. MCMILLAN.

WILL WAGE A WAR
DEMOCRATS TO BATTLE THE
CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION.
TO COME UP IN TWO WEEKS.
DEMOCRATS DIFFER AS TO THE
COURSE TO PURSUE.

Obstructive Tactics Against All Leg
Prevent Action on the Resolution.
MIR. Bryan's Opinion and Sugges-
lions Not Unanimously ReIished
by Southern Represe ntatives.
Democrats Count on Assistance OF
Southern Republicans in Opposing
the Reduction of Representation.
Washington, March 1S.-The fact that
the Rules Committee of the House has
decided to report the Crumpacker reso-
luton, as it was instructed to do by
the Republican caucus some time since,
led to a considerable agitation of the
Force bill question, particularly among
Democratic members of the House, to-
day. 1t is not the intention of the
committee to press the resolution for
couple of weeks. because other mat
tiers of more importance are pending,
but when it does get before the House,
the indications point to a lively con-
test.
Tomorrow night the Democrats are
to caucus on the question of Boer
resolutions, and there is likelihood that
the Crumpacker movement will also be
discussed. No plan of campaign will,
however, be determined upon. DEM
ocrats differ widely as to what course
should be pursued. kilograms printed
in local papers from Senator German,
ex-senator David B., Hill and William
Il MI viz OH
have attracted considerable attention.
Mr.. Hill says, of course, the pro-
posed investigation should be opposed
because it is partisan and unneces-
sary. He says II the investigation
should be followed by an attempt to
enact federal election law, it will
work the beginning of the end of Re-
publican national rule.
Mr.. German says the Democrats
must fight this proposition from now
until the end of this Congress. His
advice is in effect for the Democrats
to use obstructive tactics against
'ewery piece of legislation to prevent
action on this resolution.
Mr.. w. J. Bryan's response as pub
ltSneu mas not pleased a good many
Southern men, while it is true that it
has pleased others. He says that if
the investigation is not partisan or sec
tartan, If the methods employed by Ike
publicans in the Hanna election and IN
Pennsylvania are Investigated, as well
as those in the Southern states, there
is no objection to investigation. Some
Southern members point to this as IN
dicating that Bryan has no sympathy
with or friendship toward the South,
and they strongly criticise him. There
is similar diversity of opinion among
members of the House, some arguing
that there should be every possible fill
buster against the adoption of the res
olution, while others think the fight
should be reserved until some lagisla-
ton is attempted. They count on the
assistance of the Southern Republicans
in opposing all attempts to cut the rep-
sentation of the Southern states.
Scarcely anything else has been dis
cussed among the Democrats to-day.

HEARD MAI. GEN. OTIS.
Senate Committee on the Philippines
Hears His Version of Conditions
in the Islands.

Washington, March 18-Maj. Gen.
Otis appeared before the Senate Com
mittee on the Philippines to-day.
When he left the Philippines in May
1900, Gen. Otis said that the army had
dispersed all of Aguinaldo's army,
quiet prevailed during the months of
May and June and hardly a shot was
fired. 1t was safe to go to all par is
OF Luzon and other islands, and a very
large trade had been established.
Gen. Otis, answering a question by
Senator Culberson, said he never
trusted native officers because they
were too cruel to their men. He said
he could trust their loyalty, but they
treated their captives with too much
cruelty
"They We're as bad as the insur-
gents" said he.
When he left the Philippines, he
said, 'khe war as war; had ceased
Answering a question by Senator
Hale, Gen. Otis said he saw no diff
Guilty in withdrawing a material num-
Der of troops from the islands. The
native forces he declared to be very
necessary, and he said there was no
peace in Manila until the native police
was organized.
The troops OF the United States, he
said, had treated the F'ilipinos with the
greatest kindness. Every statement of
harsh treatment he heard of had been
investigated. In fact, said he, eve were
laughed at by the Spaniards and the
European army officers for the hui
mainly we exercised"
AS to the capacity of the Filipinos
for government, he said that Agui-
naldo's former Secretary of State had
told him that it would take one hun
dred years to accomplish this. Gen.
Otis considered that the Filipinos were
not capable of self government. The
Filipinos, he said, understand that they
must have protection because without
it other nations would divide up the
islands, but they were DESTROYS of max
ing the best possible terms they could
with the United States. Their idea
was to have control of the internal af-
fairs of the islands, but protection out
side. .saa,

