ROBERTS TRIAL
 DEMORALIZES COURT.

The Jackson circuit court has been seriously crippled in all efforts to do business by the jus tice of the peace court case at Judsonia, in which John Roberts is be.llg tried for grave robbery and in whose case a number of the Newport bar are engaged as counsel.
 With three prominent mem bers of the local bar, Attorneys J. M. Stayton, Gustave Jones and M. M. Stuckey, missing, few cases can be considered and it was for this reason Judge Full kerson took an adjournment of court Monday morning until Friday.
 The jury commissioners, Judge L. D. Smith, Drs. V. M. Mc- Dowell and c. West, met Mon day and named the panels for the next term of court. It was a rather remarkable coincidence that all the members are doctors or druggists, which is very much the same thing.

tor, was next called and corrob- orated the alibi story of his son, stating that he returned to Searcy next morning with Dr. Faust and John Roberts.
 He was asked to produce his hotel register in court and this book was carefully examined by the attorneys on both sides. DOCTOR FAUsT's LITTLE BOOK.
 Dr. J. w. Faust had practiced medicine in Searcy for nine years and told of his visit with Rob- erts to Armstrong Springs.
 MT. Andrews asked where the register was at the time he reg istered and witness said "in the dining room. - He had his ac- count book and had Ligon charged with a professional visit.
 Mr. Andrews conducted a rigid examination with the witness, who said he knew about the charge against Roberts, Gregory and Lightle, but di1 not remem- Der whether he had told any one about them going to Armstrong Springs April 26. Witness was certain of the date. MT. An drews took Dr. Faust's book and questioned him as to dates, med ical services and accounts of pa tients and exhibited it to the jury and called attention to the pen cil marks being fresh. MT. Andrews asked that the book be kept in the custody of the court, but the court said he could not afford to confscate witness property.
 MT. Stuckey-"Oh, MT. An drews, we will keep the book for you or give you a copy of it.
 ''I want the writing on the leaf of that book" said MT. An drews.
 ''Why was it that Bill Ligon could wait on the table, but could not come into Searcy to see you?"
 ''I do not know" said witness, "but he sent for me to come out there and see him.'
 Mir. Andrews went through a rigid examination with the wit ness and told him he would hold him responsible for the testimony he was giving in this case.
 Now, Dr. Faust, I want to ask you this question: Didn't you tell some parties the other night in the drug store in Searcy that you expected to come over here and assist the defendant, and make personal threats against myself and MT. Brun- didge?"
 No, I did not" said Dr. Faust.
 Didn't you say all the time you were a. friend of John Rob- erts and expected to help get him out of this trouble?"
 "Yes, I said l was a friend of his and I am, too"

GOOD WORD FOR GREGORY.

Capt. A. F. Smith, who has lived in Searcy and White county thirty-fve years and has been a merchant twenty-five years of the time, testified that he knew Walter Gregory and would be- lieve him on oath.
 MT. Pace asked about Gregory's general reputation.
 ''He had a good reputation un- til this matter came up,' said the witness, "and people thought Roberts and Lightle got Gregory into the trouble. ''
 J. l.. Moore, the next witness, said he had lived in Searcy since 1874 and had been in the livery business and had been sheriff of White county. Gregory stood we'll in Searcy and witness said he would believe him on oath. Witness was on Gregory's bond and wanted the guilty persons prosecuted.
 MT. Pace-- MT. Moore, haven't you been taking a great deal of interest in this case?'
 No more than any other loyal citizens.
 MT. Pace" Didn't you get into John Roberts buggy yester- day morning with two others, so you could testify or not as to it's capacity for three to ride in?''
 "Yes, I did, but it was only a joker"
 "Oh, yes, only joke" said Pace.

zLATE OF ROBERTS
 HANGS IN BALANCE.
Defence Introduces Number of Witnesses to Establish Alibi for Roberts on Night of
 Grave Robbery.

