Tom Wakefield Acquitted.

Greenville, May 5.-The jury
in the trial of Tom Wakefield for
the murder Of Hicks, after two
hours deliberation, returned 9
verdict Of not guilty.
Wakefield was charged with ha,
ing shot and killed James E Hicks
near the old Block house, which,
is located near the. North Caro-
lima line. The two brothers, Tom
and Ed Wakefield, J E Sprouse
and Hicks were together around
campfire on the night or Feb
ruary II, 1904, when the two
Wakefelds and Hicks had hot
words, followed by Hicks being
shot with a pistol. The defense
claimed that Ed Wakefield fired
the fatal shot, and that the de-
fcndant, Tom Wakefield, had no
pistol and did not lay hauds upon
Hicks. After the two Wakefelds
were captured they escaped from
the custody Of the officers by
jumping from a railroad train in
North Carolina, and Ed Wake
field has never been recaptured.
Tom was captured some time
after his escape, and was tried
here at the January term Of the
court. A mistrial was the result
of that trial, and for the second
time he was placed on trial for
his life.
Hicks was a section boss in a
Union cotton mill, and went to a
place near the scene of the killing
in company with six other men
from his town, to a cooking main.
1t was said that the whole crowd
was drinking, and directly follow
ing the breaking up Of the cock
fight the tragedy occurred.

toward her own development.
There is a series of stunts-one can

ductory to the dancing lessons. OF course
1t is taken for granted that the pupil has
already mastered the social dances, the
waltz. the polka, lancers and others; and
If she has not. she Is turned over TO an
assistant and told TO learn them with
the least possible delay.
The bending exercises nrc important
as preliminary, and the pupil Is taught
to bend the body gracefully at every con-
ceivable angle, standing first on both
feet, afterward on one only. Next come
the exercises for arm and leg. The lat
ter is taken first. After raising them
selves "heel-and-toe" fashion In unison,
next 1t Is done alternately, and the effect
OF seeing large class doing this In rows
is enough TO make the onlooker feel sea-
sick, Next the knee Is stiffened, and
the whole leg Is held straight out until
the toe Is at the level of the waistline'
This Is not so easy as 1t looks, ana taxes
a little time to acquire.
Now, with the foot in this position, the
pupil is expected to turn a complete cir

this, but pretty soon she will be able to
turn 30 gently and gradually on the
other that she will seem to move as on
pivot, the foot describing the circle,
and she must maintain a pleasing smile
all the time, The eid-time masters In
sisted upon this "smile that won't come
off" but their pFesentday successors are
not overly strenuous In demanding It,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

And with this pivot exercise thers
comes the first intimatlons of what part
the arms are expected to take In the
dance The beginner wildly and awk-
wardly throws and filings her arms In all
directions, hoping against hope that she
may maintain her balance in this wise.
But pretty soon she heeds the shoutel
directions of the master, and begins TO
see that her arms are expected to do
their share in making the poetry of mo-
tion which the dance demands.
All of this is done without the slightest
musical accompa niment: but when tho
votary of dancing gets this far she has
already mastered the prellminaries. We
shall not touch here upon the breathing
exercises, the stretching stunts and tho
like which are regarded as essential In
the coming premiere ballerina's course Of
instruction; they are quite another story.
One of the prettiest of the first lessons

any originality in her Is bound to show
it. The conventional trols temps, or

to use her arms In eonsonance with the

DANCING AN ITEM
TO GRACEFULNESS

The girl who can dance, and dance at
tractively, is alwr- sure of my num-
Der of invitations to festive little din
ners among her own set; to house par
ties in the country over the weekend,
or longer, and to all sorts of festivities
and entertainments in the summer time,
from a roughing-it time in the Adiron-
dack camp TO a cruise on well-appointed
steam yacht, with all the stretch of in
vitations that will fit in well between.
Doubtless there is something In what
old Francioli. the famous ballet master.
used to say He claimed that all OF his
best pupils-and they were not all pro-
fessionals. by any means-were inVari-
ably interesting conversationalists.
''Twinklng tongue and a twinkling wit
usually go with twinkling toes" the old
man used to announce with sly smile;
and there Is no doubt that his pupils
well bore out the truth OF his obserVa-
tion. The physical exercises involved in
learning dancing seem 10 timber the
tongue. quicken the brain. and give the
air Of alertness that Il fetching In the
extreme.
One has only 10 go back 10 ths days

tree of the craze for skirt dancing. The
same old Italian master already quoted.
Francioli, was responsible for the best
dancers of that famous pany.
For the girl who would go and do like
wise the first thing is to find out
whether she has any sense Of rhythm in
her composition. Let her hum some
dance air and try an original step or two
with IT. The habanera from Carmen"
is a dance that can be interpreted in Q
thousand different ways. 1t is only the
rhythm Of 1t that remains the SAM
throughout. So humming this air let
her try before her mirror Just what she
can do with It. II she finds that she
cannot really and truly lose herself In
the mnzes that this aIiurlnR music con
jures mp. then she would better renounce
the ambition 10 be a dancer. and seek
her metier elsewhere.
But for the girl who has a strong
sense Of rhythm. she who is swayed by
music. 10 whom the motion Of music ap-
psals. shs wouid better Jose no time In
putting herself under the instruction OF
soma good tsaebsF. All of ths larger
towns nowadays have some teacher 0F

Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

After all, to the girl with temperament,
an ear for music and sense of rhythm,
the fancy dance becomes a thing of in
stnct rather than learning. Society
smiles upon the fancy dance done in the
conventional evening gown: and the
graceful management of her draperies
