Elias A. McQuade, reporter OF Man.
chester, N. H., published certain state
ments in his paper. A party interested
demanded the source of his information.
which Mr.. McQuade, of course, refused
to give. He was then summoned into
court, but respectfully informed Judge
Peaslee that the unwritten law of his
profession forbade him to do as reques-
ted. Just what the court would have de-
cided is not known, for at this juncture
his honor obtained the desired informa-
ton from another source.

MRS. YOUNG ON STAND
WIFE OF MURDERED MAN A W.T. NESS.
Nm Patterson Paled as Spouse of Her Alleged Vietim Was sworn by
 Justice Vernon Davis-Im- pOrtant Ruling.

New York. Dec. 14.-Mrs. Young
 widow of Caesar Young, was a witness
 today in the criminal branch of the
 Supreme Court. where Nan Patterson is on trial before Justice Vernon M.
 Davis. charged with Young's murder. Although she was on the stand only Hong enough to identify a letter to which another witness had referred Mrs. Youngs presence there developed one of the most intense situations of the trial. As the wife of the dead man
 took the stand. Miss Patterson became
 very pale, but watched intently every
 movement of the witness during her brief examination.
 The letter which Mrs. Young identi fled had been produced by Bernard L..
 McKean, one of Young's brothers-in- law, who testified that Young had mem toned 1t in a conversation with Miss
 Patterson early in May and that Miss Patterson had said the letter was written by her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith.
 The letter has not yet been read in evidence.
 Another of Young's brothers in law. William Luce, told of what occurred between Young and Miss Patterson at their meeting in a saloon the night be- fore Young was killed, and John Crow 1 ley. a cab driver, repeated his story of having seen Young slap the prison l CTS face during a quarrel on the street | that same night.
 | Interest in the Patterson murder | trial today centered in the ruling which Justice Davis announced that he
 would make at ths opening of court re- | garding the admission of the testimony in the alleged conspiracy referred to | L t.t. Dn.a | yesterday. Upon this ruling depended
 the question whether the prosecution
 would be permitted to attempt to sub stantiate in the presence of the jury | it's allegation that J. Morgan Smith was spirited away from the jurisdiction of the court by Miss Patterson's coun- l sel and her father.
 This sensational charge which had | been forecasted by rumor for several days was made yesterday afternoon . The jury had been dismissed for the l day, however. and heard none of the arguments between counsel. The tes- timony by which MT. Rand asserts he will prove the plot to wrong Young. may be as sensational as the charge of | onspiracy itself. So far 1t has only been hinted at in the testimony of the newsboy, with a link offered in the testimony of the pawnbroker. Hiram Stern, who sold the revolver with which Young was killed.
 These lines of evidence are very far apart and in order to form connecting chain of circumstances, witnesses will
 have to be called who have been kept
 in the background since the District
 Attorney has been building up his case.
 Letters containing threats have been
 spoken of by the prosecution as being
 documents important to their theory,
 but so far the name of Smith has not
 been connected with these alleged
 threats.

ALABAMIANS RECEIVED
PRESIDENT APPRECIATES INVITA-
 TONS TO COME SOUTH.
Introduced by Colonel Wiley to Messrs Moritx, smith and Quill and Ex- pressed Determination to
 Visit Montgomery.

Washington. Dec. 14.-(Speeial)-- Representative Wiley introduced Messrs C. l.. Moritz and Holland M. Smith of Montgomery. and Captain John Quill, of Mobile to President Roosevelt this morning.
 They had but a little time before going to their homeward bound train on the Southern Railway, but they were cordially received by the Presi- dent. Just before the Aiabamians had audience with MT. Roosevelt he was bidding adieu to party of Texans. in cluding the mayor of Waco, who had invited him to include their town in his trip southward when he went to San Antonio to celebrate with the Rough Rider regiment.
 Colonel Wiley referring to that fact, incidentally mentioned that a commit tee of business people of Montgomery would at some early future date con vey an invitation to the President to visit the Capital of Alabama,
 President Roosevelt said he was deeply gratified at the many cordial invitations which he had received to visit Southern cities. He was going to visit Indian Territory and San An tonic, but did not think at this time, that is, when he went to the southwest in the spring, he could take In the Gulf States as he very much desired.
 There were three Southern States, Kentucky Alabama and Georgia which MT. Roosevelt said he had never visited and he was anxious to see them. He hoped in Alabama to make visits to Montgomery, Mobile and Birmingham and expected to do so at the very first opportunity.
 The President repeated in conclusion his sincere appreciation of the hospita- = ble spirit of the Southern people toward him and assured his visitors he in tended as soon as possible to avail himself as far as his duties would allow of the invitations extended.

The Angel Aim.

