johnson and Shelton Chieves, Of Peters
burg, The clerk. Mr.. Duke, then read
the Indictment charging the accused with
the murder of his wife, Mrs. Fannie Z.
McCue, on September 4 last. and the
prisoners plea of not guilty. The gun
with which Mrs. McCue was slain, and
other grewsome relics of the tragedy
which shocked Virginia from mountains
to tidewater, were brought into court.
The name of the first witness for the
prosecution, DIR. Frank G. McCne,
brother of the prisoner, was called, and
it looked as if the actual trial was at last
under way.
Before the witness could be sworn,
however, John l.. Lee, George +.
Walker and G.. Burnley Sinclair, associ-
ate counsel for the defense, were seen 10
conversation with Mr.. Harmon, who ap-
peared to be leaning heavily on the arm
OF his chair. All four of the lawyers
then arose and, asking to be excused for
a few minutes, left the courtroom.
Iu short time all of them returned
except Mr.. Harmon, Mr.. Lee said that
he was very sorry to report that Mr..
Harmon's physical condition made it
impossible for him to continue in the
case. Court then adjourned until today.
The physicians agreed that Mr.. Har-
mon would not be able to go into the
case within 30 days, and great many
believe that Judge Morris will grant
postponement for that length of time,
although the court has given no init.
nations of what is to be done. If de-
lay is to occur, it will be very much
regretted.
Charlottesville, Va, Del. 25.-When
court convened at 10 o'clock this morn
ing the permanent retirement of Daniel
Harmon, chief counsel for McCue, who
is charged with the murder of his wife,
vas announced. Mr.. Harmon is i'll and
an attorney from Lynchburg, Mr.. Cole
man, will take his place.
DR.. Frank G. McCue, the prisoners
brother, went on the stand as the first
witness. He testified to having received
a 'phone message from the prisoner on
the night of the murder, saying that he
had been assaulted and his wife probably
killed. DR.. McCue went into details as
to what he saw on arriving at his
brothers house. Blood on his brothers
undcrshirt, he presumed, came from
face wound on the. ex-mayor's cheek.
DR.. McCue's testimony varied somewhat
from that he gave at the coroner's in
quest and was more favorable to the
prisoner.
Frank McCpe was on the stand two
hours and proved good witness for the
defense, though he was put on by the
prosecution. He dwelt with especial
emphasis on the dazed condition Of his
brother the night OF the murder.
DR.. S. C.. Venable, who helped ex-
anime Mrs. McCue's body, was called as
the next witness. 1t is said that be will
contradict some statements of DR.. Nc
Cue.

Kept Wife in Cage.

The wife of an oil merchant
named Kund, at Budapesth, was found
Friday by the neighbors behind an iron
grating of window, protesting that her
husband had imprisoned her there.
The police set the woman free and ar
rested her husband, who gave as his ex-
cuse that be had been obliged to take
that step because his wife had mania
for making costly and unnecessary pur-
chases, spending fortune on hats, lace
and finery. Her extravaganza, he said,
would have utterly ruined him, and as
he did not wish to separate from her
nothing was left to him but to adopt
strong measures. She was only allowed
to come out on Sunday afternoon, when
the shops were shut. In her quieter
moments the wife allowed that her hus-
band had had justification.

The ACTION OF Admiral Rojestvensky
in attacking the fleet of English fishing
vessels in the North Sea is paralleled in
Don Quixote when the sage of De la
Mancha made his famous descent upon
flock of sheep, which he imagined was
an armed band Of men. 1t seems that
a light from one of the fishing boats was
taken as signal from a Japanese tor
pedo boat. Cervantes' hero on one &C.
casion deserted a barber with a metallic
basin on his head Flooding along a road.
The sun glislened upon the basin when
Don Quixote imaginedit was the helmet
of knight of whose exploits he had
read, and he clspped spurs to Rosinante
and made descent upon the luckless
barber who barely escaped with his life.
Admiral RojestveDsky has long voyage
before him and there is no telling what
innocent craft he may meet. Coal

Rishon Read Riot Act

Buffalo, Oct. 25.-While the Metho-
dist ministers were gathering for their
meeting yesterday to take action prelim-
mary to presenting memorial to the
Board OF Bishops against the assignment
OF ministers in the Genesee conference,
Bishop Thomas B. Medley, of Phila-
delphia, who made the appointments
swooped down upon them. The Bishop
read the riot act TO the ministers, in an
unsuccessful effort to deter them from
their purposes. The memorial will be
presented to the Board of Bishops, which
begins its session in New Haven, Conn.,,
today. Much anger was displayed and
voices we're pitched high during the
ministers meeting, which lasted four
hours, and it left rancor and heart burn
ings on each side. The Bishop an
nounced there would be no revoking OF
appointments. The preachers do not
intend to ask for any changes. They
say they are fighting for principal not
for individual men or specific churches.
The meeting came to an end with the
Bishops and ministers in an angry
frame of mind, and the memorial to the
Board of Bishops remaining intact.

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Morocco Kidnapping Affair.


1t is rumored that the United States
may receive a concession on the west
coast of Africa in return for recog-
nizing France in Morocco. and Joining
hands with Great Britain to assure
Frances suzerainty over the Sultan
of Morocco. over the protests OF
Spain, Germany and Italy.
The United States will maintain Its
great naval front at Tangier and will
be backed by British ,warships. France,
the United States and Great Britain
will care nothing for protests whether
or not the other nations agree to the
handing of Morocco over to France.
These are the inside developments
in the great drama which is being
played by the United States, France
and Great Britain over the rescue OF
lon Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley,
who are held by the Moorish chief,
Raisuli. Diplomats here therefore are
willing to connect the recent visit OF
the U. s. S. Marietta to Gibraltar with
the immediate news to-day that the
British government had decided to
send a warship to Tangier. 1t is now
miral Chadwick, saying that the pres
ence of the whole American fleet at
Tangier was "salutary," meant simply
that IL he had not been there in force
there would have been an anti-Chris-
tian riot. 1t is also believed the reli-
gious frenzy of the Moors is the out
cropping of their general antipathy TO
Christians.
The news from Rear Admiral Chad
wick to-day is that the British consul
at Tangier has cabled the British gov
ernment for warship. and 1t will be
dispatched from Gibraltar. This shows
that Great Britain had changed her
mind and that she now believes that
force or display of force will be nee
essary at Tangier.
The situation in Morocco is therefore
of as much Importance as was the Man
churian situation before the war be
tween Russia and Japan. The United
States may be called upon to play an
important part in the issue, irrespec
tive of the rescue of Ion Perdicaris and
his stepson. Germany, Spain and
Italy object to the suzerainty oi
France over Morocco. and the align
ment now appears to be the United
States, Great Britain and France
against the rest of Europe, the United
States and her allies asserting the
protectorate of France over Morocco
High interests are at stake because
it is believed that out of it will come
the recognition of the United States
at some point to be yet determined OF
the west coast of Africa. 1t is known
that the United States will send Jew
ellis squadron toward this coast imme
diately after the settlement of the Per
| dicaris question. Diplomats here lool
for the firm establishment of the Unit
cd States in the near future on the west
coast of Africa.
