 Camden, Nov. 13-(Staff Correspon- dence )-John Andrews sat ana heard today perhaps the bitterest and ferc- est arraignment a white man ever heard in an Alabama court room De- fore he saw the jury which holds In It's hand life and death for him file out to make up It's verdict tonight.
 Held as responsible for the inhuman murder of Bama Andrews and of his father, Jim Andrews, by Solicitor Thompson and Colonel W. W. Quaries' as no man was ever before denounced. John Andrews was denounced Tn the old and historic court house of Cam den. He was pictured as an infamous, cowardty creature, his putrid breath filled with venom. and the blood or ms body seething with murder and Ven- eeance. And one of the prosecuting attorneys. in the midst of a nerce ar, raignment cried out: Hang him! Hang him! Burning at the stake IS none too good for him!'
 Andrews sat throughout this ar raienment with a defiant if uneasy look in his eyes and with his face ghastly pale. His face during the trial mas grown perceptibly paler and paler du- ring the time, and during the bitter attacks made upon the prisoner his un- happy wife sat at his side holding In her arms the babe that was born since the horrible murder of December IT. se8 Jim Andrews Arraigned.
 ; Hardly less scathing was the criti- cisms of the attorneys for the defense of Jim Andrews, the father of the de- fendant and the husband of the mur- dered woman. He was called Drunk en-" drink -crazed' and brutal.
 He was held responsible for the bloody violence in which Bama An arews lost her life and in which him. self went down to his death.
 That he, as one of the defendants 8 attorneys expressed it, conspired with himself to renounce Rama Andrews was one of the most important fea- lures of the able defense which was built up for John Andrews.
 A peculiarly intelligent and able de- fense has been presented for Andrews. ,The contrad dlctorys nature of the~sevi- dence. the violent. iawless character of Jim Andrews. his evident lead in the dastard1y scheme of removing Rama Andrews, have been emphasized and brought before the jury.
 A fine presentation of this side with It's various phases was made by the at torneys for Andrews.
 The case against Bob Andrews will of a necessity be postponed until the next term. of court.
 / With two other capital cases set this , week there Is no time to try 1t. If by any chance John Andrews should be acquitted, he will be tried on the other indictment charging the murder of his father.
 Large Crowd on Hand.
 The word had been passed around that the speeches would be made in the Andrews case Monday. This word drew 8 great crowd to the court. People got up before daybreak and rode, some of them fifteen and eighteen miles to hear the arguments.
 They were expecting and oratorical treat. It was not often that they. had an opportunity of sitting under such high class eloquence. It Is not often that such legal and oratorical ability is enlisted in one criminal case. So scores of people who rode into town in the hours of a cold November morning had their expectations keyed up to high pitch. Nor were the expectations dis appointed.
 No limit was put upon the speakers. They were allowed to say all they had to say regardless of time. The States attorneys, Solicitor J. F. Thompson and Col. W. W. Quarles, agreed that the third attorney on the side of the de- fense might speak, and so the defend ants side was presented by J. N. Mill Ter, E. N. and P. E. Jones.
 Colonel QuarIes Opens.
 Tn DeRlnn1nk SpeQk1n8, COlOneI Our rles said he wished to submit a proposition of law to the court for it's consideration. He submitted that if a conspiracy had been found formed for the purpose of taking away the chil- dren of James Andrews. 1t would have been unlawful, and if in the carrying out of that design murder or homicide should be committed. the participants in that conspiracy should share in the responsibilities and penalties of the crime.
 Colonel Quarles took up the testi- mony and analysed it from the time the fatal telegram was sent until Bob and John Andrews summoned the neighbors to the dead. He dwelt exhaustively up- on the evidence which tended to show the conspiracy charged by the State
 'Whe the honest, Go1-fearing neigh bors. called from their occupation, or from their beds. got to that bloody scene, they found Bob and John An drews masters of the situation and in possession of the dead. They had pos session of the bodies before the mur- der, during the murder and after the murder. If they had been found with the dead bodies of two boys and were on trial, they would be required to give to you, as a jury. a satisfactory expla- nation. But in this case of murder have they explained those dead bodies nave In0y SaltSACu yOus
 He pointed out that if the jury be- lieYed the evidence of John Adrews they would have to brand as liars each of the half dozen witnesses who testi. fled as to John Andrews's movements after he left Repton. The testimony of each of these witnesses contradicted in every detail the statement of John An drews.
 The Deadly Number {.
 Colonel Quarles enlarged upon the deadly significance of the No. to John An irews. He asked for a round of cart. ridges at Repton, but got only four How many shots were fired at the scene of the brutal murder? The fatal four that sent their echo of damning con. dition to John Andrews as far as Rep. ton.
