scene.

teamsters employed by the Employers
Teaming association. who were delivering
coal to the Majestic hotel for the Daniels
Coal company.

United States marshals arrived. the crowd
was quickly dispersed
Girl messengers riding in carriages
driven by men wearing coaehmens con-
ventional livery, were used by some of the
department stores today to make deliv-
cries of urgent orders.
The ruse worked will and 1t was hours
before the union pickets discovered that
the carriages we're not private convey
ances of well-to-do patrons of the stores.
Union Men viii Carry Arms.
President Shea of the transfers union,
said tonight that If the Employers Team
ing association armed its drivers with
Winchester rifles. he would do the same
with the union drivers,
IF its legal for the non-union to arm
themselves" he said. sit certainly is not
illegal for us to do likewise.
The city council tonight passed a reso-
luton directing the chief of police to
enforce that portion of the state statutes
which prohibits the carrying of rifles in
the streets by unauthorized persons.
Two serious riots took place tonight.
The first was at the intersection Of Har-

Could Have Shot Himself.

Mr.. Levy contended that Young could
have shot himself and disposed of the
murder theory.
IF Young did not shoot himself, then
how did the black spots like powder
marks, get on a finger of his right
hand?" said Mr. Levy.
There were no powder marks found
on her hand. and this indicates that
Young shot himself. If this case was one
of murder. why did not the doctor take
measurements and why was not a photo
graph of the deceased produced as evil
dence to show his build and muscular
developments? Such steps would have
tended to clear up neglected points in
the case
After reviewing the examination of
Julia Smith by Mr.. Rand and declaring
that no frai weak woman could with
stand such an onslaught. Mr.. Levy dis
cussed the alleged purchase of the re-
volver by j. Morgan Smith. He said II
that had been proven the case would
have been greatly changed, but declared
that the failure of Pawnhroker Stern to
Identify Smith brought that phase of the
case to an end. Mr.. Levy said he was
glad the pawn tickets were introduced
in evidence as they showed that Smith
was in the habit Of pawning things at
Stern's and consequently could readily
have been identified by Mr., Stern If he
were the purchaser of the revolver.
Mr. Levy ridiculed the contention of
the district attorney that Young was
marked for slaughter from May 3. He
said If the defendant were mercenary
woman, she would not think of cutting off
the sources of her money.

day, and | heard papa accuse him of the
crime, and he accused papa of It,"
Several other negro witnesses were ex-
amined, all of their testimony being
detrimental to the defendant.
The case against John Collier is set for
hearing on Wednesday morning.
The case against Win Jackson, who was
brought up to Decatur this morning with
Collier and Smith is set for hearing
Thursday morning. He has been indicted

Hundreds of People at Train.
Fifteen hundred or more people lined the
tracks of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad from New Decatur to the depot
in Decatur this morning, when the train
carrying the prisoners and the troops
passed through. Captain Gregory ordered
the special car containing the prisoners
and the soldiers cut off at New Decatur
while the baggage car In charge of three
men was sent on to Decatur. These three
men were abused severely en- rout.
Threats were made against furnishing
rations for the soldiers from Birmingham
this morning. Lieutenant Francis was on
the alert however, and by 2 o'clock had
found a boarding house which agreed to
furnish meals for the men. A local hotel
wanted 81 per day for each man for
meals alone. Under the present conditions
the provisional company Is divided into
two sections at meal times and is drilled
about a mile and a half for mess" Cap
tain Gregory and the other ol,icers have
taken the whole situation good naturedly.

himself to be quite conservative officer,

Detail from Seventh Cavalry.

A detail of eight n-commissioned Of
ficers of the Seventh United States eaval-
ry acted as body bearers. Col. John 7.
Callagahan commander, and the members
of the camp of Confederate veterans con-
stituted a guard of honor of the remains,
while they were being taken to the Penn
sylVania station. The military escort con-
sisted of squadron of the Seventh cav
airy. a battery of field artillery and two
companies of United States engineers.
Shortly after noon the cortege, headed by
a band, moved to the railroad station via
Pennsylvania avenue. In the column in
addition to the military contingent were
representatives of the civic society of
which General Lee was a member.
AT the church services representing the
state of Virginia and the city of Rich

Pointed to Her Innocence.