Judsonia, Sept. .4.-The end has not yet been reached in the trial of ex-Mayor John V. Rob- erts of Searcy on the charge of violating the grave, in connection with the Lightle insurance case. No conclusion is expected before Monday evening.
 = The defense had a few innings today. Among the witnesses were two sisters of Roberts. Testimony was not lacking on the point that Roberts was prob ably somewhere else when Ed Pitts grave was violated the night of April 26, although there is so far no positive proof that Roberts was far enough away from Searcy to have precluded the possibility of his participa- tion in the grave robbery.
 SEARCY PEOPLE BELIEVE GREGORY
 R. R. Wilson, one of Searcy's leading business men, who has been a merchant there since 1883, testified this morning. In Sept. 1900, witness employed Walter Gregory for about four teen months thereafter and re- garded Gregory of very good character and would believe him on oath. Witness admitted he had seen Gregory drunk.
 MT. Pace, for the defense, took witness and asked him if he ever visited gambling dens himself, and witness said he did not.
 Mir. Pace-Now, MT. Wilson, would you believe Gregory on oath, where money considera- tion was involved?
 'I would" said the witness.
 Witaess thought Gregory had told , true story, and people in Searcy generally thought so, too. MT. Pace continued with witness to some extent and wanted to know how well he was posted as to Gregory, and the charac- ter he was testifying about. MT. Pace did not thirk the witness testimony came within the pale of the law, and MT. Brundidge and MT. Pace had hot debate over the question.
 The court ruled in favor of the state.

CdH CSSClly II yOu WdilC lliC Co that three can ride in Roberts buggy.
 "Oh. yes, we knew that, and it shows how much interest you have manifested in this case," said MT. Pace.
 ''I only manifest the interest any other loyal citizen would, '" said MT. Moore.
 STATE RESTS ITS CASE. | After Moore was excused the state rested and a conference of the defendants attorneys and leading witness ensued. Greg ory was then recalled and went through rigid cross-examina- tion at the hands of Pace, as to the exact hour of the visiting of the Pitts grave. Witness said hour was between 10 and II o'clock, and that Roberts and Lightle each furnished a spade. Kay Deener was next recalled and denied having told Zol Woods and A. J. Rachael that he had it in for Roberts on account of a political race and expected to get even if it took all his life.
 Attorney J. N. Rachael testi- fed that Deener had made the threat, but Zol Woods could not remember it.
 w. J. Short, Henry Bradley, J. T. Shumate and J. T. lilly, all of Searcy. were introduced to impeach the testimony of Greg ory, whose character and general reputation they pronounced bad.
 ROBERTS SISTERS TESTIFY.
 Hedley Nicely, a negro servant of Roberts, testified that Rob- erts' horse was sick during April and March and not used, also that the buggy was locked up and key retained by Miss May Roberts.
 Miss May Roberts denied that her brother asked for buggy house key on April 26 and was slre buggy was not used that night. Her brother had gone to Armstrong Springs some time in April and she had telephoned him. Family didn't have a spade as alleged by Gregory.
 Miss Bessie Roberts, 9 years old, and the youngest girl of the family, in which a mother, three sisters and two brothers are all supported by John Roberts, also testified in corroboration of her sisters story.
 ED TAYLOR ON STAND.
 Ed c. Taylor, clerk at the Cap- ital hotel in Little Rock, testified that Roberts was a guest there April 27, day following alleged robbery. The defense were slip ped up on here and a letter to Taylor introduced, wherein Rob- erts asked for an examination of the register for April 25, 26, 27, and asked that the request be treated as strictly confidential. ROBERTS AT ARMSTRONG SPRINGS.
 Will Dickey, Iron Mountain conductor, testified that Roberts and Doctor Faust were at hotel in Armstrong Springs, night of April 26.
 Mrs. E. J. Scantling of Mem- phis also testified of Roberts wis., it at Armstrong on that date, and witness had a game of finch with defendant until after Il o'clock that night.
 Will Ligon, son of Uncle Jack, who runs the hotel at Armstrong, also testified that John V. stayed there the night of April 26 and left early next morning to catch a train for Little Rock.
 MT. Andrews then took hold of this witness, ascertaining that he was under indictment for sell l ipor xubickov tO which u11astiOn

Costly Trade War in Railway Cars.

