W. |. NORDEN APPEALS
ABBEVILLE MAN CONVICTED OF
 KILLING HIS WIFE,
Supreme Court Grants Him Motion te Establish BilI of Exceptions. Story of q Helnoua
 Crime.

When counsel for Walter L. Norden. of Abbeville, made a motion yesterday before the Alabama Supreme Court to establish a bill of exceptions, the story of the heinous crime for which the de- fendant has been convicted was recall ed to mind.
 The Supreme Court granted the motion.
 Norden was convicted af administer ing strychnine to his wife. Nola Nor den, January 30, 1902. He was tried by the Henry County Circuit Court and was sentenced to life imprison- ment.
 The trial of Norden brought out some sensational testimony. On the day named, witnesses testified. he affected much sympathy for his wife, who was suffering from severe headache at their home in Abbeville.
 About 1 o'clock Norden returned from drug store with what he represented to his wife as being headache medi- cine. Some time later in the after noon the woman was found in convuI- sions from which she soon died.
 At the eoroner's inquest. suspicion was thrown about W. L. Norden, the husband. and he was arrested. The stomach of his wife was sent to the State Chemist who made test of the contents. The test revealed the presence of stFychnine.
 Norden married his wife under sean dalous circumstances. This was in- troduced in the trial as a motive to dispose of her.

Another Port for Montgomery.

One of the visitors to Montgomery is Dr. Edwin D. Newton, of Panacea Springs, Fla. Dr. Newton lived the greater part of his life in Athens, Ga., and has a great many friends in Mont gomery, who knew him in that classic Georgia city. He is the only surviving member of General Lees headquarters' medical staff. Dr. Newton owns con siderable interest in Tallapoosa County along the banks of the river and very near the great dam which is part of the electric work which supplies this city with light and power. He Is greatly interested in the completion of the road which starts at the Gulf port Car abelle, Fla, and at present stops at Cuthbert, Ga. The road Is owned by J. P. williams & Co.. of Savannah, and is headed for Columbus, Ga. Engineers are at work on the road between Co., lumbus and Cuthbert and 1t Is expected that the gap will be completed to Rich land on the Seaboard Air Line and by use of that road from Richland to Co., lumbus it is contemplated to have a conn ection from Columbus to Carra- belle by the 1st of October, in time for the next fall and winter business. It is the intention to build on from Richland to Columbus, thus having a straight line to the Gulf port.
 This new road offers another port to Montgomery as at Richland connec- ton is made with the Seaboard Air Line and of course traffic arrange ments are always in order between the railroads. Carrabelle has a water depth of twenty-one feet six inches at ordinary tide and is destined to con- siderable commercial importance.

Pekin. Jan. 20.-A high official of the Chinese Foreign Ofice said in an interview today that the neutrality of China was assured now as hitherto Every precaution had been taken, the official declared, and he could only suppose that the present Russian com plaints were intended to constitute a pretext for further demands as com pensation for the loss of Port Arthur. The official emphatically denied that there was any connection between Chi nese neutrality and anti-foreign feel ing, instancing the prompt suppression of the disturbance at Shanghai in con- nection with the delay in bringing to trial the Russian sailors who killed 9 Chinaman there as the result of dis pute about the hire of a jinriksha-

The conditions are all changed here. We have an abundance and variety of food never dreamed of in an Oriental home We do not need wine. The wine in common use is doctored and more highly alcoholized. The climatic conditions are different. They predis- pose to excess. Excess Is the rule. In- temperance prevails.
 Under these conditions, total abstin- 'ence is our duty to self and neighbor.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-01-21

No argument for wine-drinking in our country, under present social con- ditions, can be constructed from this incident. In the Orient wine is staple food. Its use is a matter of dietettcs. In its quality it is not. as a rule, high ly alcoholized. The making of wine in Cana does not justify the use of 1t in Chicago.

NO NEWS FROM VENEZUELA.

OYama at lie Pass.

The Russian rear guard is now at
Sipinghai, 20 miles north of Tie Pass
The Japanese are slowly pursuing, but
are not energetically pressing the
rear. Apparently Field Marshal Oy-
ANA is holding his main army at Tie
Pass.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press after the renewal of the Russian
headquarters from Tie Pass remained
with the rear guard some days with
out telegraphic facilities. Extensive
preparations to carry out the plan of
retreat were made by Generals Kuro-
patkin, Linevitch, Bilderling and Kaul-
bars, and were successfully carried
out. On March 10 Kuropatkin, con
sidering that the army was safe, de-
parted for Harbin, but having sub
sequently decided to remain as com
mander Of the first army, reached here
today, receiving a great ovation at the
railroad station and acknowledging
the cheering by short speech in
which he expressed the hope that the
army would soon be able to relieve its
reverses.

st. Petersburg, March 2Z.-1:55 pm.
The retreat of the Russian army, from
the latest reports, evidently is being
conducted in a splendid fashion. In
four days actual marching after leav,
ing Tie Pass the rear guard has called
back 10 miles and the heads of the
columns are already entering Gun
shu Pass, 40 miles further north, keep
ing UP with the Japanese column,
marching north over the Grand Trade
route. With the bridges and railroad
destroyed behind the Russians, the
Japanese are unable to press the rear,
and according to information received
from the front it is believed that the
bulk of Field Marshal Oyama's army
is still at Tie Pass, the flanlling col,
umn being comparatively weak. This
news may however, prove incorrect.
For two days there has been some
skirmishing accompanied by artillery
exchanges between the Japanese on
the Grand Trade route and the Rus
SLAMS screening the retreat, showing
that they are in constant contact.
Many military men here believe
that General Linevitch while prepared
to withdraw to Hardin, will attempt
to hold the line from Kiuchantin to
Kirin to control the rich Sungari val,
ley as source of supply for the
army. A Japanese advance to Kirin
would be equivalent to the isolation of
Vladivostok
The war Office points out the fact
that General Linevitch was able to
give his troops a day of rest as being
the best evidence that complete order
has been restored, and that the stor-
les of demoralized flight are untrue
The Russian press commends Gener-
al Kuropatkin highly for the fine spir-
it which he displayed in returning to
the army in subordinate capacity
declaring that the defeated leader is
more to be pitied than blamed.
