W SlilllE tDIl kAlfQLSNG Ul OIdtSSs-
The prisoners as they sat at the bar
were the focus on which all eyes were
set. Mrs. Jennings looked very much
troubled and careworn and distressed
Her eyes were dull, her cheeks had a
hollow appearance, and she seemed to
be as one without friend or hope. She
was rather stability dressed, and her
general appearance indicated that she
had seen hard times. Her son, Taylor,
who Is accused of firing the pistol that
killed Jennings, did not seem to be
very much concerned as to what was
going on. AT times he would appear
intently interested in the testimony,
and then he would return to an indif-
ferent attitude His actions and gen
eral appearance would hardly have inn
pressed one with the idea that he was
cognizant of the fact that his life was
being weighed in the balance by the
twelve jurynen near him.
Eliminating the matter Of interest
can you otherwise give the same credit
to the evidence of the accused as you
would to any other Witness?"
This question was continually object
ed to by the state. The court as con-
tinually overruled the question in every
case, and an exception was noted. This
will give the defense basis of car
rying up the case should 1t be deter
mined to take an appeal to the supreme
court from possible unfavorable find
ing by the jury.
The indictment f the grand jury
against the accused was read to the
jury, charging Ida J. Jennings and
Herbert w. Taylor with murder in the
first degree in the shooting Of Joseph
E. Jennings, respectively the wife of
the dead man and the step-son of Jen-
nings. The shooting occurred on Sun
day night, April s, following the quarrel
at the Brocket house, which was over
the distribution of a small amount of
property which Jennings owned.
Both of the defendants, mother and
son, have pleaded not guilty to the
charge, and through their counsel will
set up claim of self-defense.
Charles H. Nichols of New Haven,
a civil engineer. was the first witness
called by the state. He exhibited a
map which he had drawn of he scene
of the murder He explained the route
of the paths leading from the scene of
the murder near button ball tree
about half mile from Mansfeld's
Grove road. A ledge bordering on the
right side of the road was shown on
the map, tits from this ledge that it
is claimed young Taylor fired the shots
which killed Jennings.

Johnson City people are now being

some of the fastest ball games ever
played in this city. Moffett's Indians
came up from Knoxville to play four
practice" games, SO they started, but
80 far they have had to hustle to keep
in sight of our boys. The first game
on Wednesday resulted in victory for
the home team by score of to 3.
Thursday afternoon the prettiest game
the fans in this city ever saw was put
up by these teams. In the fourth in
ming Johnson City started the score
getting by putting one man over the
plate and put one more over in the 7th
In the last half of the 18th Knoxville
made its first success and put three to
the good. johnson City tied the score
in the Sth and nothing more was done
by either until Barr, the crack pitcher
of the locals, put one over the fence
and walked home while the crowd went
wild. Knoxville evened up in its half
and in the 18th the locals could not
score, but Knoxville ended the game
by putting man across the rubber.
The other games will be equally inter.
esting.
