Other Witnesses Examined.
aIf. IeSchau next placed DIR. DoSher.
of Southport, upon the stand for the
purpose of proving that Scott testified
at the preliminary tria. hat Adams
had nothing to do with the mutiny.
He stated that Scott said that Adams
had but little to Go with the killing.
Witness stated that i.e WIS ONLY three
or four feet from witness and could
plainly hear what lie said.
Mr.. Weeks from Southport said at
the preliminary trial that Scott said
Adams did not kill any one and had
but little to do with the killing.
This was not in accordance with
statements made by Scott when on the
stand Saturday.
The defense rested after above W.T.
ness had been examined and Captain
Taylor was next put on the stand OFF
the United States. He testified that
SCOTS testimony was pretty near
same as at Southport. Adams, he
said, according to Scott helped to plan
the affair but did not have much to.
do with carrying it out.
The district attorney offered the
official log in evidence but objection
was made by Mr.. Peschau. Judge
Purnell said he desired to look up some
decisions before passing upon the mat
ter and that he would adjourn court
until $50 this a. m.
Goes to Jury Today.
Ere today's sun sets Adams and
Sawyer will in all probability know
their fate. 1t may be conviction with
CIT any recommendation or it may be
acquittal. There is another verdict
that can be rendered in a United States
court-a verdict of guilty of murder
with recommendation Of a term of i'm
prisOnment. In the state courts muir
der is divided into several degrees but
not SO in the United States courts.
There are extremely few who think
Adams and Sawyer will be hanged for
nearly every person who has heard the
evidence has grave doubts az to their
guilt. AS to Scott, no doubt is eX-
pressed.
The jury that will have TO pass upon
this case have before them II of the
most peculiar cases eve tried in the
United States and one of Importance
because of it being so unusual and the
crime so great.
Taking 1t Easy.
The Jurors are suffering no incOn-
venience, not being required to sleep
in the court house u are stopping at
The Orion being in charge of a deputy
marshal. Marshal Dockery gave them
a trip to the Sound Sunday and they
had a pleasant afternoon down by the
ocean. On Sunday night n of the
jurors was taken i'll and it became nee
essary to summon a physician. The
prescription when received consisted
principally of a small vile of whiskey.
All the Jurors were in attendance yes
terday so the prescription must have
brought around the juror.
