the death of the beautiful girl. shot down in the bloom of her beauty, shot from the rear by one who should have pro tected her with every drop of blood in his body. He pointed out that a few miles from the court house there was a new made grave, the narrow home for all eter- nifty of the body of the beautiful Allie Armstrong. It was there by the delib- crate act of Ralph Armstrong. The de- fense, the solicitor said. had even failed to prove that Ralph Armstrong was drunk the fateful night of October g. But even If he had been drunk. the speaker de- clared. that fact would have been no palliation of the bloody. cowardly mur- der. It would only show that he had to resort to the vile stuff to nerve his cow ardly nature up to the brutal deed.
 He spoke of the part played in the case by family pride. If the tragedy had been done by a stranger, the solicitor suspect ed that there would have been no ob- stacles thrown in the way of securing a dying declaration from the stricken girl He had no criticism for the part taken by Mrs. Delbrdge, and other rela- tivee. He felt a deep sympathy for them. but he said he had no sympathy for Ralph Armstrong. the doer of the cow ardiy. cruel and dastardly murder

examination of character witnesses was resumed. Rev. Cullen Jeter of Auburn testified that the character of Ralph Armstrong in his home town was bad.
 Rev J. w. Chalker of Tuskegee testi- fled to the fragment of a conversation heard between Mrs. Delbridge and the solicitor on the day of the preliminary hearing.
 The defense then introduced witnesses who testified to the good character of Mrs. F. E. Delbridge and James Del bridge pr. J. T. Akin was the first witness called to tell of the good char acter In reply to a question by the so- licitor, the witness said that James Del bridge had taken a deep interest in the case. Witnesses who spoke in terms of praise of the good character of Mrs. Del bridge and James Delbridge are J. E. Wilkerson, Fletcher Slocomb, J. H. Land, c. B. Roy. J. Wilkerson and R. W. Ben ton They are all from Notasulga.

 Brewer Opens or State.
 Solicitor Brewer opened for the prose- cution.
 He placed before the jury the blood stained clothing. the burned dressing sack, the white undergarments, reddened and darkened with clotted blood. He pro- duced the original telegram sent by Ralph Armstrong to Homer Wright at Auburn, telling him to destroy the letter he had left and he showed the pistol with which the crime had been committed
 In hbs strong argument for conviction. the solicitor held close to the evidence He pointed out the strong chain of evil dence that had been wrought out dis passionately He alluded with pathos to

by law"
 R. Barnes for the defense urged the jury to consider the evidence calmly, de- Eberately and dispa ssionately, though it was hard to do so. The tragedy had come like q flash of lightning. cutting to the core d midnight storm. It had swept the community off it's feet, and public sentiment had been aroused to a high pitch of excitement. He appealed to the jury to calmly consider the evidence in this case. where. he said. an irrational boy may have done wrong. There was nothing in Holy Writ or in written law which declared that man should revel in tie tapping of ~.ood. and he said he deprecated the Nominations of the solicitor calling for vengeance
 MT. Barnes contended the killing could not have been willful deliberate or pre- meditated murder. The state had failed to show it, he said. He recalled the amount of whiskey, the evidence showed that Ralph Armstrong had consumed in the day of the tragedy to show that he was irrational and Irresponsible from continued drinking

MOTIVE FOR MURDER
Lien Had Sold His Farm and
Boosted Of His
Wealth.
His Murderers Evidently Thought
He Carried the Proceeds with
Him.

After three days of hard work IN
trying to solve the mystery surround
ing the murder Of Kris p. Lien, who
was found lying unconscious In the
alley at the rear Of 116-12O Washing
ton avenue S Saturday, the officers
have found a clue which they think
will clear the matter up.
They have learned that Lien sold
his farm, consisting of 160 acres OF
good farming land at Princeton, Mimi,
and that he received a goodly sum for
it. This money was deposited In the
bank at Princeton, but the officers
think that while drinking in a saloon
he may have mentioned the fact OF
the sale and spoken of the money in
such way as to lead those who heard
him to believe that he had the money
on his person. He was then enticed
into the alley, slugged and his pockets
searched for the money.
This belief is strengthened by. the
fact that Lien was in the habit, when
intoxicated, Of boasting about his
financial condition which was good
and also, by the fact that in the past
few months several men who have
exhibited money or boosted of it have
been enticed into alleys and robbed.
& An additional motive for Liens
murder lies in the fact that he had
sold a large portion of his crops and
was believed to have the money on
his person. Two Of his friends from
Hanford, Andrew Sonju and Morris
Jahr, visited the morgue this morning
and said that they did not know how
much money Lien had, but it was pos
sible that he had checks or drafts that
the hOtelkeeper knew nothing about

AN MD. AT POLICE STATION
City Physician Kicker Devises .
Plan to Care for Delirium
Gases.

