had spoken twenty minutes when court
adjourned. Replying to the claim of
the government that it had showed
the distillery had made fifty thousand
more gallons than it had paid taxes
for, he said he was glad it had planted
itself on some position at last, and
then proceeded to show that the evil
dence of shipments introduced referred
back twelve months before, the diStill-
cry was in operation, showing that
Williams did not depend on the dis
tillery for the Old Nick rectifying
wholesaIing and retailing business, nor
did it get it's supplies entirely from
that distillery even after it was started
UP in July, 1904, one year after the
railroad records of shipments had
been introduced by the government
He strongly criticised the prosecution
for sending to Kentucky and getting
Williams, inVeterate enemy, Minor
bringing him and a party of riva
whiskey men here to run the distill-
cry in the absence of all it's owners
and without notice to them. There
were plenty of honest government Off
GERS and distillers in North Carolina to
have done it. He had just begun
touching up Jones the gauger, when
time for adjournment arrived.
Judge Boyd announced this morn
ing that the next term of Federal
court to begin in Wilkesboro, next
Monday had been continued, and
there would be no court held there
until the next regular term, the fourth

ARREST OF YOUNG WOMACK.
The Young Man Who Killed Mis-,
Marks While Toying With Gun.

Durham. n. c.. Nov. 23.-It IS re-
ported here that Ernest Womack, the
young man who while toying with d
gun which was presumed to be un-
loaded. shot and killed Miss Comic
Marks at a party given at the home of
Lonnie Minis. in Chatham has been
placed under arrest, and that the pre-
liminary hearing of the case will be
held Saturday. Meanwhile Womack
has given bond in the sum of 500 for
his appearance on that date.
1t seems that the young man was
apprehended under the law passed by
the Legislature of 1899 making it a
misdemeanor for one to point a gun,
whether loaded or unloaded. at an
other person.
Since the occurrence or tae Ialdllly
sensational story has been limited
abroad to the effect that the dead girl
and her slayer had formerly been
sweetnearts and that she had Tilted
him, this supposedly furnishing a mo-
tive for the deed. In connection with
the above It IS only justice TO Womack
To say that those who know him besl
utterly discredit the story and assert
that tlle sad affair WAS the result ol
an accident pure and simple. In TINS
opinion all who were present at the
dance seem to share.

cumstances similar to those in this
case his professional opinion would
be that repeated blows of the fist had
caused the death of the person re-
Geiving them. Cross examination
elected the opinion that death with
similar symptoms might be caused by
the stopping of the veins or arteries
IN the brain from causes other than
external injuries, for instance matter
formed by vegetation in the arteries
in other parts of the body being car
ried to the brain. This DR.. Finney
thought was most unlikely in the
present case. In answer to this Judge
Advocate Mark propounded the uues-
ton of whether or not the surgeon
could swear that death was caused
by the effect of the bullet when a man
was shot through the heart and not
by an attack of heart disease just be-
fore the bullet entered the body. DR..
Finney answered that it could not be
positively said unless an autopsy was
held.
Dr. Thomas expressed his positive
conviction that no treatment would
have saved Branch's life and that the
death was caused by the blows he re-
ceived in the fight. Practically the
same hypothetical question and inter-
rOgatOrieS on cross examination were
put to DIR. Thomas as to DR.. Finney
and substantially the same answers
were given.
The members of the court particu-
larly Admiral Mccormick and Captain
Barry, questioned the medical men on
several points, but particularly seemed
anxious to elicit information as to
whether or not it was reasonably GER
tain that Meriwether's blows had
caused the death of Branch and
whether any other cause could be as
signed whether stretching facts be-
yond the bounds of reason.
The prosecution will almost surely
close it's testimony early tomorrow, in
fact it is not Likely that anything
further will be brought out that will
greatly affect the case. The defense
may be elaborate, as it is known that
Lieutenant Commander Robson and
Mr. Monroe, Meriwether's counsel,
have entered into the case with much
vigor and research.
1t is pretty we'll known that an at
tempt will be made to follow out the
line indicated by the ss-examination
of the medical witnesses by direct tes-
timony of other experts on the possi-
bility of organic weakness in Branch
and of these being affected by causes
other than the fight and also of the
effect of the unskilled handling of
Branch after the fight. Moreover it
will undoubtedly be urged that a long
series of prosecutions of Meriwether
by Branch drove the former to seek
fight and that the challenge actually
emanated from Branch.

