him that some one who had seen It had
told him that Ludlow Skinner had struck

subsequent statement.
Then Mr.. Fuller said hat everything
Miss Pace had told him was SAID to him
at the very time of the homicide, or I'M
mediately a~fterWard, while they were stIIl
at the window. Then arose a discussion
as to the admission of remarks made i'm
mediately after the shooting, while both
| were sitting IN the window.
The Judge asked Mr.. Fuller about 1t,
| and he said that after her first remark
| Miss Pace said: Hes going to shoot
| him. That caused him to run to the
| window. Then she told something else
just ~ - ho0 ~
mitted this.
SO Mr.. Fuller went on to say that Miss
Pace had told him she had seen Haywood
and Skinner standing there talking, APP
p~arently IN angry conversation. That she
had seen Haywood apparently lmpresslng
something upon Skinner, touching hin on

he made a statement to the attorneys
that Miss Pace should not be put on tne
witness stand.
At this point the State rested, and Mr..

the charge IN the indictment.
Col. Argo then asked that court at
journ until Monday. 1t was then a few
| minutes after twelve o'clock. This was
| agreed upon by counsel.
BY request of Mr.. Pou, and to accom-
| modate the witness, three were then
| put on for the defense character wit

| F. w. Barnes, of Wilson, ex-fresident
| of the Bank, and a resident for tWenty-nine
| years, gave Ned Barnes, the negro car
| riage driver, a good character. Had
known him we'll for a number of years,
and knew his reputation at the State
Hospital.
DR.. w. C. Tyree, pastor of the First
| Baptist Church, of Raleigh, testified TO
the good character of Robt. Simms.
David Vaughn, of Leesville, also testi-
fed to Mr.. Simms' good character
The Judge then asked how long the de-
Tense thought it would take to finish the
trial. Mr.. Pou said he should guess that
their witnesses could be examined in
about three days. Then 1t would require
about one day more for the evidence IN
rebuttal. This would bring Friday, al
lowing two days for the argument Of
counsel. The Judge said the lawyers had
behaved so we'll that he would allow
them all to speak, five for the State and
seven for the defense.
