NO MORE ARRESTS.
Looks as if Wilmington, Delaware Police Were
Afraid to Move arther.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.
Wilmington, Del, June 26.-The danger
of further lawlessness as a result of the
lynching of George f. White for the
murder of Helen Bishop and the arrest
of a man on the charge of completely in
the lynching, has not yet passed. While
there is no visible evidence that another
outbreak will occur there is a feeling
of uneasiness among the police authorities
which has caused them to take extreme
measures of a precautionary character
to nip in the bud any further attempts
of the whites to wage war on the blacks
or of the latter to retaliate. Late this
afternoon every saloon keeper IN the city
was ordered to suspend business until
tomorrow. In addition to this all other
bowling alleys, and the public library.
were requested to close up tonight
The lawless element among the colored
people is largely blamed for the disorder
that in certain parts of the town they
marched through the streets and roughly
handled any white person that dared
stand in their way On the other hand
the whites and some of them Of the bet
ter classes are not held blameless There
have been instances during the last day
or two where white men and boys were
the aggressors.
There were no arrests made today in
direct connection with the lynching ana
the police give no intimation that they
contemplate making any such arrests.
Prominent citizens have suggested to the
police that further arrests for the burn
ing of White would be inadvisable in view
of the excitement and disorder caused
by the arrest of Arthur Cornell, of In
diana, in connection with the lynching.
Cornell was released from custody after
lengthy hearing before Magistrate Geo.
H. Hollis for want of evidence.

STATE VS.. WILCOX, appellant. From
Perquimans No error
| 1t is for the court to decide whether 9
witness has had experience necessary to
entitle him to testify as an expert, and
such finding is conclusive, but the value
of his opinion when admissible must be
determined by the jury.
! Medical witnesses are competent to tics
tify as to the kind of weapon which would
produce wound or fracture, and whether
a particular wound or fracture may have
been made with an instrument mentioned
to the witness
A map prepared by witness is admis-
sible for the purpose of aiding the witness
to explain his testimony to the jury.
Evidence that prisoner has had oppor-
tunltles to escape from Jail and failed to
avail himself of them, is not admissible.
The rule requiring proof beyond rca-
sonable doubt does not require the State,
upon the trial of an indictment for muir
der even in a case of circumstantial evil
dence, to prove such a coincidence of cir
cumstances as pecludes other hypothesis,
IS that the circumstances and evidence
must be such as to produce a moral GER

them with knives as soon as they had left
