Alleged Bigamist.

An officer went to Roanoke yesterday
from Newport News for J. r. Hunter,
who was arrested Wednesday charged
with bigamy. The officer left Roanoke
last night with the prisoner. AS mas
been stated, the charge against Hunter
;s made by NJ. J. Green, OF Newport
News, whose daughter, Nellie, married
the prisoner in Norfolk in 1904. 1t IS
said that the girls mother received a
letter from Mrs j. K. Hunter, OF Alex
andria, Va, formerly Miss Ada Langley,
telling of her marriage with Hunter
three years ago The case will be tired
in Norfolk, as the marriage with Miss
Green took place there. Hunter had
known Miss Green about year when
ghey went to Norfolk and were married
nv Rev. Father DOherty, Of St. Mary
Catholic Church. The pair lived to-
gether happily for while, but, accord
ing to the wife's story, the honeymoon
was hardly over before the groom began
10 be brutal, striking her at times.

The smoot Will Case.

The Frances P. SmOOt will case oceu-
pied the attention Of the Corporation
c MT all day yesterday and again today,
and from present indications the mater
will not be submitted to the jury tefore
early next week. Among the witnesses
heard Yesterday, after the Gazette's re-
port closed, we're Mrs. Burch, vile OF
Rev Francis NJ. Burch. and one OF the
beneficiaries. and Frank Burch, her sou.
The proceedings this morning were de-
void of any sensational incidents, being
merely a continuation of the examlna-
ton of witnesses 10 prove the mental
capacity Of Mrs. SmOot at the time her
will was drawn. When the court con-
vened shortly after o'clock Mrs. Burcb,
a daughter of the testatrix, took the
stand and corrected her evidence, given
yesterday, 10 one or two minor
details. Mrs. Jones, another daughter
of tne tsstatrix, and the wife OF Rev.
w. STROLLER Jones, whose trusteeship
Miss SIN DOT objects to, was the next
witness. She was followed by Rev. Mr..
Burch and Rev. Mr.. Jones. The last
named denied having had any hand IN
the framing of Mrs. Shoots will, but 1t
was brought out that the instrument was
drawn while she was a guest at his house
in Trenton, n. j., by an attorney recon-
mended by Dir. Jones, but the witness
disclaimed any Interior motive and SAID
that his mother.in-law had insisted upon
making her will while in Trenton. AT
noon the attorneys for the proponents OF
the will rested their case with the I'M
derstauding that they would la'er be al
lowed to place another witness on Inc
stand if they could locate him Court
then adjourned until . o'clock.
When the court reconvened at z
O'Clock Rev. DR.. Strother Jones again
took The stand and corrected certain por-
tons of the evidence he gave this morn
ing.
A number of letters, submitted by
both sides, embracing correspondence
between Randolph Barton, of Baltimore,
and the late Mrs. SmoOt and others,
were admitted as evidence.
Mis-, Ella Rose Smoot subsequently
took the stand Among other things
she said that up to her fathers death
and for some time subsequent, or until
Rev. DR.. Jones married into the family
this second time, the relations between
her mother aud herself were cordial.
