first session of the trial of Grover

James B. Money, nephew to United

paratively little that is important be-
yond a tactical victory for the defense.
After hearing long debate, Judge
Montgomery oveTruled an effort to
introduce testimony concerning &C.
currences after the killing which
would tend to indicate a deliberate
conspiracy to accomplish it, This is
crucial, inasmuch as the point involves
Karl Kirbys status as a possible az
cessory The Kirby's claim to be con-
fident of acquittal on the ground of
self-defense.
Colonel Money, the father of the
dead young man, appeared in court

Norfolk, Sept 1S.-Refore he could
be apprehended by local police at the
request of North Carolina authorities,
Joseph Harrison shot himself in the
head at the GIadstor, Hotel this af-
ternoon, and the physicians at ST
Vincent's hospital say recovery is
hopeless.
Harrison was convicted of Kidnap-

sentenced to twenty years imprisOn-
ment, and yesterday the supreme court
OF North Carolina refused his applica-
tion for a new trial The child never
was found.
This afternoon the Norfolk police
were notified to arrest and disarm him,
he having threatened suicide. He has
a married daughter living here whom
Mrs. Harrison is visiting.
Detectives located Harrison in the
Gladstone Hotel, and a bell boy was
sent to his room requesting him to
come to the telephone. Laughing, he
declared the police could not trap him
SO easily, locked his door and shot
himself through the right temple He
left no statement of any kind.

COAL CARGO
IS BURNING
Cargo of the Government
Collier Lebanon Found
on Fire.

The cargo of the collier Lebanon,
which consists of about 1900 tons of
coal, was discovered on fire yester-
day morning as the vessel was mOored
at the navy yard docks, and through
out the entire day the crew Of the
vessel was engaged in unloading the
coal in order to reach the fire. Late
in the afternoon, according to par
ties who reached the city last night
from the yard, the workmen found the
blaze, and were engaged in extinguish-
ing it when the parties came to the
city.
The Lebanon came here recently
with the Huntress in tow, and is to
take the gunboat Gloucester back to
the League Island navy yard. How
long the cargo has been burning is
not known, but it had gained consid-
cradle Roadway when discovered, and
is believed to be due to the formation
CT gases from the coal.
1t is probable that the fire and dis
charging a portion of the cargo will
delay the departu3e pf the vessel
from Pensacola.

No TRACE Of
CREEK YOUTH

Although the officers have made
diligent search, no trace or John Mos
tacas, the Greek youth who shot and
killed colored boy about two weeks
since at the corner of Belmont and A
streets, can be found, and the general
impression prevails that he has left
the city for good.
The boy was eXOnerated by the cor
oner's jury, but later the father of
the cOlOred boy secured a warrant
charging the Greek with murder This
probably frightened the Greek, and
he is supposed TO have left the city
at once, probably hearing of some
of the remarks of the father of the
boy who had been shot, to the effect
that he intended getting out a war
rant.