Steel Car Company to declare the quarterly
dividend on the common stock at their
meeting in New York, Wednesday last, has
brought to light the fact that there Is at
present in progress among the principal
railroad car building companies of the
country very aggressive trade war; which
has cut heavily into their earnings All
sorts of cars, including freight and passen-
ger cars, are now being sold at bargain
prices Where in boom times premiums
were paid for space" or preference by one
railroad over another, the situation has so
completely reversed itself that the car man

Fishermen Emphatic.

Admiral Rojestvensky's statements are
dismissed az absolutely inaccurate and I'M
worthy of the slightest consideration in
London. The fishermen are emphatic in de-
claring that it can be proved beyond doubt
that there we're no japanese torpedo boats
in the vicinity Of Dogger Bank. Further,
they point out that the Baltic squadron was
thirty miles out of its proper course with
the result that the vessels steamed into the
midst of tie trawlers; and this is the only
foundation, they assert, for the allegation
that the transport Anatol was surrounded
by unknown vessels. At Cardiff, it is stat
ed that German vessels loading coal for
Rr sian account are said to be fastening
their departure for fe0r that an outbreak
of war will result in an embargo being
placed upon the export of British coal

Public Confidence in Rojestvensky.

Popular excitement has reached pitch
vi equaled stree the beginning of the war
Public sympathy and confidence undoubted-
ly are with Admiral Rojestvensky, and
should Russia choose to stand upon his
version without further inquiry there is no
question but such a course would be popu-
lar with the masses, who would be willing
to back the government in the controversy
to the utmost extremity. 1t is most I'M
likely, however, that the government Will
adopt such a course. 1t is much more
probable that after the first flush of ex-
citement has faded middle way will be
found whereby the facts can be established
and the national pride of both countries be
NJ aiIed.

Story of Chartered Ships.

The Copenhagen correspondent OF the AS
sociated Press learns that the Danish min
istry of marine was informed that several
ships were chartered by the Japanese at
Hull and intended to attack the Russian
second Pacific squadron in the North sea.
The Russians were informed of this. The
marine authorities here credit the report.
The Danish ministery was officially inform
ed that thirteen Swedish vessels had been
chartered by the japanese to attack the
Russian squadron in the Baltic. A Danish
CT user and a torpedo boat watched the yes
cels SO closely that their approach to the
Russian squadron was impossible.
While thus engaged the Danish torpedo
boat Hayhasten had narrow escape. The
commander of a Russian battle ship mis-
took the Danish torpedo boat for an enemy
and fired blank shot. The quickness of the
torpedo boat in displaying its flag saved it.
This happened at night time. When the
captain of the torpedo boat boarded the
battle ship he found large quantities of am
mun:tion piled ready for use. This incident
was reported to the Danish marine minis
ter at the time. Danish war ships acted as
police for the Russian squadron until the
latter reached the North Sea.

Hayashi Says Story is False.

Baron Hayasni. the japanese minister to
Great Britain, was asked in London last
,ifht by the Associated Press for his side
of the statement from Copenhagen that the
Danish ministry of marine was informed
recently that several ships were chartered
at Hull by the Japanese government to at
tack the Russian Baltic squadron, and that
thirteen Swedish vessels had also been
Chartered by Japan for the same purpose.
The japanese minister said that no ship
had been chartered by his government from
Hull or elsewhere to destroy the Baltic
squadron. The chartering and armng of
thirteen ships, Baron Hayashi said, would
be impossible in these waters. 1t would
have been necessary to man them with
japanese and there are not enough japanese
here. At Hull, the minister added, there are
two japanese studying the curing of fish.
Minister Hayashi said the whole story must
have been cOncocted in order to throw dust
in the eyes of the Danish minister of marine
and OF the world.