Mr.. Levy insisted that the testimony
of all the witnesses who told of scenes
directly after the death of Young pointed
to the innocence of the defendant. She
was overcome with grief at the death Of
the man she loved.
''If this girl had marked the man for
slaughter and had designed to kill him
for failing to marry her." said he, "She
had the opportunity the night before to
destroy him in secret without an eye Wit
ness IL she had plotted murder, she
would not have attempted to consummate
the crime in a crowded street in broad
daylight
ut has been said that Caesar Young
did not have a pistol. You remember that
he was bookmaker and carried large
sums of money. He came from the west
where pistols are carried a great deal.
II there any evidence in this case that
this weapon was not bought for Young
by a friend?
There is not single fragment of evil
dence in this case which will show a
threat on the part of the defendant to do
Caesar Young HARM except in a letter
written by Julia Smith. which was ex-
cluded from the case. If they called Stern,
the pawnbroker, why did they not call
his clerk? Why did they not produce
Stern's books to show that this pistol was
bought June g. 1904. and also to show that
the bracelets and ring were pawned on
the same day?
We have not the right to spend thou
sands and thousands of dollars to get evil
dence, and the right to appeal to the
board of estimate If we want more
money"

LEVY CLOSES FOR
NAN PATTERSON
Defendant Faces the Jury Un-

GOES TO The JURY ToDA'
Speaker Ridicules Theory That Frail
Girl Could Murder Trained Ath-
ete Like Caesar Young.
Rand Speaks Today.

New York May This case is one
of deliberate murder or suicide There
can be no granddaughter about it. There
should be no compromise verdict. She
is either guilty of murder in the first
degree, or not at all.
With these words, Abraham Levy coun-
sci for Nan Patterson, brought to close
this afternoon his fve-hour argument in
defense of the former chorus girl, charged
with the murder of Caesar Young.
During the long argument Miss Patter-
son faced the jury unflnehingly The
court room was crowded, most of the
attendants being women who struggled to
get look at the defendant. AT one time
during the afternoon the judge was COM
PEELED to stop Mr.. Levy while court Of
ficers expelled from the room some wom-
en- who persisted in discussing the case
in audible tones, to the annoyance of all
present.
Mr.. Levy reviewed all the testimony in
detail and declared not a word had been
introduced which showed any purpose on
the part of Miss Patterson or her BROTH
er-in-law and sister Mr.. and Mrs j.
Morgan Smith. to threaten the life of
Caesar Young.
The suicide theory was strictly en-
phaszed by Mr.. Levy, who contended
that the powder stains on Youngs fin
gers proved he had shot himself Mr.,
Levy secuted the idea that a girl would
be able to make such an assault upon a
trained athlete like Young. He also
ridiculed the idea that Miss Patterson
should have chosen a crowded public
street as a place for murder, when she
| had so many opportunities to attack
Young where there would have been lit
tie danger of detection. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Rand will close for the
people, and II Is possible the case will
go to the jury tomorrow afternoon.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE.
Standing of the Clubs.
Won by st, Joseph's,

st. Joseph's broke into the won column
yesterday at the Coliseum grounds, and
tied the Aloysius club for fourth place In
the Capital City League. Considering the
positions occupied by the contesting teams,
a fair crowd was present.
Dalrymple on the slab for the win
ners. and held the other team safe at all
stages, although his control was not good.
He was kind enough to pass to first those
of his opponents who were unable to secure
hits, often raising false hopes of a rally in
ing at the critical periods, however. rem
dered his generosity harmless Hanway
was not so fortunate, his gifts being
costly. as timely hits usually followed.
With the score 5 to 3, in the fifth inning,
Hanway lost heart, or perhaps the
strength Of his salary wing gave out, for he
began to merely lob the ball over the plate.
ST. Joseph took advantage of this lapse to
the extent of four runs in the last two
innings, secured by five hits. one triple
by Curtain and another good for four bags
by Stecker.
Although fielding features were few and
far between. Drury must be mentioned for
his pretty pickup and throw of Dalrymple's
hard smash. In the fourth peculiar play
was pulled off. Clark reached first on balls,
and had second base pilfered when for some
unknown reason he started to return to the
initial sack. Then began the task of rum
ming him down. the victim being finally
tagged by Drury, every other infielder get
ting credit for an assist.
ST. Joseph's secured runs In every inning
but the fourth, timely hits occurring when
men were on bases. Carroll could only con-
third, scoring two runs in the latter inning.

Pigeon Racing Season.
FLEET HOMERS KEPT BY LOCAL BIRD

Homing pigeons were first introduced into
this country in the seventies. New York and

From there it branched out first to Phil

Washington northward, and today there is
hardly any section in the country which
cannot boast of its local club Washing
ton caught the fever in the early eighties,
and several clubs were orga nized, but dis
banded after q short existence.
In 1880 meeting was held at the home
OF Mr. Samuel Wallace for the purpose of
organizing homing pigeon club and in
this way the Washington Federation was
launched. By conservative management 1t
