Mr. Watson: 81 want to ask what
was your business, what were its
profits, and the effect on your business
of the attack on you?"
There was objection by the defen-
dant and Judge Graham was pro-
ceeding to argue for the plaintiff when
Mr.. Whitaker returned and was asked
whether or not he had sent supple
ments to the official organ of the
Methodist church.
There was objection. which was not
allowed. and Mr. Whitaker said he did
not remember, but thought not
No Evidence of Special Damage.
Judge Graham then proceeded TO
argue for the admissibility of the
question. and was preparing to read
authorities when Judge Moore asked
him how he proposed to get around
the decision of the Supreme Court
holding that they could not introduce
evidence of special damage.
THE Supreme Court" replied Judge
Graham. sis not infallible."
Il never heard of a petition to re-
hear in the Superior Court" remarked
Governor Aycock.
1.-THE Superior Court often overrules
the Supreme Court replied Judge
Graham"
"A Justice of the Peace can do that"
laughed Mr.. S. M Gattis.
There was long argument by Messrs.
T. T. Hicks, Judge Graham and G. II.
Watson as to the Supreme Courts ex-
preston, counsel for the plaintiff con-
tending that it was an obiter dictum
made by mistake
Judge Moore ruled out the question
and plaintiff excepted.
Mr. Watson then took up the exam
ination of Mr.. Gattis. asking him
whether at the time of the speech he
was a minister of the gospel.
The defendants objected. and the
court ruled out the question.
Col. Argo contended that the pur-
pose of the question was to show that
has professional business was totally
destroyed, and this might be done, not
as foundation for the recovery of
specific damages but to show the ex-
tent of the injury to his reputation: he
had right TO give facts 10 sustain
himself.
Judge Graham also argued strongly
on the point from authorities put the
judge was immovable.
Mr. Watson went on with MT Cat

Mr.. Gattis Makes DeniaI.
Again Mr.. Watson went on with Mr..
Gattis Now I want to read to you
the charges of Dr. Kilgo. You were
examined as a witness before the
board of trustees" He then read the
charge that Mr.. Gattis was the original
slanderer.
Mr. Gattis stated he had never
slandered DIR. Kilgo; that he did not
wish to testify, but was put on the
stand by moral force.
There was tilt between Messrs
Pou and Watson as TO this last an
swer, which Mr. Watson tried TO stop
before it got as far as moral force"
Mr.. Pou laughed heartily, and Mr.
Watson said wen give you something
to laugh about!'
II was laughing at you! You are
amusing to look at!'
II am like the old fellow who used
to say he was proud to be a laughing
stock for foOls!" retorted Mr.. Watson
amid general laugh.
He says that behind a pious smile,
a religious walk and a solemn witch
of the coat tail" What do you say
to that?
Mr. Gattis: at isn't true"
You were charged with coming
improperly to testify. What did you
do? Did you testify to anything false
i'm that trial?"
Mr. CT 81 did not
"Who introduced you as a witness -
Mr. Gattis: Judge Clark or Rev. C.
A. Oglesby, representing the prosecu-

81 was subpoenaed by the president
of the board of trustees. Mr.. j. II.
Southgate."
AS to the statements about going
out i'm the dark, stabbing, etc?
81 answered only such questions as
were asked me by Rev. Oglesby."
He denied that there had been gos-
sip Of an unchristian character over
his counter. Denied that President
Kilgo had heard gossip in his store.
He had obtained the facts to which
he testified in South Carolina. having
attended conference in 1895 1886.
1897 and 1898 What he had testified
to as TO DR.. Kilgo's character in South
Carolina was true. He had no part in
originating the charges against DR..
Kilgo in South Carolina.
AS to statement that witness had
foully dealt with defendant, witness
replied that he never had.
AS to the statement that witnesses
had slandered DIR. Kilgo to DR.. Pea
cock. he stated that he never had, and
that DR.. Peacock deposition had been
taken at Old Trinity for the defendant
last Saturday in presence of plaintiff
and his counsel DR.. Peacock. so far
as witness knew. had never testified
that.
1T had been shown that this witness
is the original maligner in this case"
1t is false.
Did you ever say ANYTHING of DR..
Kilgo's character i'm South Carolina
except what you had heard Methodist
people say?
Defendants objected. Objection

Answer: / did not.