If the plans of DR.. G.. e. Kicker,
city physician, and his assistants do
not miscarry, the central police sta
ton will have a hospital ward for the
caring for delirium tremens cases and
men suffering, from acute alcoholism.
This ward is to be installed on the
now unused third floor Of the station.
The plan has been taken up with the
board of charities and corrections and
that body has signif1ed it's approval.
The matter now rests with the police
committee and the department.
For several years there has been a
great deal Of trouble with cases ), of
delirium tremens. AT the city hos
pital there are no facilities for treat
ing them and their rawlings have fire.
quently caused great deal of dis
comfort for the other patients. At
diffe rent times there have been actual
clashes between the hospital authors
ties and the police department over
such patients. NV
The plan provides for fitting up one
of the three large rooms on the third
floor Of the central station to be in
charge of a physician detailed from
patients of the alcoholic class just
as good care as he would have at the
hospital and will do away with the
trouble and annoyance Of having a
raving man in, the hospital.
Another feature Of the plan is that
a physician will be at the station at
all times to go with the wagon in
emergencies.

small groups consulting the bulletin
boards and making a, choice Of the
work they want for the winter.
Most of the men who are now being
hired are for the woods, altho many
are being sent to Missouri and Ar

been found necessary. for the south

not seem to take kindly to these

are hiring for the woods.
The employment agencies are ex-
periencing some difficulty in filling

old woodsmen are scarce this fall.
They do not expect, however, that

Club Course

Club Course.
The first piano recital of the season
will be by Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler
in the Teachers club course Monday.
Nov. IS.
On the occasion of her last New York
recital the critics were inclined to make
a new estimate of her work, based on
the idea that she has now reached the
maturity, of her powers. The conclusions
agreed that she had come fully up to her
brilliant promise and stands almost above
criticism. AS one critic expressed it, it
is only possible to speak Of Mrs. Zeisler
in raptures, and, If one is to be allowed
celestial adjectives, to pronounce her
playing divine. She has lost nothing Of
her spontaneity and passionate intensity,
but has gained in Judgment and tact.
s" Charm, poetry and intensity combine to
make her art something that fills the
thinker with wonder. At times it seems
like magic, and at all times great soul
full playing"
Her individuality makes Mrs. Zeisler
especially strong in Interpretation, as she
gives new and interesting readings of her
numbers, without doing violence to the
composers thoughts.

ELLIOTT In ASYLUM
Thoro Examination Proves Insanity
Of Man Who Tried to See
Roosevelt.
He Was Very Foxy and Tried to-
Evade Questions on Exam
ination.

Peter Elliott. the Minneapolitan
who recently created a sensation by
attempting to force his way into
President Roosevelt's presence at the
White House, is now safely lodged in
the hospital for the insane at St.
Peter. Probate Judge Harvey. after
long hearing yesterday afternoons,
found the prisoner to be insane and
an unsafe man to be at large. He was
ordered committed to the asylum, and
was taken to St. Peter last night In
charge Of Deputy Sheriff Frank John
son. When Elliott heard the decision
he burst into tears and wept spas
medically until he arrived at the hos
pitaI
The decision of the examining board
is that Elliott is paranoiac and also q
degenerate; that he will grow worse,
and that within five years will proba-
bly, have much more severe form of
dementia than at present.
Elltott's examination, conducted by
Judge Harvey, DR.. w. A. Jones and DR..
A. z. Williamson, was exceedingly
thoro and proved conclusively that the
prisoner was demented if not danger
ously insane and that he was what is
commonly known as foxy" Time
and again the doctors questions as to
Authorizations under which he might
be suffering were evaded or left alto
gether unanswered. Thru the whole
procedure Elliott maintained a discreet
silence on all points which might tend
to show him to be insane.
His life history was inquired into
from Its beginning in Sweden up to the
time of his attempt to call upon the
president of the. United States. The
most attention., however, was given to
his latest journeyings.

THAT FRANCHISE SECTION
Charter Commission Divides Thereon
ztJF %k:@ Question StiH Unsettled.

Another meeting Of the charter commits
sion has been held and still that body is
unable to agree on the question OF fral1-s
chises. A motion to sernbody in the city
charter the provision of the draft on the
franchise section which has been under
consideration for some time, was lost by
vote Of six to six-for the section being
Messrs. Daily, Donahue, Way, Heinrich,
McIale and Nelson; against, Crosby, Paul.
Rhodes, Smith, Waite and Wright. No
tfce of reconsideration was given, SO the
matter is not yet ended.
Some time was spent last evening In
discussing the matter Of the vacation Of
streets. 1t seems to be the purpose Of
the commissioners to provide practically
the same machinery for the vacation Of
streets as for opening them, and to as
sess the value against the abutting prop
erty. -
The commission voted against an art
commission for the city.
Commissioners Gray, Paul and Smith
were authorized to prepare estimates Of
the cost Of publishing the draft of the
proposed charter.
