posed to exist while the character and
greatness Of General Lee are almost uni
versaly respected and honored. Tie
members of the General Assembly in
my judgment can feel assured that the
intelligent public at the North will al
most unanimously approve their voting
In favor of the Lee statue While UNI

with the murder OF Thomas Wilson In
Charlotte, was the testimony OF Miss
Ada Wilson. daughter Of the murdered
tragedy OF December 9TH. The witness
told the story OF the shooting In a
straightforwa simple and direct man.
Nora manner that impressed her hear
ers that she was telling 1t Just as it
happened. The REORGANIZATION was
rigorous and searching. but from the
standpoint OF the spectators the wit
ness was not rufrled nor her version OF
the tragedy shaken. 1t was tedious,
nerve-racking ordeal even for man,
but the witness betrayed no signs of
weakening. Her testimony was regarded
by those who heard 1t as damaging to
the defendant. and as she was the sole
eyewitness. 1t naturally follows that her
story Is all important
The twelfth juror was chosen carly In
the morning session from the second
special Yenire. The present outlook Is
that the case will not go to the Jury
before Tuesday Afternoon.
Miss Ada Wilson, daughter OF the dead
man. testified that she met Bishop the
night of the tragedy at the home OF
Jacob Meyer, short distance from her
home: that she and five others. lnclud-
ing Bishop, drank wine that was brought
to the Meyer home by Bishop. From
the Meyer home Miss shultz. Miss VIII
son and Miss Bishop went to the home
OF Wilson, and just as the three were
seated in the parlor Bishop asked the
girls to take drink with him. Miss
Shultz compiled, but Miss Wilson stated
that she did not drink.
About this time Wilson came to the
parlor door and ascertained that the
door was latched on the inside. He
called to his daughter to open the door,
and Miss shultz volunteered to do so.
On entering the room Wilson ordered
Bishop to take the damn stuff (mean-
ing the whiskey and wine that was
on the center table, and 60 Bishop
arose and extended his hand, at the
same time telling Wilson that he was a
gentleman and desired to be so treated.
Wilson refused Bishops hand and at
the same time put his hands on Bishop
and pushed him In the direction OF the
parlor door. Just as the two got OUT
in the hall Bishop fired the fatal shot.
Mrs. Wilson, widow Of T. j. Wilson.
corroborated her daughters statement,
also Tom Wilson, young son, and A.
B. Downs. father OF Mrs Wilson. A
number OF character witnesses were then
examined. after which the State rested.
j. II. Patterson and o. L. Barringer
were the only two witnesses examined
for the defense. Both were at the
Wilson home soon after the killing. Both
stated that Miss Wilson said that She
never saw the fatal shot fired. Each
stated that the girl was bordering on
hysteria.i
