Statement by Attorney Sinclair.

Mr.. ~ A. Sinclair, who argued
the Utley case in the Supreme
court, tells the reporter that the account
which appeared in the News and Observer
yesterday morning was inaccurate. lie
said:
'The prisoner asked for new trial
because the fourteen jurors of the spe-
cial venire. who had been stood to the
foot of the panel, were not called, upon
the exhaustion of the panel, in the same
order in which they were stood aside,
but their names were put in a hat and
called by lot.
THE prisoner also contended that the
judge below committed error in his
charge as to what evidence would re-
duce the offence from murder in the
second degree to manslaughter.
The State took the position that there
was no element of manslaughter in the
case; that it was either first or second
degree murder, and based their conten-
ton upon the whole uncontradicted evil
dence in the case-to the effect that
Utley, who was boarder at the hotel,
went down to the office about midnight
and asked deceased who was night clerk
to cash his check for $500 which the
clerk declined to do, whereupon Utley
cursed him, drew his pistol and shot at
him. Afterwards the deceased went
out and got policeman to come to the
hotel to protect him. In the meantime
Utley went upstairs and was heard to
curse deceased for not cashing his
check, and to say that he had plenty of
cartridges and would load his pistol and
go back down and if man said one
word to him, he would fill that office
full of balls. He behaved himself cir
cumspeetly until the policeman left He
then followed the policeman a short way
to be satisfied that he was out of sight.
and Immediately returned TO the hotel,
and after trying to provoke deceased to
quarrel, which he refused to do shot
all six bullets of his pistol at him, the
first ball striking deceased at the seam
of the coat sleeve behind the right arm
pit. Utley was advancing with his hand
in his pocket upon his pistol, vlely
cursing deceased, when he shot him
Hollingsworth's feet we're in one step CT
the rear door leading into the back yard
of the hotel when he was killed"
The report published in the News and
Observer was based upon an interview
with ex-Judge Thomas H. Sutton, who
said yesterday that he thought the re-
port was perfectly fair to both sides.

DOCTOR LEARNED
The Power of Pure Food.


Sometimes a physician who has eX-
hausted medical skill on his own case
finds that he has to look to pure food to
cure him by its simple and homely yet
natural and scientific principles.
A wen known physician and Surgeon
of Crowley. La, has spent great many
years in this profession. The services
of my life time" he says, have been to
try to better mankind; to help them pre-
serve health when in possession OF l.
and TO help them to regain it when lost.

alike. Looking forward into the future,
our committee forecast the day when
Plymouth church shall be to New York
and Brooklyn what the Old South is to
Boston. It is a historic building and
should be preserved, but if it is to be pre-
served it must be done by those of us who
love Mr.. Beecher.
''This memorial movement includes sew
eral different features. First. to condemn
in whole or in part the block on which
Plymouth church is situated, as little
public park, to be named the Henry
Ward Beecher park. Many favor the re-
moyal f Mr.. Beecher's remains to this
park. It is also proposed to erect a
Beecher memorial hall to contain the pull
pit from which Mr.. Beecher sold the slave
girl, the pulpit from which Lyman Beech
er preached his sermon on due1ling the
Sunday after the death of Alexander Ham
ilton, and the sermon on Temperance,
which developed into the Washington
movement with the manuscripts of Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, Mr.. Beecher's sister.
together with the portraits. photographs
paintings 0f Mr.. Beecher and the epochs
of his life, of which nearly 100 exist
and to overture some AbbeM or Sargent fol-

scenes.
