ATTORNEYS WILL ENDEAVOR TO
INTRODUCE EVIDENCE RELA-
TIVE TO ALLEGED STATEMENTS
OF DR.. BUTLER WHICH ARE
SAID TO HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRAG-
EDY.
Rx Associated Prnss-


HazelhGrst, Miss, Dec. TN the
trial Of Mrs. Angie Birdsong for the
murder of DR.. Thomas Butler, the
prosecution completed its evidence
today.
One Of states witnesses, Mrs. Nora
Garrett, testified that she saw the
shooting and heard the physician cry:
Angie don't shoot me any MORE"
and My God. Angie, what will be-
come of you when you die" Witness
denied that she had informed Mrs.
Birdsong of damaging stories circu-
lated by Dr. Butler.
The first witness for defense was
the defendants mOther-in-law, Mrs. S.
F. Birdsong, who testified that defen-
dant, after the birth Of her last child,
showed signs OF insanity and that the
symptoms were apparent at the time
of the killing: that Mrs. Garrett, the
states witness, called upon Mrs. Bird
song a few days before the tragedy
and that after her departure Mrs.
Birdsong remarked that If DR.. Butler
had told i'll stories about her she
would kill him.
Other witnesses told of defendants
attempt at suicide few days before
the shooting.
It is announced that the attorneys
defending Mrs. Angie Birdsong will
attempt to introduce into the trial
the free acceptance of evidence con-
corning the physicians alleged state
ments about the woman who deliber-
ately shot him. Exception was taken
to the ruling of the court at the close
of yesterdays session that only such
parts of this evidence could be ad-
mitted as came to Mrs. Birdsong S
ears.
1t is claimed that the actions of wo-
men friends of Mrs. BirdsOng had
quite as much effect in driving her TO
the verge. of emotional insanity as did
gossip which she heard. Some OF these
former friends are alleged to have re-
fused to speak to her when they met
her on the street.
The case continues to attract to the
courtroom some of the leading persons
of the community and of the state. A
sad feature of the trial has been the
presence in court of the children both
of the young defendant and those of
the man she killed.

greater part of the contents. The
track was blocked for hours.
The dead are:

regular train.
Engineer Hartman, of the special.
Brakeman Rowe, Of Lewiston.

Washington, Dec. THE house to-
day passed several bills and received
from the committee on appropriations
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which was made a
special order for monday.
One Of the bills passed repeats that
portion OF the Wilson interstate
commerce bill relating to convict
made goods and permitting the states
TO legislate for themselves as to COM
petition with free labor made
goods.
The repeal of that portion of the
Wilson Interstate commerce bill re-
lating to convict made goods has
the enthusiastic endorsement Of
labor and manufacturers generally.
Under the Wilson bill, adopted in
1890, convict-made goods enter into
active competition with goods made
by free labor and under the Wilson
law the individual states were unable
10 pass a law preventing the ship
ment into such states of prison-made
goods from other states. The law
adopted to-day abrogates the inter-
state commerce law as now applied
! 10 convict-maGe goods thereby afford
{ng the states a right to inhibit the.
IhIpping of convict-made goods from
Per states. The vote for the bill
MS practically unanimous.
The bill comforting citizenship on
te Porto-Ricans went over, but dur
iny the discussion it was disclosed
that the democrats will fight the
measure whenever possible.
The house adjourned until Monday.
