K'Iso and Ouk. Triumph.

The celebrated civil suit of Gattis
against Kilpo, which has been on
trial at Raleigh, N. c., for week,
suddenly ended on the evening of
June 18th in a non-suit, Judge
Moore granting the motion of the
defendants counsel to dismiss.
Gattis, superannuated Methodist
preacher, former colportuer in South
Carolina and part of North Carolina,
sued DIR. Kilgo, president of Trinity
College, Durham, N. c., and Benja-
min N. Duke, of Durham, for $780,
900 damages for alleged slander and
libel charged to have been made in q
speech made by DIR. Kilgo in 1898,
while defending himself in an in
vestigation before the trustees of
Trinity from charges brought by
Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the
North Carolina Supreme Court, who
was then trustee of Trinity Col
lege. DR.. Kilgo came out of that
investigation fully vindioated' and ao-
Quilted and Clark resigned as trus-
tee. Gattis is said to have aided and
abetted Clark at that time.
The Gattis suit against DR.. Kilgc,
Benjamin N. Duke and B. r. O'Dell
has been in the courts over six years.
There have been four separate trials
of the case. Two of them were re-
manded to the Supreme Court on sp-
peal and one was set aside by the
Judge of the lower court, because the
verdict of the jury allowed "exces-
sive damages" 100000. This time
Gattis and his sureties are also taxed
with the costs, which must be enor-
nous.
Gattis's lawyers include several of
the best ones in the State, one of
whom is Cyrus u. Watson, once
Democratic nominee for Governor,
and who two years ago escaped cleo
ton to the United States Senate by
the skin of his teeth.
President Kilgo's attorneys in
cluded James H. Pou, of Raleigh,
who is accounted to be one of the
smartest lawyers in North Carolina
and one of the most eloquent men in
the State, and Ex-Governor Charles
B. Aycock and several others less
distinguished.
When the appeal that was filed is
tried in the Supreme Court Chief
Justice Clark will, of course, not sit
in the case. The friends of President
kilgo and Mr.. Duke are showering
them with verbal and telegraphic
congratulations.

Beginning Early in Pickens.

We clip the following from the
Pickens Sentinel-J Journal of June
21st. The editorial admonition at
the close is advice that must be taken
by the people wherever the dispen-
saries are closed if they wish the
law enforced
"We are having prohibition liquor
in abundance and expect some gov
ernment stills to start at once. A
foot dispensary,' with good sized
hand satchel, was perambulating
around yesterday, and some of his
associates showed that they had in
dulged too freely in bug juice c."
We do not see why you call it
"prohibition" liquor unless you mean
the law prohibits the sale of it ex-
cept through the dispensary. If you
mean it as fling, will say the dis
pensary is still open and the consta-
bles are working in this county. Fur
ther, YOU had perfect right to
cause the arrest of this "foot dispen-
sary," and if your town marshal or
your magistrates constable refused
to make the arrest there is law to
reach them for not doing their duty.
No, &C." help to uphold the law b.
all means and at all hazards. Editor

OF THE DEATH OF SUSANNA CEARY,
Sentence to Be Pronounced Later--=
DR.. Mcleod Pleads Not Guilty
===He is Now on Trial.

Howard was arraigned first and at
once pleaded guilty to the charge of
accessory after the fact to the death
of Miss Geary. A moment later Craw-
ford also pleaded guilty. Both were
remanded to Jail to await sentence.
A jury was quickly impanelled to
try Mcleod who previously had plead
ed not guilty. The indictment charges
Mcleod with having been an accessory
to the act of performing the illegal
operation which resulted in Miss
Geary's death, and also with being an
accessory to the concealment of the
crime.
In opening for the prosecution, Mr..
Sughrue described the operations alleg-
ed to have been performed on the
young woman and her death. Then he
said
THE defendant at first proposed to
bury the body in the cellar. but after
ward, because of some objection. it was
proposed by him that the body be dis
membered and that 1t be thrown into
the sea. That arrangement was made
by this defendant and Mrs. Dean and
the two men who pleaded guilty this
morning, and that arrangement was
carried out. The dress suit cases were
purchased. This defendant placed the
parts in them and turned them over to
Crawford and Howard to be thrown in
to the water and that was DONE"
The finding of the first suit case and
its delivery to and reception by the po-
lice We're described. Medical Examiner
Francis H. Harris testified that death
had resulted from peritonitis due to
blood poisoning
Mrs. Geary. mother of the dead GIRL
and her two remaining daughters were
among the persons in the court room.
They occupied seats almost within an
arms length of DR.. Mcleod during the
proceedings.
AT the afternoon session of the court,
Mrs. Catherine Geary. the girls mother,
took the stand formally to identity the
victim of the tragedy as her daughter,
Susanna Agnes Geary.
Other witnesses to testify were
Joseph Berkman the pawnbroker who
sold one of the suit cases to Crawford.
and Timothy J. Howard. a cabman.
who testified to having driven Craw-
ford and Howard to the Chelsea ferry
on the night of Sept. 10. when the suit
cases and contents were thrown into
the harbor. Howard identified Craw-
ford and Hunt in court as the men who
had ridden in his carriage.
Prof. William F. Whitney of the Har-
ward Medical School presented the re-
suits of his examination Of the parts of
the victims body and giving his opinion
that death was due to peritonltis fol-
lowing blood poisoning.

