opened the argument about all The re-
buttal testimony Of the prosecution. and
the jury was excused while counse; en-
gagged in a wordy Tray that lasted nearly
an hour.
Mr.. Moore. Of the defense, argued that
the prosecution intended TO introduce tes-
timony concerning what Bywaters did
and said. but what never came TO the
attention OF the defendants. Capt. Wood
argued that they wanted to put on these
witnesses in rebuttal to combat the tes-
timony advanced by the defense attacking
ByWatsrs' intentions and good faith in
the matter OF MS marriage with the Ge-
PENDANTS sister
Both sides produced authorities, after
more or less delay. and finally Judge
Harrison took hand in the discussion,
and. after few questions with the prose-
cution in regard to what they wanted TO
show. delivered his ruling whereby the
rebuttal testimony was excluded.
To Prove strOthers I'm Error.
Mr.. Payne was allowed to tell the
court what his testimony was, and, after
some argument the court admitted it
| temporarily, and the jury was called to
hear it, The court retained the right 10
have it stricken from the record il IL
should later prove TO be as immaterial
as the defense claimed.
| Mr. Payne told of having driven By
waters into town the afternoon Of the
wedding. and that at a certain point By
| waters got out of Payne's buggy and
/ joined a man whose face Payne could not
| see. James Strother had testified that
he met Bywaters that afternoon and that
| Bywaters got out Of mis- own buggy and
/ the negro driver drove away The prose
cution sought to show that Mr. STother
was mistaken IN this respect The value
/ OF the point not having been made clear
/ 10 the court Judge Harrison said he
/ would reserve the right 10 have the tes-
| timony stricken out.
The cOlored man. James Clark. whom
Strother has stated was driving Bywaters
at the time. was called and stated that
/ at that time Bywaters buggy was in his
stable.
state Summons Mr.. Gaines.
The State announced that it would pro-
duce one more witness, Or. Jannette, Of
the insane hospital at Stanton, Va.
and asked the court to issue a subpoena
/ for F. L. Gaines brother-in-law to the
/ defendants, the only member of the fam
/ lily present at the shooting who has not
! testified. Mr.. Keith wanted Mr.. Gaines
| called as an adverse witness, in order
| that the State might cr0ss-examine him.
After objection by the defense the court
/ agreed 10 call Mr.. Gaines, restricting the
defense 10 questioning the witness solely
along lines Of rebuttal
This move by the prosecution is not
expected to be OF material assistance TO
the State, as it is reported that the Tea-
son for the defense not having called
Mr. Gaines is that for many years. since
receiving a blow on the head, AIr. Gaines
/ has suffered from loss Of memory.
! The court will receive suggestions for
instruction from both sides Monday and
arguments will begin probably Tuesday.
Arguments are expected 20 last over We'd

thought that a verdict can be returned

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York. Dec 29.-The downward drift of prices of stocks last week in A market that was almost idle at times. reflected the restraining tnfu- ence of the scantiness of money supply and the purpose to await developm ent in the commercial position over the end of the year. The source of anxiety was clearly indicated by the brisk rebound in stock at the end of the week, in- duced by the decisive decline in the premium on currency, the cancellation of a gold engagement in London and the differences drawn from these tnci- dents of clearing of the money situ- atfon.
 Preparations for the yearly settle- ments made requirements which would give a care for their provision in nor maj money conditions. Besides divi- dend and interest payments for Jan uary, estimated at around S1S5O000 900. there fell due on January 1. subscrip- ton obligations for new Northern Pa cfhc and New York, New Haven and Hartford stocks and the American Tel ephone and Telegraph convertible bonds to the amount of nearly $50, 000.- 000 There was a good deal of calling of loans by the banks in preparing for this financing which exercised an act i've repressive influence on operations in stocks.
 There was besides. the apprehension that the money situation would react unfavorably on commercial affairs after the first of the year. Large maturities fell due at that time of mercantile pa- per based on extensive previous pur- chases of merchandise of all varieties for which the market has been noto- riously unfavorable in the depression which ensued upon the banking crisis. The market for mercantile paper in New York since that time has been scarcely more than nominal and the prospect of the continuance of that condition causes anxiety over adequate means to provide for needed extensions of some of these maturing obligations.
 One of the weeks developments which attracted much attention was the revival of a demand on the part of interior banks, small in itself. but regarded as important as a possible symptom of better things, for mercan- tile paper of the best grades. Be- sides this immediate needs of mercan- tile borrowers a feature of the money market for the coming year will be the large volume of temporary note issues of the great railroads and industrial corporations which were put out last year for emergency expenditures, after the market for ordinary bond issues became glutted and which fall due at various periods throughout the coming

NEW RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.
Several Hundred Miles Built In Tn, South During Year.

Several Hundred Miles Built In The
 South During Year.
 Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec, 29.-Several hundred miles of railroad have been constructed in the South during 1907 and it is estimated that more than s75,oOQ,000 have been spent by the rail- roads of the South in improving the systems during the past twelve months.
 The largest contract given during the year was in Southwestern Virginia wheres the Virginia and Southwestern Railroad is being constructed This work has been from different points in the iron and coal section of Virginia and West Virginia via Bristol to points in North Carolina where connections will be made with the Seaboard and kindred lines.
 When completed the line will be over 15O miles in length and will cost near ly $100.000. .0000. It is through a very rough section and the thirty-five or forty miles completed during 1907 az gregated a total cost of nearly $15,- 900. 900. The cost of one tunnel was in excess of $2.000, ,000.
 The Queen and Crescent has done double tracking to the extent of over $15,000 900.
 Thirty niles of the Savannah. Au- gusta And Northern have been graded.
 The contract for construction. Savan- nah to Chattanooga, is for $12.000 900.
 The tidewater developments in Vir- ginia. the Flagler and other systems in Florida and numerous enterprises in Louisiana and Mississippi have been very active in the year just completed. There are numerous coal lines and minor branch systems of different rail- roads which have started been and completed during 1907.