CORPSE IN TRUNK:
Foul 0dors Lead to it's
Discovery.
Partially Decomposed Body of Mrs
John Hammond Found inan AL.

Missing.
(By the Associated Press. J

Albany, \. Y, Nov. 23.-What an-
pears to be murder committed near
ly two weeks ago and most ghastly
in it's details, was discovered here
this afternoon, when the badly de-
composed body of Mrs. John Ham

in d second story room of her home.
The trunk stood in the fireplace,
and the body within was heavily

three rooms comprising the fiat. and
the cover of the trunk ~yas propped
open, with the evident idea of having

John Hammond, the woman's hus-
band, has not been seen for nearly
two weeks. He is twenty-five years
old, a cabinet maker. The dead wo-
man was fifty-seven years of age
Whether the woman died a natural
death, or was strangled or poisoned
remains for an autopsy to disclose
There were no evidence of marks of
violence on the body, which, when
found was fully clothed. excepting
shoes, and was doubled up in a sit
ting posture, with the face down upon
the knees. The body was bound in
this position with clothes line
Disagreeable odors today drew the
attention of the first floor family to
the Hammond rooms, whence not a
sound had been heard for att east ten
days, and late this afternoon the police
broke in and discovered the body

NEW FRAUD CASES
Several Men are Held in
Heavy Bail.
The investigation of the Vote in The
Recent New York Election Re-
suits in More Ar
rests.
(By the Associated Press.) }

New York, Nov 23.-The magni-
tude of the election fraud inyestga-
ton was increased today by several
new cases. John Elder was held in
$4,000 bail charged with Illegal vot-
ing and purjuryt and James Gallagher
was held in $4,000 bail on a charge
of perjury. Frank d. Batzig, a Tam
.Iany member of a district board of
election inspectors arrested on Il
cnarge or neglect of duty, was held
in 5000 BAH
In many of the districts canvassed
by the board of county canVaSsers of
New York county discrepancies We're
found today, and the Hearst repre-
sentatives claim their candidate gain
ed more than $50 votes. This gain
was disputed however. The canvass
ers are comparing tally sheets with
the police returns. Petitions for re-
count in many districts may be based
on this canvass.
In the examination of disputed bal
lots before Supreme Court Justice
Giegerich today in the eleventh as
sembly district, it was round that there
was a gain of twelve votes for Mayor
Mcclellan, eleven for Hearst and five
for WINS.
Counsel for w. r. Hearst today
raised the legal point that Mayor Nc
Clellan will be mayor of New York
only as d hold over after December
81 next unless Mr.. iearsts fight for
a recount is ended before that time.
This wa said to be due to the fact that
under an order issued last week by
Justice amend, of the Supreme Court,
the board of canvassers of New York
county cannot issue certificate of
election either to Mayor Mcclellan or
the comptroller of board of aldermen
until the proceedings attending the
movement for recount are ended.

great surprise. The boys were each

SLEEK LITTLE KNIFE THIEVES.
Clerk at Odelrs Gathers Them Under
His Wings, and They Use Their
Stolen Blades as Spurs
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., Nov. 23.-A clerk
in the Odell hardware store yesterday
discovered several negro boys stealing
bright new knives from one of the
cutlery show cases in the store. One
little fellow, standing innocently with
his back to the SHOW case while the
others were grouped about asking the
price of various articles would shoot
his little black paw under the guide,
and gobble UP a knife about like
toad swallows shot. Ashe'd got the
coveted small boys delight with the
same lightning like speed it would be
slipped to q pickanniny standing near.
The clerk would probably never have
discovered the knire snatching, but
hearing one of the boys say Dat was
my time he slyly watched them and
saw how it was done. When the boys
left he followed them into the alley
way adjoining, the store and hen-lilH
gathered three of them under his arms.
But the chicks instead of huddling UP
to the warmth of his ;aress, wriggled
out and before he knew it, the chicks
metamorphosed into little black devils
had out their stolen blades and We're
simply carving him INTO tiny gashes.
The clerk managed 10 hold on to one
of the boys while the other two took
to their heels, as help drew near The
boy, big enough to get hold on was
named John Brown. and when he was
locked up the police discovered him to
be a boy they were looking for, for
having a few hours before snatched
$500 out of negro woman's hands
i'm Jake Jones store and heeled IL
from there. There were six kids IN
the Odell cutlery lot and they will
ali be located no doubt.