PRESIDENT VETOED THEM.
Two Bills for HOnOrabIy Discharged
Soldiers Not to His Liking.

oOAAucES MOI his Liking.
Washington. March 1s.-President
Roosevelt to-day sent to the Senate
two veto messages of private bills.
One is bill granting an honorable dis
charge from the military service to
Charles H. Hawley, who was dismissed
from the army thirty-nine years ago.
The President says he regards it as
inexpedient to reverse an order of dis
missal nearly forty years after the
event, when it is impossible for any
one to possess the means of arriving at
a judgment possessed by those who dis
missed the man.
The other is a bill for the relief of
James w. Howell. In returning the
bill the President says:
This man was convicted of mutiny,
sentenced to be dishonorably dis
charged from the army and confined
at ha' labor for a term of years A
portion of the confinement was remit
ted by executive clemency 1t is to
the last degree improbable that now,
thirty seven years after the event
there is as good an opportunity to
pass judgment upon the facts as
was the case when the fell
low officers of the offender
found him guilty of an offense so seri-
GUS as to call for the punishment they
inflicted. There is perhaps no other
heritage an American would so like
to leave to his children as an honora-
BILE discharge for services we'll and
calamity performed in the Civil War
and the honorable discharge thus
granted to those who, with blood and
toll have earned it, is cheapened and
rendered of little worth if also granted
to their unworthy brothers who have
forfeited the right to receive it,

Brooks Father Testified to n Com
versatiOn He Had Overheard.
New York, March 1S.-The hearing in
the case of Florence Burns. accused
of the murder of Walter S. Brooks. was
continued to-day before Justice Mayor.
Brooks died in hospital to which he
was taken after he had been found I'M
conscious in a room of the Glen Island
Hotel with a bullet wound in his head.
The first witness to-day was the father
of the dead man. Mr.. Brooks said
that on Dec. he heard Florence Burns
say to his son:
What are you going to do? Are
you going to marry me? My money is
soon gone, and l do not know what
to do"
His son, the witness testified, advised
the girl to find employment, and said
he would aid her to get work.
Brooks said he told Miss Burns that
his son should not marry her, and he
told her she must go home, that he
would not let her remain in the house
The witness identified woman's comb
found in the room occupied by his son
at the hotel.
Several detectives testified as to the
conduct of Miss Burns after her ar
rest, and the answers made by her in
reply to questions concerning the case.
Justice Mayer said that he was in
clined to the view that the alleged con-
versations with Miss Burns after her
arrest were inadmissible under the law
The justice said he would hear argu-
ments on this point by counsel. The
hearing was then adjourned until Sat
urday.

Hot Argument in House of Com

Army Matters.

Army Matters.
London. March .1S.-The debate this
evening in the House of Commons on
the motion of the Liberal leader, Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerm for the
appointment of a select committee to
investigate the whole commercial his
tory of the South African war, called
out several acrimonious exchanges of
remarks. Reginald McKenna, Liberal,
commenting on the remount depart
ment, declared that widespread corrup-
ton in the horse purchases has been
disclosed in almost every country on
the globe.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary to
the war office, interrupted Mr.. Nc
Kenna with an angry denial.
Mr.. Lambton, Liberal Unionist, drew
Sir Henry Campbell Bannermans fire
by declaring that the leader of the OPP
position, by his reckless language, had
taken from many people the consola.-
ton of feeling that their relatives who
had died in South Africa had fallen
honorably in the service of their coun-
try.
To this Sir Henry replied angrily:
81 give the most complete and the
most circumstantial denial to every
word the honorable gentleman has
saidi''
This statement caused confusion in
the House and cries of Withdraw"
But Sir Henry refused to withdraw his
remarks and Mr.. Lambton subse-
quently apologized.
Sir Henrys motion was rejected by
a vote of 346 to 1911, the big majority
eliciting loud ministerial cheers.