Federal Court Decides
Il Has No Jurisdiction
In Case Of Mrs. Mary Rogers,
the Convicted Murderess.
No Chance Of Postponement Of the Date Of
Execution No Comment by Counsel.

Washington, Nov. 27-The supreme
court of the United States decided, to-
day, it is without jurisdiction in the
Mrs. Mary Rogers case. The court
affirmed the decision of the United
States district court of Vermont
Mrs. Rogers is under sentence of
death in Vermont for the murder of
her husband. The effect of the deci-
sion will be to again place the rcspon-
sibility of dealing with the case in the
hands of the state authorities, and if
in the meantime neither the governor
nor the state courts take action in Mrs.
Rogers behalf her execution must oc-
cur on the day set which is Dec. 8
next.
The court held. in effect, that it was
without jurisdiction in all points rails
ed.
In his opinion, Justice Day laid no
stress upon the sex of Mrs. Rogers but
dealt with the case upon purely legal
grounds.
Reciting the pages in the case he
took up the efforts made in the wo-
mans behalf, holding each in turn to
be ineffective.
The point that Mrs. Rogers has been
held in solitary confinement for more
than three months he said the record
does not show that she is SO held
though admittedly held in close con-
finement.
This course was. he said, within the
rights of the state and could not be
used as ground for interference by the
federal court. He also said that the
state supreme court could not be re-
quired to fix a time for execution, for
whether the state supreme court should
sit in Bennington county is a matter
of state practice officially and also
that there is no merit in the contention
that fixing a date for execution when
granting a reprieve is a violation of
the federal statutes. The opinion in
the case concluded with an order that
the mandate issue at once. This will
obviate the raising of the question of
possible postponement of the day of
execution.

GOV. BELL WILL NOT INTERFERE.
No Further Reprieve Will be Granted
Mrs. Mary Rogers.

Walden, VT, Nov. 27-Gov. Charles
j. Bell, when informed. today, of the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the case of Mrs. Mary Rogers,
stated that he stood on the same
ground that he had maintained here
tofore in this case.
Il shall not interfere in any way"
he said with the regular arrange
ments for the execution of Mrs. Rogers
on the date set. Dec. 81
Gov Bell has steadfastly refused to
grant a reprieve to Mrs. Rogers at
any time except for the purpose of al
lowing further legal steps to be taken.
Now that those steps apparently are
exhausted he will grant no further re-
prieVe.

Boston, Nov. 27.-The trial of DR..
Percy d. Mcleod, one of the persons
under indictment as an accessory after
the fact to criminal operation upon
Susanna Geary, the victim of the ia
nous suit case tragedy. and also with
illegal disposing of body, began, to-
day, in the superior criminal court. Pre-
vious to enpaneling the jury, Louis r.
Crawford and William E. Howard
alias Hunt, were arraigned in the same
case and pleaded to being accessories
after the fact to the performance of a
criminal operation. Both were remand
ed to Jail to await sentence, but Craw-
ford was subsequently brought back IN
to the court room and was the princi-
pal witness of the day against Mcleod.
After Dr. Mcleod had pleaded not
guilty, the jury was quickly ernpan-
elled and first listened to the testimony
of Medical Examiner Harris. DR.. Harris
described the condition of the body and
stated that the Immediate cause of
death was peritonitis.
Mrs. Geary, mother of the girl, iden-
titled the victim of the tragedy as her
daughter, and also number of letters
from her daughter. -
The third witness was Morris Nathan,
the girls lover, who admitted his re-
sponsibility for the girls condition.
The interest in the trial, however, to-
day, centered in the testimony of
Crawford. He stated that he was IA
'miiar visitor at the office Of Mrs. DR..
Jane Bishop, where it is claimed the
illegal operation on the Geary girl was
performed, and that he had seen DR..
Mcleod at the Office once or twice
week for the past four years. He
claimed that he had nothing whatever
to do with the operation upon the girl,
but that it was performed by Mrs.
Dean, for whom the local authorities
are searching. He said that the day
before Miss Geary died in the RoXbrry
house where she was taken. DIR. Nc
Leod and Mrs. Dean agreed that death
was only Il question of a few hours and
that the body must be disposed oe in
some manner. DIR. Mcleod suggested
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. At DR.. McLeods di-
rection, Crawford said. that he pur-
chased the suit cases and on the day Of
Miss Geary's death carried them to the
house. DR.. Mcleod took them up stairs
and re-appcared in about half an hour.
He told Crawford and his companion
Howard, that he had placed the trunk
in the larger case, the limbs in the
smaller, and the head in the small bag.
Crawford and Howard then took the
bag and cases and that night threw
them into the harbor Crawford said
that ne received $115 from persons in
tine Bishop office.
He met DIR. Mcleod the next day and
the latter said that he failed to re-
move the girls rings, but that he
thought it would be all right.
The trial will continue, tomorrow.
Mrs. Mary S. Dean, the fourth per-
son indicted in connection with the
case, has, not yet been arrested.
