MOORE ATTACKS AFFIDAVIT
A. A. Moore attacked the traversing
afidavit submitted Friday evening by
Heney. Heney's affidavit in traverse
to matter set up in af1davits by CAL
houn. .Mullally, Ford and Abbott dealt
broadly with detailed matters OF fact
leading up to the summoning Of the
defendants to testify before the grand
jury. The Heney affidavit also went
to the question of his own bias set up
in Ford's affidavit.
In traverse OF the claim of bias.
Heney pointed to his selection by CAL
houn as member of the board chosen
to arbitrate the differences between the
United Railroads and its employees. The
Heney afildavit also referred at length
to the publication by The Call Of the
confessions of the supervisors incrimi-
mating the officials of the trolley COM
pany. Subsequently each of the de-
fendants, through the columns of The
Call, made more or less specific public
denial of their criminality. In this con-

Roosevelt Acts in Recon-
mendation of Secre-
tary Taft

WASHINGTON, June 2e.-
Under directions from President
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft in
structed Governor Magoon today
to purchase all the church prop
erty in the diocese of Havana,
Cuba, III accordance with the
original recommendations. AS to
the church property in the diocese
of Santiago, for which an option
contemplated the payment of about
s600,000, the secretary says that he has
not been able thus far to secure infor-
nation as to it's value. He is not in a
position, therefore, he says, to recon-
mend that the option be exercised.
erty is not of such character that the
yielding of possession of it to the
church will cause any great public in
convenience.
The stipulated value of the property
in Havana is $1,47e,55o. Under the
terms of the contract entered into by
the military government and the church
authorities the United States wes given
the option to buy this property at that
price, less 25 per cent of the rent paid
up to June 1, 1907. which was s110,9 9s4.
This leaves a balance of s1,3ss, oo6.
which will be paid.
Before acting Secretary Taft sub
mitted long memorandum to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which gave in detail
the history of the entire matter. In
this the secretary speaks of an offer
OF Sir William Reading to purchase the
property in the Havana diocese at the
full price of s1,479,050, and says that
Governor Magoon cabled him that he
had good reason to believe that the
offer was made in the interests not only
OF a fruit company, but also in the
interest of line of steamships. This
amount is $4,000 more than the gov
eminent will have TO pay
The secretary says that it is true
that there is question as to whether
the custom house property, whose great
value is it's proximity to the wharf.
is worth $1,o50,00o alone, but when it
is considered from the standpoint Of
a government that must have the prop
erty, and which II 1t does not get It
by contract must obtain 1t by expro-
priation. there is not the slightest
doubt in his mind of the wisdom of ex-
ercising the option to purchase 1t.
The proposition to continue the lease
arrangement in order that the republic.
when restored to control, may deter
mine for itself whether the option shall
be exercised is not tenable for the rea-
son that the church authorities. with an
offer of purchase in their hands at a
greater price than that which this gov
ernment will have to pay, would close
at once with the offer should the United
States allow the option to lapse. There
are but two dioceses in Cuba, that of
Havana and that of Santiago.

Story Told by Girl Cause of
Tragic End of Theo-

HOUSTON. Va, June o.
After being out IS minutes the
jury this evening rendered a ver-
dict of mot guilty" in the case
of former Judge William G. Low
ing of Nelson, manager of the
Virginia estate of Thomas F.
Ryan, who was placed on trial
here Monday for the murder of
Theodore Estes, son of Sheriff Nj.
K. Estes of Nelson county. Judge
Loving shot and killed young
Estes April p at Oak Ridge, fol-
lowing a buggy ride Estes had taken
with the judges daughter. Miss Eliza
beth Loving. who told her father that
her escort had drugged and assaulted
her
The jury retired at 4:45. and from
that time until the verdict was rem
dered the defendant remained in the
same seat he had occupied since the
trial began, surrounded by members of
his family with the exception OF his
daughter.
At $50 o'clock a knock was heard on
the door of the jury room and Judge
Barksdale cautioned the crowd not to
display emotion when the decision of
the jury was announced. The verdict
was read by Foreman B. S. McGraw.
Judge Barksdale thanked the Jurors
and declared that he believed the ver-
dict was in accordance with their con-
science
After the jury had been excused
Judge Loving. his wife and other rela-
tives shook hands and thanked each
juror for the verdict Tears streamed
from ths~ eyes Of both the defendant
and his wife. Judge Loving was sur
rounded by many of his friends. though
there was no demonstration.
Foreman McGraw. a merchant and
farmer, said that when the jurors re-
tired one of them did not understand
all OF the instructions OF the court
WnlCn were redQ TO nlIQ- MCtTr4W Sd1O
he then called for the vote instructing
all who favored the acquittal Of the
defendant to hold up their right hands.
Every hand promptly went up.
When asked what the basis OF the
verdict was. he said, Insanity The
stress, he said. had been brought on
by the story told the Judge BY his
daughter. The day was spent In argu-
ment, the forenoon session being taken
up by counsel for the defense. and the
closing speech by the prosecution be-
ing made this afternoon by Attorney
Bouldin Attorneys Barksdale. Moore
and Lee for the defense spoke prac-
tically along the same lines. They
pleaded for an acquittal on the ground
that Judge Loving was insane. having
lost control of himself upon hearing
the story of the ruin OF his daughter.
They dwelt upon the testimony OF the
experts and the excessive drinking of
whisky by the defendant years ago.
which, it was claimed. had diseased his
brain. The real basis of their argu-
ment, however. was the "unwritten
law
Commonwealth Attorney Wood Boul-
din made the closing address for the
state. contending that Judge Loving
was sane at the time OF the killing.

nection the purpose of the affidavit was
to show that the grand jury acted in
conformity with its legal duty to ex-
anime any evidence that might serve
to exculpate the accused persons.
Moore insisted that the defendants
affidavits were directed at but one
isolated branch of the case-the viola
ton of the defendants constitutional
privileges by compelling them to ap-
pear before the grand jury by subpenas
which failed to show what charge was
being Investigated by the grand jury
or compelling them to testify against
themselves.
affidavits OF the defense referred to, he
had right to suppose that any counter
affidavits would be addressed to that
feature and no other. He insisted that
Heney's affidavit was argumentativa,
not responsive. and that the exculpatory
theory OF the prosecution was a bubble
and that the law contemplated no such
device for trapping citizens. Nothing,
argued Moore. would be material un-
less. 1t was directly addressed to tho
question of the alleged invasion of con-
stitutional rights. and he asked that all
other matter be rejected.