In one of Murillos pictures in the Louvre he shows us the interior of a convent kitchen: but doing the work there are, not mortals in old dresses but beautiful white-winged angels. One serenely puts the kettle on the fire to boil and one is lifting up a pail of water with heavenly grace. and one is at the kitchen dresser reaching up for plates; and I believe there is a little chep6b running about and getting in the way. trying to help. What the old monkish legend that 1t represented is do not know. But as the painter puts 1t to you on his canvas. all are so busy, and working with such a will. and so refining the work as they do it. that somehow you forget that pans are pans and pots pots. and only think of the angels and how very natural and beautiful kitchen work is-just what the angels would do. of course. It is the angel aim and standard in an act that consecrates it. He who aims for perfectness in a trifie is trying to do that tri1e holily.

MARCUM CASE TESTIMONY.
Court Continues to Grind Ont sepsa
 tiOnal Evidence.

Court Continues to Grind Ont Sensa- tional Evidence.
 Winchester. Ky. Dec. 14.-The court room was crowded again today. in terest in the Marcum damage suit be- ing unabated.
 J. Ewen. who. was standing by Mar cum when the latter was killed, was finished today Tn his chief examina- ton he testified that Marcum some. times stayed at his house: that James Hargis asked if he could not take a walk with Marcum and leave. and that when the witness once told of Marcum planting trees. Hargis had said that he would be planting trees In another world in a few months.
 The second witness today was Henry Noble, school superintendent of Breat- hitt County. who said that at the time the store of Hargis Brothers and heard the shooting. He was told that his brother had been killed and hastening out saw the body of Marcum lying on the court house floor. He saw Tom White go in at a side door. ire a pistol into the prostrate body and then walk over to Hargis's store.
 Buck Cottongame testified that French saw him in Leslie County and tOl0 ntm that fhdrcum was IneuOleSOme and the Hargis would have to havs him killed and that when the Hargis found people in their way they managed to get rid of them. The con versation took place near where Nick Combs and Joe EversolI, ..e first vic tims of the French -Eversoll feud were killed and French told witness he could get money for the same kind of work that was done at that place.
 Over the objection of the defence Buck Cottongame said the defendants, French. offered Nose Feltner $1,0O0 to leave and to take away other wit uesses and afterward Feltner did so and seemed to have plenty of money.
 Charles Anderson. student at Jackson Academy, said he sad Marcum when killed. and that he lookedsup and saw James Hargis, at an upstairs win dow of his store with a gun in his hands. He saw two others whom he could not recognize.
 Mrs. Rebecca Bailey. mother of Nose Feltner. said that at different times she saw Callahan and French and that each wanted Nose Feltner to help them and they declared they\would help him out of his trial for the murder of Jesse Fields. AS an argument French said that the Hargls were all powerful in Breathitt County: that the circuit judge would do as they said. and that Gov. Beckham was their friend and would do anything they wished.

CARNEGIE UNWEI.L.
Makes Clear Why He Can't Attend
 Trial

New York. Dec. 14.-That Andrew Carnegie Is willing to appear against Mrs. Chadwick when his health is inn proved was made clear in a statement given out tCslay at Mir. Carnegies res idence by his secretary.
 MT. Carnegle's only reason for not going to Cleveland at this time has already been given" said the secre- tary. His health will not admit of his taking the trip save at con- erable risk, as his physician has all ready said he Is suffering from lum- bago. He has been willing to make deposition at his home and later, on his return from Florida, he will lend his assistance and be present to testify at any subsequent proceeding such as trial whenever his testimony Is needed. His one and only reason for not going to Cleveland now Is that he is unable to stand the journey in this weather"

"CamiIIe' at the Bljou.

Camille" was presented at the Bijou Theatre last night by Frank Dudley and his talented company of actors and the audience gave evidence Of complete satisfaction with the enter tainment.
 MT. Dudley is a capable young actor and he has surrounded himself with about fifteen players of more than mediocre ability. Indeed his leading woman. Miss Aubrey, is exceptionally gifted and is much more of an artist than one has reason to expect or a repertoire company playing at prices within the reach of everybody.
 Having done so we'll 1t is surprising that MT. Dudley would undertake production of Camille" This great emotional drama is not to be trtned with. It Is a poem and poems must De true or they are not poems. The slightest jingle mars tEe Wnole: NO matter how convincing Armand may be; no matter how vivid. now iaitntui i Camille may be presented, If a note or discord is sounded by a minor player the whole thing totters and falls.
 This very thing happened last night. MT. Dudley made an acceptable Armand and Miss Aubrey's Camille was living reality. But other players walked in and out of the picture reminding us that it was a mere play, after all.
 If the audience did not expect this sort of presentation the audience was unreasonable. Actors who nave the lines the cues and the scenes of per- haps a dozen plays in their minds, are not expected to give artistic interpre- tation to any of them. Considering this condition. this frequent interfer- ence so to speak, the portrayals' of Armond Duval by MT. Dudley and Camille by Miss Aubrey were finished and satisfying.
 MT. Dudley is of the quiet. repressed | school of actors. One left the theatre | with the idea that his Armand might have been more impetuous.
 Miss Aubrey was impressive. Her | scene with Mons Duval was especially
